Metro is from my generation. That’s how most of our generation started making beats. The cracked version of FL Studio was king. It was all about trial & error.

[@Sylvillian]

exactly! started producing from trial and error

[@NotebookLives]

“Work It” having only 3 sounds is absolutely insane. That just changed my entire perspective as a producer. This is why you have to watch the GOATs when they do interviews. The gems are endless.

[@Maliquejones9365]

11:12 His ability to create and mimic rhythms with his mouth is INSANE, it's one thing to approximate, but he got the tone of the kick drum and the sound of the hi hats in "I Just Want to Love You" exactly as they sound on the record.

[@davesnothear]

He beatboxed on a majority of those records…I have a dope some Timbo Drum Kits

I was trying to figure that track out lol I knew I was close but thanks for this comment

Its dope to see how two goats from different generations can vibe out and share there passion for music, even though there sounds are completely different they both picking ups gems from one another 🔥

[@IceKoldKilla]

Man, I grew up as a kid in the late 90s and I remember at some point music just clicked for me. As a listener, I remember being broke but my mom had an old station wagon with some shitty radio. I cherished every time a dope hip-hop song came on. I'd take control of the radio. And man, I know Timbaland and Pharrell stood out. I knew what I liked but I wouldn't always know names until I realized I had to pay attention to the radio hosts announcing who it was. This was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It got to a point that I now had names and my neighbor, where we eventually moved, had better Internet than us and a better PC. He was older but showed me how he downloaded music on Napster and then Kazaa. I asked him to burn me some CDs, which he eventually did. I worshipped those CDs. I started learning from the internet what album names were or if I went to a store, I'd look around. Back then they had a huge CD section. I'd go through it. Missy Elliott became a go-to. Eminem was huge too eventually by 2000. Justin Timberlake eventually with Timbaland and Pharrell helping producing his albums. Especially Timbo. Mystikal, Jay-Z were others that stood out. But what blew my mind was later, we left the US and an uncle had us move to France from spending a year in Colombia where my family is from. There, a library had a music section. I could take CDs home for free. Case and all. I had to return it every week. I'd take like 3 at a time. I started learning about so many more artists! It expanded my horizons. I liked some rock and metal but there I got into so much more. And rappers too! But then I learned about producers and I learned Timbaland and The Neptunes made so many of my favorite songs! I started taking home all the albums I could find. And I asked the girl there. She knew a lot about music in general. And then faster internet was a thing. And man did I spend hours on Wikipedia reading anything and everything. Who's connected to who, and where from, how, what year, names of albums. Maaaan, even being broke there, I downloaded albums. But it leas me to value it so much and understand they deserves my money. When I started getting money, I made it my goal to buy everything I ever wanted and new stuff too. I still collect CDs to this day and especially now that streaming underpays my favorite artists and bands.

[@SonOfDaDragon]
