Roc Marciano: My 5 Life-Changing Beats
FUSE TV - Roc Marciano: My 5 Life-Changing Beats
"My album sounds like my sh-t. It doesn't sound like his sh-t or his sh-t. It sounds like my sh-t because it's coming from me and where I come from."
The place rapper/producer Roc Marciano comes from is Long Island, NY, with a childhood steeped in late-night hip hop radio absorbing the work of vaunted producers like Pete Rock, DJ Premier and Large Professor. Last year's fantastic Reloaded, his second album after 2010's Marcberg, pays homage to the gritty, ominous soul samples used by his idols without succumbing to the nostalgist tendencies of his peers.
2013 should be an equally big year for Roc. The producer already has two albums finished—one featuring Roc's production and rhymes, the other production-only with featured rappers—and is working on collaborative albums with rapper Ka (collectively known as Metal Clergy) and L.A. group Arch Druids. For now, though, the rapper looks back, sharing the five beats that changed his life.
1. Ultramagnetic MC's, "Ego Trippin'" (1988)
This was the first beat that blew me away and made me be like, "Wow. What's that?" I probably heard it staying up late listening to Mr. Magic or Marley Marl. When they came on, that's when you got to hear stuff like that. I remember this song sounding like science project music. I never heard anything like it.
