Homework 61 - I Usually Rock Around 120 BPM

Ok the Little Brother sample flip challenge was dope, a lot of usual names missing from the mix (come on people!!) but still some great offerings including a full remix EP of little brother accas/samples from Evil Needle..crazy!, ok so this time round we're going to a homework suggestion and is a lot more open to interpretation and not necessarily sample based..lets do it.


Homework 61 - I Usually Rock About 120 BPM


*challenge suggested by S-TYPE

This week we figured going for something a little more different; poached form the "homework suggestions thread" over at the louisden forums S-TYPE suggested having a set BPM challenge rather than a sample theme or flip.

So why not try it out!, the rules are simple; make a beat at this particular tempo!!..theres a lot of scope for some cross genre business (thats not an invite to turn some europop or hiphouse!), just try and keep it funky, to inspire you here are some 110+ BPM hiphop joints you would have heard in the past (just a random selection


LINKS/RESOURCES
A few songs 110 BPM+ to get some ideas!!
De La Soul - A Rollerskating Jam Named Saturday
De La Soul - Me Myself and I
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - The Creator
Wu Tang - Gravel Pit
EPMD Ft LL - Rampage
Joe Budden ft Busta Rhymes - Fire



RULES

To turn in a fresh beat (samples/non sampled anythings cool) which is at 120 BPM, email entries to homework@louisden.com, ideally attach the mp3 straight we dont really want to be messing with download wait limits and captcha codes!.



DEADLINE

23rd May 2010 (extended!), lab session will be around 18:00 we dont wanna chase links in the session!!..we'll be broadcasting live from the lab at http://tinyurl.com/ldbblive newcomers are welcome!! just email your beats over and get in!.



peace
