"Now a queen's a queen and a stunt is a stunt/ You can tell who's who by the things they want."Despite this, Jeru felt that on his '96 release he would have to clarify exactly who he was referring to.
Some beats from hip hop producers and my analysis of the samples used.
About Me
- ReubenRR
- My name is Reuben. I'm 20 years old and have been listening to hip hop since 8th grade. As a fan of hip hop from a generation that grew up around digital formats I always had a curiosity as to how and where my favorite beats came from. Soul and RnB are genres that I grew up with. My dad has always had an extensive record collection, and the idea that music could be physically pressed in the grooves of a vinyl record had interested me at a young age. When I learned that what I was hearing in the background of my favorite hip hop records came from samples of old 70s albums my dad has, it sparked my interest to venture deeper into other musical genres. I think that sampling has become very relevant to my generation, and has become a way for us to be familiarized with older artists. As a DJ and collector of records I feel as though digging through crates of records has given me a better understanding of all music, not just hip hop. Through this blog I hope to inform and share my interests in the process of beat making.
