  • people are hating on the 8bit..contra was one of the greatest nes games in its time..madlib is one of the best producers of this era.

  • MADLIB o shit

  • game over with this joint.. ol skool nintendo beat with fresh lyrics Mmmm tasty..

  • @note156 no it's not wack at all. madlib on this did his average work and it's dope as fuck. and drum with 8bit game things were incredibly congruent with each other. and what the fuck you wanna say about hip hop beat without repetition.

  • Dope album, one of my fav tracks!

  • sampling 8 bit material. fuckin dope

  • LMAO. Madlib could've done better than this... I'm not hatin' I'm just sayin'... ;)

  • The beat is dope!

  • Kontra.

  • Its contra!!! fuckin dope beat

  • wow. let me put it this way, if you can't appreciate the beat, there's no helping it but it's a dope beat so you should like it anyway. However, despite the beat, if you don't appreciate the Lyricism--ESPECIALLY by Percee P--THEN you don't know shit :) later haters and peace to the lovers of real hip-hop

  • The contra sample is cool, but what makes this track cleaver IMO is the play on the Hiatus Remix beat. thats the first thing I noticed. Its fresh tho. you can easly thow the hiatus acapella over this inst. and it would be dope.

    "I continue to stack legal tender, while other MC's remain broke

    You lame jokes, came close, cause you hate us

    No longer on a hiatus"

  • oh and lets be realistic how much more of the song did you want to hear..if you herd the original there isn't much more of a cool beat to follow so he looped the beginning because it would sound best integrated into a track for a spitter.

    I never understand all these other video game beats made by some cats on you tube and they will go and fuck it up with high-hats, and techno riffs and shit. THAT SHIT IS WACK AS FUCK. this was done proper.

  • wow a lot of haters out there. If you goin for an 8bit feel why in THE FUCK would he Equalize the track and bring it into the now. You people dont know how to appreciate the medium for what it was. I wonder what kinds of films you people watch. lol...This shit knockin and If I could EVER find the instrumental to it I'd be on it.

    Quit hatin

  • @LifeIzLove I agree with your point, however that 8 bit sample was pitched and EQed to make it the way it is... plus the end of it was cut up.

  • @LifeIzLove

    Nigga nobody is hating on shit....People appreciate Madlib like crazy...but just because we like him doesn't mean he don't put out wack shit....If you like this simple loop with a basic snare thats unbelievably repetitive then thats you but don't give me that hater shit because someone disagrees with you. That sounds like them Lil Wayne niggas.

  • yeah very...gameboy colour... ive heard a beat like this from a guy in montreal it was very...80's videogame music LOL its something you hate at first then it gets stuck in your head and your like MOTHER FUCKING GOD DAMNIT SHIT ASS CATERPILLAR DAMN IT ALL TO HELL

    good song though

  • you gotta start pushing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start

  • Check out this one... @phoen99rising @note156

    Illingsworth - The Warriors Did It

  • CONTRA....dope

  • up up down down left right left right b a select start

  • search suzuki kaioh altered beast

    altered beast sampled used

  • Man... I flipped this contra sample way better back in 1998!! I never let too many people hear it..I should of

  • Hot contra sample dammmmmnnnnn

  • anybody who doesn't like this is high on blotter and not mescaline! haha! this beat is dope. most of you who dissed wouldn't know real hip hop if a 12" vinyl hit you in the damn face! probably used to all these stupid ass bubble gum beats and club flows...

  • @mrhazel sorry dude...but this shit is wack...i think that in order to like this some stannery is involved...this is a simple look over a basic drum line...and its done so repeatedly that the beat gets annoying...it sounds like it was done in 5 minutes. Sorry but this is ass...

    and i love Madlib's work

  • @note156 your way too over critical. sometimes simplicity is the key. you dont always need some dr dre or storch beat....and it doenst have to be some ABC southern beat. no disrespect to the down south beats that dont sound like that.

  • @mrhazel hell no...sorry...if you want simplicity...Go to Nas is like....Primo uses the same format for his production without much bells and whistles...and is still dope...i'm a big fan of simplicity....but this shit is wack...and dr. dre does drums....the melodies are usually done by other people...such as Scott Storch...The Cocoa Brovas had a simplistic beat using the mario themes...which didn't suck, why not then you know?

  • @note156 well i have heard those all and know storch does dres keys and all of that....but if you played contra then for me it brings back some memories...thats why I like it. you are entitled to your own opinions. Im stickin with mine

  • ohhh ok i feel you on that....well when i first heard he used it i was stoked...especially since it was Madlib...but i just wasn't happy with the final result...especially with his catelog in my opinion.

  • @note156 I'd have to agree. The Contra sample doesn't sound equalized at all.

  • @phoen99rising

    There's a lot wrong with it....but the worst thing is that its just a bad loop...the loop is piss poor...it sounds like something i would do when i first had a MPC...let alone a work from one of the greatest producers in hip hop...

  • dope upload

  • I love how Madlib used the Contra 8-bit beat for this. I just wonder why in the CD credits they didn't state that they used it as a sample. Sick beat regardless. Always love how the underground turns 8-bit classic theme games into hot tracks. There are just to many to name. But my stand outs are this track right here, Big Shug Punch-Out, and CB's Super Brooklyn.

  • yea man, this tune is beast

  • oh no - the ride is a hot tune as well

  • pers is always sick

  • Fuckin´ Dope!!!

  • Anyone know how video game samples get cleared?

  • haha good one..

  • Contra and Probotector are the same game just a different name for the US and the UK

  • it sound like an old gameboy beat xD

  • @DiabloFiera 8bit tune lol

  • @DiabloFiera i can't imagine madlib playing contra XD "c'mon monstahfuckah...die die die"

  • @DiabloFiera that's that 8bit contra type of feel

  • Some megaman type shit eye.

  • @DiabloFiera its contra :P

  • @DiabloFiera Almost right! The beat's from the nes game "Probotector" called "Contra" in the U.S version :) The first level of that game's got this beat in it =)

  • @DiabloFiera iTS Mario Bro's

  • @DiabloFiera It's from the game contra from the old skool nintendo.

  • @DiabloFiera it´s like it ;-) it´s contra :D

  • @DiabloFiera cause it's sampled from Contra for NES. Do the knowledge.

  • @DiabloFiera It was not a game boy beat

    It was a beat from the game ''Contra ''(best game ever) for the Nes.

  • @DiabloFiera it's from contra man. i first found this song by way of this article
