At lot of us in this forum write about how Kanye does this and how does Kanye do that... Trust me man.... your production skills gotta be tight to come up with that track. I aint jockin' my man Kanye but Im tellin you this is real hip hop. I guess this is the result of doing 5 beats a day for 3 summers. I welcome your input.

DJ Centerstage.

agreed that this is a good track. but he didn't do anything, those are loops kid! just loops. not saying the its no good but i doesn't take sh*t to loop.

i still love that track though!

peace

Next to be "It`s Your World " track by Jay Dee Baby Paul

that track is cool, but I like the track Faithful better. The only thing I don't like about Kanye, is it seems like he tries to be 'old school' too much.

I hear what you sayin however, old school feeling was the theme of this album check out the Okayplayer site or Scratch issue of Common`s direction for this album oppose to his last Electric Circus.

I mean who has filtered beats now? I took it back there. (question)so u just looped the drums? I mean i chopped them, but they sound very loopish.. i didnt chop them like marley marl chops. i dont want to give it away, i mean i'll tell u how i chopped them but i dont want to say it right there and points to the recorder. dont know if anybody read this but just wanted to add that since everybody is saying he looped them not here to argue with anyone just wanted to add something to the convo thanks

Yea I remember... That was a good interview... Now maybe everyone can stop jockin duke cause "he only rocks loops"...

That is a st8 loop! Yea, he chopped it (Away from the rest of the song) but its a loop of a segment. I have that record. Kanye loops in clever ways sometimes so u might not get it 1st off but its a loop with layered drums over the top.

I think this is going a little besides the point tho....His whole stlye is built around sampling (Loops....Breaks...Hooks etc) so there is really no need for the heated debate

Its all good....Imma Kanye fan too.....After Rza, Alchemist & Jay Dee

agreed

Yeah, hes sayin he chopped it cause he doesnt want to admit to looping and half of the people reading will believe him and not know wtf hes talking about!

Yes, he looped most of that shit. BUt dont get all defensive. Im not sayin anything negative about it. I luv that track, and I luv the fact that he loops and samples. But dont act like hes some original genius who invented sampling..........cause he didnt.

There's like one or two more obvious ones off top I ain't thinkin of right now. Besides them drums been available on Drum Crazy for years before the Strictly Breaks joint. Imma have to check the-breaks.com see if they got the original info, sorry yall, I ain't no fanatical way-back DITC record collector dude. It's like the early 90's when erybody was rockin 'Impeach the president' drums complete with UBB crackles and all, just gets kinda old after the first few..............Oh, log on to www.phatdrumloops.com if you want them Kanye drums for free! And to the cat that made it seem like it's impossible to remake Kanye the Great's amazing beat, I think there are more than a few on this forum that could pull it off lovely.

then do it. give it to a certified gold artist, get your video on mtv and bet and have a coke and a smile ****

making that type of beat isnt that hard. Its not making the beat that is the hard part. Its everything else.
