Alchemist, Hitting Skins off Snares.

That’s fun stuff. Beats and making them. Girls especially like when you talk about snares. They really dig it when guys talk about quantizing loops. That’s how I get most of my pussy. Wait… are you recording? Are we live? –Alchemist Sphere: Related Content

Big Boi – Gossip (ft. UGK, Big K.R.I.T.).

XV – AaaHH! Real Monsters (ft. ScHoolboy Q, B.o.B).

The sole takeaway from XV’s Popular Culture mixtape is this cut named for the old Nickelodeon cartoon, which, come to think of it, was an awesome show. I’ll leave you to ponder the logistics of Krumm, the monster who carries his eyeballs in his hands and rolls them around to..
