In this video I am making beats in LA with my family Pancho-- we are prepping for his new tape produced entirely by me! A few weeks ago I did a quick Q&A and this question popped up a ton. "Im a newbie at beats, how do I start?" I touched on the question a bit in this video! Also PEACE to my brother Beat Butcher for the pack!!

Hip-hop is one of the few art forms that is inherently OF and FOR +the people+. THAT is the most valuable thing that hip-hop has given and continues to give the world. It angers me when people try to take that away by placing it behind imaginary barriers. "You NEED thousand of $'s of equipment." "You NEED a record deal." Etc. All you NEED is your heart and your hands. (And if you don't have hands then you can probably find a workaround.) Hip-hop, Punk, Folk-Art. These arts are a gift from the divine that no gallery or record label can distort. These arts exist as "fuck you"s to the people who've told us what art 'NEEDS to do' or 'NEEDS to sound like' or 'NEEDS to look like'. Grandmaster Flash. The Ramones. Basquiat. Voices for the voiceless... Hip-hop forever.

Wichita, KS here. Several years back I worked on music quite a bit. Felt what I didn’t wasn’t any good and stopped. Recently started trying again. Not everyday is an uphill battle. The advice given here is 100% on point. Don’t give up if your new. Keep making beats, keep experimenting and trying new things. Not every session needs to have an outcome. If your not feeling pushing pads, go through some records and sample stuff that you think might work later. Work on your own sample library so when inspiration comes you’ll have samples waiting and ready. Every time you turn on your computer or machine and work on something your learning. Keep up the videos man, your giving this old guy new inspiration and life in my beats. Bless up

It forces anyone to problem solve creatively because there isn't much in view of bells and whistles. This is how unique methods of making music is born. Good build 👊🏾👍🏾

I love these videos so much man. My life revolves around music - from working my 9-5 to 90s trance and crate digging for those weird $1 records, to going to a JID show solo last week because none of my friends were down to join lol. But for some time now I have been itching to *create* something as well. I've been doubting on the what and the how, but I feel like this is stopping me from taking that first step you mention. Luckily I already have a record player with USB output, so I guess I'll try to find some cool bits to sample (even though I have no idea how that even works yet haha) Thanks for reaffirming those among us that may need to be reminded that step #1 is taking the first step

Yo man what’s going on? I’m a new subscriber, but a big fan. I just wanted to also throw out there with your great advice for starting producers that more and more public libraries have been putting in fully functional Studio/Production work spaces. I’m actually from Lawrence myself, but I live in Topeka right now, but I’m actually moving back lol. Anyway the Lawrence public library has a fully decked out studio with multiple rooms, and apparently the Topeka public library has one for slightly smaller production and podcasting. I don’t know if it’s a full country thing or not, but for those of you who live in the US, maybe see if your library has a studio if you can’t afford the gear yet. I have the gear and I still going in. Once again, I am loving your videos. I don’t know how I didn’t find you yet, but I’m happy I did. Keep doing you bro!!
