Sampling Gospel Records for Hard Beats // Making a Beat from Scratch on the MPC One

Let’s make a hype beat by sampling Gospel records on the MPC One! You don’t always need soul or jazz samples to make hip hop. Sometimes you will get incredible results when you branch out and start sampling from other genres. I started sampling Gospel records a while ago, and it has led to some of my best beats!
For this beat I used the MPC ONE as the standalone tool to flip the sample, lay down drums, and sequence the bass.
I hope you enjoy the Gospel sample based beat, and I hope the video provides some inspiration for your own production. I will be in the comments, so let me know if you want to see more videos like this one! What genre should I sample next?!

some Apollo brown shit right there 🔥💯👌

[@henrikpersson4698]

No-one teaches and makes me want to create at the same time quite like you. Thanks man

[@tpro4853]

Not a sin was had lol. Gospel records are hidden gems fa sho. My first beattape was a gospel boom bap themed album. There are many cuts to be found, and even the occasional break or fill (that's super rare though). Dope beat too 🔥

[@synthient436]

You deserve a ton more subscribers man. I just found you earlier today and your videos are super well done! 👏

[@georgewalker4260]

FACTS 💯

[@salvuserus1763]

Wow!!! The emotional energy of this beat is amazing.

[@tjmuzix]

A great choir to listen for from the 70s/80s is the Institutional Radio Choir of NY.

[@poporowyo]

The way you break down the programming in a simple way is really helpful. Keep it up with the type beat tutorials. Evidence, DJ Premier, Dr. Dre would all be great to see

[@RalphLBaer]

This was nuts. You made it look so easy. Thanks for the inspiration. Looking yo make a gospel album

[@RYANMAKESBEATS]

Thanks man, appreciate you!! You should make that album, that would be sweet!

[@tassia3580]

yes gospel albums are awesome to use. Mahalia Jacksons stuff is good too.

Good morning, Ryan. this might be one of your hardest hitting beats that I have seen/heard. Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings!

I'm a simple man. Ryan makes beat. I get inspired. I make beat.

[@tonyt303]

You got skills man..Presentation and creativity. Loving it xx

[@lundsweden]

Thank you, great track and you explained your process really well. While I don't make exactly the same kind of music, these tips are pretty applicable to a lot of sample based styles!

[@yohonthewolf]

Yo!!!! That was so awesome. I have been wanting to explore gospel records. I think now is the time. That beat is dope.

[@RYANMAKESBEATS]

I would definitely recommend trying it out. Appreciate you!

The face you made at 4:37 said it all. I call that the "Stank Face". Typically a sign that things are about to get real. This was a pleasure to watch as usual. Please keep bringing the people these quality tutorials.

[@sklobi]

I keep waiting for a snare… I think it would be 100x better with a crispy 9th wonder snare

[@discowolf25]

Yo! I’m not attacking you at all when I ask this (dead serious)- how old are you? The reason I ask is (this is my own theory so not quote me) that I think from about 2007ish-2012-13ish the frequencies from “trap” snares messed up everyone’s ears. Pre chief keef. No one in the US knew what Drill was, maybe grime if you were as dope as me 😂 (kidding). It’s crazy that it’s such a point of contention with audiences now though!

[@sklobi]

Can you make one of these for the alchemist or Madlib

Master class! Thanks for the easy to understand but rewardingly to master. I was wondering these samples are all from the same song? Can you mention the tracks names?

How can i find gospel records? I couldn’t find it on Spotify. Can you put the link to buy ?

how did you figure out the bpm for this, before you laid down the gospel chops to begin with?

What song did you sample from?

This shit is 🔥 wtf 😂

[@clemensholzkorn1566]

Thanks for the tutorial! How do you clear your samples?

[@sharodmanso556]

New subscriber and man this beat is insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥 did you sample from one song from the record or did you pick different songs on the record to sample from

[@octopusmaiden4372]

The beat is dope, man, but what about the copyrights infringement? Is it safe to use these samples this way? What if you sold the beat to the real artist and got into trouble because someone owns it?

[@MaskedMenace94]

Let’s not forget to respect and honor the Gospel tracks you’re using. Gospel is sacred to us Black Americans, just like Blues is. All our music is really, but Gospel has a special place within our culture. Yaint got Soul, you prob don’t understand but word. Nice beat though

[@terrytimberlake8926]

Hold up.. It sounds good, but you know you're opening up Pandora box, "license infringement, copyrights." equals LAWSUIT 😮..

[@yeaokay7871]

@@tonytemple8195 No one ever said they discovered it. You do know what sampling is right? It's taking something already created and turning it into something new lmao. So when black people sample it's okay but when white people sample it's stealing. You hella racist bro get a life

No matter how hard beat is personality can make it just corny anyway . Try pop music

[@StrateLaceD]

Rap not your style so it just ain’t it

[@sebastienelkouby9699]

The way you speak about how dope Gospel samples are shows how little knowledge and respect you have for the music. You treat it like it was created only to be sampled. Not that you should do a history class on the topic (I wouldn't expect you to know the topic) but you're dismissive of the music in a way you're not even aware of. Plus, Maceo is pronounced "Maseo", not "Makeo". Please learn about what you're sampling. It gives culture vulture vibes.

[@yeaokay7871]

your giving racist vibes
