The making of a masterpiece.

[Willo Clarkz]

that shit is dope, that was one of hardest song ever

[LosAngelesGoldenEra]

nobody goes on myspace and your beats now are garbage

[oDJOldskull]

I wonder if you have kissed the hand that fed you... mr. Lonnie Liston Smith was at least mentioned on the back cover of album with at least 0.5 px. font ?

[StillShow]

Damn this song is so great, exactly what I need

[Negerzulu]

REAL producer, with passion for his work to the fullest.

This will never get old. This is what I'd be doing for a job, in my dreams... (law school wtf?!)

[thekoppel]

well put.

[greg55666]

These videos of musicians talking about making their music are amazing. Thomas Dolby has posted videos of how he puts together songs as well. You can learn a lot.

[Iisrupac]

Delicious stew of samples

[matt gaither]

good quality.

[DreadfulControversy]

I never said the hi hat OR snare WASN'T from the sample, though. I just said the kick.
