Beatmaking 101

Scratch DJ Academy gathered DJ Premier, Evil Dee, DJ Shok & host Reg E Gaines to expose beatmaking in its rawest form. The video is a solid 24 minutes but if you're interested in beatmaking like I am, the information in this video is invaluable.

Topics covered in Beatmaking 101:

1. Interpretation (4:22)
2. Making a Beat (9:45)
3. Inspiration (17:09)

If you're pressed for time, I've broken down the video into sections corresponding with their times. Check it out and expand you're hip-hop knowledge; you won't be disappointed.
