STBB #836 - David Axelrod

One of my (and most of hip hop's) favorite composers, David Axelrod, is this week's sample. His stuff is packed with great sample ideas. I haven't been a part of the STBB community long enough to know whether or not he's already been used (more than likely), so I went on the hunt to get his last, self-titled, album.

Cool story behind the record. Even though it was released in 2001, the basics were recorded like 30 years prior. Dude was a badass and got shit done.

RULES
• 1-3 mins
• Use at least 2 non-drum samples. You can use drums, but the 2 samples have to have some sort of harmony/melody
• Outside everything is allowed! (no outside orchestras though :P)

We've had Axelrod. 716
 
Congrats on the win!

Only used an outside kick, sub bass and the one shot vocals. It could be a no outside samples week!

 
Filtered and rechopped a drum break on part of the album. Used the filtered low end as the driving harmony of the beat. Sampled a vocal chorus from the album also and tucked it in the background.

 
oiiii!!! hope everyone is doing well over here.

congrats on the win last week, Tom!

Had to duck out on that one, got pretty ill and had to rest.

was able to cook one up this week. plan on listening to everyone as well. much love y'all

 
Yo!

What's good peeps?

Nice sample this week,
chilled afternoon cook up. :blunted:
I took a real small chop selection, just 16 chops altogether.
Used the low end for the bass.
Pitched it up +3? added some drums. 16 level one of the horn chops for extra flavour.


:salute: 🖖 ☮️
Peace Mox.
 

Been awhile since I've participated in the beat battles but couldn't pass this opportunity to sample the legendary David Axelrod.
