At right around the 1:32 mark of the latest episode of MASS APPEAL’s "Rhythm Roulette," featuring the magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff, you can see the legendary artist and actor pensively place his chin in his hands as he carefully listens to one of the three records he dug out of the crates at random, figuring out which portion of it he’ll use just minutes later as he crafts his instrumental. At that moment, it becomes clear that this isn’t just a bit of press for Jazz. This is life. The act of making music is home for him, as he alluded during the introduction of the segment.
So much so, that the records were brought to him. Jazz, who regularly tours internationally, didn’t have time to hit the record store after returning home from a recent trip, so his friend and vinyl enthusiast Gene Brown brought the crate digging to Jazz in the back of a van. And dig he did. After the DJ swiped off the traditional blindfold, Gene revealed that Jazz had come up with Back for More by Al Johnson-“classic”-Say No More by rock act Les Dudek, and the 1973 self-titled album by funk act Reuben Howell.
“You know what that is?” exclaims Jazzy as he listens to one of the records, turning around to check for incredulous looks on the faces of his comrades. “That’s scratching! That’s scratching with someone singing on it! That’s why I was tripping!” Despite being at the forefront of DJ culture for the last 30 years, he still gets giddy when he hears it being done right.
What happens next is part of the reason why Jazzy won rap one its first Grammy. Enjoy the latest episode of “Rhythm Roulette” above.
Jazz got the chance to work with a brand new Serato software plug-in called Sample that integrates with Serato’s O.G. production software, Pitch ‘n Time. As the name suggests, Sample allows users to chop samples and manipulate them freely. BPMs can be adjusted to the utmost extreme without any loss of audio quality. A highly intuitive interface allowed Jazz to quickly find, chop, key-shift, and time-stretch samples.

Jeff is a very underrated producer...this is the man who discovered and developed Jill Scott, produced Will Smith back in the day has chasing goosebumps etc...the man is a living legend. No doubt
Rogers Sombe I never knew that about Jilly.
He is also a fantastic DJ.
He one of the most respected Heads in the game, not sure if you can actually call that underrated
@@sheenawalter8970 Actually it was Questlove. From there she got connected with a touch of Jazz(DJ Jazzy Jeff's label and Jeff brought in 5 producers to craft Who is Jill Scott in the late 90s. The rest is history!!
@@NoQualmsTheArtist Underrated as in 'something/somebody that has not received the merit, recognition they deserved. He's respected more as a DJ but his production development chops and forward thinking attributes are nuts.
He brought in and incubated producers and musicians that worked on Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Common, D'Angelo, Musiq Soulchild, Dwele. That late 90s neo soul movement.
You only a real boss when the record store comes to you!
Jazzy jeff an OG
for real
Those are probably all his records, that’s why the homie picked for him
😀😀😀😀😀
He's A Legend!
I'm currently building a time machine to have J Dilla on this show.
Its been 2 years, whats your status?
Unite Infinity nah fr
Long live J Dilla 🌹
@@askinfinity he didn't come back. He's chilling with dilla
@@arisbeats lol
I would HATE making a beat with 10 peeps hanging around..
That's what I enjoyed the most while you're cook and you see your homies heads nodding you know you're nailing it
agreed, it's so personal i can't have more than one person in the room while i make beats
That’s how you know your good. You have to work through it most of the best producers work with other artist or producers
I love ppl around me. If u don't u kind of have a form of stage freight 😂
@@dimeandbiggie353 freight?
jazzy jeff looking like the butler Jeffrey
Bobby King haha !
Bobby King right 😂😂😂
Lmao Jazzy Jeffrey the Butler
Bobby King Mahsta William
no like fr , i thought it was at first ! lol
* Gets thrown out of the studio by Uncle Phil*
Delano Vinci 😂😂😂😂😂
lol I thought he was going to do mass appeal like that,that shit would've been funny as hell
I'd gladly take a Uncle Phil tossing in exchange for some Hillary yams
Omg 😂😂😂you did it!
lmfaoooooo
Datz a good idea start deliverin vinyls to producers like uber eats
warnutztheloser call it uber beats
ProdByOffkey *Subscribe* Ha!
Except vinyl junkies would sit there for 4 hours listening to shit while the driver's waiting for $4
warnutztheloser yeah,uber beats.
There's a service like that now, it's called vnyl, but I'd rather just go to the shop and get them myself.
First things first, rest in peace Uncle Phil... for real.
No role modelz
He the only father that I ever knew
I get my bitch pregnant ima be a better you
J Cole
@@tigerhunter8878 prophecies that I made way back in the ville
You know your an OG when the record store comes to you and parks in your drive way
Him and will put illadelph on the map
This will go down as one of the best rhythm roulette episodes ever
OE Beats agreed
This ep was nice but I personally like 9th, Banner and El-P over this ep.
Mos Def, one of the best yo..
I don't recall a Mos Def ep unless you're saying "most definitely" one of the best ep's here lol
Definitely fire! I might have to jack that first sample!
how could anyone NOT like that ....? he did it totally pure including Scratches which is completely missing in todays hiphop
I miss scratching in hiphop tracks ...a REAL LEGEND ...SALUTE!
"Much needed for the culture" = FACTS
AMEN BRUH!
He looks pretty good, for someone who literally got thrown out of a mansion over a hundred times!
poisongodmachine3 🐰🔥😬
poisongodmachine3 lol
poisongodmachine3 Lol
THINK !!! Truth.
Lol....too funny
This man treated this like a paid studio session for a highly anticipated album. I even enjoyed the rapper.
My favorite DJ ever,...I don't care what nobody says. DJ Jazzy Jeff is the CHAMP!!! My opinion!!!
"Live at The Palladium" was my joint.
Your opinion = FACTS bro
Truth!
opinion indeed
FACTS!!!!!😎
Jazz shows why he is a living legend in this video
This episode made me happy as a dj, an emcee, a beat maker and a straight hip hop head ..
At first I thought Jazzy was in trouble, but when he dropped that sauce on it... oooooweeeeee! And yo the Emcee is nice!!!!
I love the way that 1st beat came together. The way he layered those drums was fire. Tuff.
Rhythm Roulette is just one head-crusher after another. We need an RR album! Come on, Mass Appeal!
thats such a smart idea and could be lucrative too
It would be to many songs to clear, that’s why I’m thinking it’s never been done.
True
Finished product is nothing short of amazing
10/10
DJ dove 😏 I knew u was a producer
Jeff got some nice studio gear as always...I did some early video work with Jill Scott when she was new new new to the industry, and Jeff helped and was kind whenever I called...true Philly icon.
Wow, thanks to Jazzy Jeff and this MC to bring back the feeling of the early days of Hip Hop.....The soul of the 90s is Hooping!
being underrated is a personal choice. being underrated is cool. it is kinda true. He is pretty well-rated and RECOGNIZED by a certain circle
They need to put Dj Premier, Pete Rock, Alchemist, Q Tip etc. On this
Son Of The King And DJ Muggs, DJ Quik, Daz, Warren G, Battlecat, Fredwreck
Rza, Erick Sermon, Prince Paul, D-dot & Nashiem Myrick!
I think DJ Premier and Alchemist already said they wont do it
I mean obv... any legend would be nice
no shit
TheDutchVegaShow Eric sermon already did one
Realizing I've never seen Jeff without sunglasses.
When the track is done "Now let's go get some BBQ and get busy" haha
It would be dope to get the RZA on here!
Ummmm... Yes !
Dj premier, Pete Rock, Q-tip, Warren G, Dj Quik,
Warren g?? GTFOH!
Nah RZA trash these days. But it would be interesting to see what he does
and DOOM
Jazzy Jeff is a part of the foundation. Was a pleasure to watch this. The track is phenomenal. 100%
I almost cried of joy when I saw the notification
Damn, after all these years this is the first time seeing him w/o glasses or shades...
hahah you been sleepin then
Again...A Genius in the Booth Analog or Digital!!! Salute to the Legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff
... the emcee is sick too. Respect...
This episode just threw Uncle Phil out the house.
This comment should've gotten more love. Lol
SP1200 in the back -"Am i a joke to you??"
Man.... there is definitely some of the best analog gear money can buy in that studio there! 👌
this is pure art
I always love listening to jeff mix.
I think it's about time after listening to alot of hip-hop in my lifetime I now look for samples and also DJs that savour my music taste buds for more knowledge.
One of the greatest ever!.. ain't no brand new funk without this man... I remember when they did the dedication to Jam Master Jay and Jazz ripped it in honor of...
That was something special. As mush as I love Premier, Granmaster and Capri, hey were no match to Jazzy
"SPEECHLESS" HIP-HOP NEEDS THIS!💯 JEFF IS THE "G.O.A.T"
Great episode! FYI, when JJ exclaims "that's scratching," it should be typed as "that's 'Scratchin'" with a capital S as he's referring to the breakbeat staple "Scratchin" by Magic Disco Machine. The record in question is Reuben Howell's "You Made Your Bed." Opposite to JJ's assumption of the track being "Scratchin" with someone singing on it," it's the other way around. "Scratchin" is "You Made Your Bed" with Howell's vox removed released a couple years later on the same label (Motown).
That's how its done!!! -"Music Is Not What I Do, It's Who I Am"
Song at the end is one of the best mixed and mastered products I have ever heard
Jazzy Jeff! Thank you sir ♥️ 4 the culture
Incredible. Respect to one of my HEROES : Jazzy Jeff. Thank you Rhythm Roulette...
For the first time ever, the rapper is actually dope as fuck. Damn
Amit Moshe Oren there's a been a few rappers on this series that didn't do too bad
Amit Moshe Oren Dissed Rapsody to the max! 😔
David Banner was tight too
not in this video
John B that def was my fav episode
Commenting from the hospital because this beat broke my neck 💣🔥
Jon Phillips good one
Peace
😂😭😭
Probably one of the greatest roulettes ever
Dj Jazzy Jeff, living legend... Bangin beat n song
This is what I want from a DJ album! I want them to make sampled beats and have a rapper lay vocals on the track AND THEN THE DJ SCRATCH MIXES IT!!!!!!
Oh man, I've seen Jazzy Jeff 10 times and he NEVER disappoints. Just wish I could hear that live style on record!!! Many blessings and Love ❤️ thanks for this.
Wow! Thanks for the opportunity to see a LEGEND cook up! #LEGENDARY
I honestly dont know a lot of Dj Jazzy Jeff's work but know he is like a living legend. He did his thing on here and the artist did his job too. Great video.
WOW This and the Big Krit episodes are my favorites. Next i really want to see either Kirk Knight or J Cole.
+Abdullah Fazal Kritt was dope but David banner shit was 🔥🔥🔥 too
I second a vote for J Cole
Yo the the Kid spit fire tho!!! He saying something!! Gotta check out his other tracks online!
he's with Jazzy Jeff everywhere he performs. must be the replacement for the Fresh Prince
DJ Jazzy Jeff!! Now that's what I'm talking about!! Such an inspiration in my early days on the hip hop scene. It's great to see the brotha still putting in work.
When your life is so dope that record stores come to u.
Speechless. Just speechless. He still kills it! This is a sick track! I wish Jazzy Jeff would hand pick a group of unsigned hype and put out series of compilation cds.
This is crazy because there are other episodes where it's a young, popular producer of the current era and they actually end up bragging about a 3 minute episode where it sounds like they gave us a tutorial beat.
And then there's this.
He could make a million beats off of the stuff i'm hearing. Love this show
Just discovered rhythm roulette. Thanks for allowing us to enter in production studios with high quality beatmakers. Precious moments.
Thanks for all your work. Keep up
Not only in the studio with legendary producer's, being able to see the process of their legendary production ability.... priceless...
jazzy jeff is such a charming person and a genius! goosebumps while watching the track getting engineered
One of the more refined episodes. A legend / a beat & and a complete song🔥🔥
See that's hip hop lyrical substance that's how it supposed to be done.you feel the emotion what he is going through that's how you paint a picture man need more of this man
Good to finally have some DJ scratch tracks on these Rhythm Roulette sessions... Big ups to the mighty DJ Jazzy Jeff!
When the "Just cruisin" beat drops: "Did I pick that???" LoL :D
Good to see getting tossed on his head all those years hasn't messed with his mind for music!😂😂😂😂
People sleep on jazzy man. One of the greatest DJ's EVER!! And, a slept on producer. Remember the beat generation!
Easy as that 🔥
This series has resurrected my love for actual hiphop, which has been dormant for 10 years
"actual hip hop" lmao shit evolves headass
@@prod.natejalo1122
If you calling today's hip hop evolving then leave me back in the 90's with KRS1 & CHANNEL LIVE
/COOL G RAPP/EMPD/SOULS OF MISCHIEFS 93 TILL../REDMAN/RAKIM/LORDS OF THE UNDERGROUND ETC....
HEADASS!!!
@@profyle766 bro why u pretending like Griselda, Joey badass, j.I.d, cordae, etc aren’t doing ur real “hip hop” cus by u saying real hip hop u proven ignorance and let’s not pretend the 90s weren’t corny asf as well but u get selective memory
Love that he’s using ableton. MPC 2000xl or ASR is awesome but it’s 2019 don’t be scared of the greatest DAW ever made.
This is one of the better episodes...
A breath of fresh air...
Best Rhythm Roulette I seen thus far. Dope song. Jazzy Jeff is still great and underrated
2:51 lmao he picked up Will Smith - Just Cruisin'
woow thats crazy! I had no idea why he responded like that at first,it makes sense now
Prop One Rakim actually wrote Summertime but his label thought it was too soft of a record for him to put out that time, so he ended up giving it to Will Smith. He talks about it in one of his interviews.
Ronald McLaughlin I heard a different story. Eric B in an interview said that Large Professor who worked on the Let The Rhythm Hit Em album convinced Rakim that it wasn't up to par. Will Smith and Rakim were both managed by the same company Rush Management which was Russell Simmons company.
Masta Ace Wrote Summertime
Ronald McLaughlin damn his company miss that missle sh$t blew up!!!🔥🔥💵
First things first Rest In Peace Uncle Phil
I really enjoyed this beat. One of my favorites for this show
The way DJ Jazzy Jeff crafts this beat is insane...💒🎼🎵🎶🙌
Jazzy Jeff a silent producer, let's the beat speak for itself... Crazy
He had one of the more impressive studios that's for sure. Raven, bunch of nice outboard gear. I would be right at home.
Killed that beat and song came out dope too. Makes me want to learn how to scratch.
That whole thing came out HARD AF! The spitter boxed that up like hot lunch! 🤯
Even with eyes closed he picked such fiyaaaa 🔥 records but at the same time that’s mostly thanks to the collector’s taste 👌
The second track is crazy dope
Last best reminds me of a mid 90s DJ Premier instrumental
Big Respect to yall for gettin an OG on here..
Brought the van to him classic DJ Jazz Jeff no shades on
Here come the OLDHEADS...
Sike nahh Jazzy Jeff deserves all the praise
Aaron Hall respect your elders, and I guarantee you that you'll learn alot... 🤔
R Rog somebody didn't read the rest of the comment 👀
Aaron Hall I did. I wasn't coming at you sideways, I was just making a point for those that don't have the young wisdom like you... That's all.
R Rog ohh, lol I thought you were, Jeff is the one of my biggest inspirations as a DJ & producer
Aaron Hall awe naw man, I read ALOT lol so I make it a habit to read everything before I respond. Aye that's dope that Jeff is one of your inspirations too. He's been one of mine since I was way young. Dude has to be one of the most unsung producers ever...
I can almost smell the vinyl
Maybe the best Rhythm Roulette ever
Synchronicity is him picking that record. Also me clicking on this video to witness it. Thanks Jeff, you been da man from day!
Damn, this is some serious quality! Big ups Jazzy Jeff!
liked even before watching. GOAT
Grateful. Thank you. 🙏🏿
U n dilla very blessed keep blazing the music game jeff one of my favorite djays n producer one love 4 life
The song is dope!
I wanted to hear the final version of that first mix he did...
One of the greats, still got it!!
this and the Peter Piper routine keep me going in life
Jesus I never knew he was this godly with the beats, I just really knew him from Fresh Prince
glad I came across this in 2019
I’m digging this one, well produced, one of the best episodes mos def 👍🏾
Great episode. Great song all together. Great beat and a great rap on top of it.
