Dead*Beats : Bizness
Posted January 23rd, 2010 by Bamm
PREFACE: Beats die for various reasons. Wackness is the usual cause of death, but not always. Some of the beats I make die of old age, neglect, or even *gasp* viruses! Because I really only produce songs for the people on the Illamental team, a lot of beats don’t get used at all, even if they are/were bangers. Rather than let these beats continue to rot on my MPC, I’ve decided to at least attempt to give them some kind of shine before they are officially pronounced dead. Welcome to the Dead*Beats by Bamm Tronics.
“Bizness” is one of those beats that died of more than one cause. Old age was one of the causes of death, but the style of the beat created some additional complications. I found these Latin-ish horn loops on a record, and before I even sampled and chopped it up I already knew what I was getting myself into. The beat sounds “extra-joyous” which I must admit is not always the style of the Illamental kids. I figured I’d hold onto it for a while since I was thinking of expanding to producing for outside entities (that still ain’t panned out yet), but now this baby is the first on the Dead*Beats chopping block.
R.I.P., Bizness!
UPDATE: Right as I was about to start throwing dirt on Bizness, I looked closer and noticed the casket slowly opening, a hand emerging, holding a single argyle sock…
Bizness has been resurrected…
