Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Jay Dilla, Kanye West, Nujabes, DJ Premier, Flying Lotus, Pharrell, Madlib, Tokimonsta, and Large Pro all inspired me to make music.
hilarious comment - it's got quantize silly - it's extremely simple to chop any beat and have it smoothed out into the rhythm you set. Maybe you don't really have any experience with it after all.. or ability to play a real instrument pre-filter-sample-loop-chop-sequence
I was riding down melrose on my bike in LA and I saw Pete this was in late 90s I jumped off the bike and the bike crashed into traffic lol I ran up to Pete star struck and said... u peterock man , he said yea that’s me son lol...I was soo excited....he gave me an autograph and I bounced...he’s one of the greatest producers that done it and he was and is a great inspiration to me to this day... peace
Man I miss hip hop like this.....A LOT OF US MISS IT.....now the industry is just letting artists in and it's depreciating the value of good music and beats.
Back when this was uploaded there wasn't a lot of videos of producers making beats so this video really cleared up a lot of the mystery of how an MPC, or sampler in general, worked. I remember really wanting to see him work with an SP-1200 (which happened to be uploaded a few years later luckily)
I get so pumped for making beats after watching videos like these, then i jump onto ableton and realise how good producers like pete rock are.. they make it look effortless!

Desiree Holgersson Nah. you don't have to tell me that. He's one of my faves too. I always felt like Pete Rock and Premiere had the most hypnotic beats but Dilla, No I.D., QD3 and Hi-Tek are some other really great producers that I don't think ever got their due.
Pete really makes me smile with his genuine character and whole being, like i see him geek out on sumthin and I jus want him to be sum 1 i see everyday and can talk about music with!
He needs 2 be a proffesor at a music college or atleast start his own ish 4 tha next generation ov children to learn from da best. Just tha best ov da best.....what else can u say! B-More has nuff respect 4 a livin legend. ONE-LUV!!!
the beat he was workin on in the very start of the vid was one of the best ive ever heard and it only lasted like 20 seconds thats the power of pete rock
PR is probably my all time favorite producer right now. There are many, many amazing hip hop producers out there for sure, but he just has the best combination of jazz, funk and bass. The Main Ingredient is one of the most slept on album of the 90's. Never. Gets. Old.
Finally got the Vicki Sue Robinson joint "Hope Your Feelings Are Like Mine" that he sampled. Wished he would have used it in a record.......I would have loved that record too just because of the beat.
Damn! I've watched this video and other beatmakin' videos on RUclips a few times now... and what comes to mind is how all the great hip-hop producers (DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Marley Marl, 9th Wonder, Kev Brown, etc. etc.) just make beatmakin' look so easy. If you look at what Rock's doing it might look like nothing, but really it's a hard task to build up a sample-based beat, and make all the elements of the song work. Respect and props to all the legendary hip-hop producers from me! :-)
YOOOOO this came on a DVD with a magazine I remember getting this in the mail when I was in High School (I think?) and wow this brings back memories!!!
One of the greatest producers in history im tellin ya 💯🎹 he too talented wit da MPC, made memories wit da samplin and music releases. I like how old dis video was uploaded too
It looks easy cause they're just pressing buttons. But this is actually a craft. knowing how and what to do and being able to execute it is skill. not easy even though it may appear that way. That's why they're so good, they make it look simple and easy enough for anyone to do.
After a long time of waiting to find out the beat @ 4:14 a friend played it when i was over his house. I along with many others was yearning to hear the entire instrumental because the little taste of it in this video just isnt enough. To all you Poets, Producers, hip hop heads, and even lay men to the art that have yet to find it.....i give you with great pleasure, Pete's Piano Instrumental!!! Just copy and paste this and enjoy. Pete Rock - Piano Instrumental ( Rare & Unreleased )
Bruhhhh he just taught me how to do that trick with the kicks that all the old snoop beats have, what more can I say, I wouldn’t be here today if the old school didn’t pave the way!!!

People skilled in an art always make it look easy. But behind that skill are thousands of hours of practice and work.
You're right 100%... I start with beatmaking 4 months ago and... OMG... So hard... But sooooooooooo nice when you do well :-D
Amen to that! If it was easy, everybody would do it! "People are rewarded in public for what they've practiced in years" - Tony Robbins! :) Bless

Exactly wow
sad and weird. RIP
Stfu...i hate how u weirdos have to make EVERYTHING about Dilla! Pete Rock was a legend before anybody knew who the fuck Dilla was.....

almost sounds like some current detroit shit or some late 90s ny shit... versatility

don't underestimate it, working with an mpc demands more skill than a lot of instrumental musicians would care to admit...
10 years later and you are absolutely correct.

Yeah Soulja Boy pretty much killed the production aspect of hip hop and you get what you hear on the radio now...tisk
Sad....but i get excited when i hear classic throwback being played on the air...90's and mid 2000's music
they cut even those to a bare minimum, like it has to be somebody's birthday or death for that to happen
Damn crazy how takes and the topics themselves can change
We gotta bring it back

I have to add the RZA, Diamond D (my personal all-time favorite), and Devastatin’ to that list. Peace.
He's still 1 of the dopest producers!
That last flip is crazy. Pete and Jay Dee could’ve produced acts like Sade etc solely with the MPC and make it sound like a band.
bro it is nonsensical that Pete heard fucking Love Is a Battlefield and was like yea imma freak this motherfucker
Pete really makes me smile with his genuine character and whole being, like i see him geek out on sumthin and I jus want him to be sum 1 i see everyday and can talk about music with!
What an awesome producer. I work daily on my beats to get to that super producer level.

Passion and love is there

That beat is Jesus Christ
i like how he keeps to the old school hip hop sound. he isnt a sellout. mad respect pete rock
Pete Rock is a living legend for sure.
Pete Rock is a genius. You can see how much he loves music by what he creates
Still one of my favorites videos to this date. That Pat Benatar chop is ridiculous!!!
that piano joint is insane! PR is one of the greatest ever.
So weird to see "uploaded 10 years ago"

damn the way hip hop music is produced is so creative i love hip hop
This video never gets old.
Pete Rock is musical genius really breaking down the elements of music!! I love music just listen to Nas The World Is Yours

this is why I love hip hop !!! I almost can cry fam its that deep ! trueskool 4lifE!!!!!
I remember watching this before I knew about chopping or sampling period. This was one of the videos that inspired me to start producing
I still pull this video up every few years to catch a vibe
O.G. right here
"Whenever I hear the best parts of a record I take it"
The Sample @4:37 is Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield
that's the only one I could catch..just in case :)
Do you know which instrumental he made of it? Thank you by the way!
Real inspiration, Pete Rock, one of the best!

Pete Rock is, and forever will be, a legend. I highly doubt anyone else can match his genius and accomplish what he did for the genre.
04:15
Great video, nice to see him outline his style and some of his history.
Amazzzing music , he is a true artist I wish he made that remix at the end a song on one of his CDs. Great job!!!!!!!!
Pete's casually like "When I was 17 I signed with Elektra." O_O
4:14....... GAME OVEERRRRR holy shEEEEEEEEEEt

Definitely one of the best producers of all time.
Beat at 4 min 15 sec is mad pete rock!!
Making the beat is the easy part, clearing the sample is the hard part.
@Dess Milli but then that's removing the backbone of hip hop. Samples are one of the things that make hip hop, hip hop.
