DON’T SLEEP: [FLASHBACK] Exile Flips “A Milli” On His MPC 2000 XL [CLASSIC BEAT VIDEO]
Exile’s live flip of Lil’ Wayne “A Milli” on his MPC 200o XL was big news on the Hip Hop blogosphere when he recorded it and uploaded it to YouTube back in late 2008. Later on he made it part of his live performances, this was all before Araab Muzik began doing his live MPC sets and sadly enough claiming that no one was doing it before him on Twitter last year. I’m almost 36 so I know better. in any event, enjoy seeing this master of the MPC work. I’d like to see him & Araab Muzik live demoing back to back like how Just Blaze & The Alchemist did on their recent Soundclash Tour. Don’t sleep!.
One.
Don’t forget that DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, and DJ Numark were doing it live before both of them (at least Araab Muzik)
See “Pushing Buttons” from DJ Shadow’s “Live! In tune and on time.” circa 2002
I’m also quite certain that Shadow was incorporating in his set before this period too.
