Young Problemz – Boi! Ft. Mike Jones & Gucci Mane

sweet dick vega — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:18:10 +0000

Crunk hip-hop with that heavy bass.

These Young Problemz dudes came out of nowhere, but this song is really dope. The beat is just ridiculous! Loving how it drops, similar to Weezy’s “Milli”.

Swizz Beatz – When I Step In The Club

sweet dick vega — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:28:52 +0000

Simple but hype hip-hop club jam.

When Swizz finds the right horns for his tracks, you can’t help but get hype! That’s how I feel about this song. Pretty simple beat, but it hits just right.

Now let me school you on some things….. Whoever produced this track sampled Galt MacDermot’s “Coffee Cold” as shown below. Doesn’t seem like they took it straight from the song, but replayed it for the beat.

You might remember this also being used by Handsome Boy Modeling School for their song “The Truth”. Such a classic.

And the God, Primo, also used this same sample, but chopped it up completely different. You can still tell it’s the same sample. But damn, he flipped it dope!!!

Paul Wall – Got To Get It

sweet dick vega — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:16:04 +0000

West coast type crunk shit.

Haven’t heard from this dude in a long ass time, but what a refreshing way to come back. Whoever made this beat killed it! Reminds me of some early 90s Dre or Eazy E shit.

Lyrics ain’t all that, but you know I’m all about beats kid!!!!

Alchemist “Smile” feat Twista & Maxwell

Sharpsound — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:44:36 +0000

Dope new track off the Alchemist album “Chemical Warfare” coming out 07-07-09

Overall the track is dope. Alchemist always comes hard with the beat and Twista rips the verse. The addition of Maxwell on the hook was a dope surprise. Excited to hear the rest of the album

NWA – Dope Man

Classic west coast hip-hop gangsta shit.

This beat is so ridiculous to me. The thick ass drums and the usual Dr. Dre whistles. Classic.

Chase & Status Ft. Kano – Against All Odds

sweet dick vega — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:19:28 +0000

Hip-Hop track with a funky ass beat.

Not only is this song killer, but the video is crazy dope!

Chase & Status feat. Kano – Against All Odds from Tim DnB on Vimeo.

The beat was well crafted with a classic breakbeat, Incredible Bongo Band’s “Apache”. So many people have used this, so its hard to stand out with some new shit. Chase & Status delivered nicely though.

Here is the original breakbeat:
