"Flavor in Your Ear" changed everything bro. It changed it all. Big shout out to Easy Mo bee Yo. That record was unlike anything you had ever heard from the blaring siren to the horn to the way Mack approached it.
DJ Scratch
Mo Bee is another producer that he changed the game. East Mo Bee basically taught us that we can make music out of different sounds. We can take one sound and make a whole different pattern and just make a whole nother just a section of music out of one sound.
3: "Electric Relaxation" by A Tribe Called Quest
DJ Scratch:
We were bugging out because the three Bar loop as a producer, we were taught not to do that. Make sure it's four bars or eight bars or if you want to do a 16 bar loop, but Q-tip broke the rules.

DJ Scratch:
This is one of those records that's a perfect Hip-Hop record
1: "Shook Ones Pt. II" by Mobb Deep
Cool:
Disgusting. Starting the record with the snare.
Havoc on "Shook Ones Pt. II"
I just want to say how honored I am to have Shook One's Part two by Mob Deep produced by myself, voted number one, Hip-Hop beat of all time. I remember being in the projects in Queensbridge, me and Prodigy just being there trying to make something for the world to hear our voice. And here we are this many years later, being saluted and held as the number one beat and hip hop greatest of all time. But I just want to say thank you to all the Hip-Hop fans, rest in peaces to my brother Prodigy. He would be just excited. As excited as I am, and I just want to thank all y'all fans, man. Salute.
