STBB #750 BIZ

Sat Jul 17, 2021 7:46 am

STBB #750

so a friend just informed me that one of his favorite rappers had passed away..

Biz Markie R.I.P.

Image

in light of that happening I thought we could use some of his material for this week's challenge

I've put the keys to Just a Friend in there
and the track with the drumbreak of Young Girl Bluez
some Jay Dilla drums to sweeten it up a lil'

Samples: https://we.tl/t-DvDwcecXzV

flip the keys and use the drumbreak somehow
outside everything allowed.. other musical samples too as long as you don't get carried away
Biz Markie raps up to 4 lines. no whole aca's.. unless you wanna record a fresh rap on the subject yourself

have fun!

pz Joa

a friend with a good ear and sense of music told me the tutorial player played it undynamically and pressed..

if you want you may play the keys yourself or find an alternative version.

just use the samples, the dilla drumkit , put some snare of course, I put a bass on keys on the second part. All others sounds are from the just a friend tutorial,I chop it , put some fx on the first part on , and put the pitch on + twenty eight on the second. Then I have cut some vocals chops from the biz of course. Peace
- drumbreak is on the first part)

I used the keys as the main sample for chops and the acapella of "just a friend" on some parts.
The spanish track was tough to include so i just isolated the snare from it and layered it.
Not finally happy with the bass and some details but as I won´t find more time this week - let´s turn it up for the Biz



:peace:

Used the drum break to get the groove,layered some drums, samples the tutorial and used it to figure out the chord progression and the melody, played a simple bassline, Biz vocals on top. I'm pretty happy how it turned out. Hope you enjoy
RIP Biz Markie

Made some drums and loops with the chops
Chopped up the first part of the Keys. Pitched it up +1.
I also added some out side bass.

Hey All, I remember being so excited that I was able to record the Just a Friend video on VHS back in the day. I love the chorus when he is dressed up like Mozart and throws of his cape. I wish more artists had a sense of humor sometimes. Everybody is so serious. Lighten up man. Hope all are well.


Peace, Hugh

Super Biz. The biggest and baddest of them all. R.I.P. big man. Used Joa's samples, sampled some of biz, for extra respect.

Hey Ya'll,

Glad to be back after taking some time to work on my latest tape..
I gotta credit Joa for dragging me out for this one- we had a plan to collab but he ended up being busy so I whipped this up last min
Hope you dig it- it's all about BIZ.
