Rhythm Roulette: Thes One | Mass Appeal

[@AGirlCalledNicole]

Thes One is literally the West Coast's best kept secret. One of the greatest producers I've ever heard...

[@13lood13ath]

Sadly he just retired.

[@aidanc9838]

PUTS for life

[@Etcher]

B+ is Ireland's best kept secret - and oh look there he is creepin' in the back

[@beatfanatic9438]

This guy, Madlib, Dilla, Kankick.. basically everyone that kept the real shit alive but also adding new elements to the game in the early to mid 00's. The reason why I make beats. Much love to People Under The Stairs.

[@VictorVonDoom909]

One of the greatest groups ever! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP Double K!

[@nathanharris7815]

He will be missed

[@_20nine_]

I've never been star struck in my entire life until I saw Thes One and Double K slamming beers across from me at the Bar, then to watch them perform in the most intimate venue I could ever ask to see them live. A dream come true, changed my life.

[@polaroidsky]

You lucked out, man. Happy for you! Not seeing them live while Mike was around is one of those regrets I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.

[@ajdOOm04]

@@polaroidsky was taken too early man

[@champsound8030]

One of the few who used ONLY the records. Respect

[@soundme9939]

and that's the way it should be. :)

[@lonelykid7691]

can add Carmack to that list

[@mitchellhall7382]

Yea I don't know why he was complaining about the records. He obviously knows how to flip a beat proper.

[@rustymixer2886]

​@@mitchellhall7382cuz mid 80s Philly records had cheap cheesy sounds, he had to really slow sounds down get a hiphoplike beat

[@cotathemc4797]

That notepad at 2:56 gives a good idea of how dedicated these legends are to the craft! All hard work

[@shawnorjiakor]

People Under The Stairs are hella underrated.

[@nevohe12345]

word up

[@gregc7699]

underrated is an understatement when talking about puts

[@elibsf]

west coast underground legends forsure

[@cotathemc4797]

True indeed. Thes One is a legend in the L.A. scene!

[@S1RCH]

Most definitely

[@cheerless3]

Met PUTS a looong time ago, in 1999, they were outside the venue of their own concert pretending to be security. I recognised them immediately but no-one else did haha. Love their music and Thes One is a very underrated producer.

[@OSTeez]

Funniest dudes in hip hop !

[@allstar930]

One of the best in the whole series. The beat was fire.

[@stevesartstudio]

This was the best rythm roulette by far. Thes one is a genius!

[@Nickword1]

Thes One & Johnny J are my 2 favorite west coast Latino producers. Would had been such a blessing to see them work together on something. R.I.P. Johnny J

[@Monuments1]

Thes One’s ability to produce gold out of basically any music is absolutely mind blowing. PUTS lives forever. Rest In Peace Mike ❤.

[@jayqsamo]

w o r d

[@celestineguevara1374]

Thes One, your beats are always chill & on point. 10/10.

[@Peepininmywindow]

"I live an analog lifestyle sometimes it's wild." One of my favorite's, thanks for putting this up.

[@AvantR]

rest in beats Double K

[@HanzSygnal]

I like how he doesn't talk as he goes along and just focuses on what he is doing

[@therealliveguy]

that studio tho!!!!

[@dbcooprrr]

Thes one built it himself!

[@Anythingelse83]

Best set up I've seen so far in the series

[@terrymiller111]

It's a-ight. No. Shit is nice!

[@Greaterthanthou]

this guy was a huge influence on me back in the day. And he's still got it

[@MCHJ]

He killed this one! So smooth....

[@chrisgalactic]

Thes One is so dope super underrated !! First concert I ever went too was a PUTS concert & their energy is amazing! much love

[@gregc7699]

one of the most underrated producers and mcs period in hip hop I've said that for years love people under the stairs wish there records were easier and cheaper to find :(

[@shawnorjiakor]

💯

[@cotathemc4797]

Their sound was so timeless.. It's like they shaped what the 90s would've been if it continued what was going on in the 80s

[@pex3]

you mean, what the 2000s would have been if it were a continuation of the mid nineties

[@cotathemc4797]

colenbrak I think people give too much credit to the 90s for being feelgood though.. by then everyone was on their own agenda! The 80s was about moving the crowd and bringing the party to the music, which is People Under the Stairs to me

[@pex3]

cotathemc ah i see, i thought you meant sonically

[@spinitch]

Top 5 episode no fuggin DOUBT! If you know, you know... this level of chopping, filtering, layering, etc. only comes with years of experience and a one-in-a-million ear like Thes One's. Salute to one of the greatest ever!

[@DLesMusic]

That beat sound like Los Angeles. Respect Thes One

[@thekidsallgrownup]

THES ONE DOES IT AGAIN...Always a pleasure watching talented artists create something from absolutely nothing. Dope track.

[@Sm0k3009]

Who remembers Thes One destroying Will I Am in that beat battle a couple of years ago? Lmaoo I still remember how salty Will I am was towards the end

[@Droopydog79]

I remember it was two different styles but I loved thes one . Hands down

[@venum98]

Will was hella salty after Thes first track cause Will came in week with that computer wack shit excuse for a hip hop beat.

[@djmontyforyou]

I GOT IT ON DVD!!!

[@Sm0k3009]

@@djmontyforyou please upload it, that’s gold hahaha

[@wesleywoodard9965]

Thes is the best & the reason why I make beats . Love from Austin Tx PUTS forever R.I.P. Double K , the realest & most humble rap cat I ever met

[@AndeyPewpew]

one of my favorite producers

^Now that's what I'm sayyyynnn

[@VAHZGEN]

stylezNout hello. I was like #100. Thank you for your time.

[@OSTeez]

Damn, Thes One is so underrated that even his Rhythm Roulette is one the most underrated of all ! The best one IMO !

[@EEZAL]

THEEE most " top shelf " studio to date for the Rhythm roulette series .... man that shits stacked !!!1

[@jakeharrell4327]

Thats what I'm talking about! I love so many producers y'all have, but so happy to see thes one! And of course this dood makes maybe the most fire ass beat of the whole series. Too underrated!

[@SeraphymMusic]

His studio is SICK!!! The beat he came up with is pretty nice as well!

[@cristoferwest5570]

"with soul in our ears, we hear loops they cant"

[@joshcannonball]

one of my fav beats to come out of this series. man is next level

[@rishi057]

People under the stairs never cared about the fame they just love what they do I love them

[@jaemez3247]

Incredible. Saw them in Portland 2002. RESPECT.

[@alee0294]

That 3000 is sexy as hell. Chill beat too

[@Dezdirectz]

It really is lol

[@cotathemc4797]

Just amazing. Nothing can beat the feel of an old, used MPC!

Lusting over that outboard rack

[@cotathemc4797]

+Gino Boomino warm sound from hot signals!

[@Jimbrewski1977]

Didnt they custom make that?

[@VAHZGEN]

This fucking dude DOES NOT get enough credit. Maybe it’s me being selfish that I’m glad he isn’t mainstream and commercially unknown. Anyway, been listening to PUTS since ‘99, and they never disappoint. Respect to Thes One

[@Somewood11]

So dope! We need a tape of those Rhythm Roulette

[@kaickprogrock]

Peru represent! proud of you Thes!

[@MrJayBeatstv]

i look forward to these every time

[@ArchangelsBeats]

shows why he's one of the greats out of Cali

[@devakawtsn]

You guys need to make an album with all the best beats on there. Let everyone vote for their favourite ones.

[@gripperholmes91215]

Happy Heavenly Birthday Double K✊🏿😢🙌🏿

[@MattmanAZ09]

Credit due for making the whole beat with ONLY records. No pulling his favorite drum kit. He made due with what the record gave 👍

[@6hr0n05]

one of the best producers.

[@TerryNayman420]

I've been watching these rhythm roulettes for a couple of months, and was waiting for thes one to do this! people under the stairs are my all time favorite!

[@dylanosmond3340]

I love this guys brain and how he thinks about beats, reminds me alot like qtip from tribe. Awesome producer/MC!!

[@moalisiddiqui]

I'm just learning about how making/producing beats is done. So, getting to see artists being challenged out of their comfort zone to make something fresh and just sound great is fun to watch.

[@newbraskia.3992]

Rest in peace Double K!

[@b2d327]

I knew that 80s joint was gonna have the gems.

this one is one of the best rhythm roulette ever!

I always come back to see and hear this. I love listening to it. Killer beat.

[@jackmaniacki]

one of the greatest of all time

[@dylanosmond613]

I absolutely miss these kinda videos ! :'( :'(

[@lamontricks1074]

2:57-3:10 Joann Gardner voice and how he filter her voice 🔥🔥🔥

[@vyzyne]

Low key a classic

[@BigJBeats]

Theres a bonus DVD in a 'People Under the Stairs' album "Step Father" where Thes shows you how to make a beat on the MPC... That's where I learned the "Filter Bass trick"... It was the most inspiring tip for a young beat maker... I got to tell Thes how much that helped me out one night at a PUTS show... Such a good dude!!!

[@BionicRasta]

He sure lucked out on that Joanna Gardner album, you cannot overlook 80s soul.

[@thexiafury3104]

Been waiting for Oddisee, but thes one is dope as hell too

[@brucesbeatlab8911]

sick! rhythm roulette really gives inspiration to other producers!

[@Pasquale004]

Hands down the greatest producer in a hot minute!

[@Iamstarchildd]

Nice set up.

[@thebertoTRON]

Yeeeeesss!!! Glad to see a legend on here! Beat was different and dope.

[@niekopie4621]

Amazing work. A true Rhytm Roulette and love for tha Music. Thx

[@TaylortjsYT]

He killed this, we need to start hearing artists spittin on these beats though, could definitely hear DOOM on this beat

[@tommyvvoets]

Yo thought exactly the same

[@tDames]

I can hear Curren$y on this one too

[@TheAtomicSynth]

Nah im cool without any rappers on it. Beat is killer by itself.

[@djmikeylove]

+tDames of The WerkHeads thats what I was thinking

[@brycemackey]

9th wonder had rhapsody rap on his iirc

[@RahShanProductionsMTU]

One day I hope to get down like this dude.

[@SoundSignals]

The best turntable/cart set up in Rhythm Roulette to date, a record clamp, ortofon headshell and an ortofon 2M Red, respect! I am shocked at how many producers have such abysmal sampling set ups in RR.

[@sandhu87]

The best Rhythm Roulette episode and the beat.

[@N0zix420]

Wow thes is simply amazing this is the best Rhythm Roulette

[@markbruggeman274]

i used to be play one of his instrumental albums a lot some years ago. it had this tune sampling "the choice is up to you, its up to you". absolutely loved it.

[@hexolific2008]

That actually felt like something thes one would've done back a few years ago!!! Definitely sick with it... I love those vibes

[@djmekalek2134]

GOAT. That beat is nails.

[@Dandandandandy]

Can you make an instrumental album with the best rhythm roulette beats??

[@chakabantou]

Bro that would be great, I'd buy it

[@fynnmichlin]

it'd be a nightmare for sample clearing

[@Dandandandandy]

HAHAHAHAH

[@SleepFan771]

Couldn't they release a free mixtape, so they wouldn't have to pay samples?

[@fynnmichlin]

Ocean Sage you still gotta pay it. a small producer like me would have no problems, but this channel has a few subscribers eh.

[@lamontricks1074]

I love this beat he cooked up

[@KingOfThe4Way]

Definitely in my top 5. Thes you the man bro ✌

[@MrBookemasindano]

Finally! I've been waiting for this one since I found out Thes recorded one.

[@JIMBO95]

Wow, Amazing! Of course he killed it. The best flip of Rhythm Roulette!

[@DodoDiaz]

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! PUTS! Big fan!!

[@natehorn7709]

first time watching this one, what he said at the end holds so much truth. this was a dope episode i wish i seen mad long ago lol

[@JayJayRealhiphop]

F I N A L L Y ! Thank you Mass Appeal.

That joint fire! Dope

[@Scratchtheblock]

Nice soulful work by one of the most interesting producers from the underground hip-hop scene

[@adalbertobeats]

I liked amazing beat

[@shadowaccount]

DOOM would put this track in shambles

[@mastamnd]

Nice chill beat. Great studio!

[@n3rds3y3vi3w]

never heard a producer say they avoid sampling jazz! one of my fav genres to sample.

[@belak1551]

To be fair Jazz samples was more of a east coast thing in Hip-Hop especially the 90s and early 2000s.

[@HiddenCharacter1]

RIP Double K! 🙏

Rest Up!!!!
