Because of the subtle nuances, this is actually one of the better videos I’ve ever scene… In this video, Havoc (of Mobb Deep) finds a complete phrase from off of a record, then he chops it up, modifies the pitch, and blammm! A new heater is made…

Great video, as it shows how meticulous the process can be, but how efficient the workflow can be when you have an ideas, instinct, and, well, the best “dummy-proof” machine ever built: the MPC 4000…
