    My personal story: As a teenager, I spent my time digging through old records in search of samples to make beats, only to end up, as an adult, preferring jazz, funk, soul, world music, prog rock, and even classical music over hip-hop lol. Beat-making turned me into a music lover.

      Beats and hip hop are a gateway music to more music.

    • @yvesdemiurgos9834
      @yvesdemiurgos9834 Месяц назад +9

      Back in my case, making beats as a teenager in the ’90s straight up led me to learning piano and guitar so I could play the music I was hearing on those old records I used to sample. For almost 10 years, I wasn’t making beats at all-just instrumental music. It’s only been a few years since I got back into messing with an MPC, probably out of nostalgia. But I gotta admit, I’m way better on the piano than I am at chopping samples. Back then it was just a loop and a beat; now the techniques have evolved, and I’m out of practice. I’d rather spend my time hunting down complex chords on the guitar. Lol.

    • @dix0nc0unty

      hip hop is still my favorite cus the open structure allows you to put all of those together more cohesively than you can with any other genre

  • @the.elsewhere
    @the.elsewhere 4 дня назад +7

    When you’re listening and you hear a sample. And then you make a beat with it and you love it. Precious moments. After years of doing it, you listen to the sample and the beats composes itself in your mind. It’s an incredible feeling that makes you feel rich inside. People like Alchemist operate at that level all the time.
