Rhythm Roulette: Scoop Deville

For the latest installment of Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal presents Scoop DeVille to chop up some random records and conjure fire. DeVille’s credits mostly reside on the West Coast with old and new school artists, including Kendrick Lamar’s “Poetic Justice” and “The Recipe,” and Snoop Dogg’s “I Wanna Rock” ft. Jay-Z. But, dude gets down on the East as well, working with Fat Joe, 50 Cent, and Tony Yayo. We caught up with him in New Jersey as he thumbed through the crates at Scotty’s Record Shop, picked three random joints, sparked some herb, and flipped the records in the stu.
DeVille was no doubt influenced by Dre and how he repurposed P-Funk growing up in Los Angeles, but dude can seemingly reimagine whatever. He flips the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody,” precisely chopping the hook. Pat Swayze was probably dirty dancing in his grave to that joint. Then he laces Aztec Two Step’s twangy folk guitars with quick hi-hats and bass drums, which will loosen your license plate holder from the trunk rattle, before layering with vocal samples from his library. If that Aztec beat ends up on somebody’s project in the near future, it would not be a surprise. It’s a shame he didn’t get a chance to work with James Taylor’s brand of blues-y folk rock. It seems like just a few clicks from DeVille and fire come through the speakers.

[@christophercorona4285]

finally the old format. that sprite shit was WACK

[@thegenerationmax123]

+Christopher Corona No lie they tried tho

[@jeffwerner9876]

+Christopher Corona Yea i respect that they listened to us viewers and did away with the bullshit... Something most companies dont do these days

[@ONMY88SHiT]

The Sprite thing was temporary all along.. it was only supposed to be 3 episodes anyway. And there have already been a couple episodes since so why is it still being mentioned?

[@DJTrickiMusic]

+2

[@ThatGuy1242]

We want to see Alchemist on here.

[@jerzwhite4548]

Scoop is super talented and one of the few new school producers that actually samples and makes his beats more hip hop than trap styled

[@nodoze123]

STILL, even 8 years later, one of my favorite sessions to peep. Salute Scoop!

[@soldier1026]

OMG the Beastie Boys addition was genius.

[@poet215]

Rhythm Roulette redeemed itself. Now bring on Dat Nigga Daz...

[@KudosCultureCartel]

Yes fuck yes

[@i3sm3]

agreed!

[@kingyattaaesop-shakur8691]

Dat nigga daz a monsta! Afta dat DK quick and or Kidd Capri...classic shit son

[@PSICK1234ikillallracistrolls]

They ain't ready to see what Daz will do with samples....They ain't ready. Listen to " I don't like to dream about getting paid " or most of them Chronic beats....

[@KidCooties]

Man, a lot of you dissing Sprite Corner without giving any reason! C'mon now. Here's why Sprite Corner did NOT work for us subscribers: The producers were placed with an audience and forced to make a beat by sampling. There can't be two audiences (us and those at the Sprite Corner). It's so much better with producers in their own work space with friends they know... Placing an audience behind (or in front) of producers just deteriorates authenticity and for all we know the producers feel some pressure. Thanks for taking Rhythm Roulette back to its root, MassAppeal. Salute!

[@ShivaRainchild]

Damn he got like the best selection you could possibly get..

[@grumblekin]

No joke my cat could have made a fire beat out of them records. She mostly does trap shit, though

[@iAmKidKiNG]

grumblekin underrated comment ^^

[@erickevans5625]

See how cool he was when he appeared on his dad's "La Raza" music video when he still a kid. Now he become a great producer goddamn!

[@TheLosingLASER]

oh my GOD. the 2nd beat? with that Beastie Boys sample at the end? 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 GENIUS.

[@tjmixmasta]

That Aztec Two Step joint was HARD

[@DJPETE281]

Been jamming this dudes shit for a while but never knew until now his pops is Kid Frost haha

[@christiandinhopasillas9163]

That first beat gave me high cholesterol and diabetes it was so damn soulful

[@joeystett]

Nice to see someone in these videos actually listen/enjoy the records they are scanning for samples.

[@x_july_o]

damn this dude complemented every sample with just the right beat! he's dope asf

[@elcompadre503]

This Was sick, but wish they would have shown more of the process.

[@ExclusiveAnt]

[@scnupe7]

+El Compadre Yeah man....way too short! 7 min is nowhere near enough

[@5002seven]

Agreed. But, one the bright side, I'll be one of many to reiterate, at least Sprite Corner is gone.

[@DaLilMobsta]

+Kobe Jackson THANK GOD IT IS GONE!

[@Rmacon4002]

there's nothing to show he's just clicking on a laptop

[@rolandfrohmaniii9396]

whewwwww the bounce on that second beat was nasty!

[@mattneutrxn3313]

This forever a classic 🔥

[@Quronik804]

Excellent work! one of my favorite episodes! Glad mass appeal came back to the original in studio vibe.

[@CJflames]

[@RealityChecc1]

I seen that Scoop did in fact release beat tape titled "XVII" after he made these two beats, but neither was on the tape. I was especially hoping to hear that second joint in its entirety (fire). Does anyone know if he ever released that beat/song? That Beastie Boys' sample was the icing on the cake for me.

[@QaponeDedosSucios]

the second beat is sick

[@karengrundle3230]

Last beat killed me

[@PaddiesDesigns]
