Rhythm Roulette: Just Blaze (Live From The Sprite Corner)

In this episode of a Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal presents Just Blaze. Fans of music production know Just Blaze for his numerous accolades and contributions to various genres. However, we bet they didn't know Just can create album-worthy joints on the fly. After listening through three randomly selected records and deciding only one of them was good enough to use, Just began to create a soulful and hard-hitting beat with sped-up choir vocals weaving in and out of the track. In the end, he thought the beat sounded so good he wanted to dip from The Sprite Corner to finish it up at his studio.

@UnFocuzed Fiction is that good or bad?

[@erlendschjetne7394]

I found the record that Just Blaze played from the one-minute mark! Its The White Brothers with the record "The Way of Life" Some of the tracks he played from this record were "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power" from 01:20 and "The Way of Life!" from 01:07 The record was published by Savoy Records , as many of you allready knew from seeing the video. Sheesh, this took many hours of musical rearch, but it was definitely worth it! upvote this to make this info visible to other keen listeners.

my FAVORITE Rhythm Roulette in awhile! knew Just Blaze would kill it. sucks that the partnership with Sprite includes SO much censorship though. can't even tell what records they're using, etc anymore.

[@KraziAzian]

I know, it really took the soul out of the show. The guests gotta really censor themselves too. I liked seeing the producers in their house without a crowd creepily looking over their shoulders.

When I first heard this sample . With the beat and how he chopped with the singing /talking melody . I immediately thought Roc-a-Fella . I could hear beans/jay on this.

[@tadiwa2k11]

Not only am i impressed with the beat he made but the fact he did it live in front on an audience makes it even better.

[@beatz04]

Too short and seems some producers feel kinda uneasy or a bit pressured because of the live audience.Prefer to watch producers in their personal studio zone with no time restraints.

[@lavontedavis6647]

[@babooshot]

yeah but lets be honest,just blaze stays in his lane as u can see to soul samples.Alc will go for the sample that everyone skips and make it bananas because he is more experimental but in the end of the day u can't compare em music wise they are one of the most consistent producers & beatmakers in our generation

sometimes u can make a beat in 2 minutes or 2 hrs depends on the detail and watchu goin for in it. sometimes u know u need certain sounds and certain instruments panned to the left and or right about levels it depends honestly but its not an easy task period.

[@OZORIAMEDIA]

Whomever (@Adam Magrath corrected my grammar, it’s actually WHOEVER) made the decision to drastically alter the format, has/had no clue what made this series so popular, The end result and beat making process was only part of it. Every Producer/beat maker, structures his studio to fit his need, and utilizes it as an instrument itself. Part of the fun was seeing the unique equipment setup, within a particular Producers studio and how he implimented his gear...This feels sanitized, the set, the audience, takes away from seeing the various unique set ups..
