Skills needs a beat making series on youtube especially using this MPC 2000( not XL) cause their aren't enough good vids where someone flipping on this MP ! This was crazy nice .

[@texmontana420]

One minute in and Im feeling most than youtube beat makers today

[@arsonalspits]

People need to stop hating.. Nobody owns a sample.. It's how you flip it to make the rhythm yours...

[@darkskinwhite]

well... technically the label owns the sample lol but yes I agree that you can sample it even if someone else did but a true fan of hiphop knows that you have to flip it totally different or its bitin

[@N8oRMusic]

I was always taught to "work with what you got". I get myself paid so I'd definitely be buying that missing F button immediately. lol

[@IamELJohnson]

Feeling this...
