This was one of those beats that was just mad fun to make. It's always dope when you get a piano sample which is so crazy that you just stay motivated to get it chopped up asap, to flip whatever it was that made it stand out to you. With this beat the sample was so nice I ended up making a couple of loops, pitching my chops up and down to experiment with different sounds. The chops at the normal pitch were shorter, which made for a more upbeat, choppy kind of vibe. To contrast against that, I then pitched the sample down loads for the second flip, which came out more smooth and fluid cause of the chops being much longer, which worked well for the second part of the track. It obviously makes a huge difference having more than one flip in terms of variation and song progression, and it's something I always try and do now when flipping a sample.

I was going for a positive vibe with this beat, trying to express the more carefree attitude to life which I find through making and listening to music.

Thank you for all the support, I hope people enjoy the vibe of this one - peace!

I made this beat in late October 2019. I'd picked up a generic record compilation of music from films at a charity shop for 50p on the off chance that there would be something dope on there. The sounds on this beat are all I managed to find on the whole record, on one rhapsody track from 1945 that it had. Most of the rhapsody had nothing that stood out to me and was really hectic musically with no sampling potential, and it was a bit frustrating, because I'd spent a few hours listening to records for samples. Then for a brief moment there was a pause in the rhapsody, and these really dark and menacing bass notes played, and they instantly stood out to me so I sampled them into the MPC2000. I guess being frustrated with not finding a sample brought out an aggressive nature in this beat, it made me think of the soundtrack to Jaws or something in how sinister and angry the beat sounded. It was late October too so maybe it being near Halloween inspired the evil sound of the beat too. I was happy with the loop of the bass heavy string notes, and I layered the best piano notes from the rhapsody ontop, which added a lot to the beat and made it a lot more engaging.

Overall this is one of those beats that was born out of frustration, but once I actually had the samples on the MPC it was very simple to make, and it didn't take long to get to the finished product, which I was very happy with as it's always fun to make a really grimey hardcore sounding beat.

Peace!

I remixed this song once before, but it was over a laid back jazz beat with a smooth vibe, and when I re listened to it I realized that was the complete wrong type of beat for this verse: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/same-game (I've got plans to re-do this beat with a different DOOM acapella because I still think his voice and flow sound right over it). 

DOOM actually went off on this track though, he always does but in terms of speaking on serious issues and touching on deep topics, he really goes all out here unlike anything you ever really hear from him. The way he speaks on the state of things here is from a pretty matter of fact viewpoint, and definitely rings off slightly pessimistic to me, as if he’s fed up with the situation and the way things are, which is what made me choose this beat (also the way DOOMs flow hit the kicks when I chopped the acapella was crazy). The sample has that empty feeling to me, which I thought fit well with the lack of emotion DOOM shows here, despite what he’s talking about being mad deep in that regard, I just wanted to elevate that cold outlook of looking at the worst things for what they are without sugarcoating anything, just telling it like it is.

Peace and thank you for listening!
