LAMPdog had me falling out my seat at work with that beat.
Growing up off of Crenshaw & hwy 10, I admit my bias & voted for UNDO. The sample played a bigger part in the sound & the drums were SPICY.


LAMP since you are so synth heavy – I was wondering what you thought about mike deans 4:20 release last year.

Undo... dig the track, was worried it'd become too repetitive but the use of the samples was really well done.

Lamp... gave you the vote, I could see myself putting this track into the 'ole cd changer and listening to it plenty of times.

Good job!

Sorry Null, a massive **** up on my behalf, they swapped my usual Wednesday day off to Tuesday this week. So with everything being groundhog day at the moment and the feeling of your barely alive, I did everything a day early :WTF:

Many apologises dude

It happens, bro. No worries. I usually write the wrong year down, for the first 3 months of a new year.

Not synth heavy at all. I consider myself drum heavy with healthy doses of synth. I don't listen to Mike Dean or Travis Scott at all.

NT and I used alot of the same snippets and Imma tell you EXACTLY how! We BOTH used threshold 50 and let the mpc autochop, LOL! 'Cause we lazy.

Actually I grabbed the chunk of the sample I wanted, made sure it looped alright for start/end points, discarded, region chopped... 16 or 32... I forget... and avoided the sections that weren't landing quite the way I wanted them to :D

Played the chops straight at the BPM I wanted, then pitched the whole thing down until I didn't hear many/any clicks or silence. 3 sections of just the sample played this way, and then made 4 variations to taste.

Sprinkled in drums and a couple other sounds from the sound fairy... and entered my relatively pedantic entry.

Still... agree with the lazy part on my behalf though
