Rhythm Roulette: Sporting Life

- After a short break, we’re back with another episode of Rhythm Roulette, this time Mass Appeal presenting Sporting Life. Sport switched up the flow of things, sampling from three cassette tapes instead of going for vinyl records. Needless to say, the results are ill. After finding a tiny part of a sample on an unidentifiable tape, Sport created a drum loop that channels the vibes of the late Koopsta Knicca’s music. From there, he layered drums into the beat and his own vocals drops, shouting out Wiki of Ratking, who makes an appearance in the episode as well.
Watch Sporting Life create gold out of old-ass cassette tapes in the player above.

What started as a humble graffiti ‘zine in 1996 would soon grow to be one of the most trusted outlets for youth-spawned urban culture. Today, Mass Appeal is a media collective led by authentic voices and inspired minds. We are a platform for radical creatives who are transforming culture.
For those who dont know, the main melodic singing sample Sport used is from a song called "The Wound of History" (although the cassette may be covered as English version), which is a song originally recorded in May 1989, and by over over 100 artists in Taiwan to support Tiananmen Square Protest, and it has become a banned song by China government.
@Edward Chance nah you were right, no one cares
@@morlordca 67 people who liked his comment cared
That's fascinating, thank you.
😮yeah I always be trying to figure what the sample saying to match up if I pick a track. Interesting
thats pretty heavy
This dudes whole style/aesthetic is so unique
when he picked up his phone and continued to make the beat was the best moment
Swear
💯💯💥💥
FINALLY the first beatmaker on Roulette using cassettes.
he pretty dope wit it.
Yeah. Check out my sound on instagram. jrnysoul
Damn that makes me feel so old.
Thank god that whole Sprite shit was just temporary
+TimelessBeatz Exactly what I was thinking haha
+P Roh Dusah It wasn't that. I just hated the fact that the Sprite brand was all over the last four Rhythm Roulettes although Sprite literally has zero to do with beatmaking nor rap music in general
TimelessBeatz lol true. but most of the hate was base on what i stated earlier. it couldve been akai and people wouldve went fuckboy
uea i agree
+TimelessBeatz They've got to pay the bills and get money to expand the channel upon. Just look at some of the calibur that also allowed them to get. You think people like Just Blaze would be cheap?
this is my favourite rhythm roulette, humble dude, raw beat, and hardware.
Tommy Wright III - Runnin'-NGunnin'
He bodied this beat, off cassettes bruh........mad props
Thank you for returning to the format that got you all your views on this show in the first place.
Sporting life if you're reading this you are one of my favorite PRODUCERS !!!
+sportinglife give this man word or 2?
This guy's creativity and workflow is the effortlessly unique. Who else uses cassettes (intentionally in a different language and scales nonetheless!), stage drum pads, a random Roland controller that took me 10 minutes to find on their site, and a leap motion controller to mute tracks. 💯
Yo would you mind explaining what his workflow is here and what equipment he's using with it real quick?
EntropicSpore Roland spd-sx drum pad to play samples. Focusrite Scarlet interface to record audio into computer. Cassette player, audio sent into interface to record samples. Roland mx1 mix performer, for mixing/playback and control over daw.
Johnny Farr yea man it's definitely a different way to do things. Pretty unessicary these days too. I use an old tascam 4 track to create beat loops by cutting and splicing the tape, as well as using weird tapes for sample source too. With a sample trigger, live instrument over dubs, and records and tapes for sample source, all run threw ol free audacity is enough to make music. All that shit minus the computer is like 150-220 bucks lol. I got a couple videos showing what I mean on my channel. I totally think it's good to experiment and do what ever you can to make music you love. Even on a tight budget
love sporting life. love the tapes, it's something new and fun. love not being told to obey my thirst
The whole point of this series is that its REAL. The REAL beat making process, using their REAL equipment, in their REAL working environment, at their REAL PACE. Everything about the Sprite sponsorship CONTRADICTED THAT. I understand you gotta pay the bills, so if you do have to it again, just put up some Fatheads of the Sponsor's Logo in the producer's room or hang up some logo'd tarps or some shit.
+1blackone I agree bro. I would even tolerate ADS in the middle of these webisodes.. 30 seconds of a Sprite ad for example. I think the participants (producers) HAVE to be in their own work environment to keep RR authentic...just how it was since its inception.
+1blackone I disagree for multiple reasons. First off, Sprite is the sh*t. If you don't like Sprite something is wrong with you. Second, you gotta look at the heads they got on with those Sprite Spots. Mannie Fresh, Just Blaze and Georgia Anne Muldrow. It would be different if they got some new jacks but those three been in the game since been in the game nawmean. I had no idea Georgia existed until that spot. She is fire and deserves much more recognition than she gets and MP plus Sprite gave her that. Also it does not matter what you use it matter what it sounds like. So many people get caught up on that. Tryin to talk about inception like you was in the room when it happened or some sh*t. Mass Appeal is dope. Sprite is dope. Stop being a hipster.

LOL holy shit, do you honestly think we can't tell you're a shill? Using slang all half-right and shit "look at the heads" "they got some new jacks" "nawmean"(?) Soo fucking forced its sad, no actual person fucking talks like that. Im not your supervisor, but I DEFINATELY wouldn't give you your check this week, you 40 year old man pretending to be "down with the coolio trends, bro-bro!" or however you think it would be said...
+1blackone 22 actually. You 19? listen to Yung Thug or whatever? Ever heard of CoFlow or UMC's? I'm just dropping knowledge and only fools hate knowledge.
Ian Quarles
All of what we are talking about-both you and I-are opinions, not facts or "knowledge". I think yours are paid-for opinions. So to me, you are a shill tryna put a spin on the narrative, probably because Mass Appeal had already recorded Sprite bullshit and they don't wanna lose thier audience when they have to post it to receive thier funding. I simply can't see you as anything else, so we're done.
I got completely immersed in this guys workflow. Really into this beat.
Yes! Nothing like some Rhythm Roulette without being told to "Obey Your Thirst".
Leaving the human timing and the organic snares in place give the beat a live feel and keeps it from sounding robotic. Dope process... Ratking is raw too...
I like going backwards
First time I've seen a set up like this in a loooong time!!! Goes to show it doesn't take thousands of dollars of equipment to make pre production.
Bigg Vic Tv this is thousands of dollars worth tho
Yeah probably between 1 and 2 thousand not including computer
in all honesty this dude one of my favorite producers man for real
He has a really unique setup and workflow.
Most original set up lol, shout out to u my man
Tommy Wright III !!!!!!!!!!!!!
they took the voice $ample out at the end, for copyright i think :/
Its dope as hell to see these different workflows really helping understand the production process.
Ratking for life.
Was that wiki that walked past him?
davaughn dixon Yerp
ITS BACK! Thank you mass appeal
+Tiago Marques I was thinking the same thing... that Sprite shit sucked!
Dude could probably make any sample combinations work. Some of the Ratking beats are mindblowing with how he went about them.
When he was sampling cassette I was like ok let's see where this goes.Reminds me of old set ups I had back in the day but he combined it with the new which was dope.We used to sample cassette alot and they're some of my favorite beats.👍
OMG we can see the albums! OMG we can see their home studio!
Thank god it was temporary. All is forgiven. You guys need to get paid for your hard work.
Super cool! Much different than the other RR's I've seen!
Relieved to see RR return to its former glory.
The SC era were some dark days
Oh my fucking god finally!!!!!!!!! Sporting life on roulette is my dream come truuuu
LMAOOOO THAT SHIT WAS LIT *ANSWERS A CALL WHILE LAYING A PATTERN*
TAPES?!!!!! Incredible talent.
I love it!
I'd say he and 45 king had the most unique roulette so far.
ayyy wiki in the cut
They need on this :
1. Erick arc elliott
2. Shawn Kemp
3. MF DOOM
+Höghuset Official truest comment on youtube. shawn kemp would be crazy on this shit
+Höghuset Official omg lyle would kill this shit
+Höghuset Official i hope kemp gets on this, dude is a multi-talented beatmaker!
+Höghuset Official kemp would never do this :-(
LIL UGLY MANE!!!!
Besides 9th wonder. This is the best one yet. Everything about this was 🔥 💯👌🏾
check out 45 king
Yooosheer on here?
Yooosheer 45 king one is hella overrated imo
This is hip hop.. Using what you have in a creative way.
Out of all the ones I've watch.. That was so dope.. I never thought of using cassette tapes.. To find a sample.. I put that as the most unique way his production process
Soon as I heard that T3, I was on some "You better not come short on this one!" 😆😆
that was probably one of the best episodes.
so cool he's got stuff released on r&s, he deserves it. and his whole approach fits.
This is the best one. Tape machine to sample.... Dope!
Its amazing the creativity behind a producer !
Hands down the best rhythm roulette in existence
Thank you for the return of the good format! It shows you listen and you will survive because of this.
Damn this dude made a fire ass track with using Cassettes!! now that is what I call real talent!! Just Thinking out loud!!!
Do DJ Smokey. He's a sampling god.
dude is a machine with those beats. always making big projects.
Great Job! I'm a fan! This is a phenomenal Rhythm Roulette!!
the fact he used cassettes is even cooler
EXACTLY! TimelessBeatz: "Thank god that whole Sprite shit was just temporary"

OMG!!! TOMMY WRIGHT III AND CASSETTES!!! SPEECHLESS!!!!!!
Most creative episode
Tommy Wright I creep @ nite! Posse deep is how I creep😈
Still one of the best imo.
I love this dude's approach.
king !!!
Sporting life has a very unique method of production, and makes some damn groovy dishes
DAAAAMN THAT TOMMY WRIGHT BUMPIN!!!!
Back to the original format. PROPER!
sport can do no wrong
this is nuts
nice work, gonna check more stuff from this dude
Bruh's shit was hot... Point. Blank. Period. When other critics want to worry about equipment and technique, he is making beats his way. I thought that is what it's all about... I'm blown away from the fact that he uses tapes! Really Dope, Much Respect! Yea, that Sprite shit was too much...really killed the vibe. They should've just had ciphers in between the RR webisodes.
This was fire. Cassettes are dope, I stay rocking mine.
I'm back in the future!
Another episode I've somehow missed. Incredible!
mwahah, took it back to the cassettes...reminds me of my old days making beats chopping up music from tape to tape.
might be my favorite roulette because he killed it, and he used something from all three albums, not just one. i did like the mix during the production more than the final, though ( except, of course, the final had all the bass ).
+kodiak wild do you know how I would sample tapes and record them into my DAW? I know I'd need a tape player, but I'm not sure what cables I would need. I have a Audio Interface.
i used to do it with a double cassette player, but to do it digitally, if the player has a headphone jack, just use a 3.5 ( or 1/8" ) cable to 1/4 & plug it straight in. or, if you get a mini stereo with a tape player, probably something like rca, to rca/1/4" adaptor cable & run it into your interface. you'll most likely get your cassette signal from a headphone jack, but if the tape player doesn't have that for some reason, you can mic the speaker. also, if the audio interface has an xlr input, same thing, just xlr end instead of 1/4". you can get all these cables on amazon, or radio shack, if they're still in your area.
The drums bang hard! The snare snaps!
That’s genius.. PERIOD. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Tommy Wright i creep at night" i see u sport
actaully its "sporting life i creep at night"
the way he hitz the drumz pad, i find it hilariou$
+the phone
Seriously skilled. Bigups Sporting Life!!
We need way more Rhythm Roulette's, make it weekly
This mite B my fav Rhythm Roulette so far!
Ah yeah, great episode. I didn't know this guy, but he has styyyyleeee!!
Only a select group of rappers can flow on that, very trippy beat
Oh shit! That Tommy Wright III sample.
Schoolboy Q.and that beat🔥
I fucked up my back from making beats on the couch like this for years. Don't do that kids. Get a proper desk.
I wouldn't mind seeing Nashiem Myrick, who produced the old CNN records
5:00 LMAO lol
Finally... True talent!
dope!!!!!
Damn! He rocks cassetts! Thats different
Straight Fire!! I'm a fan! Great Job!
"like if DJ Rashad was making shit for Cam'ron"
