I Tried Remaking Q-Tip’s “Illmatic” Pause Tape | NEVER AGAIN
🕑 Added 2023-11-29 08:21:52 +0000 UTCToday we’re diving into the Nas song “One Love”, which was produced by Q Tip, recreating the beat entirely from scratch - seriously I’ve got the vinyl and I’m gonna try my hand at pause taping it - and seeing how this roster of incredible producers influenced each other to make their own songs better.

Yes, I should have had a different tape deck for this - BUT - this actually ended up being a fun night. 10/10 would recommend. Maybe I'll livestream the next one 😂
