That "Momma Can You Hear Me" Sample! 🔥🔥🔥

[@grimeyneedle1527]

shitz had me dissapointed he didnt flip that

[@KrisCashMusic]

@@grimeyneedle1527 Word! Me Too!

[@dareason7581]

I honestly thought he was going to actually used the part that says "Momma can you head me!" and just loop with as a vocal sample! ima kinda shocked that he didn't!

[@gooserich3970]

Kanye would have killed that sample

[@cutthroatsawnson9324]

Solomon Childs used that sample

[@Liu_Baang]

Still looking forward to seeing Pete Rock, Premo, Alchemist and Madlib. Record chopping legends.

[@-Osiris-]

Those are all quite secretive people, we'll never get episodes out of them

[@Kicksareus919]

^^

[@beatsbyloony419]

Can’t wait

[@MrTobiasnilsson87]

there is a video somewhere of alchemist making a beat with his asr-10

[@rizednb]

that would be so dope!! my all-time favorite producers listed up there

[@R.G.777.]

As someone that makes little beats in my spare time, watching Capri effortlessly banging out them drums was both inspiring and emasculating at the same time

[@ruffprophetproductions]

I know what you mean about emasculating, but I think a better way of describing it was just being in the presence of greatness, a humbling moreso. You still got ya essence as a man you just know where you are.

[@antoinebailousii]

🤣🤣🤣 Exactly

[@michaeldadon7294]

pause

[@thainitiated5025]

😂😂😂😂

[@manden7510]

Def fire and I know he had to play with the sounds he had but I gotta think he's made a similar pattern before with different drums. If not even more impressive, either way its def super dope.

[@JDiggiti]

Soon as Mass Appeal left his spot .. that 2nd Barry Manilow sample got FLIPPED . Legendary Episode from a Hip Hop Legend

[@Quazey8]

I was thinking the same thing lol. Hes gonna have some personal time with that sample lol

[@dopesnare]

Ok that sample and flip was dope. I am most impressed by his natural groove laying those drums! ON POINT! Phew!

[@fatbackfunk]

Absofuckinglutely, THAT (his natural groove) is definitely one of the standout aspects of what he brings and brought to the table here. It's the key element that makes and made ALL the difference and sets someone like him apart from the rest IMO. Right outta the gate, the moment he started playing em', it was instant deep pocket head bob!!! And again, keyword here, "natural"..

[@jayoli7073]

He is also a drummer

[@modulationmusiclibrary]

When Kid Capri smiles when he finds a dope sample, you just feel it!! Props to the legend.

[@KidCapriOfficial]

salute

[@GabeSerrano]

Best Rhythm Roulette in quite some time. Although I was really hoping he'd use something from all 3 records on one track. I miss the when they used to do that.

[@MSNGR415]

That’s the real definition of rhythm roulette, otherwise it’s just production … I just got 200 used records from my local shop for $10. Rnb,soul,country,orchestral,soundtracks,rock from the 50’s through the 70’s and some progressive trippy stuff……. I’m doing just that. Three blind choices, everything in the beat needs to be from all three records….. even if it’s just a stab. I love making fully original non sampled beats but when it’s sample based I like to do it the old way… it’s way more fun and sharpens your skills.

[@blakghost2023]

This is why he's a legend. Major salute

[@Cgny]

The Kid still got it

[@blakghost2023]

@DJ THINK realdjthink true true

[@s.m.i.t.2207]

His drumwork is outstanding!

[@skinkwondoe]

This beat is definitely top 5 of Rythme Roulette so far.

[@AmazingJayB51]

Top5 off his personality alone!

[@lassorb4752]

Top 10 maybe, not 5 sorry….

[@lassorb4752]

9th wonder Hi-Tek Dj Khalil Beat Butcha Nottz Large Professor Ski beatz The 2 semi autistic guys (take a daytrip) A$AP dude Kid Capri

[@beatsbyloony419]

You buggin 😂

[@shasevere]

9th wonder araabmuzik and ski probably were my favorite beats up here honestly.. this was fire tho. Kid capri dont get enuff credit as a producer either.. I'm more into the actual techniques these guys are using than the actual finished product most of the time. But beatwise those were probably my top 5

[@Sispex]

OK, 3 important things to note: - He actually had a 1210 to sample off, not a last minute, I need some form of record playing device, $40 WallMart purchase! - He actually chopped the sample apposed to simply looping and adding some effects. - He knew all the artists on the records! I know thats not a major achievement as these were not obscure records BUT 2 words, Donny Hathaway!!!!! Salute to the legend Kid Capri. You did the format (and Barry) proud!

[@JP-dv7rf]

Oi when are you going to make some more videos?

[@DaCashRap]

@@JP-dv7rf he's busy typing KZbin comments

[@jaykay360]

@Mass Appeal it's time to let the British gawd @SiSpex on a Mass Appeal episode. Take the show international. The streets want it!

[@Sispex]

@@JP-dv7rf Have been tempted to do a new RR. Maybe in the new year.

[@Sispex]

@@jaykay360 Would love the opportunity to do an official one! Especially as my first ever official release was the UK remix of Nas's Ain't hard to tell! I'm ready and willing if anyone from@Mass Appeal wants to get in touch!

[@ronnieholliday7750]

That beat was hard!! Kid Kapri is a black belt at this!! Bring these kinda beat and rhymes back please 🙏

[@jarellbrown6974]

I agree cause we need that grimy boom bap style to comeback to hip hop with classic soul samples just like how Pete rock, Prince Paul, Large professor, and so many other producers that made that style what it is today.

[@enemyone]

very cool! 🫡

No it really did because when the song/sample/beat/chop whatever music stops playing you want to hear it again. That's ART! Salute and thank you for everything! ​ @Kid Capri

The full set of skills on display right here. I'd love to hear this man work on the other two records, but he took the hard way and produced fire.

[@kingdan6776]

If ANYTHING, it just goes to show. You NEVER know what another artist may have. Barry gots some FIRE on that album.

[@brandanevans7403]

finally, another respected producer... we need more!!

This was dope! Capris' production skills are slept on. He even produced "5 Fingers of Death" for Diamond D. You have to be crazy nice to produce for a great producer!

listen to capris new album called 'the love'

Listening to 5 Fingers of Death right now and all i can say is that if you didn't know it was a kid capri joint you would think its a showbiz joint, sounds so like show production

You see the difference in a real Dj approach?
