Behind The Scenes: No I.D. Recreates Jay-Z's "D.O.A." (BEATS BY THE POUND)


This is a cool behind the scenes look at how Jay-Z producer No I.D. created the beat for "D.O.A." which was used as a promotional video for Native Instruments.  I kind of wish No I.D. had described the process a little better because it's tough to follow him at times but it's still interesting to see him putting the beat together on the MPC like that.  There's a reason why he's a producer and not an artist.  Dude was nervous as hell behind the camera!   

I'm kind of surprised how much he jacked the loop from the original track but that's kind of his style.  It sounded dope as shit and no one else ever used it before (that I know of) so he definitely gets some points for having an ear for a dope sample to loop.
