NO COPYRIGHTING INTENDED. http://halfliferecords.ca/ Lyrics: Just give me a sec, I gotta make some beats Yo, plug that in over there Turn on the turntable, let the needle touch the record I'll find the right sound, Im used to coping under pressure You dig, you look, you skip tracks and skip back Take pieces of old music, mix match, and flip tracks After that you spit rap, to get ads, and hit ass Yo wait, whats that, ya the piano part, bring it back Ya, ya thats it right there Now let me loop that in the sampler, piano piece caught my ear Gimmie a sec, nothin better than a piano loop Let me get this perfect, let me pitch it up a bit A little faster might be worth it Ya, ya, ok, 73 beats per minute, it still dont loop right Let me try it 74, and that should make it loop tight There we go, now this sample bumpin hard Soundin like mythotical fairytales, or somethin dark It's giving me ideas already, the moods, the melody Oh shit, Im losin track, wait, the beat still needs developing Alright, I got my sample, so now I need a drum kit Let me try out this one kick, ya thats somethin I can run with Now I figure out a pattern like running plays and maddin Let the kicks sit on the sample, make magic like Aladdin And now I need a snare, so let me try this here Nah, its too dirty, the kick's too clear, it doesnt mix right So let me try this rim shot, a little bit of hand clap, to give it a touch of hiphop Ok, that kinda work, ya I like that Maybe add some cymbals, nah fuck it, dont need no high hat But maybe add a shake of somethin slick and smooth like (sound) Loop that, cut it, and make it move right Ok I need a joint Yo pass that over Just one puff Just wanted to get something in my head, you know Take me somewhere else before I drop this back Ya I drop the drum now, listen how the drum sound It's almost there, but this aint done, and I aint tryin to jump the gun now Track is soundin ripe, but I aint finished man, this take time Still adjustin levels and gotta filter out the baseline Like, just turn the highs way down, there we go Now I got my base sound, drop the beat again Ya that soundin better now, drum is soundin crisp Base is thick, ya the base is thick so now what could I lace wit it? Guess I'll put a change in it, rearrange a bit, add some things And take you to another place wit it, music is moods Dont matter how its produced, dont matter what tool you use Or the instruments that you choose (nope) It's all about listen, I can switch right quick From laid back, to hype shit Wit a drum roll, crash, and a tight kick Bring back the piano, switch between your two samples Turn up the clap, and piano shakers to the left channel Ya its workin, almost sound complete But I probably wont be using it, Jordan, you want this beat? [Jordan Croucher:] Ya I kinda like the way this beat is flowin out Maybe later on I'll write some shit and put it down And I know, oh shit, yo yo hold on, hold on, hold on Let me get that back, hold on, hold on Ya I kinda like the way this beat is flowin out Maybe later on I'll write some shit and put it down And I know, that this could be the sound, oh ya Ya, ya that'll do it Something like that yo Aight We'll do somethin like that, thats the riff right there I'm feelin that man, thatll work Ya, ya Aiight I'll finish this beat up, I'll burn it off for ya Just give me a couple more minutes
