I see that cats are talking about Pete's "influence"....It better be there!! PETE TAUGHT ME HOW TO USE THE SP1200! We are REAL BROTHERS! Same Mother and Father so OF COURSE the "influence" and "similar sound" is there! I don't make beats anymore so there a quite a few cats that are better than me...but it's all good because I am a fan first! As long as dope music is being made...I am good with it! Peace to everyone who commented on here...good and bad. Peace!

The legend. I've watched this many times over the years.

Still here! For over ten years I’ve periodically come back to these 2 7 minutes of beat sessions! This is when redef could literally do no wrong and I’m never disappointed when I hear this!

I like how laid back Grap is when the beat at 1:35 is playing, one of the dopest instrumentals I’ve heard in a while

this dude is 1 of my favorites

That "Half Man Half Amazin" song is so beautiful

This is why I love hip hop...

This was one of the first beatmaking related video I ever came across, and one of the few I keep coming back at. Mesmerizing sound... I'm looking forward to hearing another ill project of yours. Much love from Italy!

I'll be forever grateful that Damu and Grap documented this dig through the floppies.If there was a hip hop version of the Voyager Golden Record that got sent into space,I would hope the two clips of this day would be on it.

So good, so golden... thanks for sharing all this!

Brilliant sounds and beats.

All the beats here are amazing and very unique. Love this!

YOOOO he needs to put out more instrumental tapes!

The EMU SP-1200 is the only thing I have ever loved, that is not my family! One day I will reunite with her.

You are awesome forreal please continue to bring more music.. much needed

Where is fire extinguisher.This is seven minutes of fiery instrumentals.🔥🔥🔥

I wonder if he picked it back up! Truly gifted producer!!

Man, the beat at 0:36 is mad amazing! I have so much love for all these cool guys man, grap, damu, pete, everybody. One of my dreams is to meet all of these wonderful beings. I'm sure I will someday, and when I do, I think I'll probably cry haha. PEACE AND LOVE to Mr. Greg and to all you radiant, fantastic knuckleheads out there sharing love for hiphop and life. PAZ.
