Rhythm Roulette: Erick The Architect | Mass Appeal 

This man doesn't get enough credit for the work he puts in on those beats

I love how Meech just chilling enjoying the art being made it's great

Erick Arc = one of the best producers Meech = one of the best lyricists juice = one of the best flows in the game

The beat he created suited his style well, already could hear darko on the track lol

I'm a huge Flatbush fan. I think Erick is a genius

Damn he got the record with the “lift yourself” sample

erick is so underated seriously

His face looks like a young snoop dogg

He look like Snoop Dogg and Andre 3000 had a love child lmao

This may be the best 3 records I have ever seen someone pick fro pure samplability.

Imagine if 9th wonder would have had the same selection as him. 🔥

Diggin that Gorillaz shirt Erick is weraring

erick's got fire taste in literally everything from his clothes to his music

I've been waiting for this one. Had to put my headphones on for this. To hear each sound clearly.

Just found this Rhythm Roulette series today. Love when their heads just start bouncing because they know they have something. Awesome concept and introducing to so many new artists.

Architect dope as fck for putting that together like that

Man this guy is so talented it's unreal

the amount of requests this had.. big ups to massappeal and Erick for getting this one out! #inspired

I wanted to skip ahead and listen to the finished product so bad, but I'm madly in love with the process of how he's creating this beat. Erik's definitely becoming one of my favorite producers for sure, good shit bro!

Their album is one of 2016 best already.

Dan the Automator needs to be here.

Holy shit, that Amnesty album is the same one Kanye sampled for Lift Yourself.

diamond d, muggs, necro, alchemist, marley marl, teddy riley, jermaine dupri ...I would like to see you guys do episodes with those legendary producers.

Id say he is genuinely top 5 producers in regards to rap beats atm - so much depth soul and can make anything sound amazing!

NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO SEE THE DAY

Erick's got a copy of "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass behind the spiderman bobblehead in the clip starting at 4:14, if any of you guys reading this are psych-heads you definitely need to add that book to your collection of trip-items to keep nearby, I swear it has the secrets of the universe within it, I'm really not surprised the Zombies have a copy!! Too real

Those Gorillaz figures though

I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD COME. THANK YOU MASS APPEAL, THANK YOU ERICK

That was Jackpot of picks. Marvin,Diana and Mike.

I've sampled that Jackson 5 record myself in the past. I'm SHOCKED that's all he pulled from that record. It has LOTS of dope moments he could've sampled.

Atmosphere did that first sample in "Between The Lines"

That last album was my fav as a very little kid! Takes me so far back!

Hold up. Is that a Vacation in Hell ashtray? If so, two damn years in the future. sheesh

so dope how he uses the keys and his sampling is crazy

I WAITED FOR THIS DAY FOR SO LONG

the title "Free your mind" pops up, as he inhales...dope cut whomever pieced this together.

What the fuck. So underrated.

they need to start picking stuff from $1 bins and stop being able to go straight to a certain section, THEN putting on the blindfold. Put the blindfold on, then go pick random records from different sections. Dudes are scared of picking up stuff they can't fuck with it, so they go straight to a section where they pick up classic records to make beats from. That's whack

With Erick saying that both the records and the cables being messed up, he basically told y'all that it didn't sound as good as he wanted it to. He's a good producer that was met with a few technical difficulties and worked well (in my opinion) with what he was given.

Dope...the beat is smokin music....

Shit's fucking crazy! That Amnesty record is where Kanye got his Lift Yourself sample from as well haha

2021 still underrated

AND I JUST MIGHT JUST LOVE SOMEBODY AND I JUST MIGHT JUST.... Am I the only one who recognized that same sample, but used nearly 20 years ago? #LucyFord

I'm still listening to that Khrysis joint over and over. Best RR in my opinion.

Best producer of the past decade

Hes still made it work, i glade i met the Flatbush zombies and TAN Boyz

OMG THEY MADE ONE WITH ERICK YES

FINALLY THIS HAS BEEN TOP REQUEST FOT THE LONGEST

My favorite part is 4:30 to 5:10 damn that was fucking insane!!

one of the most underrated producers yet, period. zombie gangggg

we need a kanye and madlib

You realizes that 1st track you played by the Jackson 5 is like the SHIT! I am Loooooove!

I’m 2 minutes in and I know this dude got an easy selection

Dude fucks withs gorrilaz even more respect for him dude, he's an amazing producer, rapper, and most of all story teller

couldn't like it cuz it was at 222 likes

What a Talent!

6:37 Time of the master piece

legend, him and fbz are so underrated erick deserves so much more recognition

that amnesty record is a now and again/STONES THROW joint, so its a reissue and he BARLEY got through the 1st song lol...but ah well...and I figured he would go back to that jackson 5 joint...alot of dope vocal stabs he could grabbed from that too...but ehh...producers like this are better off NOT sampling imo, but still dope to watch...

been waiting so long for this

No diss.... but he didn't do much with that DOPE-ASS record selection, son. Real talk. What ya'll think?

This shit is sick as fuck the architect is the best In the game both rapping and producing the sickest beats this dude is a true music fan

RANDOMBLACKDUDE

Thank you for getting Eric. Heres who gotta be next: -Alchemist -Madlib -Pete Rock -9th Wonder (again) -Rza -Kanye (very unlikely but ya never know) -DJ Premier (he doesnt do stuff like this but maybe Nas can work something out w his old friend) -Q tip -Timbaland -Pharrell -Havoc -Dr Dre (also very unlikely but...) -Earl sweatshirt (might be dope) -Mannie Fresh and Just Blaze (again...the sprite thing was not good for them) I think it might also be very interesting to see a notable trap producer and see if they can do something. Like imagine if Metro Boomin did this...idk if he could do it but I think it would be interesting.

omfg finally

That 3001 : A Laced Odyssey easter egg is golden

He has a copy of "Be Here Now" by that vinyl Spider-Man toy. That's really cool.

i only wish they had Meech spit a verse

when you produce and make a good beat sampling another song like in the video are you able to use that on a big platform without getting sued ?? or do you have to always contact the people that made the original music first?

one of the best producers living

can someone explain to me or give me a link on how to grab a noise from a song without all the other noises. example: like if I were to take a piano, horns, synthetic or something but just that noise

erik the arc forever one of the best

Come on Eric, bro you had the sickest selection, but the result ???not so great, too bad Black Milk need to comee= back and do this sh!t again

the same crib sine 2013 damn Erick much respect you have a phenomenal ear

You're My Biggest Inspiration Erick, I'll Never Stop Making Beats. Because Of You, I Know I'll Make It Somehow.

I guess some people just go around on youtube and thumbs down a shit load of videos.. smh This was Dope

This is like when you have all these dope samples to work with and every hit of that weed you take just takes you deeper into the pit of wackiness that when you straight and listen to your track you're like wtf is this shit.

All 3 records that he picked were the first one's in their respective row. All of them are incredibly popular artists that are sample friendly, and he STILL produced some wack shit against all odds.

Damn, what else were those keys sampled in? Or did they end up releasing this as a song? Sounds so familiar

man, I have been waiting this for a while!

kinda expected more, would have been nice to hear a verse. shouts to KRIT tho

love the distortion on the samples

Damn! Bro You Picked Some Good Albums That Jackson 5 Album Dope

knxwledge.

Watching this happy as hell 4 in tha mornin where i'm from. This stuff is the shit you have to watch straight up and stop whateva you doing

you could hear the distortion on the samples.. he had good records to use but the cables sabatoged his session... redo

I think I found my favorite series

OMG THANK U MASSAPEAL FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN

They say we Indigo's make pretty laid-back beats!

This has to be one of my favorite rhythm roulettes

So glad to see you guys have this session with Erick!

disappointing considering how long i've been waiting to see him on here...he picked 3 of the best records in the entire series (i wish he had ended with some more obscure stuff) and still the samples were just.......eh? 😕

imma love this before ive even seen it

Gorillaz tee is too strong.

I remember when this first dropped there was a lot of talk, i liked this one then and now, dope shit ea.

nawwww it aint the cables

This what I been waiting for

This whole shit was buns...

one of the most overlooked

The selection was great but the outcome was disappointing. =(
