Mathematics....loved that track. The genius of primo!

[@DJFurio]

Such a great track

[@ericfields2809]

My absolute favorite producer

[@BDaManTheRapper]

Major props on attempting that Mathematics sample, that one is tough to duplicate!

[@DJFurio]

Seriously difficult I know. The chops are crazy on it

[@nobass5756]

Thank you for sharing your skills, I love all your video. Take care.

[@DJFurio]

Appreciate it. Thanks for watching

[@sharde8581]

Fantastic

[@dubsbangermusic]

another great video my beat brother!!!! dope scratches as well!!!!

[@DJFurio]

Appreciate that my man. Thanks.

[@dubsbangermusic]

@@DJFurio no problem brother keep up the dope work

[@DaPhunkPhenomena]

Another brilliant video that shows once again how much sampling is not only finding a loop and putting a beat to it (even if finding a good and rare loop is already a task in itself). I always thought about Preemo as a paradox : basically he samples Jazz and Funk, but sometimes he give those samples a kind of "Electro" treatment (which make me think he could have been an excellent House Music producer as well). I think especially about "Mass Appeal", which is a very short sample from an Jazz-Funk track with decreased speed and pitch that finally sound like an almost electronic track : hope we'll see it soon in one of your next videos ! 😉

[@DJFurio]

He’s one of my favourite producers if not my favourite. Mass Appeal is really hard to recreate. I tried it a while ago and struggled. I might give it another go and see how it sounds.

[@TonyFlorean]

@@DJFurio one of my favorite producers for sure! He inspired me to make sampling as well! Love your vids!

[@DJFurio]

@TonyFlorean thanks for watching

[@solomonb5990]

great scratching g! and i loved to see represent in there, one of my favourite tracks ever!

[@DJFurio]

Glad you like it thanks. And Represent is such a great track

[@iceb-akap77ice93]

Yeah man. Top sampling. Yeah Represent is one of my favourites too. Wicked video. 🔥

[@DJFurio]

Glad you like the video. Thanks

[@badnewsproduction01]

Great videos. The sample breakdowns are a great series you got going. Looking forward to see more in the future 🔥

[@DJFurio]

Glad you like them thanks. I will be doing more like this.

[@markvogel5872]

Omg I think my boss has that album of samples you are talking about in a collection we just bought! Cool.

[@DJFurio]

Which one? The George Clinton album?

[@markvogel5872]

@@DJFurio yups! Guy must have been a dj in the 80s and 90s had a bunch of old rap. I love discovering all that og stuff.

[@DJFurio]

So many samples from that album. Gang Starr Blowin Up The Spot samples an entire track from it.

[@xavierlafontaine121]

Another banger video! Quality! Keep at it

[@DJFurio]

Glad you like it. Thanks. I will be doing more like this.

[@illanoiz1]

Thanks for sharing….picked up some gems!

[@DJFurio]

Appreciate it. Thanks.

[@Da7thNemesis]

I'd like to see you do "Fight The Power" from Public Enemy!

[@music4allpeople627]

What about Kanye west?

[@DJFurio]

Fight The Power has about 20 samples in it. I can look into it but might not be that easy.

[@DJFurio]

Kanye has some good stuff

[@titanjake8640]

​@@DJFurio yessss! So many. Thank the Bomb Squad for that lol

[@dja.selekta]

Yeah, the Shocklee brothers are the forgotten fathers of audio collages Madlib and a few others continues the tradition ✊🏽

[@dantepatel]

DJ Premier is a pretty big inspiration for me. My favorites are when he would chop jazz piano pieces, like in "Me Or The Papes" and "When I B On Tha Mic". A "chopped piano" (as I like to call it) has a distinct aesthetic that goes really well with hip-hop. I've started trying it out in my own beats. If I can make some recommendations for your videos: I think you should work on making your voice sound more clean and crisp. A compressor will help you accomplish this. Also, some background music would be great (maybe some old J Dilla instrumentals?). But overall, there is value to analyzing these old musical styles- keep it up.

[@PALEHORSE88]

This inspired me to get my ass back on the MPC and chop up. It had been a long 2hrs since I last banged on it.

[@ruffrog]

The last one had me smiling

[@DJFurio]

Such a great track but so hard to try and do live in 1 go

[@ruffrog]

@@DJFurio I was more thinking ‘this isn’t the tune I got’ then I went back and realised I’ve always played the original. Listened to the remix and you nailed it 👊🏾👊🏾 - regarding the D&D all stars

[@DJFurio]

Oh yeah. I like both versions but decided to do the remix for this video.

Dr.Dre use them same drums for Snoop Dogg doggy world

Is that a Mancunian accent I hear

[@DJFurio]

It certainly is. I remember you well from all the Fat City nights back in the 90’s.

[@youcantbeserious4488]

@djfurio do you have the full instrumental to intro beat?

[@DJFurio]

Yeah it’s from my 90s Boom Bap Classics album djfurio.bandcamp.com/track/i-forgot-what-my-name-is

[@youcantbeserious4488]

@@DJFurio Thank you!

[@TonyMontana33452]

6:41 You started with the drums again but this time didn't say where from.

[@DJFurio]

I said I didn’t think they were sampled from anywhere and are just some individual drum hits so I just found some that sounded fairly similar.

[@TonyMontana33452]

@@DJFurio Sorry. I meant to edit it to ask where you found yours from that sounded familiar cause I think yours are better. Also I can't seem to find the drums you found in the Graham Central Station -The Jam 1975 in the Gangstarr - Speak Ya Clout. You wouldn't happen to know the YT timestamp would you? I've listened to the record a few times and am wondering if there's another version perhaps.

[@DJFurio]

@TonyMontana33452 I can’t remember where I got those drums. They were just individual drum sounds from a variety of different drum beats. Have you fully listened to The Jam? There’s a long section a few minutes in where it just plays the drums for quite a few bars. I would suggest you play the track without skipping through it.

[@TheMaceo900]

decorate ur studio man!!

[@keenobserver6592]

no disrespect butt I Like the primo beats better...! as an overall dj...and would it be possible for you do do a video of Alchemist beats....Daniel Allen Mammon!!! dj ALC!!! Pretty Please!! from Los Angeles!

I can look into Alchemist beats

1993?

The George Clinton album? Yes it was released in 1993
