Exile - "Rhythm Roulette" Live From The Sprite Corner

Sprite invaded Mass Appeal's Rhythm Roulette and invited people who had money. This shit's still pretty dope tho.. Check it!

Mass Appeal presents "Rhythm Roulette" featuring Oh No [Video]

I've posted a video from this series before (featuring Black Milk), but this one's a little different. I really enjoy these videos because you get to see which techniques certain producers use. And this one's pretty dope. Oh No went to a local video game store and picked 3 different video games, and later went home and sampled the soundtracks to make a beat. I had no idea that was possible so I thought this video was interesting. The beat turned out to be pretty strange but it was still cool to watch. Shoutout to WCW/NWO Revenge.

Mass Appeal presents "Rhythm Roulette" ft. Black Milk [Video]

I've recently been introduced to this video series, "Rhythm Roulette". Each episode features a different producer who's been directed to visit a record store, blindfolded, and pick 3 random vinyls. The rest of the video shows the producer creating a beat from the 3 vinyls. Every episode I've seen so far is pretty dope and shows how talented these guys really are. Other producers include Statik Selektah, Illmind, Marco Polo and Erick Sermon, just to name a few. Check it.

Beatmaking Session with Grim Reaperz (Crown, Cystic & Supervillain)

Some more European shit! Grim Reaperz hit the booth with the camera and get to making a sick instrumental. I thought this was entertaining and the beat's pretty dope. Check it.

TeamBackPack presents The Beat Show ft. Billion Coast

I'm becoming a huge fan of this TeamBackPack movement. They're always displaying some of the craziest underground hip hop shit from people I've never heard of before. This one's from a series they have called The Beat Show, which features producers letting their beats play live in front of the camera. Billion Coast is the producer shown in this episode. Check it.

Live From The Streets: Mr Green ft. Matisyahu, Benefit & Kyon Williams

Here's another addition to Mr Green's unique "Live from the Streets" series. I think this one's really dope. I haven't heard anything from Benefit in a looong ass time. But he spits some really dope verses over the beat made by Mr Green and Kyon Williams. Check it!

"Lost Beats Volume 1" by Memorecks

Here's a cool video of Toronto producer, Memorecks, breaking it down on the MPC 1000. It's 11 minutes and features several beats, performed live. Check it out!

Behind the Scenes: "Dangerous Three" by RA the Rugged Man ft. Brother Ali & Masta Ace

One album that I'm looking forward to this month is RA the Rugged Man's "Legends Never Die", which will be released on April 30. This video takes you behind the scenes of just one of the songs from the album. First off, Mr. Green takes you through the production process of the song's instrumental, and leads into RA goin nuts over Brother Ali's part. Later on RA steps in the booth and starts wreckin shit. The scratch part he was showing off sounds so sick.. I need to contact that DJ lol. Anyways, check it.

Live From The Streets: "Tent City"

If you follow us regularly, you'll know that we keep up on Mr. Green's "Live From The Streets" series. This morning I found a new addition to the series, with another interesting use of a sample. This time, Mr. Green visits a small village called "Tent City", where around 40 people live together in tents. He meets up with one of the citizens, gets his story, and a recording of him singing. Later, the recording was sampled into a beat that Mr. Green would proceed to get two emcees to spit over. This video is the making of the song, but if you would like to listen to the song in its entirety, click here.

YouTube Series: Infameezy Sessions

I was browsing through my Facebook feed today, and I seen a link posted by an old friend from high school, Infameezy. Looks like he's posting beat videos, and if you like the beat you can download it for free. It says on the video still shot, "Free Beats for kicks. Like it, favourite it, subscribe & I'll give you more free beats". So to all you broke motherfuckers out there. The ones who can afford internet, but can't afford beats. Here's your chance to get some dope instrumentals, free of charge. The video that I've posted is the 2nd Infameezy Session. Open ya Earz!

Mr. Green: Live from the Streets ft. Peter Rosenberg, Soul Khan and Uncle Terry

If you are a fan of beatmaking, you'll be sure to find this interesting. Mr. Green has produced instrumentals for well-known emcees including Pace Won, Young Zee, Jedi Mind Tricks, and several others. If you search him on YouTube, he's most popular for his "Live From the Streets" series. This series takes you on a journey through the neighbourhoods of many cities in the United States, where Mr. Green is on a search for street performers. He'll record audio clips of the street performers and take the audio files back to the lab and create a beat out of the samples. I think this is a really creative way of showing people that there's more to music than just instruments and typical composition. Creativity and imagination are also key elements to producing unique sounds. This is just one example of the many videos he's contributed to this interesting series. Open Ya Earz!
