[@katmai90210]

"just become the master of that one instrument or two instruments and then you can create anything" - that was really cool

[@milhouse777]

This is a proper artist for the 808 day

[@Windhorse11]

This guy exudes sensational joy in his music. He's like in love with it for the first time.

[@benji.B-side]

As an old school UK B-Boy, this man made me dance so much. He's an Hip Hop legend!

[@JRosevelt]

Thanks for sharing this, because so many legendary artists and contributers to music aren't recognized as much as they should be and Mr. Egyptian Lover is one who needs to be celebrated even more! What a great contribution to music!

[@churricardo1457]

Love how electro is more alive than ever in hiphop, with detroit trap and pop artists jumping on electro type rhythms

[@Mr.Marbles]

yes exactly. often with dark experimental synth stuff and samples going on. without a rapper it is literally modern electro.

[@pkliskiki1800]

omg can you guys recommend me these songs ??? I'm desperate to find more music like this !!!!

[@pkliskiki1800]

​@@Mr.Marblesdude can you share with me some of these songs ?? 😊 love this sound would love to find more stuff !!!

[@pkliskiki1800]

one that I love that I can give to you guys: BOYS NOIZE AFFECTION!!!

[@Mr.Marbles]

@@pkliskiki1800 Jensen interceptor x DeFeKt have some insane eps for example the „free your mind“ and „free your body“ EP Dopplereffekt still make some stuff with an early detroit sci-fi vibe, similar to the exaltics There is also UMWELT who makes more distorted and dark stuff and labels such as „lunar orbiter program“ come to mind (all of those are on bandcamp) Oh also drexciya is a must listen if you dont already know them. Some of the best electro stuff out there, period. Its not new tho

[@notsogood9449]

"EGYPT!... EGYPT!... EGYPTIAN LOVER!... EGYPTIAN LOVER BABY!"

[@super8nacho]

[@therainmaka6455]

Egyptian Lover was and is the dopest artist name ever!! ✊

[@arclight2012]

The 808 and 909 are the best sounding drum machines of all time. That 808 kick and clap are just *chef’s kiss*

[@Cynical2012]

Egyptian Lover is the man, the artist, incredible

[@woodshed_moments]

"...have two beats, I compute.... Egyptian Lover" This is one of the few guys out of any of the rap set pre-hip hop set, that you just got to respect because he just came up organically.

[@wackerburg]

The *wisdom* at 3:50 is priceless! It's all about knowing your tools well. 🟥🟧🟨⬜ Love my 808 endlessly. Such a great drum machine.

[@splice]

Love that!

[@birdy369]

YES!!! a legit from the source EL sample pack! This man is a legend in sound! I'm never able to find good oldschool electro samples but this right here should do the trick! Now all I need is a good oldschool latin freestyle sample pack, bring in Chris Barbosa or Mark Ligett! Pretty Tony!

[@Noway673]

I've bought lots of Egyptian Lovers Albums and Uncle Jam's Army song:Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!_Yesss!

[@ChrisWebb-h9f]

I've NEVER heard anybody using a Cassette pause button to mix music. That's how I got my start at mixing back in the 80's. Egyptian Lover, you have always been a influence with you style of music.. WISH I could get my hands on a Roland TR 808 Now my studio has went from Analog to digital.. Still Jam to allot of your tunes..

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

EL is about as OG as it gets.

[@sol3cito33]

Why every mainstream artist has the All Seeing Eye displayed somewhere? 2:53 Or one eye covered, if nothing else.

[@artcs]

Eye of Ra/ Egyptian Lover....at least in this instance it fits.

[@sol3cito33]

Well, yes, you are right.@@artcs

[@Jj-zy4xe]

3:30

[@emilioruiz7242]

Dope tho lol 😂

[@kiosko33hz]

Actually and factually, the king of the 808 is Kurtis Mantronik.

[@choporchubbzda1]

I’d say it’s a tie between the two, Kurtis pioneered it on the East Coast while Egyptian Lover pioneered it on the West Coast

[@ChristopherTrevino-vt4gq]

Sorry Greg, your NOT The king of the 808. Afriikka Bambatta & MAGGOTRON are The kings of the 808, & Miami Artists are too. & you Did Not invent the Vocoder Vocal & Breathing sound. KRAFTWERK invented it & many others did as well. Sorry Greg brousard but your still ok. ..
