Old dogs and new tricks: For all the music heads, salivating producers and tech hypebeasts–YES, you read that right! A new web project is breaking ground on some classics and now you can Recreate Kanye, 9th Wonder, Dilla Beats with Original Samples!

Matt Daniels is the creator of the ‘Hip Hop Vocabularies Project,’ who’s also engineered the website Sample-Stitch,” allowing its users an interface of original tracks to Recreate Kanye, 9th Wonder, Dilla Beats with Original Samples.

Many are already saying “the procrastination level is on 100,” seems you can easily get lost in the reconstruction process–one could guess as far as your ear, abilities, persistence and creativity can go. The site actually syncs and maps your keyboard to a media library of classic sounds, prompting you with a challenge each time you enter—can you Recreate Kanye, 9th Wonder, Dilla Beats with Original Samples?:

Included on the website is “Otis” by Kanye and Jay Z, “Impressknowsoul” by 9th Wonder, and “Don’t Cry” by J Dilla.

Anyone who has a studious interest, deep relationship or even remote curiosity of song production knows how accomplished the featured producers are. (Imagine if there was a RZA challenge!!!)…if you’re in the advanced class of production and sampling already then just consider this rote work, very* basic training–but still worth a look! Does this type of technology echo Michael McDonald’s Kanye doesn’t make ‘valid music’ argument? Do you think sites and apps like this are watering down the game/craft or making it easier to separate the average from the masterful???

“Kanye West is a master sampler, there’s no denying this. He makes it all look incredibly easy, but it turns out that’s not really the case for those without a sense of rhythm.”
