[SikMedia]

[philosophpoland]

3:32 - cute asian chick standing alone. Id would hit on her if I was there.

[cgproduces]

[drdef]

@adigangsta Jemu the Fudgaja!

[illuzual]

my fave damu beat right here!... every layer he adds just maximizes the dopeness, its incredible!

[adigangsta]

Damu the Fudgemunk & Jeru the Damaja should work together

[PahiranVsKevin]

@adigangsta

great combo idea!

[Sweettoothe12]

@adigangsta that collab would be sickening

[EndWorldViolence]

@adigangsta I wonder what the story behind Fudgemunk's name is. Possibly he was inspired by Jeru?

[adigangsta]

@EndWorldViolence Don't know, could be possible though. When i heard the name Damu the Fudgemunk for the first time was i was like, "uhm his name goes along with Jeru's name, maybe they're brothers" :D

[crayyawn]

@EndWorldViolence also Del Tha Funkee Homosapien! There's a video of him explaining it in a short interview with Underground hip hop (dot) com. Here's a link: /watch?v=0C4TFsaEff8

[cyrusjerome]

thats a high tech red cup

[holy0damn]

damu is such a great artist, listening to how it should sound makes you go through whole pallet of human emotions. he is shy and modest im sure he has a lot going on in his heart.

[MondoNutz1]

Excuse the old machinery, THAT"S THAT GOOD SHIT! :)

[hankeshh]

dope!

[nickparry331]

ughh!



[DigitalDevilXL]

LOOOK IT GOES TO SHOW THE QUALITY HIP HOP IS APPRECIATED ...

[WheresTheFreedome]

the music brings 4ever peace.

[cyrusjerome]

I fuckin snapped when he brought in the pete rock horns at like 1:48. not sayin he's biting or anything that was just the sickest thing ever

[KeepItFresh02]

@cyrusjerome if we are sampling from older music arent we hiphoppers biting anyway? i think finding samples already used and doing it your own way is dope, just as long as it sounds dope of course. the way damu used it is dope as fuck.

[cyrusjerome]

@KeepItFresh02 Yeah hip hop sampling is just biting clearly. but i look at it as, you sample your favorite thing from a song which in turn makes it more accessible to more people. So hip hop is a way to make someone who may not listen to a certain type of music open themselves up to it. just my opinion tho

[Basheedz]

You have got to love his hair :o

[MuzismMusic]

I went to school with this Cat... We used to battle at lunch hehe...

[du0t0ne]

amazing!



[crayyawn]

@DopeNeedlz yeah! that de la sample is great. i love how damu likes to use recognizable samples, he has a crazy musical mind he just fits all this different stuff together beautifully and uses recognizable stuff in a new way, it always works.

[Jiztite]

Yo I love how He used the cannonball aderly sample , " tensity" , at 1:53! THAT WAS DOPE!

[zjedzmacoche]

1:53 pete rock use that sample. any one know it? pls let me know

[MegaG15]

@zjedzmacoche Hahaha yeaaah I was thinking the same thing :D

I think he used it in Pete Rock - A Little Soul or either Pete's Jazz :)

[MBtopdog]

we need some more floppy disks!

[AzadAntia]

I love Damu the Fudgemonk

[AzadAntia]

Damu is a good man

[MegaAnanasa1]

[TheSinghFIRE]

this is dope, but it just shows how good j dilla was. this dude is dope no doubt, but Dilla would of done something cleverly different. im nt hating though, don't get me wrong. im just trying to get my head around jay dee's production- even though thats gt nothing to do with this.

[drumsandivory]

@TheSinghFIRE ya damu and jay dee are really different...

[kpeacesmith]

I'm in a state of reverie and awe like that guy at 3:33 ..Damu is so relaxing to listen to.

..and what is that thing behind the guy in the yellow right after, it kinda looks human

[michaLone]

damn! i hope finesse grabbed the mic later on that night!

[Spacejesus123]

i wonder if these people realize how lucky they are

[OriginalOrigins]

@Spacejesus123 i Kno you fuks with real hiphop so just youtube this TFTS Promo Beat "ODE"

[phakt]

@OriginalOrigins peeped it. Dope shit.

[CAZPERsayz]

whats the name of the first beat? i know its minnie ripperton - les fleurs but it showed me the original song not this version, i want to know this version because shit is fucking sick man!!

[TheHowGuns]

the best

[karlthunderaxe]

so what exactly is he doing on his MPC to perform this?

is he triggering the samples individually or is it more like he's playing back a sequence and then selectively muting/unmuting the loops?

[dendendn]

@karlthunderaxe I think he is playing back sequences and mute/unmute what he wants to hear. 

[karlthunderaxe]

@dendendn cool, thanks. so is there like a "mute at next loop point" function or do you have to hit it right on the beat?

[dendendn]

@karlthunderaxe Well, I don't have any MPC background but this is an old machine so I guess it is right on the beat. And it looks so. peace.

[karlthunderaxe]

@dendendn actually, i looked more into the MPC's track mute mode, and the loops do turn on/off only at the loop point. which makes a lot more sense, he's always hitting the buttons before the beat.

[ignorantSlinky]

wish my city had bbq like this every now and then...but i gotta deal with shufflers techno and lil wayne...damu is a king

[JuniorFromTheDee]

I wanna see a live like this once in my life!

[BluesChopper]

that vocal sample is so dope

[YoungGravMusic]

recently did a remake to a damu instrumental, it'll be dope if you guys checked it out. Thanks in advance.

-Grav

[millah11]

One of the best beats I have heard ever. Espically for one that has some out from a decade other than the 90's. This is the shit! 

[minaeVStudio]

Hey, Damu. Check my shiat /watch?v=tKewowkN1g8

[henrygeeable]

You gotta love his beats!

[Deutschessofa]

Soooo good amazing shit...i feel very happy if i listen to that!

[doyawantmore]

what is the end song name?

[nwasigns]

@doyawantmore The song is day by day. Theres a video of it on youtube with raw poetic spiting on it or there is the instrumental version of it with a crazy japanese fighting video.

[MPCripper]

lol give it up for lord finesse in the buildin

[alfro12]

Does anybody know what the first beat in the intro is?

[gironpawn12]

@alfro12 i think its wonka beat 3

[djkaseone]

Dope!

[gotsteeze92]

....speachless

[OriginalOrigins]

Damu deserves his own tv show

[seanlychou12]

DAMMMMMNNNNN - U

[youngsly21130]

i wish Damu kept those 16th hihats in the "Prosper" song of Kilawatt

[aidsgunz]

DAMU! a god among men.

[LocaliLLocano]

don't stop the dope from getting in my brain.

[LocaliLLocano]

I'm loving it!

[raitei202]

my man rocks the floppies!

[blitzrps13]

"excuse the old machinery you know you gotta wait for this stuff to load"

"THATS THAT GOOD SHIT!"

LOL

[kpeacesmith]

@blitzrps13 ..I thought he said "that's that new shit" ..word word word

[chanilla1]

@blitzrps13 make a good sample for a pause in a track.

[deathbycupid]

@blitzrps13 rocking floopys too.. that shit is dope

[requiem160]

the 2000 has track mute as a menu option (google it 8) so that is probably what he is switching up there. Love this beat like all damus 8)

[Peejay011]

Why cant this shit go mainstream?

[Lucasglue]

@Peejay011 Because then it wouldnt be special

[thedreampolice]

Damu, I LOVE your stuff! But don't you worry about your floppies going bad or loosing your discs? How do you manage that?

[lunchpastej]

Whats the name of the song at 1.16 and a few second forward???

[shamelads1289]

can anyone tell me how he hits a pad and then the drums arnt muted any more? or if thats not what he's doing what is he doing? thanks

[crayyawn]

@shamelads1289 yeah. do you have an MPC? its the track mute option. you record your drums or melodies or whatever on different tracks. and then you can use track mute screen to assign each track to a pad, and then silence or play the tracks you want. so he hits a pad and the drums he has recorded come in or they get muted.

[italllies]

i can dig this !

[deucethemenace]

who could dislike this?

[flicaxmontana1]

is this hiphop

[djfdel]

Man this dudes beats are crazy

[prawieskreczmasta]

what is he doing with the pads while song is playing? mpc2000 doesn't have a next sequence or track mute option?

[RAAB0601]

@prawieskreczmasta im pretty sure the 2000 has track mute

[prawieskreczmasta]

@RAAB0601 i know, but you have to press F3 instead of pads (not like for ex. in 1000)

'the ? remainz' heh ;]

[minardi800]

now this is hip hop

[TimelessBeatz1992]

[hardcorelifeforus000]

ive been replaying this video over and over and over and over and over and over again, reminds me of the days of real hip hop

[PankiiTheDude]

so sick he use floppy disks .. damu !!!

[montanaboy99]

@PankiiTheDude MPC's came with Floppy Drives in em.. You could get external SCSI drives, or CD-Rom drives, but real hiphop cats use floppys.

[beetz15s]

Is that insight at the end?

[hochsr]

So wish I was there, DAMU AND LORD FINESSE, that shit would've been the best BBQ ever!

[StylesP1987]
