[LATQueens]

7 years later, Black Milk still wears his fitted hats like that lol.

[dutchog1]

[Pranation]

[dutchog1]

@Pranation YO in no way was i trying to disrespect you with that said

you must have been born yesterday if your dumb ass ait never seen a a pair of technics 1200s

they where the best tools of the trade of over 30 years.

[djdreamproductions]

[dutchog1]

@djdreamproductions lool i need to clean my ears out

[djdreamproductions]

@dutchog1 hahaha



[djdreamproductions]

@Pranation actually, its a Stanton turntable, which he clearly states @ 0:58

[snubbs741]

is that record at around 3:05 a Chick Corea sample? or Jan Hammer? something like that

[BL3ST1NE]

@snubbs741 john abercrombie timeless

[RAAB0601]

I can honestly say that slum village's reunion is one of my favorite hip hop songs of all time. Im probably missing out on alot of other classics that people have as there top. but reunion was my favorite song for so long, dope beat dope verses and elzhi's verse at the end is so dope and real

[dondenimw]

Great producer.

Just count how many times he says "you know what am saying"

[ATDC]

@JazzyFunkaHolic damu kills it.

and madvillain is one of my fav albums. madlibs solo discography is overwhelming! there is soo much.

i feel like black milk gets over looked a lot.

over in Australia at least.

every one over hear gags for Dilla and madlib.

but black milk is my favourite producer at the moment, and has been for a while.

[bartjuhh12]

is it me or is there only audio on the left?

[toad20toad20]

How you gonna have fucked audio for a video about a producer??

Black Milk is blessing viewers with bangin' beats and the camera man doesn't check his levels... or find whatever the fuck is feeding the whole time... or fix that right channel. Come on man.

...regardless...

Thank you Black Milk for keeping real hip-hop alive.

[tinktwiceman]

Anybody catch what size KRK's he's using?

[toad20toad20]

@tinktwiceman RP5s (black & yellow) and Kroks. The 5s are sufficient for the average sized room. 6s aren't much of a difference for the price and the 8s are unnecessary unless you have a big room or if you're tryna piss off the neighbors (that's why I picked up the 10s sub)

[tinktwiceman]

anybody catch what size KRKS he's using?

[7lightconcept]

what's the first Vinyl he's playing?

[icecubex13]

[adg87]

WOW, you are trying to roast one of the dopest producers in hip-hop who gets more for one beat than you make in 3 months at your yes-man job. Get a life and stop trying to be witty you dope.

[agenthelios]

Get off the dick faggot!

[cambreezy]

[MrDatpiff]

If he's telling you that he's producing for MAJOR artist, like Loyd Banks and Slum Village etc. he's not BROKE. Do your research before you make yourself look like an asshole again. Bitch

[alldayallnight89]

[guttaville]

yea, its called "Swing Dat Far"

[fade2brown]

thats the record from solange t.o.n.y

[hammerrich16]

black milk is on top of my list as a producer, rapper 4real

[IntroProductions69]

Its midi production center not music

[Mun0z387]

MIDI is an acronym meaning "Music Instrument Digital Interface", not a word. But you're kinda right.

[CAallday209]

im looking at my mpc right now and its says music production center right under MPC.

[rockhills]

Apparently Akai change "MIDI" to "Music" after the 2000xl.

It looks like the 4000, 2500, 500, 1000 and 5000 all say "Music Production Center"

[tatatanishaaa]

i looooooooooooooooooooooove me some black milk

[Jehovaaaah]

Milk is a big inspiration, to see someone doing this kinda shit in this age at such a yung age, im 17, and Milk is already one of my favorites.

[Jehovaaaah]

whats an MPC??

someone get back to me bout dat.

[Mun0z387]

Music Production Center. A sampler that "samples" and mashes audio snippets to create a new sound... basically. This one (MPC 2000 XL) would go for about a grand.

[Jehovaaaah]

thanks B

[BrokenSoundBeats]

you can get one $500 easy

[neldothesnowman]

my boy gotone for 600

[Bcrawshaw]

@Mun0z387

2000xl and any model before was a Midi Production Center- They only changed the name to Music production center on later models such as the 1000 and after.

[treeZon1]

i like that he understands his equipment..and that hes not just an ignorant fuck with a bunch of shit they dont know about..milk is siiiik with it

[andrewhiteeminem]

Respect +1

[skaterdj67]

man why do people talk shit on youtube..who cares if black talk like that i dont mind it...black people are talented. so dont come on here saying racist shit about people that to you blackraingraffiti.

im native american, spanish and white and i dont say racist things about people and i respect everybody, thats how we natie americans are. anyways sick bea tand interview im learning a lot about things in making beats

[freemanhubbard]

What? It doesn't matter what your race is, being respectful is a trait you are grown up learning and is fostered through your experiences and support by families and friends, doesn't matter whether your black, white, red, yellow, orange, pink, or fucking rainbow. We are all people, some just don't understand that. People are talented, not a race. And racism, that just needs to stop, your not inferior because you either have too much melanin or not enough.

[stnmr]

what are the names of the artists he plays?

[LMessi101]

Black Milk candidly discusses his experiences and shows us his humble beginnings. Then I read below and the comments page is riddled with more racist slurs and loads of crap about the use of the N word. If you're not going to discuss the music or Black Milk then go away. If you're a racist keep it to yourself and stop contradicting yourself by watching You Tube clips of Black Milk, Dilla, Wu Tang or whatever. You Tube needs to kick people like you out. NOW

[BTC141]

Yes, I agree. Racists buffons have no place on Youtube. Fools like BlackRainGraffiti need a reality check. Peace and blessings LMessi101.

[jizzy2sexi]

Co-sign everything you said completely

[hutme49444]

@LMessi101 word

[joshgoldenc]

the midwest always has good soul music! ain nothing like our music!!

[Hoopsaholic31]

Racist.

[BlackRainGraffiti]

Who is!?

[BlackRainGraffiti]

Its like the word 'Nigger'. Why can a black man call another black man,'Nigger' but when a white person says it. Its then deemed inappropriate?

These black people must know that the word 'Nigger', is a derogatory name to describe those black people? So why do black people persist to call themselves it? Yet its unfair for 'any' other race to join in on the name calling. Load of bullshit feel sorry for me story if you ask me, white people and other races are more under threat then black people.

[watupange]

ok ok calm down.. i dont argue over the internet.. its stupid.. so peace.. BLaCK MILK IS THE MAN! lol

[BlackRainGraffiti]

I made a valid point, let it be known.

I dont argue either, its just stupid people like yourself letting your preaching rights get above yourself again.

I know my position before I speak, make sure you know yours.

[BTC141]

WTF? R U FUCKING RETARDED! The N word is loaded with centuries of oppression and degradation of whites hurting black people. Yo, I ain't black and I ain't white but I would never...NEVER use that word in any context even if you're joking around and trying to be casual. Leave it alone dude. This ain't your debate.

[BlackRainGraffiti]

Seriously when I see someone use the would "Retarded" It makes me think, are these really that intelligent.

Just makes me laugh how black people contradict themselves.

[BTC141]

Your comment underlines just how young and inexperienced you are. Tell you what, walk up to the biggest, meanest black dude you see and say the N word to his face. You'll pick up some life experience you won't soon forget.

[BTC141]

Your lack of experience is starting to show again junior. Why don't you just walk into a black community and start using the N word if you think it's alright. Put your money where your mouth is. You think you got all the answers but dude you're just a youngster living with your parents or guardian or foster parents or whatever. All I can say is you got some growing up to do. It's a black thing and if you ain't black you'll never understand. Leave the Muslims out of this.

[BTC141]

I can't believe we have to go through this all over again. Black people aren't contradicting themselves. The N word is a term of endearment and kinship they use when speaking to each other. It's called linguistic nuance. It has shades of meaning between two speakers of the same ethnic and cultural background. You'll never understand this cause you're not black. And now you're bugging on Muslims cause they wear a birka. I'm pretty sure you're the only problem here. We're all fine.

[BlackRainGraffiti]

I understand all this, its still not needed but I am sure there is nothing wrong with it in your head.

If you had a clue what these little disturbances had on our communities and the world you would realize that the face mask Muslims wear is nothing more then there to cause a problem in communities and to destabilize people from one and other. That is a fact but you would not know this.

Your an absolute idiot, I wonder how long that took you to type out.

[cardiacthapoet]

theres a difference between the two words. if you don't understand the difference, then why even comment about it? ignorance is what keeps the world in turmoil. if you don't understand, then don't open your mouth about it.

[BlackRainGraffiti]

Well instead of talking in riddles, how about you explain the difference to me. If you do know this so called difference.

[cardiacthapoet]

it wouldnt matter if i did. if you don't understand nowyou'll never understand.

[TRoN1Ck]

stupid fuck.

[BlackRainGraffiti]

"YO ITS YA BOY BLACK MILK"

You black people have to stop speaking like this, starting to get annoying now.

I am not racist before you start with that shit, just use proper language.

[watupange]

i agree with u.. but i hate when people say "black people" or "white people".. like why do people put other people in categories.. there should be ONE category, and its called human beings

[BlackRainGraffiti]

You think I am being racist when I say this?

Yet again you and others make the fake that I say 'Black People' as if I am racist.

Now well are all the same, YES! But do you know any other race who speak this way?

So don't talk to me with your preaching shit. I know that we are all equal, lets just be truthful here.

[watupange]

no need for an attitude.. im not a "black person" but i really get annoyed when people say it.. can we use african americans instead?

[BlackRainGraffiti]

But African Americans is no less offensive as the other. If I used African American instead, then somewhere down the line someone would say could you use the word Black People. You can't win.....

Attitude!? I think you call this, sick of stating my point over and over again.

I am no racsist or someone who cares for where you come from but 'Black People' In general speak like this. Thing is, as we know. We are all humans, so why do they choose to not speak probably. That annoys me!

[TheRemedE]

There's a producer called Peanut Butter Wolf ... he's not made of peanutbutter ... and he's not a wolf ...

..It's just a name.

Just like Black milk .... just a name.

[DeftFlow]

Not all black people talk like that

[BlackRainGraffiti]

Did not say 'all' black people talk like this.

[DeftFlow]

"You black people"...sounds like you inferred it.

[chantiti]

"black slang" is no longer dominated by black people i dont know where ur from but i'm from London,talk to 5 people from 5 diferent races and they ALL speak the same

This shit is now an urban thing and not about race.. you never heard a white or asian guy talk with this lingo???...what is proper language in ur eyes? just like everyone has a different perception of 'normal' behaviour people have perceptions of 'proper' language what may be normal to you may not be to others and vice versa

[BTC141]

Everybody speaks shreds of Ebonics nowadays but remember that black folks brought slang and Jive into the mainstream language. If it weren't for the first black Jazz cats back in the early days slang would sound very very different. Rappers over time inherited alot of their dialectics from Jazz musicians including language and nuance.

[ZoNeBx1160]

that ny fitted is serious whats the name of the joint he did wit banks? hit me up if any1 knows

[kingjaymo]

that reunion was one of the best hiphop jointz

[Ezr1987]
