Rhythm Roulette: Black Milk

On this episode of Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal linked up with one of our favorite producers here at Mass Appeal, Black Milk. Fresh off the release of his LP No Poison No Paradise and Glitches in the Break EP, Black Milk invited us down to his studio in Dallas, TX to participate in the blindfolded challenge.

[@Verysickbeats]

Loving how this series proves that no purchase is made in vain as long as you are creative. Its basically all about putting sounds together whether by looping, chopping, dissecting, whatever... Peace to all #beatmakers and #producers

[@99tstaples]

This is how you turn lemons into lemonaid. Nice!

[@sephirothprime8403]

Except that one he put in the closet 😂😂😂

[@are0173]

Was just reading the comments and 👍🏼 the comment and Low and behold it’s the Teacher “very sick beats” let’s get into it -

[@ionbriceag]

peace J

[@WebWebCero]

I've watched this series twice and I must say that Black Mill took the worst records to work with and despite of that, he flipped them like a boss

[@Mr_EOUS_SOUNDS]

Clemente Cusato like a boss ! That beat is mad nice . And he's in Dallas .... would be nice to link up if he still is .

[@Keukeu45]

I think Oh No had it worst with his shitty N64 games

[@solgryn4591]

@@Keukeu45 r u meaning that beat was wack or sample?

[@v1leye708]

no doubt , this dude is crazy

[@denizendenizen]

eh i thought that christmas record was quite a gem. but yea nonetheless he killed it

[@alphatan2]

Black milk so fresh he made a beat with the shit he picked, he was able to do his taxes at the same time 5:06

[@khronzalonz]

bro was on some next level accountant shit lmao im dead

[@ImDougDimmadome]

LMFAOOO

[@ntnnot]

:D

[@VANDREL100]

he's an accountant :D

[@triggawoods6888]

alphatan2 😂😂😂😂😂

[@IsaiahDusseauGaming]

That was honestly a dope ass beat for sampling some christmas records. Props

[@TasherreRisayMusic]

Black Milk handled his business. Great episode.

[@PenpalSeff]

this is probably one of the best Rhythm Roulettes hands down. this was amazing, the chops were too nice on the main sample

[@brandnewtubesox]

he's really good

[@tutkufilms]

+PRLYZHax exile is a bit better

[@myonnewilloughby6309]

+PRLYZHax so is jonwaynes

[@chriswellz5993]

+PRLYZHax I mean of course. He's from my city, home of Dilla!!!!

[@buckeyefan05]

And then came 9th Wonder's Rhythm Roulette.

[@dj_jazzywhut]

He is the man, get Doom to do one of these.

[@citizenzombie]

Up Vote this, so Mass Appeal can see it.

[@EncourageSquirt]

Get DOOM to do anything! I wish, man, I wish.

[@lw3257]

Doom or 9th wonder would be dope! Danm I wonder how raw dillas would be ! R.I.P the greatest hip hop producer of all time!

[@adamroberts1096]

Doom wouldnt turn up for filming haha

[@seandafny]

***** lol u aint lying

[@abstrakt_thought_]

You can just see the depression slowly sink in after listening to the albums

[@revolveronvinyl]

probably the cleanest studio yet. so nice!

[@brigadierburnsauce]

So crazy to watch these dudes fiddling around on keypads ultrafast like a background Star Trek character who's actually doing something.

[@i3sm3]

+ZANO .beats sorry I'm not cool as you to spend time on KZbin searching for shit to watch

[@Zanobeats]

HAHAHAH just kidding bro !

[@skrtreynolds]

Black Milk was dope as shit on Really Doe.

[@ONMY88SHiT]

That beat is ill.. Black Milk was definitely the hardest episode in this series so far

[@Nonsense913]

***** Woulda been real easy if the Herb Alpert record wasn't messed up. I have about 10 albums of his and they're all filled with good sounds. He pulled a rabbit out of the hat here though.

[@MunchinOnaTurnip]

touche

[@seandafny]

Beat Visions damn right u hip. and wtf? 10 albums nigga damn i aint even kno he had dat many I only heard 3.

[@Nonsense913]

Sean Dafny Yeah man, I live in Florida so I always find classic Latin artists vinyl all over the place when searching. There's always tons of Herb Alpert records wherever I go lol.

[@hiphopcdcollector]

Facts, and the erick sermon one

[@dylandelany7475]

One of the best beats from the series

[@SoundsbyIvory]

About to be a year later and no one has done a better rhythm roulette than this one right here. One day ill be on this show.

[@monteruntheplay9483]

+Tim Meadows this guy so savage at making beats

[@samuelj.s3955]

Nearly a decade now-- untouched.

[@Szaesys]

bro 8 years and bo one has come close fr. 9th Wonder’s was fantastic but the chops/flip here are ridiculous

[@ziggidzack]

I wonder if any of the producers have started making a beat and was like "wait, I wanna use this for a project... Imma make another one, erase that." Haha.

[@NIMMHATVRapBeats]

+Zack Corley xDDD

[@TheGreatMidgethero]

+Zack Corley lmao Just Blaze said he was gonna keep his beat

[@TheBlitzControl]

+Zack Corley sporting life's beat made it onto his solo album

[@yamch]

I think j-zone kept his beat...

[@xabtos]

+ragtime on 555? what song?

[@LiquidDIO]

Round of Applause is one of my fave Black Milk songs! THEM SNARES THOUGH!

[@TheNegcool]

me tooo!!!!

[@Ismail-ie5gi]

King microKorg! This is a close second behind Marco Polo. Really enjoy this dude's music. His production has evolved immensely over the years. Would love new Black & Brown and Random Axe LP's

[@kincamell2]

"NO POISON NO PARADISE" = MASTERPIECE

[@propjoe718]

He did his thing with the worst shit outta anyone so far. 9th wonders was still the best I've seen though

[@broadstbully97]

+Prop Joe nottz got the best now

[@sdubb504]

Just Blaze

[@Barrydavillain]

Watch Khrysis and Large Pro, they did their thing too.

[@TDott-vc7lj]

Peep that joint w/ Da Beatminerz too!

[@kulaxchannel3771]

Khrysis did it for me fam. No disrespek to 9th though

[@resonate3987]

A Black Milk & Busta Ryhmes album could work still!

[@NERDSoul]

Tell me about it

[@KTownProductions]

dope af

[@OverlorBeats]

I love these and Black Milk got it in considering what he picked my favorites are Marco Polo, Static Selekta and Black Milk !!

[@Parialated]

Wooooord 👍 agreed

[@HellfireBeats]

This is probably the best beat on RR!

[@GBraw73]

i agree

[@RillBeats]

You're right!

[@TheTruthValidated]

Static Selekta shut it down!! This is a close second considering the samples he used! Keep em coming Mass appeal!!

[@202pie]

#1 is El-p #2 Is Statik Selekta #3 is Black Milk

[@Ayplus]

The Marco Polo one is the nicest to me

[@dorianbeats]

that was smart...when he's digging..notice he feel's the texture of the album cover..the textures of albums changed from the 60 to the 70's...

[@babyzorilla]

Black Milk? Had to click because he was heavy in my rotation in the mid 2000s big respect

[@Lastman737]

I miss old Bill's Records. Rest in peace Bill

[@KinTuza]

This is by far the best one they got on the series.

[@Z1ng1s]

Give us Dj Muggs! That would be interesting. :)

[@ABJWiseAndStrong]

He KILLED that "Really Doe" beat off Atrocity Exhibition man. Salute 💯

[@aldali724]

That wasn’t Alchemist??

[@ABJWiseAndStrong]

@@aldali724 Nope, that was Black Milk all the way! Two Detroit Legends

[@hussle]

When I saw those holiday records I knew it was going to be a struggle. The fact he even made something is pretty impressive

[@redmanson98]

as soon as reunion started playing when the video started , man i started crying. great beat my black milk & r.i.p to j dilla & baatin

[@rudinrinearson3936]

Seen all of these. This dude. He takes the worst picks and makes the illest beat. Much respect Black Milk.

[@wiz_dropbomb2134]

Exactly did the most with the least.

[@nc86prod]

I'm just a nobody showing up over here a half decade later to say that this was a top episode. I loved it in Arkansas back then...and i still love it now

[@SoundsbyIvory]

Hands down the best Rhythm Roulette so far.

[@nderitupius]

One of the most fire rhythm roulettes for me. I always visit this video just to listen to his product in the end and try to sneak a freestyle too.

[@Trellwise757]

Of course Black had the best so far. Dude is too nice. Now I wanna see Oddisee and Apollo Brown.

[@samsevan]

the mpc 3000 sample engine is clean as hell

[@JortheReason]

Yup

[@MrScrooge1980]

All day

[@jonathansoko1085]

Mass appeal should put the producers equipment in the description for those that dont know

[@Bati_]

You should make video with Premo,Pete Rock,9th Wonder,Madlib,The Alchemist,Oddisee,J.Cole,,Boi-1da,Large Pro,Hi Tek,Jazzy Jeff and Kev Brown!Peace and greetings from Turkey!

[@dubLrhhkmg]

[@DBoy0113]

The art of sampling is beautiful

[@0206SVS]

He need one of them vinyl cleaners and de-warpers Cause that Herb Albert record was dope a-f

[@DrJabree]

Alpert*

[@seandafny]

My nigga Herb Alpert slept on im glad my bird got me hip. whipped cream was my shit

[@deltanine4492]

I was sleeping on herb for a min. He's the most sampled in my catalog now.

[@bronzkhrome4024]

Wow, I always admire BM for his orchestration of beats, be it stabs or loops, he can make a simple tune come alive. much props, bro

[@bgarry77]

What up Detroit!

[@purpdogg7741]

Wassup bro

[@817RazorHell]

By far, the best episode of Rhythm Roulette, yet.

[@sooperb]

Black fuckin Milk! Detroit,NC,Canada hip hop is that 90s golden era shit for real.

[@Theealterego]

Yup! He's one of the few rap artists that I listen to. None of that mainstream radio crap for me

[@sooperb]

+MacKenzie McDermott I hear you man.

[@randalllawkin]

+MacKenzie McDermott black milk definitely her jdilla in him still don't like none of this mainstream trash they all the same

[@SuperJhumps]

probably one of the dopest beats from this series maaaaaaaaannn

[@JayJayRealhiphop]

Oh yes, perfect episode wit a good guest. Get Thes One from (People Under The Stairs!!)

[@Lifeiis]

That would be ill!

[@JayJayRealhiphop]

and a few years later it was! Thank you Mass Appeal!!!

[@MOSHAEMUSIC]

I'm happy to finally see someone on Roulette use an MPC. Only other I've seen so far is Black Milk and Marco Polo Salute!

[@GameFace49er]

Always pumped when a new episode of Rhythm Roulette comes out!! Best Series on KZbin by far!!!

[@_kaushin1540]

We need an album with all of the Rhythm Roulette beats!

[@scribejungal3125]

there was a comment i heard a year ago, really put a smile in my face "When you making beats, but you gotta do your taxes at the same time"

[@montygrind]

Hip Hop we gotta give it up to our producers! Love the culture from day 1.

[@skip6978]

"This old ass Busta Rhymes joint"..😂😂

[@dupevision7937]

Best beat i heard on Rhythm Roulette so far..Black Milk is Dope!

[@mastahbex766]

We need Pete Rock on this!

[@broadstbully97]

And madlib

[@geordie2420]

And preem

[@el.bandito]

and alchemist

[@VisionoftheChief]

Premier, Premier, P-P-P-P Premier

[@mcsuchnsuch]

Kev Brown

[@Whunter22]

This is a great idea for a show. Whoever created this great job.

[@11219tt]

U know u actually blindfolded when you pull out classical or Xmas records lol

[@platinuuum]

Luv the face on these dudes when they first look at their pick. Tru Luv for Music.

[@conducttracks]

That's a clean studio, Enjoyable episode to watch, Keep it up Mass Appeal!

[@blackzinfidelz3561]

the most classic hit rap records came from sampling records everything from the chronic, illmatic,gangstarr,ready to die all of that classic shit came straight from sampling records,its so facinating

[@TrapShitProduction]

Please get Eric Arc Elliott on Rhythim Roulette !!

[@KaliBeatsYoSoyAquel]

Crazy how long it took them to get him on here

[@CK-ei5bm]

This dude made something out of old scratched records!! very talented brother!!

[@ap0th1k4ry]

Can't get enough of these... Great work, Black Milk!

[@Mardigraz718]

This is why Black Milk is shapin up to be one of the greats! Dude is nasty! And his live show is f'in bananas! NAT TURNER!!!!

[@DON-P]

I wouldn't mind watching the full beat making version of this, dope!

[@HeadMaster3K]

Wow. Just wow. Amazing beat!

[@randalllawkin]

man love all his albums

[@papaproduction]

love this series man keep em coming

[@KNuckleZification]

Probably my favorite beat from this series so far. Black Milk killed this...

[@mawdo_jallo]

A little J Dilla vibe in this beat

[@tgal164]

The best episode I've seen so far.

[@LucidSoundz]

anyone know what turntable that is?

[@agreatwhite]

Technics SL-1200

[@oyaje182]

The real Roulette episode. No pre-peeping before being blindfolded. Still a success. Salute Black Milk.

[@zshakur]

My Top 5 right now: 1. Nottz Raw 2. 9th Wonder 3. Black Milk 4. Apollo Brown 5. Big K.R.I.T.

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

9th Wonder is my favorite producer all time he definitely killed it. People sleepin on Mr. Green tho lol

[@mrpostman730]

I say Black Milk is number 1 cause he really didnt have shit. 9th and Nottz came into the series when they let them pick the albums they were gonna use.

[@zshakur]

mrpostman730 Yeah, but they didn't let 9th or Nottz pick their own records. The whole format of the show is to force beat makers to make something out of nothing. Look at 9th's again. he talks about the country record being a winner and so on. Nottz doesn't say anything about his selection but, everybody has to be blind folded. None of them have ever been able to choose their records.

[@MIGProductions1]

Hi tek?

[@wiz_dropbomb2134]

Still my favorite.

[@mohass2086]

You know this is a great series when on every episode the comments say "this is the best one yet"

[@cookiesajay]

this is like my 12th time watching this I just love to see the homie work

[@andrewscottgreer]

Is their a mixtape of all the rhythm roulette joints?

[@VicVegaTW]

This is really good. The beat reminds me of the reflection eternal in the journey of the journal track a bit.

[@wollsmoth7786]

yall need DOOM real bad, and i'd love to see Premier make a beat

[@llncm]

MF Doom isn't in America anymore

[@wollsmoth7786]

leonoflondon still

[@llncm]

FRED SMARTSTONE I don't know the full story, but I think he owes money; tax, child support etc.

[@PashmereCalace]

leonoflondon Nah, pretty sure it has to due with him not being a legit American Citizen and he was denied entry last time he tried to come to America

[@bruceleeds7988]

Preem has always state that he doesn't like to record his beatmaking process, him being on here is unlikely

[@xarxasopayaso]

Respect from Chile!!!

[@Enwhycee]

they should do one with apollo brown

[@Bluddyshadowhell]

If they can get apollo brown that shit would legendary

[@FredDub]

Agreed!

[@stephk9892]

They heard you!

[@bigleebrink]

Apollo's beat he makes is sick!

[@tinoxtreme]

You can tell Black Milk has a talent and passion for his craft. Loved his last ep and album. Keep up the great work.

[@ChadistheRad]

Shia Labeouf just dissed Soulja Boy to this beat. This year is wild 😂😂😭😭

[@kelvin88keyes]

I uses to love going to Bill's diggin thru records, it was huge! Black Milk's production is always dope!

[@XNOW716]

Love it! Just hate how they say "it could be better" when the beats be FIRE!!!

[@0spalsh0]

You're your own worst critic.

[@lw3257]

omar morgan true facts

[@analyzeyourfriendlyneighbo6349]

Song At 1:10 called "Shut It Down (instrumental)" off the album, "Popular Demand"

[@markbaker4337]

Cleanest studio I have seen on this series. Dope beat.

[@KoolKatBeatz]

Dilla + 3 random records = quite possibly an album, and im not even exaggerating.

[@gravy3858]

not to mention madlib lol. i think I remember in an interview him saying he’d sample the WHOLE record start to finish sometimes. those two just have a work ethic that can’t be topped

[@jaywilliams1861]

this man is a producing god.

[@IamELJohnson]

Hands down best one I've seen so far

[@1majn13]

9th Wonder!!!

[@FeastTheStoic]

This is the best Rhythm Roulette yet...

[@evidenz111]

Made a real banger with that

[@MrRihards09]

Most legendary rhythm roulette, don't @ me

[@xS3NTRYx]

This beat goes so hard. xD

[@doyoulikelofi2244]

Gets out the microkorg for that bassline! Thanks for the inspiration

[@solfinguz]

All that MUSIC, thats crazy I love it!

[@samthecardcollector]

It's insane how easy they make this look wow

[@Uchawibeatz]

The legacy of J Dee for Hip Hop in showcase damn
