Marley Marl 'Classic Recipes' - Recreating Eric B. & Rakim 'Eric B. Is President' w/ Akai MPC

[@gregorybranch9901]

Good to see Marley still doing his thing. I lived on the fourth floor and Marley lived on the second. I used to put my ear to living room wall and hear a lot of these classics being created. I finally got a chance to meet him through a friend of mine, and sat in many sessions with the juice crew. I will never forget this lifetime experience.

[@andrewallace2137]

back in them days it was all about the dj. now its all about the rapper.

[@alvinjohns7219]

Hip hop wouldn't be where it is today without the early contributions of this legend. He let us know "I don't care what y'all gonna do, but it's gots to be funky!!!!!!"

[@GeorgeLumpkins]

Wow, Marley Marl recreating the classic cut Eric B. is President. This man is so humble and real to just be interviewed and share the secret ingredients to one of Hip Hop's biggest and best cuts. Thank you Marley...

Classic music like this is timeless...ITS STILL ROCKS TODAY. I was in elementary when these songs came on....And I STILL LOVE IT TODAY... I LOVE THIS TYPE OF HIP HOP...

"Limitations made us what we were." -- That was the truth for SO many different upcoming genres of music. It really made producers push the limits of what they could do and explore and try new things and really further the music. Great video!

[@AlanBailey]

These are just mind blowing to me. I grew up with these records, and believe me they took alot of finding in the uk. I learn't to scratch by listening to Marley, from Marley Scratch onwards.... Thanks so much for doin these :-)

[@Realkamanchisly]

The whole of the Great Britain loves you, Rakim, Eric B, James Brown and Mr Clyde stubberfield for this and many more classics!!! You have added so much to the culture, this rocked our jams and carnivals in 1986!!! God bless HipHOP!!! we will never stop.....Hijack Uk 1988 to 2013>>>>PEACE!!!!!!

Soo excited that you guys decided to make another one of these.

[@IhateUrFuckinFace]

First of all these videos are just incredible. Thanks. Before I even stumbled upon these Marley Marl 'Classic Recipes" videos, I was just saying to someone the other day that Marley was my all time favorite producer in Hip Hop. Number 1 in my top 5. Coming here and watching this only solidifies that opinion. :)

[@okaytony1540]

Sheesh. Classic breakbeat seminar right here.

Wow, glad I caught the tweet that took me here. The essence of hip hop boiled down to all it's constituent parts by the true master. I feel honoured & educated having seen this.

[@onewaydreokay4080]

This song was genius, and is still a classic in my book! I remember hearing check out my melody for the 1st time and I thought it was the rappin' Duke because of the slow flow. NOT! Shan says on his video that he played the keyboard on Eric B. is president, But this shyt is still tight to me. I like the original version over the remix tho.. That's just me tho. Rakim is the best that ever done it! Thanx for the video Marley.

[@ShirtOffLJay]

this is awesome. been searching for something like this. i'm fascinated by the behind the scenes process of producing music; and hearing stories about how the classic records got made is incredible. thanks

[@paddy_wax]

[@kyngkai3942]

this was awesome Marley Marl! Thank you for teaching me about those ghost notes! I appreciate when GOATS drop gems on us.

[@mastamnd]

Appreciate this man! Long time comin'... Thanks for blessing us. True pioneer in every sense of the word 'producer'. It's funny. You hear how he spoke of 'limitations' and how it forces you to be creative and learn how to turn knobs to get certain sounds. All I can say it experiment, experiment, experiment! Yes you need good samples and but even still it's what you do with those samples that makes something dope.

[@daddyants]

All Hail Marley Marl. Straight Beast!!!

[@johnmiller3394]

you a fuckin' genius Marley Marl. You are a big influence on how I produce and write. Thanks!!

[@Tazmanian_Ninja]

Amazing person, this Marley Marl dude! 😎 He's a legend. Remember his productions from my first vinyl records as a kid. And I wholeheartedly agree on what he's saying about creativity arising from limitations - and making those 4 tracks COUNT. Rock. Nowadays, with DAWs and unlimited tracks, many producers tend to use way too many sounds and elements for their own good. We're not Wagner (the classical composer) you know;)

[@RapFanatic4ever]

1:00-1:04 What happened was Rakim flipped the game on it's azz upside down and became a legend and still is to this day

Theses are so great, thanks dub spot!

[@ecksfromva]

PeaCe! These are always inspiring and they influence me to be original, also keeping me from making that cookie cutter mud you hear today. I think the reason why music like this doesn't get made today is simply because producers just don't know the recipe. Anyway keep 'em coming, s/o to Marley Marl. I wouldn't mind seeing "Ain't No Half-Steppin'" recreated there was like 6 samples in that jawn. PeaCe!

[@edselljr]

Tell me now that " Paid in Full" isn't the best rap/hip-hop album everrr, also try to find a better hop in the before time was hip to it; a better hip hop song other than Eric B. for president. Even though Marley Marl is beyond a King of things. Rakim hits the wisdom along with it. My words are not Sorry because I still own an Atari.

[@arkhitektz3150]

you people are romanticizing rakim a lil too much lately...

[@Saintboss]

Marley Just makes the art of sampling incredible. I just got back the grin of sampling listening to him explain the science behind the making of true hip hop. There's nothing like having to sit and listen to vinyl samples and placing 0.5 sec kicks, snares on a Limited 12 second SP1200. Our Culture was unique and a one time event. What fun we actually had.

[@kz113kz]

Caught the radio show 11-08-2013; krazy (It felt like Open Mic on the Mr Magic Show / WHBI). And 'Classic Recipes' needs to air on BET, MTV, etc
