Clinton Leonard Definitely. This is the most impressive Rhythm Roulette I have seen. Most of the time, you can listen to the resulting beat at the end and you can pick out all of the samples. Sometimes a sample from one of the records is a major piece of the composition of the beat. But in El-P's, you really have to listen to where the samples are and it is distinctly El-P production that could fit on any album he has produced.

"Fuck you, here's a beat" after messing around with broken equipment, warped records and questionable record grabs and the beat is insane, awesome and like nothing I have ever heard.

It's a massive clusterfuck of aggressive massive sounds that once put together make a beautiful but rough soundscape. He is his beats. His studio, his life, the way he looks ect. You can't mistake an El-P beat, you just know its him. There's a reason he's considered one of hip hops super producer. He made his own path, created his own style. That's not to take away from the producers you mentioned but El-P didn't follow the trends and the standard hip hop sound that all these dudes created. he brought something new to the table.

You're right, we actually gave him Leon Haywood on purpose, thereby defeating the whole concept of this franchise.

The great think is that El P found his own voice, even at the beginning of his career he used a lot of electronics, and had a clear vision. A lot of producers (and musicians with traditional instruments) just try to sound like their idols without bringing anything new on the table. Btw my favourite producer is Edan, his "the beauty and the beat" album sounds crazy. El p, doom, edan, madlib are great talents

Good lord, this is what it sounds like when he just pulls a beat out his ass? With samples he hates no less. Fucking outrageous.

this is a glowing example of the right person with the right tools and materials

El just being hip hop's grumpy grandpa is hilarious

Damn you El-P and your glorious cigarette smoke! Seriously though, I cannot understate the production prowess of El-P, runthejewels may have just saved my life (no exaggeration). Thank you brother. P.S. I quit smoking cigs about a year ago and there were weeks, months even of excruciating torture. I cannot overstate this, if you don't smoke cigs, DO NOT START, if you already smoke cigs, enjoy every puff, every cigarette, every bit of relaxation and clarity you feel... but realize the truth, embrace the truth, you are engaging in active suicide. If you dont want to quit, don't. If you do want to quit, do every mother fucking thing in your power, it will not be easy, at all, but you can do it. One thing to keep in mind, you are going to feel a hell of a lot WORSE for awhile (physically, emotionally, psychologically, even spiritually - I was truly shocked) that what happens when poison is leaving the body. I used to smoke a pack and a half of Newport 100's a day, sometimes more...and while I no longer have that instant relief (smoking cigs is in a way a type of meditation) I'm starting to grow and feel different than I ever could while smoking cigarettes, more in control, more powerful even.

I can tell how much I love his work ❤️💜💜😭

"Just basically a process of experimentation, editing, and weed".

hes a genius. he was ahead of his time when he was in company flow, and in 2014 he is still way tooo advanced. wish he produced me some beats lol

The cat snoozin’ during that beat forge is the chillest creature on Earth.

30 seconds and I fell in love with this show

Even with broken equipment he still made a dope beat than most cats in the game.I LOVE El-P,and no one can tell me different!

Man 2012-2013 El was mad New Yohk! Cranky, ornery, perennially annoyed and just gaddamn fantastic. He seems to have mellowed out a lot... the bag’ll do that to you. 😁

I am now enlightened, bless the music

Amazing producer. Hadnt listened to hip hop in many yrs. Heard a few of his tracks and im hooked again

Dude this is insane, the creative flow is crazy.

That undulating, ghostly vocal sample in the background is godly

el-p is one of a kind. I wish we had more, but I'm glad we have one.

This needs to be available to download.. Love this beat

And, that is why El-P is the greatest of all time.

Where is te full beat, Mas Appeal needs to post these beats on soundcloud. Ridiculoid

The way EL-P makes records is the same way I write poetry and novels. Artistic transmutation of music. You first isolate a sound in your head then imagine it in a new context where it can work.

Master at work So much fun to watch

It’s interesting to see what El-P’s ear picks out for a sample

I'd love to see Edan on this type of program.

It's cool getting to see everybody's set up

I come back to this vid every now and then because of how sick el-p is

I don’t even need to hear anything that fact he is drinking a Modelo I already know this dude is ligit and has a permanent invite to the carne asada lol 👍💯

He is my favorite producer ever, since Company Flow i've always loved that abstract, obscure, experimental kind of electronic apocaliptic sound, the best!!
