[@Kendonezia]

I agree

[@marcoyanshui]

I really like his workflow. He started playing the drum at the beginning and at the same time play vinly then find vibes. Really inspired me.

[@jaemez3247]

I've never seen anyone do it like that. Most producers say "I like to add the drums to the melodies so they compliment the melodies." But this workflow give you that classic BOOM BAP Hip-Hop sound no matter what. You make the samples work around the beats. Dope insight.

[@stuntmanxtra3825]

LARGE PROFESSOR IS A MONSTER. THE WAY HE TOOK ALL 3 RECORDS TO MAKE ONE SICK BEAT, STRAIGHT WAR BEAT FOR REAL

[@I_be_e]

STUNTMAN XTRA beat episode by far! Extra P took all 3 records to make 1 banger!!! He didn’t need to add anything except drums. He chopped them records up like he was a Master Chef and created a work of art!!! That’s what up! That real Boom Bap from an legendary producer

[@MacLethal]

[@Peksisarvinen]

Definitely agree with you on most stuff, but technically, Serch is the one who gave Nas his start. At least from what I know. Edit: just checked the facts, and you're right, it was Large Pro. Serch came in just a little later.

Arguably one of the best. Years later and I'm still looking back at this. How do you put three records together like this! This is hip hop in it's purest form 🔥🔥🔥

[@makehumanitygreatagain8128]

LEGENDARY. It's a shame that these "old heads" are being shunned by the game. Utterly ridiculous levels of heat. The end result was a monstrosity. Makes me want to become a rapper, just so I can rhyme to this sort of production.

[@jahmaisofly]

@TruMusic89 Cos they wack thats why. And this is coming from a 17 years old

[@Surviv0rStudios]

JahmaiSoFly if ur seventeen and using whack to describe things your more of an old head than most seventeen year olds

[@tonystark6263]

The game is controlled now. It's not the same as before. Money controls the game now. Clearing all these samples is harder to do than to let a guy on fl studio create his own Halloween type beat.

[@bp2119]

it was absolutely perfect at 5:30 with the hints of the vocal chops and the guitar. The final product was cool but those added the extra spice.

[@jonathansaunders6697]

definitely was better with the vocal chops...also IMO most cats are too lazy with choppin perc elements from records and building new and intersting timbres for the rhythm track...jus relying on the drum packs you already like the sound of is too formulaic and limiting...that's why there is so much monotony, cause cats out the same camps all be using the same drum packs with proven and established record pedigree

+Tristan Nagan preme doesn't like anyone seeing his beat making process so I doubt it will happen

[@snowdjagha]

+Leakbros What he doesn't like is people seeing his samples.

[@SneekPeekTech]

Nahhh.... various people have stated in interviews that preme doesn't like people watching him in the studio. There was one interview with statik selektah and he was saying how preme wouldn't let anyone but the rappers in because he doesn't want people seeing his production techniques.I think anyone who has their own unique style wants to keep it a secret so all the basement producers don't ruin it. Same reason you can't find any videos of dilla making beats.

[@tristannagan8690]

+Leakbros but you can see a little of preemo producing in the Classic video... and you can find a few videos of him doing some cuts on records... His style is amazing but it's not exactly that much of a secret... The only thing you cannot replicate from Premier is his genius and his timing when it comes to laying down drum patterns... but you can make a replica of a preemo track... it's more the vision that you can't really replicate

[@Seeckay]

+Tristan Nagan His vision is really what makes him special. The "Mass Appeal" sample, still one of the craziest shit i've heard

[@DivineSovereignSoul]

Just having Large Pro was dope enough already but Tragedy Khadafi coming in with that freestyle... Whoo! This is straight up classic material!

[@VAHZGEN]

Large Pro' should be getting WAY MORE RESPECT from the hip hop community as a whole. The skill, years of life, beat resume and dedication this man has put in deserves nothing but respect. From the beginning and still bringing that raw NY shit. Hat tip from LA
