Creative Inspire 100206

This clip of Exile (of Blu & Exile) rocking his MPC has my jaw sitting on the floor.  The MPC is so instilled in hip hop culture as the industry standard weapon of choice for producers.  That said it's not taken out of the studio all that often.  Not a lot of big name producers ever show their process, chopping beats together and getting the sequence to bang right.  Almost like it's a secret art form that they keep under lock and key like the recipe for KFC's 11 herbs and spices.  The ones that do let you in on their creative process often only show brief glimpses of the meticulous steps taken to bang out a head nodder.  Usually with every element in the beat sequenced one step at a time. So it's really inspiring to see a dude like Exile taking the machine out of the studio and using it to pull of well crafted routines in live performances.
