Rhythm Roulette: The 45 King | Mass Appeal

[@inyerd123]

not the best one but probably the funniest

[@chuckturnher4986]

Peace King... Still tryin to get that LaKim Shabazz (KnG) track... outta my head Fam... Keep doin it FAM... Don't know if you ever met Jay (James, JayDee, Dilla) but... You were one of that katz favorite Producers and mine as well... Real talk... Keep doin ya thing FAM... NUFF RESPECT TO THE SOUNBOI 45-KING! ;D

[@tomriddle4011]

Cringe. You know why. We ALL know why.

[@Diddddu]

I'm gonna say it's the best because of his legendary status this is a guy that looped from reel to reels making classics shit that can only mean that the shit we have these days is like a senior citizen card for him all do respect he can use this stuff with his eyes closed got to be to easy for guys like this.He used all the records creatively and only would of had to clear like one sample.He gave us some game with this one can't really say you learned something from the other ones.

came here to say this

[@yamch]

"Don't buy this record!"....I'd pay for a 45 King podcast.

[@Nigmatics]

He's got a KZbin show called "making the beat" where he has guests and pretty much does exactly what you stated. Talks shit with dope beats in the background lol.

45 king just wobbled a record, bent it and said he sampled it like a boss 😂

[@SleepFan771]

"But I used the record, right?!" I laughed so damn hard. One of the best for sure. RR on a great roll lately.

[@MusicByDarcy]

That was an epic part.

[@fredicagoillanoise1309]

I've always wondered what controller and program did you use in that Rhythm Roulette. By the way, the funniest, most entertaining one to date. Peace legend!

[@nic3939]

@@fredicagoillanoise1309 I'm pretty sure he uses an earlier version of Apple Logic, and for the controller a Korg Nanokey or something similar.

[@koollee]

Maan u did excellent on this show. Didnt u make Princess of the posse track for Queen Latifah back n the day?

[@djrakman3909]

you did better than everyones overproduced stuff king

[@mictv4president]

I come back to this video every year. 45 King is truly a next level genius.

[@TuMalditaMadre]

Those of you complaining are missing the point. He could've grabbed Funky Drummer or Impeach The President and done the same thing. He was making something hot out of pure shit. Anyone can make a hot beat off of a fire sample. Try to make a hot beat with shit samples. Not just anyone can do that.

[@ProdbyGrimeyred]

exactly

[@stanthebeatsmith]

couldnt have said it any better than that

[@TampaRedd]

Pretty much, he just made chicken salad, out of chicken shyt! #skills

[@daduragbandit8023]

you gotta point... and thats real as hell... but when you see someone like 9th Wonder make a dope ass beat using a Charlie McClain sample then you have to beg to differ a little... still respect to The 45 King tho

[@MCTranscendent]

Outside the box from what we normally see. Love it.

[@CrassZorro]

It's interesting to watch the carefree approach he has to putting this together. It makes younger producers look uptight and too trapped in their own self-image. His inventiveness also reminds me of Lee Scratch Perry's early experiments in Dub.

[@mosscarpetart]

no cap this vid made it sink in for me how much overthinking ive been doing with my producing

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

Yes it's a reflection of not working in the box for sure - it shows the real artist who doesn't have restrictions and can utilize the things in front of them for their craft expression. :)

This guy rules! He literally made his own beats from scratch. He is by far the best beat maker you've had on this series.

[@terucks]

45 was special! I liked him because he stayed in his own lane. He was like the Vince Guaraldi of hip hop; very animated and creative. Had a great ear for music and sounds

[@fairplayterrific147]

[@CONTH]

That was creativity like a mutha! One of the best by far I've ever seen on here. Be creative, use you imagination it takes you further.

Probably the best Rhythm Roulette I've seen so far. Dam, 45 King is the man. Creativity is a must. We need that back in the game again. Brass Tracks is second best.

[@kazzythegypsy_3.0]

agreed

[@chuckturnher4986]

Facts but... There are so many lackey's who are too lazy to even go to a record store and DITC... let alone, have the patience to sift through a record so old... If you noticed... Sample-based Producers (at least the better ones) have been giving fewer tips, cheats and SAMPLES... The serious Producers need to, get into the records and the samples and... find their OWN HEAT... but you know... STAY UP.

[@5uckets348]

[@prodbyconscious]

Hopefully the 45 King will get the message. The innovation in that video is incredible, thats a true genius. Able to create something from nothing, those of us who love real hip hop will recognise and praise stuff like this. I aspire to have the same experience and innovation in my production eventually.

[@prodbyconscious]

Plus I'm listening to his beats on spotify right now and its more than clear he could have went in and created a crazy hip hop beat using regular sampling methods but he changed it up

[@coreybeats3335]

True legend , 45 is the man ! just peep his catalog an credits

[@robraps3128]

Easily the most hip hop episode ever. Watching this legend just say ‘phuck it’ and make a beat in the style he did.....real as phuck.

Respect to the OG! He still got it!!

[@SurgeCess]

It's a pleasure witnessing this man at work.

[@jakewelty]

I got so hype when he whipped out that Weather Report record bc I own that one and I wanted to see what he could cook up with it. Then he just wobbles it into a voice memo... wondering if I've been using it wrong this whole time.

RIP. Hadta watch it again today. 🙏🏿

[@JulianWyllie]

[@kennydust]

Interesting reading these comments. Thing is what we've seen here is the essence of hip-hop-not just 'rap music'. That was creative and fun, two things a lot of the 'they didn't flip it enough' gang always overlook and will always be worse off for it. I've sat through so much of that shit over the years and while I can appreciate it technically it doesn't make me involuntarily nod my head or make me wanna freestyle. I can easily imagine riding in the car with the crew freestyling to this-the rappers AND the non-rappers-cos it's all about the vibe. Get your head out your asses people and have some fun with it. The best shit usually comes out of that. Big up Mark the 45 King!

[@o0GreedyG0o]

15 dislikes on this as of now... wtf? Go and check this man's back catalogue, and pay your dues. One of the best sounds of the late 80s and early 90s, and many hits since. Latee, Lakim Shabazz, plenty of other shit on Wild Pitch, Lost Breaks albums; jewels everywhere.
