Making hiphop with the MPC

I was wondering if anyone on here had made some hiphop stuff with the mpc 1000 that I could hear some audio of?

I was wondering if anyone had some links or information about making hip-hop beats with the machine also?

Thanks.

thats unheard of, who makes hiphop with a mpc 1000? they must suck because its impossible

information on producing hip hop on the mpc 1000? ummmm don't try to sound like overplayed/tired producers and don't bother emulating their style cuz they are soon to fade from the charts...[/quote]

all my shit made on mpc 1000 alone

....I use my MPC 1000 for what is was meant to be used for.....holding doors open.

if you wanna make hip hop beats i think the most important thing to do is just first become a good listener. notice what you like in songs, be aware of what you think works even if you don't like it. then start making stuff and don't allow it sound like anything you've heard. what hip hop really needs is originality.

Sup,

Here's a track we made last summer for my boy's EP.. beats done on the mpc, enjoy!

I'd hardly say that was hip-hop.

Do you wanna hear some beats???

I made these tracks just using an MPC 1000 and a turntable. I wasnt even near a computer.

Please reply back with some feedback on each beat plz

I'd hardly say that was hip-hop.

hip hop enough to kick your ass, wait til you hear the version with vocals.....but unfortunately boom boom bap does not satisfy me. why not use the mpc's drum capabilities to their fullest potential? do something exciting...

and for the record, i've studied the music like a scholar and i feel this is more true to the hip hop ideal than any "crunk" music. in all my listening, i've decided that hip hop should stay out of big corporate studios. hip hop's true home is in some leaking basement. hip hop's true food is microwave pizza or ramen noodles. i respect dj kool herc and bambaataa so much more than some tool hip popper.

bridging the gap between hip hop, drum n bass and electronica is an essential step...be different, even if it costs you fans. progress the genre...premier's era is over. i love the man to death but it's 2005...nobody's still trying to emulate elvis's sound...

no disrespect. please don't take any at all. i am simply justifying myself as hip hop. regardless, did you like it?

i disagree with most of what you said Ant but i do like the track and i can see you DnB influence. DnB is what i started out spinning so that may be why its appealing to me. anyway keep it up and try to be more open minded about hip-hop NOT having limitations.

peace

hip hop has no limitations at all, that's exactly opposite of what i mean.

it's we who limit ourselves instead of allow the music to continue to grow technologically and as an art form. it's the old argument between those who appreciate modern art and who do not. do we accept that there was a "golden era" of art (in this case hip hop) and forever try to emulate it (producing to a certain sound because it has proven to have done well)? and by doing this, continue on the well beaten path and eventually drive it into the ground?

or do we open our ears to new possibilities? keep the blood fresh and uniqueness alive?

this is not to say i don't love a dj premier or alchemist beat. they are stepping stones for us, as we hopefully will be stepping stones for others. i've spent my coulntless hours listening, learning, and loving these people.

now here we are. look at us - using samplers. pro audio equipment, to make music. that is wild beyond many of our dreams already. remember when all the beats were just 2 records spinning off one another?? now we're using directx plugins, racks in our homes, and even integrating our computers into hardware. we now have one of the widest varieties of tools pretty much right at our fingertips.

that's one of the reason there are so many of us. it's so easy to get started.

see if you can link this up to what i'm saying, it's an interesting word history i found.

"tutu" is the yoruban word for cool (yoruba was the tribe from which most of the North and Central American slaves were kidnapped--2 dominant social traits included Rhythm and Orality). "tutu" was the first word to mean "cool," what we conceive of it today. the verbal products of rome and gaul were like "noble" or "elegant," all kinds of fancy shit equating to wealth and social status. "tutu" on the other hand means fresh, dope, appealing somehow in a social/artistic way. this is a concept which is fundamental to hip hop...

and we need to keep it alive and kicking.

@ antonym..

doesnt matter what your track is classed as once its good.
and this is good . really well constructed beats, new layers coming in all the time...

were all those beats programmed using solely an MPC1000. the timings very tight on them.
keep em coming

that's exactly opposite of what you mean? i said not having limitations with a "NOT". i just think hip-hop deserves more than a leaky basement and ramen noodles. and if corporate studios are the segue to more airplay then then let em do there thing so that us producers will hopefully have an audience willing and able to peep our sh*t.
