Rhythm Roulette: Mr. Porter | Mass Appeal
Ойын-сауық
For this episode of Rhythm Roulette, MASS APPEAL met up with one of Detroit's illest, Denaun Porter. As an original member of D12, Mr. Porter has played an instrumental role in Eminem's career and the history of Shady Records. His time with Em goes all the way back to the MC's 1996 debut, 'Infinite,' and Porter has handled many tracks over the years for the MC and his crew, D12. Let's also not forget Porter's work for G-Unit, because he was behind the beats for such classics as 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P." and the group's "Stunt 101." Other collaborators over the years include Busta Rhymes, Xzibit and Jadakiss.
Who knows where Em would be without Mr. Porter? As his trusted hypeman on tour, Porter truly knows how to turn it up a notch. And that is exactly what he did for this episode of Rhythm Roulette.
Making a daring leap in the history of RR, Porter remembers that when he was coming up, he only enough money for one record. So in that spirit, he took his chances and only pulled one piece of vinyl from Amoeba Music in Los Angeles.
He ended up with some soulful disco from 1977, a sound that most producers stay away from, but you'll be surprised to see how he flipped it…into three different beats! Watch the full video above.

Do you know how confident one has to be in their skill set to disavow the rules and pick one record and then one song off the whole album to chop up?! Mr. Porter takes the #1 with ease that was bananas!!
I hate saying this but, he just low key just smashed every producer that has done Rhythm Roulette.

i agree with you... the range of hiphop he got was dope... thus 9th was dope he only did what 9th does didnt really venture into other styles like he did plus porter took less time with one sample... most of the other producers wouldve trashed this sample but this guy made gold with it... its all up to the ear really... fav one next to black milk
Pure talent. Made 3 tracks off of one sampled song and could easily sell them for 5 or 10 grand a piece...

Listen, I have NEVER in the history of EVER heard anything wack coming out of Detroit. Detroit musicians and artist period are some of my biggest inspiration and have ALWAYS encouraged me to think way out of the box.
Mr. Porter is not just your average producer he is a creator and he can sing too...
The fact he picked one record and made a beat for each lady is crazy. Mr porter is one of my fav producers
Dude came out the gate with straight fire. He had more to show in only 6 minutes from one record than any other producer has shown in 10 minutes with three records.

The movies you make and seeing all these guys have such fun with the beats their make is a great source of inspiration, thanks for that.

Someone who can actually chop and manipulate samples.

Normally I watch these without a comment. But this dude right here got a sound and style that's refreshing to see and hear. I like the unorthodox beats and the high energy productivity
wow, all 3 beats put me in a neck cast. bonus points for using only 1 album to make 3 bangers!!
he gave us the grimy backpack head nod beat, then the new mumble rap type of beat and then he gave us a universal beat that can go mainstream with Kendrick on it or something.
