fade to…………no retirement.
Classic video of Timbaland in the studio with Jay-Z from his well publicized Fade to Black DVD. I still can’t understand how Jay-Z didn’t pick the first beat(flute’s were just crazy), which eventually went to Brandy, but I guess you get Timbo to play enough beats and a number 1 hit will jump out the [...]

aftermath..the westcoast dream!
Check this video with Aftermath producer Focus. THIS VIDEO IS MY DREAM. I don’t need to say much more. Love seeing producers who play a few instruments cause it always adds more to the equation. Focus also discusses his need for HANDS ON production. “gotta touch it”, I can’t do the keyboard and mouse thing [...]
DJ TOOMP…hardware VS software
Just a quick video for you. DJ Toomp goes through the never ending battle of hardware VS software, I have to agree with him when it comes to re-sampling drums off the MPC!

b.cox and jermaine in the studio..making hits. kneticBLOG
Some nice studio footage of multi-talented producer Brian Michael Cox and Mr.So So Def himself, Jermaine Dupri. B.Cox builds the beat around a smooth gospelish chord progression. The track is very much in his style but it’s always nice to see the creative process. I especially enjoyed Jermaine going on about the number of drum [...]
