Love the free beats. If you're wondering (like I was, the Classic Beats song is "Run This Town" by Jay-Z himself. posted by dearsina at 6:27 AM on September 2
That Jay-Z commercial is pretty good. But what the hell's Rhapsody? posted by box at 6:27 AM on September 2
Free Beats was fun, and I'm going to enjoy exploring The Lost Beats.
I remember trying to MC over my Casio's bossa nova beat when I was a kid, after I heard Run DMC's King of Rock album. That was awkward. It was like I was pre-proto-hipster, but decided against it. posted by elmer benson at 6:37 AM on September 2
Lucky thing you decided against it, or you might've become M. Doughty. posted by box at 6:58 AM on September 2
Huh, was that Reggie Watts at about 1:20 in the Free Beats link?

Okay, I think the "Free Beats" link just restored my faith in humankind. Seriously, I really want to hug everyone in that. posted by Skot at 8:40 AM on September 2

Ghost Beats is some of the coolest instrument work I've seen. That's so great. posted by odinsdream at 9:34 AM on September 2
I should note that I was inspired to track down Bernard Purdie and Steve Gadd videos because of Aja DVD, which is chock full of greatness, like Rick Marotta and Chuck Rainey talking about the drum/bass groove on Peg. Truly inspiring stuff, especially when you see how happy everyone looks, especially Bernard Purdie chortling with glee and he builds up his grooves from parts right before your eyes, and everything is revealed, yet it's still magical. Great stuff. posted by SteelyDuran at 9:43 AM on September 2
