Is he slept on? I recall him getting all his proper respects, and he was one of THE go-to producers back then too.. his name rang just as loud, as the rest of the heavy hitters back then.
@@deafbyhiphop Now it is. I've had five from 93 to 2000. I still have two which I paid £800 & £900 for. £900 is the most I ever paid for one, back in 2000 ✌🏼
remember reading an article that he had to manipulate samples to make em sound unrecognizable since the label he was on wouldnt allow producers to sample n loop most artists. that forced him to become more creative with the sp1200
I didnt think a east past dude could rapp over a west coast style beat then I heard “Going back to Cali” I was like Poplockin time!!!! That was a dope mix n beat!!! I thought “Batlle cat” made that!!! Easy Mo Bee killed it!
Do you actually listen to hip hop? Rappers from both coasts rapped over everything. Ice Cube could make an album with the Bomb Squad, and Compton’s Most Wanted could make an album of basically all East Coast style break beats (Straight Checkin’ Em-slept on album). And then a group like EPMD could rap over a bunch of Zapp and Roger (they actually sampled this same beat 10 years earlier (“you gots to chill”). Daddy-O also rapped over this sample (“Brooklyn Bounce”). MC Breed had “ain’t no future in yo frontin”. Masta Ace had the Sittin’ on Chrome album, and the hit “born to roll”. So that’s just a few off the top of the head. And of course, a lot of the RnB, funk, and electro music came from the East Coast or Mid-West: Parliament Funkadelic came out of Michigan and Ohio, and Roger Troutman/Zapp came out of Ohio. And that early drum machine, electro bass-line stuff originated in New York, obviously, even though the pop n lock scene became synonymous with the West Coast. This idea of a division between the coasts was a bunch of late 90’s shit. New York was just a little snooty to any hip hop outside of the North-East for a long time because that was the birthplace, and they were the gatekeepers, rightfully so. Sorry for being pedantic, but I care about this stuff.
@@79Glitch i think masta ace was one of the very few from new york to really get that west coast flavor into his music. ur whole comment is correct tho
the is my home boy for years i remember being in his house when he did the beat for method man and biggie lafayette gardens stand up this man a hip hop beat making i con theatre dripp you tube
Man… this was one of the coldest beats ever and one of i top 10 Biggie songs. It’s also the song I wish Biggie never recorded. Rip Big! We miss you bruh!
I didn't realise Mo Bee did Going Back To Cali... I wonder if Biggie intentionally wanted Mo Bee to do that just to get into Pac's head even more. Allegedly BIG didn't like that Pac "stole" one of the Mo Bee beats BIG wanted for himself... Just the concept of this song would probably irked Pac and if he did it with Mo Bee even more so.
Wow. had no idea he did that on a sp1200 Why isn’t he talked about more often? Its really only him and dre. This sh-t i just saw is premium goat stuff.
