[TheAbdullah23]

Premier = pete rock

[anigbochic]

that little trumpet interlude, i heard that on one of Nas' tracks called "get down' or sth like that. i knew i had heard that sumwhere b4 but i didnt know it was borrowed from Pete Rock.

Pete's the Man!

[CMilliBeats]

@anigbochic It's actually "borrowed" from James Brown's identically named song. :)

[anigbochic]

@CMilliBeats : wow, didn't know that, but their melodies sound so similar...

[enigmaticlucifer]

@anigbochic the trumpet beat, it originally was sampled from a song by "Lord Finesse - bad mutha ".. it's a great song..

[PhflyDan1]

Talib Kweli on THIS???

[MrHarrison1337]

If this song was an animal it would be a Chin-Chilla!

[anigbochic]

@MrHarrison1337 : LOL, couldnt agree more.

[AnimegaBoii]

this dude has the steel drums in the mix man, thats the shit.

the basis of sit, smoke, and chill music man.

the steel drums.

[chandlymen]

[oskamadison]

[mnymatt]

[LouieV6]

2 people came out the closet after buying Timbaland records

[vinny1986er1]

casually smoking crack to this rite now

[EnjoiNcSkater]

@vinny1986er1 fuck crack, roll a good joint of that dank shit, get comfortable, and blaze to this

[TrueDiligence]

Beat's classy

[oskamadison]

The most INSANE aspect of Pete's production? His ability to take multiple samples from different records and somehow have them ALL in the same key, like they were from the same record. It goes without sayin' but dude is a genius.

[edieselentertainment]

Feel good joint!

[HerbaliSSSt]

love the james brown sample !!

[advaslim]

Two people think THEY'RE the boss...

[khaliamoon]

This is "smoke it and relax" music!

[cookaszek]

@ThaRealHipHop2008 HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL YEAH !!!!

[sonicxxx100]

[musicbypac]

i don't know ANYone else who makes tracks like Pete Rock ! he's genius

[catch2370]

happy to be alive

[joshmdps]

Omg, i had fancast running in the back and an ad came up saying,-"Tires, Grills, and even Fans." Im sure nobody knows how i feel right now but with pete rock in the background any advertisment would be beast.

[Pdogg370]

does this guy have any songs when he sing?

[benerban]

@Pdogg370 Listen to the original: "The Boss" by James Brown

[Anonx82]

[TheXaguto]

[jadasic]

eargasm

[nubonyx]

Ahhh!!!! This joint is so funky.

[BboyJayRock]

I just freestyled hella to this, that was amazing. I love you pete. If ya'll like him look up his brotha grap luva who was an MC on the INI album which pete produced.

[patrickrob]

James Brown - The Boss is still my fav but pete did it alright

[snubbs741]

what's that effect called at 1:20? it kinda has a backwards sound or something

[wolfman42793]

@snubbs741 Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if those parts he really rewinded it.

[wenerchod]

Just finished listening to this 100 times in a row. i think im down for another 100 more

[7matador17]

THIS SHIT IS LAIDBACK, STRAIGHT FRESH, STRAIGHT FIRE

[RJota15]

[eddie85832]

j dilla sample this in played it backwards ..made the song drop my pharcyde hot shit

[9Bamba5]

@eddie85832

I don't think he sampled this one,i think he sampled another song and player it backwards just like Pete did.

[bigblack326]

this beat is amazing

[MrDeltroid]

If you listen to J Dilla's music very carefully you can tell that Pete Rock was his biggest influence.

[v2shan]

This sounds a bit like Drop by Pharcyde and that was produced by J Dilla... revelations! :O

[YouKnowWho2112]

@MrDeltroid he was! Dilla told pete when they finally met "i was trying to be you"

[KarlBonner1982]

The piano and beats here give me wood. 'Nuff said....

[thephatblue]

Wow, this makes me feel so relaxed, keep it up

[Parker1006]

I'm an aspiring Dance DJ, but I've been looking for instrumental Hip Hop to switch the style up. I've come to the right place :-)

[KarlBonner1982]

@Parker1006 I'm also aspiring DJ but I want to do lots of hip hop, though eventually I'd like to get into house and trance and maybe a few other dance genres too...

[ceplea]

Words can't even describe this beat. I mean really. Who woulda thunk it...

[funnelking300]

cigars and a yaught please.

[illric5]

ill beat, check my freestyle to this...

/watch?v=tgyIyj2imog

[Sugglife]

I bought the first incarnation of this BBE joint back in April of '01. I'll never forget coming home to bump it two times through, and a full summer of drinking and smokin crazy blunts to this joint...such happy memories. Pete Rock, I can say, is one of the key artists that helped paint the landscape to my youth.

[golden280]

so tight

[JMVEntertainment]

pete rock = true hip-hop, soulja boy = fail

[tcw00]

@JMVEntertainment True

[JMVEntertainment]

@tcw00 +1, soulja boi = garbage rapper; all hip-hop needs to be like this = smoothed out

[tcw00]

@JMVEntertainment You got that Right! I miss real HipHop that had Meaning. I don't even listen to rap & R&B stations No more

[JMVEntertainment]

@tcw00 +1 again, i listen to my 90's oy ipod touch and pandora, snoop dogg radio, pete rock radio, people under the stair radio, any many more, even found out about underground artists i never heard before, dela got some nice beats such as the bullshit and stakes are high

[Joramboo]

insane

[noircei16]

Itis My favorite jazz beat evah

[cornerstone1019]

Love how Pete flips the sample on the second verse in reverse and still locks the beat on the SP1200..Awesome work!

[mctate1705]

LOL!

[squillysk8]

No ya didnt ya douche

[mctate1705]

LOL!

[kingfarid1990]

hip hop + jazz = pete rock

[TrueDiligence]

It's like smooth jazz + hip hop....Damn, it's so smooth

Wordup from Brooklyn

[bdis89]

[nabeelballer]

[smokinballa415]

ma dukes = mom

[nabeelballer]

thanks man

[8past8]

Forever endeavoured to get your soul searching

That extra little treasure when you find your soul purpose

Since I first heard it, now I observe and word it

A lot of set backs but kept at it, and kept working

Determined to follow through

Fell into that trap of tomorrow will do

My brain became a hollow tube

Swallowed fumes, few knew I sold small portions

I'm back to rap, release these endorphins

[8past8]

cont...

...Amateurs ignoring the kings that came before 'em

Very technical but technically very boring

Rainfall walking, solo missionary enforce men

That kept me stalking these beats

[beatzperminute]

at the end ( 4:36 ) , whatz this ??? this sounds nice

[Singh1237]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.........just fade away to the real hip hop.....

[MicJones]

I must've kicked a thousand freestyles to this beat over the years. Still as amazing as it was the first time I ever heard it.

[ThaRealHipHop2008]

haha.. thats it boy. damm right man.

[cibor1111]

Nas - Get down :]

[djlarks12]

actually Lord Finesse - Bad Mutha :D

[treeZon1]

actually James brown ''the boss''

[DnnQns]

Track 8 On The First Edition Of "PeteStrumentals"

Track 9 On The Second Edition Of "PeteStrumentals".

[treeZon1]

amazing....the loop is so trancy

[ThaRealHipHop2008]

Ha! damm right guy

[CWroyal88]

I just found the main sample to this beat. This song samples "Satin Doll" by Dorothy Ashby. It's off her self-titled album "Dorothy Ashby" from 1961 on Argo Records.

[treeZon1]

it almost sounds like theres a JB guitar riff from his ''the boss''

[ThaRealHipHop2008]

kool man , thx

[ceplea]

@ThaRealHipHop2008 I just went and listened to that song by Dorothy Ashby and it makes Pete that much more Genious.

[CWroyal88]

@ThaRealHipHop2008 no problem man! just helping out.

[ceplea]

@CWroyal88 I just listened to Satin Doll. Pete Rock is a ridiculous genious. What would make him think to use the few seconds of that part of the end of that song to make a masterpiece like this? He has a great ear. That is just amazing

[LebannersHook]

@CWroyal88 Love it!  Thanks

[vinavichi]

Amazing beat! Pete Rock is to Beats as Einstein is to Physics

[SK8MAFIA4LIFE16]

@vinavichi nice analogy

[shoplifting1is1fun]
