Footage Shows DJ Rashad Making a Beat in 10 Minutes

How fast can you make a beat? When Tim and Barry went to Chicago spring of 2012 to film on the footwork scene for their new documentary I’m Tryna Tell Ya, they met up with one of the genre’s legends, the late DJ Rashad for an installment of the “Beat This” series. The show challenges different producers on their agility game, seeing what they can come up within ten minutes time. Watch as the calm and focused Rashad lay down some rapid drums, chops up some jazz guitar samples, and key out a wobbling sub bass, and make sure to check out on how the end product sounds. Peep the video above.
