On those beats I mostly used the Motif....and the bass was from my JP8000..drums MPC..but the drum samples were just some half ass shit I sampled...I have some decent drums now though....back then I just wanted some sounds to fool around with

I remember you posting up this shit before. Besides the first two beats which sound the best IMO, I like that beat at 3:07. That clav is fucking funky, it sounds like it's laughing. haha

I don't know about "chicano," I think their universal. I mean if you wanted to, you "could" have a black rapper over them. What part of those beats make them sound Chicano to you?

In that last collection of beats you posted, at 5:13, that synth lead sounds Chicano. LOL

in a beat contest, Battleram said my beat sounded R&B so we was suppose to go head up...and this was directed at him especially beginning...it was all in fun though...and that wasnt internet recordings.....but anyways naw I dont sell beats, not even interested in selling beats either, my homie sells beats, and its not really worth it sometimes..all the hassles and shit...

I personally don't use many samples, usually only for percussion and single-shot type sounds. Any melody, I prefer to create myself. The only reasons why I usually don't sample much is because I'm honestly just too lazy to search, too dis-organized in the fashion of how I organize my samples, and lazy as well to edit them. Also lets say I use a sampled Piano loop, guitar loop or similiar sampled melody, I have a hard time adding in my own sounds and making it all fit right with the sampled melody.

The thing I do like about samples though is that it usually gives your beat a raw, dirty, dusty, sound. I love that lo-fi sound you hear in a lot of older beats, vinyl dust,etc... It just gives that imperfect sound which is great for hiphop. I also don't mind hearing samples that ain't looped perfectly, the ones that have a little gap or cutoff space before it loops, just because it adds that imperfection to the sample.

What I really want to start doing though is sampling drumbeats, then just flip them around to my likings. Reason being, so I can get that dirty more acoustic sound and so all my percussion sounds nicely glued together which I have a hard time doing with single-shot sounds. It's kind of hard to find drumbeats just by themselves though, usually there's a bassline over them or something else.

reverb and bitcrusher can do that to your one shots.
