“That Box” is track number 4 on Tech N9ne’s Misery Love Kompany. Which was release back in 2007 (3 years ago already…damn)..
WEAPONS OF CHOICE:
* MPC 2000
* Ensonique Halo> http://www.vintagesynth.com/ensoniq/halo.php
* Korg MicorKorg> http://www.vintagesynth.com/korg/microkorg.php
Beat was made in 2006. At that time i was really heavy into HARDWARE and was cranking out beats that way with and analog mixer ( http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/MX9000.aspx) Which i still have to this day but dont use anymore due to its lame ass unreliable and EXPENSIVE as hell to replace ASS Power Supply….
It really wasnt nothing to make this beat…. any of you that do make beats probably could tell that… but more than likely you might not have heard anything like it..even with its cheapish sound..lol
Very inexperience at the time as far as separating the stems, (Tracking instruments out) i mixdown the all the sounds that came from the Halo (Strings,bells,pizzicatos) one track smh.
SO..the masters only consisted 4 wav files (BEATBOX SAMPLE,SNAPS,MICOKORG LEAD, AND THE HALO SOUND)(Lazy? or inexperienced)…..smh
BUT Rob Rebeck the engineer for that whole album was able to work some magic.. but iam sure the female singing my strings melody was an attempt to bring them out…in which i felt it was a success.
Very simple track… nothing special really….. but VERY unique and original…

“I Can Feel It” is track #9 off of Misery Love Kompany.
This probably my favorite track off the album that i produced. With its eerie vibe mixed with a pinch of distorted guitar and horrorish,susupenseful,drama soundtrackish presents makes for a good story to be told over it.
Tech N9ne, The Philsta, and Agginy (Who went the hardest on her verse)IMO lyrically paints a picture about infidelity in relationships.. a rarely tapped subject in hip hop then and knowadays…
WEAPON OF CHOICE:
-REASON 3.0
- REASON FACTORY SOUNDS (LOL EAT ME!!!)
The original beat had a reason fill guitar on guitar parts… it didnt sound authentic so Rob Rebeck (the Engineer) replay the guitar part with a “real guitar”
What i like some much about this beat is the woodwind instruments in the begining… Reminiscent of a sample that you would think came from a Asian kung fu movie BUT ….its not a sample … played that… Reason had the cool ass flute that sounded very vintage and with a little reverb added in…. IT SOUND SOOOO COOL even by itself.. Cinematic sounding.
The drum sounds where tookin from a song by The Beatnuts”What Out Now” (Click the Title to see where the “drum kit” came from)at the very begining of their song..I chop the drums into there individual hits then only used the kick and snare.. I LOVE THAT KIT –
Overall it one of my favorite beats and one of my favorite song ive ever produced (top 10)
