Met BC back in 2002-2003. I was at guitar center messing with the the new motif (even though we had one I was buying something) and he liked what I was doing. He gave me his number and we talked a few times. I was locked into another label that ended up falling. He told me he wanted to do more--and could do more than what he is known for. I believe it.
Every now & then I come back to this video to see how battlecat created such a classic beat, piece by piece. It's almost like a magician showing you his tricks with no bullshit illusion. Best believe I'll be back sometime in 2020 to relive this.
Royal clash Radioactivity is the inspiration for this track. With his added touches. But the main groove is radioactivity as well as the hook of the song
Definitely one of the best......people don.t even know he did shit for Faith Evans and other big names. His shit is all made organically. He does not just Loop some simple shit. I had the pleasure of meeting cat at the guitar center. He was solo no security or any of that shit. He literally stood there and talked to me like we knew each other. We just talked about beats. I was surprised this big time producer didn't act big headed. He even gave me free tips. I will never forget how humble this man is. I meet other big names and let's just say they feel superior. Cat got that funk doe. One of the best beats he made is time goes on with Kokane and snoop. You talk about funk shit the way Kokane fit that battle cat beat is hard! Trust me it is a real banger. Cat is underrated.....cat, Bosko, ea ski, ant banks, warren g and dj pooh got that funk heat.....I love DRE and quik but all the producers I named kept the funk going for the west!
@@KE-jb4mh No but as far as producers I have also met Joe Cooley, Crazy Tunes Warren G. I met alot of rappers. Dub C, Cube, Snoop, Sugafree, Mc Eiht, Second 2 none,the Lady of Rage, The liks.
From the Minimoog, that custom MPC3000, Korg MS2000 and all those sound modules to the picture of Marvin Gaye in the background you know the energy must be crazy, some real powerful shit!
This is one of the craziest beats of all time I’ve been watching this video over and over since they first posted this. There is so much space between the instruments and the drums are so simple but they melt together so perfectly
One of the Unsung Legends of the Gangsta rap scene..perhaps even hip-hop period, He is always overlooked and underated. Long live the legend Battlecat! Keep commin with that smooth yet bangin west coast shit!!
Always The Top Dawg Him and DJ Quick Why y’all think DRE don’t make no Videos like this 🤔Cause he ain’t Actually doing all that Music himself he Samples a lot and has others playing his shit Cat and Quick DO THIS!!!!!!!
So grateful this beat was made on camera
ONE OF THE BEST WESTCOAST PRODUCERS OF ALL TIME!
You ain’t lying!
Not just west coast best periodt
0 classics
@@tigrisrgn4062 lol who? Better do your research👌🏾😎
@@tigrisrgn4062 crazy man
2022 checkin in...still one of my favorite Battle Cat beats.
QUIK + BATTLECAT = THE REAL WEST
You already know. 2 of the best from the west
GBO$$DUP dont forget dam-funk
GBO$$DUP way better than dre
Cant forget Daz Dillinger and Sam Sneed
You gotta throw Sir Jinx and bobcat in there
I really enjoying watching professionals do what they do. This is no different from watching MJ, Kobe, Jerry Rice etc have a legendry game
Jerry Rice admitted to using #stickum
Jose Lopez everybody was using stickum and jerry still achieved more
Facts joe!

That sh!t go hard!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Ima keep the main bass and layer that and do whatever I want!" Straight game! 💎💎🔥🔥🔥
Years later and the beat is still a g funk/ hip hop classic, reminds me of something bootsie collins or zapp & Roger would do

He put that touch on it at about 3:50 that's just plain ridiculous! Love it!
My favorite producers: DJ Battlecat, Dr Dre, Madlib, Terrace Martin, Hallway Productions, Ty Dolla and Knowledge.

2:20 Cat himself stated he was moved with emotion while layin' down this bassline!
One of the hardest beats EVER.
he is the best producer man ..his hands are soul and funkfull
Such an inspiring person. A real artist.
We need a BATTLE OF THE BEATS with this man & whoever yall think can match him from his era
We need more comments praising this awesomeness.
