makin an actual track usually isn't like therapy for me but when i hear a beat i made the next day, i get a sense of pride. The pride that i get from makin a good beat is what makes me keep goin and wanna do better.
Most of the time i dont set out to create a certain type of track unless its a specific project, I mainly play with the keys or sample for awhile and see where it takes me from there.
mostyl these days i make beats im fustrated cos shit aint as dope as i want it, then every so often there is a break in the clouds and shit falls into place beautiful, in that split second the struggle is justfied.
hmmmm many times when i make a beat, it depends on my mood, but it's not always sad! i make happy beats too. other times, i just play the beat out in my head before i actually make it. and those are usually awesome. my anti-drug. i don't wanna face all those lung problems later.
