Real Hip Hop by Tapehead published on 2021-10-09T20:06:58Z Instrumental: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/real-hip-hop-instrumental Beat, mixing and mastering by Tapehead Vocals from ‘Real Hip Hop Acapella’ by Das EFX Visuals: https://youtu.be/cUcr3d8acSs This is a rework of a really old beat, and one of the first remixes I ever put together. I remember being very happy with how Das EFX sounded over this beat, and I’m glad it still fits listening back (just needed a lot of work mixing wise) but the concept was still dope to me. That’s definitely cause this is a bass heavy beat, and that fits Das EFX’s sound crazily well, they had some of the hardest hitting beats in the 90s for sure and their voices have this mad presence which to me always needs a hardcore sounding boom bap beat, I wouldn’t personally put them over a lofi beat for example. To me the dopest thing about them as artists is the energy they bring to the mic, the whole ‘diggity’ style was bitten so crazily throughout the 90s but only they can really pull it off without sounding corny, and it’s actually aged mad well in my opinion and still sounds great over a beat. I had to do a lot of work to sort out the mix on this sample, I was getting waved all the time when I flipped it, and was very inexperienced on the MPC, so I recorded it way too loud and there’s a ton of clipping to the bass sample because of that. I tried to fix it by having two tracks for the sample, one with all the highs filtered out which got rid of the clipping easy, and then one with no lows and a lot of EQ on the highs to try and get rid of the clipping. I think it came out pretty nice, and for sure way way better than the original mix, which is stupid rough cause of how waved and inexperienced I was back then. It’s always nice to improve on these early beats, really shows me that I have learnt a lot over these years of producing, and hopefully in a few more years I’ll feel the same looking back on these mixes.
