I used these visuals (    • The Roots & Mobb Deep - Burn & Shook Ones ...   ) instead of the official video because I don’t want to get copyrighted again. This performance of the track is actually nuts, it’s from a set with The Roots playing the beat using live instruments, and it just sounds crazy I can’t imagine the atmosphere of actually being there.

I bugged out crazily when I first made this beat, I couldn’t believe the loop I flipped and was just vibing out, sending snippets to all my close friends who are into Hip Hop. Because of this I really really rushed mixing it, I just wanted to get it saved on my computer and in retrospect, I’ve always been really unhappy with how it sounded. The main problem for me was the high frequencies, which I thought were too loud and ruined the other parts of the mix, which was a shame. At the time I didn’t notice it too much but something definitely sounded off, but I’ve learnt a lot since then and I’ve been wanting to improve the mix on this beat for a while. There’s only so much you can do with a bad mix (I never actually saved the beat cause my MPC disk drive was broken back then) so it’s been pretty difficult to get this beat sounding how I would have liked it to, but I think it sounds a lot better than it did.

Here’s the original for comparison:   / my-mind-is-old
