Making a beat on the SP1200 | Chief Rugged's 12Bit Madness #9 

Pete Rock's Return of the SP1200 album sparked my interest in this beautiful machine

That thing has New York built into it's circuits tho

The limitations force you to be uber creative with these oldskool samplers.

5 yrs later and i still luv this mix.....

that sound like some 1990s NY joints right there, I love it

Thats one of the first beats ive heard in a long time made by a producer these days that sounds legit oldschool mad props most people these days don't seem to have the patience to mess with equipment like that

Every time I see one of these kind of videos my broke ass wants an SP-1200 lol

Samples used: Sample : Artist - Album(Year) - Song - YT Link Sample 1(Drum break): Beat Brechbühl & Jürg Grau ‎- Gras Ist Gras (1980) - Navier April - (YT does not have it, very rare on the net) Sample 2 (Sleigh Bells): Bert Kaempfert And His Orchestra ‎- Christmas Wonderland (1973) - Sleigh Ride - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4AZUprMPUkM.html Sample 3 (Chords): Space - Magic Fly (1977) - Carry On, Turn Me On - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5FPppeIC2cA.html Sample 4 (Sax EFX): John Klemmer - Eruptions (1970) - Summer Song - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sPhEKIgv9A0.html Took a while, but I found it! 😁 You're incredible man, really.

Since 2010. This is the first proper uniquely official beat making video I seent on youtubez. Man that was pure bliss, start to finish. I was so tired of "How to make a HIPHOP Beat Tutorial". You don't get tutorials in hiphop, you follow the feeling and make it.

Just the fact that you're not blabbin and doing a bunch of unnecessary talkin I appreciate deeply...Been awhile since I've worked outside the box, nice to see it unfold so smoothly...peace and blessings to you.

Legendary drum sampling machine.

It's 1995 up in here!

If only Big L were still around...

yeah! 90's feel 4 sure.. reminds me of Lord Finesse.

The 12 bit monster. It's crazy how the sample artifacts add that warmth. I bet they didn't realise how nice it was back then. Now we have that sterile perfect software sound.

The sound of the sp1200 is so unique

This sounds a lot like something Lord Finesse would make

NICE! REMEMBER IT'S NOT WHAT YOU USE, IT'S HOW YOU PRODUCE.

AH yes! nostalgia !- back when we had to WORK to make music- a bit laborious, but once done, CLASSIC!

that mutilevel delay type trick for the second horn is pretty creative

reminds of good old days of Future Sound Of Jazz compilations. Really love the combination of samples - pure feels and atmosphere! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Just like the 808 and 909, some of these samplers are just magical, the AKAI 950, the MPC60 and the SP1200, all different sounds, all feels "real", never could replicate this with software

Ed O.G. & Da Bulldogs 🔈

Now that’s some classic hip hop beats. Solid.

love the grittiness of the sp1200. love the classic vibe of this

Awesome!!!, simply beautiful!

Good god almighty! This beat is a 90's vibe.

enjoyed this one! always love that SP 12bit goodness!

my neck is wrecked from nodding to this beat.

Beautiful!! Love it

Working that 12bit magic cracking beat yes yes more of these vids please bro !!!

When a beat just makes you smile ☺

this sounds like something Lord Finesse would make, i could imagine Big L freestyling over this, alive or dead. Love it man, ive always wanted to see the process of old school producers making their beats and i guess this is it! Keep it up! :)

So much life in this beat. Beautiful

had to come back and listen to this beat again. absolutely love this flip!!

Xcellent,man i fully enjoyed getting in to working with the classic machines...damn yo,brought back some Dope memories,recording back in the day.great camera work/editing also.keep kikn azz!!! THANX.

yeah more pls, using those classic equipment so nicely AKAI s950 with the SP1200 COOL MAN

the real and original hip hop sound

Excellent video dude. appreciate you posting it. Peace

Great job bro this is banging!!!

That Space sample is golden & of course, when it comes to horns, you can’t go wrong with some John Klemmer.

always wanted to see how beats were made in the 90's since they didn't have computer softwares like what we got now... nice video bro

I can hear cypress hill flowing to this especially cuz of the horns ..1992-1993 type of feel

This is the spirit of hip hop. It's a collage. It's inspiration

that crunch and filter combo is unmatched.

Got the vibe right away, amazing🔥

INCREDIBLE!!!

man thats fly glad to see this in 2018. big respect

This is really inspiring stuff! 🔥🔥

Old school inspiration 100!!!

Lord finesse 🎼🎼🎼

90’s all over again..!!

Classic! Keep the videos coming

AWESOME...

damn!!! that beat is hella 🔥! great demonstration of sp techniques and tricks! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

The sleigh bells are the icing on what is a very tasty cake. Yum.

Being born in the early 2000s and liking this music is extremely lonely. My dad got me jamming to this music before I could even walk, newer hits are mostly always disappointing.

You work dat machine blind folded, squeezing its juice!

best moment when you active the Swing. Dope video

This is the best Sp1200 tutorial video on YT🔥🔥🔥

From north afrika need more of your magic lo fi sounds...congratulation!!!

Amazing⚡️

Fairlight feeling ... Great!

This is my new favourite thing on the interwebs

This is something that would play at the start of an episode of Stretch and Bobbito circa 1993...89Tec9, this is the Stretch Armstrong Showwwww....I am your host Bobbito

ahhhh. that brings me memories. I still own an Alesis midiverb II lying around somewhere

God this takes me back!!! Good Sh*t Bro!!! This is how we use to do it! Subbed!!!!

This thing is a time machine

This is so fascinating as someone who has no knowledge on making music....so cool to see it all come together. I was jamming out to the part where they were just adjusting the pitch...
