God Made Me Funky


Hello, hello.
So for the last couple of weeks I have been working on these two beats and unlike my previous ones, I tried to make as much use of samples as I could. Even though I haven't fully finished them, most of the general idea is done.
The first one, called God Made Me Funky, includes a drum sample from a song called God Made Me Funky by Headhunters. Also, I used two other samples from the songs Getting it Back from Cymande and one song from the rap group Cypress Hill - I Wanna Get. The other one I named GOAT (Greatest of all Time), includes my original drum beat, while there are samples from the song Labi Siffre - I Got The.
Apart from Reason 4, the main program that I make use of while producing my beats, I also made use of Recycle, which is published by the same company as Reason, and they are compatible with each other. With Recycle, I can take parts of those songs and make samples out of them which can afterwards be easily used in Reason. With the use of Recycle, I have undertaken new challenges as this is a new program I have recently used. I have also developed new skills by making use of Recycle and Reason, together.
I will soon look to upload these beats that I am talking about.
