Sample the record at 45rpm and chop it up nice. I mean if you really wanna do that stuff what you gotta do is listen to the original records and figure it out, theres no secret formula or nothing. Peep Fredra Payne's Good Times (I Get High) and break down Style P's joint.

basically


i own a 2000 and sample the record at 45, then tune it to fit in whatever space i need

since most of these old soul records are about 2/3 the speed of a rap beat, playin the record at 45 rpm puts it just about right in sync ith what you're doing

the sped up vocals are just artifacts of the 45 rpm theory that sound real cool when you put `em in

Actually, I believe it was NO.i.d. who taught (influenced) young college dropout, kayne west how to make beats. I think its so ILL that no id, producer of the classic 'ressurection', taught this young cat how to make beats w/ a little soul in em...and this cat who wants to make wild loot, is bringing that influence to mainstream culture. It was like backpackers and commercial thugs all actually agreeing on 'good music'. kayne is a beast with his.

kanye isnt very street or thuggish...listen to his songs, the guy just makes good music...he makes the same backpacker soul beats that No I.D. does, he just happened to get signed to a more commercial label that knows how to market artists and sell HUGE amounts of records
