This dude wasn't bullshittin, no daw, no plug ins or drumkits, just an mp a turntable and a few records and got to business. Literally made something dope from nothing.

TRUTH!

Absolutely immaculate! Love how he didn't complain about any of the records before he listened to em.. ANYTHING could have some flippable ish! He even made the point of saying "I'm not gonna call it whack, just wasn't for me" ..what a dude!

First off it seems to me that he's in the minority of producers that actually randomly walk through the store blindfolded instead of standing in front of a particular genre and THEN putting on the blindfold. Then he got in there and went to work like he had an hour block of studio time. Didn't appear to use pre-loaded samples, everything seemed to come from the selected vinyl. On top of that, he opted out of the easy route by using a simple sound from the funk album as opposed to using it as a foundation for either track. Love his creative process. This is the type of work that I can really appreciate. Not to talk down on other artists' methods of production, but this minimalist approach is still dope to me. No computer, just an MPC, amp, monitors, vinyl, and turntable. #Respect bro.

Hey this guy didn't just walk over to the Soul and Jazz section of the store, then blind fold himself, pluck a record and act like it's "random". This guy went through store and was vulnerable to any genre. OLD SKOOL attitude, up for the challenge but he didn't rig himself to look good. Absolute props to this guy, MPC for life, YYYEAAAAAHHHHHHH BBBBBOOOOIIII!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, walking over to or close to the soul and jazz sections before the blindfold have forever been the loophole thats been exploited/used time and time again. yeah they didn't know what record they were gonna get in terms of the album or artist itself, but they knew which genre those records belonged to because soul and jazz in general are safe to sample for hip hop beatmakers/producers. they aren't up for stepping outside of that and ending up with shit like, i don't know, the residents or the stooges or mercyful fate or ryuichi sakamoto scores. just anything truly random and challenge themselves to sample from records outside of jazz/soul.

But does it really matter if they choose a genre they feel comfortable with? Random is random no matter the genre. Air quoting as if choosing without looking in a preferred genre, is not random. Some would say going to soundtracks /scores is cheating. Some would say other genres. Whatever they want to pull from man.

One of the best RRs I've seen. This guy does it right with the right attitude. Beats from scratch. Sees the gold where others may have thought it "whack." Masterful.

Plug & play, that's what it is!! The 3000 & a turntable, Low Budget style!! That's what created the boom bap we continue to push & make live on!! Nice work Gensu Dean!!

I always get amazed when I see people use an MPC the way he does. He got the technique down to a tee.

There's so may ways to approach making beats, but in my opinion this is the purest form done correctly! The second beat was hitting the hardest for me - dope!

OK Mass Appeal, this one instantly goes down as one of my favs!!! Straight old school, LOVED IT!!!

His energy was awesome. He must live a blessed life

So blessed to find a Rhythm Roulette with NO CUSSING! I can show this video to my elementary school students! Bless this gentleman and thanks for this series!!!

This was DOPE. More of these Vinyl and Hardware Prorducers. This is real Hip Hop!

Legend. Big L R.I.P had tracks by him so you know this going to be 🔥🔥🔥d.i.t.c I see you, salute!!!!

Perfect motivation for a snow day in NYC

Epitome of what rhythm roulette should be. A sampler and some records. Fire track.

I'd love to see BATTLECAT doing one of those !!

I was just saying to myself a couple of hours ago that we haven't had a new RR in a minute and then..... NOTIFICATION GANG!

It's always cool seeing folks chop on the old mpc's.

Big Fan of Gensu and to see him get it in was amazing and inspiring.

I love how he says his name, "I'm the Grand Incredible Gensu Dean."

you already know what school he represents by his style of cooking alone. Respect

Back to the essence. Bout damn time..Thank you.

Going through Gensu's discography for the next 7 seasons of my life

diggin in the crates

I've watched maybe 20 of these Rhythym Roulettes, maybe more, and I've been waiting for someone to SMELLLL the vinyls. I always smell the vinyls, that's how you can tell what era they are from!!!!! There is magic in that smell!

you got to love the producer that goes anywhere in the store versus straight to soul/funk salute

sampling and beat making has always fascinated md, taking something from a handful of records and making something completely new is just so amazing to witness. I've always secretly wanted to try and get into it but I wouldn't even know where to start haha.

Anthony Geonetta watch most of these as commented..if you have music ability or played a instrument then already got good start..remember samples from recorded artists is set in the traditional structure in a sense made in musical notation and melody..so you can be basic and just loop the sample or break it down and rebuild..just practice

I always watch this episode at least once a month. This brother killed it

Another dope rhythm roulette, *Thank you Mass Appeal!*

That's how it's done.The first beat already was better than 90% of what i usually see on these kind of videos.2nd beat shows you this man has great sense for interlocking rhythm and hooks.Great stuff.

its not the prettiest episode but its one of the BEST. This dude is the truth. WOW amazing work!

this guy is beast! didn't even know him 😱 he in my top 5 for sure

instantly liked. real producers, this what y'all should be showing all the time

Lucky with Society/Jefferson Airplane .. ^_^ I LOVE that recording!!!

dope addition to a dope series. love seeing the man & the mind at work.

Finally some real sh!t

Thank you derby🔥🔥🔥

Definitely dope when they crank out more than one beat.

Let me tell.yall something! This is what I'm talking about! Real hip hop! He got that get back! Thank you so much Rhythm roulette / Mass Appeal you guys are off the chain! Thank you Gensu Dean!!! I really needed that pick up right there!

Real dope, All he needed was the turntable and MPC. P.s Y'all need to get Alchemist on this already.

This made me a Gensu Dean fan.... true craftsman.

The results is magic, at it's purest form. No one method is better than the other, just create fire!

the best Rhythm Roulette I've seen. fantastic work. The second track is fire.

Nashiem Myrick 🙏🏼
