Rhythm Roulette: Chuck Inglish | Mass Appeal

"I lucked up," said Chuck Inglish, surveying his haul from Good Records in NYC. "I can't believe I was blindfolded!" Guided by unseen forces, the production specialist of rap duo The Cool Kids selected "a classic classic classic record" Roy Ayers' Ubiquity as well as Tuff City Squad's 1992 'Beats for Jeeps' and 'Last Exit' by Traffic. His partner in rhyme Sir Michael Rocks stopped by the record shop to wish him well then it was up to Chuck to hit the studio and do the damn thing. Chuck's biggest challenge may have been the fact that the Roy Ayers joint has been used so many times before. "I'ma try to flip it in a different way," said Chuck, strategizing over his vinyl resources. "We'll use the textures from this…. I'm gonna try to find the drums from this… extra effects from this." Getting creative with the slider and the stylus, Chuck sampled some ill loops and pieced them all together in his own inimitable fashion, adding some keys over top just to sweeten the pot. "This was the find," he said afterwords, holding up the record by Tuff City Squad, who he hadn't heard of before. "This is the spirit of why Rhythm Roulette is so cool to me… To pick this out blindfolded is crazy." Check out a master at work right now.

[@BianicEpicVideos]

He made a beat all out of samples and it sounds completely different than what he sampled. If you're a producer then you have to respect it.

[@TheDiamondShoppeBeats]

And all in key too...

[@marvkrown]

lol FACTS

[@stevewalters4773]

naw bro just doing work doesn't warrant respect. only doing good work should get respect. he didn't do a good job.

[@mibbzx1493]

Thats pretty tough to do honestly

[@geordie2420]

Steve Walters that's so subjective, just because you dont think he did a good job doesn't mean he didn't do a good job. if this is your attitude then you have no place to talk about respect

[@Phototrappeur]

This guy inspired a whole generation of beat makers and producers.

[@user-bf9bj1pm5x]

Not really

[@massappeal]

Big shout out to Chuck Inglish for playing Rhythm Roulette with us. What’s your favorite Chuck production?

[@mflugo9082]

Mass Appeal Fromdatombs!

[@kylepetreycik]

"Black Mags"

[@highend.7391]

FAT RAPS - Chip tha Ripper

[@swaggmeout917]

Chuck Inglish Has such an Authentic style. His production is so Uniquely himself.

[@SiincereARC]

So of ya'll must have musical blinders on. This dude flipped a none sample in a way that IVE NEVER HEARD it flipped. Then layed a drum sample that fit perfectly with the Roy Ayers sample. Also, if I'm not mistaken, he took the Traffic sample and brought it down to it's note and dragged out the sample, then did what dilla would've did and just play the sample in the keyboard. I'm sure with the right lyrics and chorus, the song would be an amazing chuck inglish beat. I know for a fact, if dilla was alive he would've been upset that he didn't flip those samples the same way considering he makes funk beats in the same way (midwest sound). Maybe someone was waiting for a trap beat or something.

[@khoikidd]

I agree man he managed to put those 3 record together to make a beat while some just looped a sample and add some 808 on top of it.

[@jacquesdevos6817]

"Maybe someone was waiting for a trap beat or something" ahahaha. Sums up most mainstream rap in 2018, let's be real.

[@CaptainThrowed]

Spot on Mike

[@saulgoodman237]

Very well said Mike.

[@ohsureibelieveyou2916]

I used the same method on samples back in the day. A friend gifted me an Ensoniq EPS Classic 8 and I use to just sample notes and play my own melodies and chords. I was blessed to start learning using Mackie 24 track, 3 ADATS, MPC 3000, and Roland JV-1080 & 2080 (fully expanded). So when it came time to use less equipment I had already grown accustomed to playing everything. With such limited tracks and memory you had to conserve your sample time. I would just sample notes, use polyphony and create main instrument parts with 5 tracks and then the drums with 3 tracks and the 1 or 2 song tracks. (OG's know about flippin the song tracks Lol)

[@612MOB]

Y’all need to stop hating, shit was dope. Cool Kids crazy underrated.

[@810austin]

Never even thought about having Chuck on here, thanks Mass Appeal.

[@diamondwest35]

He landed on his feet with these records! He must have hovered around the right sections of the store! But I like what he did with it. Sounded like good old school hip hop!

[@alecfergusonNineD3]

One of the best ones, they rarely use all 3 records in 1 beat. Which I thought originally was the idea haha

[@steelokey]

Same lol.

[@MaaaNFooo]

Chuck is always rapping. Shout out sir Michael rocks!

[@MaaaNFooo]

That drum flip is dope though!

[@kurtrichardson2514]

Lets Go /Get It

[@proned2stoned]

So he sampled Mark the 45 king, who was on rhthym roulette. Got to be a first?

[@UrbanJournal]

Inception

[@henry_brown]

yoooooo that's crazy

[@FurredTurgeson]

Was just gonna say!

[@nicholausbernardini20]

Glad someone pointed out The Tuff city jawn was the 45king

[@jaemez3247]

Either you know or you dont.

[@cam1045]

please do kaytranada

[@leafbudi]

Karmaa that would end the series lol

[@TheOpportunityForChange]

Maybe I’ve been outta touch but these guys were huge when I️ was in high school!

[@CoolGreySoul]

This is one of the best Rhythm Roulettes besides Big KRIT, Cookin Soul, and 9th Wonder

[@Tamaramariah]

facts, Larry Fishermans and Oh No was dope as well.

[@falsedilimma]

Man. The Cool Kids was one of my first introductions to hip hop. Jump Down by Travis Barker was one of the illest beats and flows I’ve ever heard!!

[@steelokey]

Dream collab right here luv these guys, Mac Miller put me on to them like 8-9 years ago actually

[@01solt3k]

“We made this in the kitchen, not bull shittin we really made this in the kitchen..” one of his illest beats on that track.

[@b33lz]

Am I the only one who felt like he didn't do shit...

[@wmcroy3306]

b33lz Lol it don't take that much to make an beat, even some of the trap producers make simple shit and take them 5 to 10 mins, while someone like Premo, Dilla, Nottz and Kanye really take their time with the art

[@ObservationalRhetoric]

b33lz Simplicity is sometimes best. That what Rick Rubin is known for. But I dig what you mean.

[@cjb41285]

What he did took real sampling skills. Most producers just take a loop from the record and throw some drums and an 808 on it. He literally sampled every record, and every sound he used came from the records.

[@andgar923]

Not only did he sample every record, he manipulated it's sound to make it fit. The beat was 'meh' but I respect the technique.

[@TheDiamondShoppeBeats]

He sampled from all records and made it one beat all in the same matching key. That takes some skill. More about how he did the beat versus how it sounded. Still sounded cool too....

[@Bussahshot]

never clicked on a video faster than this in my life

[@N3rdNo1Nos]

Yoooo the Cool Kids!!! In the house!! "Clap...Clap,Bass, Bass!"

[@oldmanstrength8841]

Damn, my man flipped the hell outta that Roy Ayers....NICE!

[@jeplarson6519]

Hell yeah super sick. Love the cool kids. Some of the most creative and fun beats out there

[@snowdjagha]

Finally an episode worth watching! This shit right here is a fucking flip!

[@ilovecody7514]

Chuck and Michael Rocks birthed a lot of these new school rappers.

[@eduardoxochimitl4818]

Might have been short, but Chuck knew what he was doing to fit three samples into one song. If no one considers that to be imaginative, then you either have higher expectations or lower expectations of what creativity really is.

[@Mykekelli]

Studio is clean af

[@bryanpanamera]

You should have that Gang Starr Mass Appeal for your intro. That would be tight for your channel.

[@-ziiin-]

Holy Wrath!! I didn't make much of the "Chuck Inglish" name for days... and today I finally decide to play the video and it happens to be the producers for one of my fav joints! Kool Kids - Black Magz

[@mentholwavecap]

Aye yo Chuck! A future "Classic Rhythm Roulette"

[@BlowWord.]

I haven't even watched this yet & it made my WEEK! Chuck , you my fucking inspiration bro

[@guillaumecarteret1642]

[@MrEBRAD777]

[@kevinbruyne]

[@khoikidd]

I don't understand why some of yall are saying that it was wack, he flipped nicely that roy ayers sample and add drums and melody from them other records, that's not an easy task and the final result is nice

[@y2kisfun]

[@bobbiejohnson4607]

[@beatsbykana]

ok that keyboard is sick fr

[@deadtibetrecords7690]

What monitors were those? The housing was crazy. Love the look of em

[@blackguyincali]

Good one. He made it look easy.

[@DOUG-E-BEATZ]

Chuck English is dope. However, he said he wasn't going to just play over the samples, and that's exactly wtf he did lol

[@UrbanJournal]

MrDIGITALNOIZE 😂😂

[@kthadonmusic]

He played over two samples wit keys sampled from the last one tho...

[@DOUG-E-BEATZ]

K D I apologize. When someone says that they're going to use the drums and sounds from a record, I don't take it literally. I naturally think they're going to chop each snare, kick, hi hat from a loop that they've already chopped from the sample to create their own drum sequence. Then chop, manipulate, and rearrange the melodic instruments into something completely different. Beef up the drum chops, whether layered, or using compression amongst other effects. Then I'd physically add my own paint on the canvas I made.

[@In4mous1]

Play Over the Sample Is When You Put Your Own Drums And Sounds To A Sample And he Didn't Do That.... He Played The Sample Into A Beat That Made The Sample Sound Completely Different

[@TheClockblocker]

In4mous1 This guy gets it

[@CaptainThrowed]

This is funky

[@KosyneMusic]

Not bad......guys please go pay Dibiase a visit!! He'll make some magic!

[@thebrokenhomes]

beatsbykos real talk

[@lorddirt5532]

He’s the reason I started making beats

[@soulsuccess]

5:21 when you trying to hold back that nut and still beat it out the frame.

[@kyxmadison8481]

wow that was dope

[@blancopop7845]

Where’s the rest of the footage????

[@adcommit]

You guys been getting lazy with the editing You guys barely show the process, everything feels rushed and you barely let the beat rock at the end The past few episodes have not been that good

[@ensofit21]

💯 💯

[@DL-1]

Nice groove.

[@corywilliams458]

Awesome Beat!....WHAT UP DOE!!!...313 BABY!!..Puritan Ave!!..P.A.

[@ReelMuzikFein]

One of the best songs I ever recorded was over a chuck English beat.

[@LimCoolie89]

SO DOPE

[@CK-ei5bm]

Is it just me or does Chuck Inglish!! remind you of Maurice-Jones Drew of the Jaguars in the way that he looks and has the same voice!! But this is a very talented producer!! Just thinking out loud!!

[@bluerobe918]

I'm glad the youngster admitted he didn't know who the Tuff City Squad was instead of immediately just being a jerk about some old school hip hop. I know about them cuz I'm old LOL

[@TheFreshPate]
