PPl always criticize the beats that are produced in this series but its about so much more than the beats. I enjoy watching these guys individual processes and how they develop beats with what they are given. Ive learned more than Ive criticized and evn when the beat isnt like super fantastic... jus watching how these cats (some legendary) chef up their work is a jewel in itself.

Real talk

[@alee0294]

Word, it's enlightening seeing their creative process of beat making. From an MC perspective, I don't think they care too much about the process of making it but rather listening to the final beat. Depends on what you are looking for also, you can't really critique something that you have no knowledge

[@stonednyc1]

It does depending on what you're doing.

[@stonednyc1]

Sometimes if youre progamming beats and sounds off the drum machine once you lay it down. It shows you what sounds are playing based on colors. So you might have 1 button on the drum machine light up different colors based on different sounds off that one button. You can have multiple layouts/sounds for each setup. Pages and pages of sounds for you to scroll through while making beats.
