Last Night Changed It all

Well kinda. Last night I went over another producers house, Drew, to make some tracks. It was actually our first time linking up and it won't be the last. The session was mad crazy though, god I wish I didn't have school this morning. Anywho he we talked about beats all the way until we got to his crib. Now when we got to his crib, he has this collage that I think is so awesome and I'm kinda pissed because I was gonna make one I am going to make one and that one was just so impressive.
After looking at the collage, he was like "so what you trying to do" and I simply told him, "make some tracks". So I pulled out my weapon (Boss Sp 505) and began connecting. Then he told me that he has a MPC 2000 (Not the xl version) and I noticed how big that thing was all I can say is damn. I'd never bring that out the house. He never has used him MPC so he was curious to see how a drum machine works. So I began making a drum beat in front of him, then he goes "so how you put samples over your tracks" and I'm like lets see if I have a sample in the machine already. Fortunately I did! So I just chopped the sample up and did my thing. Dude was amazed. Now he works with Reason and I was curious to see how he does what he does. He showed me how to really work reason if I ever need to. Really that track that he did in front of me came out ridiculous. He taught me a bit more about chopping too.
Did I mention his speaker system is fucking nuts? He made me realize I need to get some speakers quick. Because I do everything in my computer speakers and I got a chance to hear them come out of actually speakers and I don't know how much longer i can make beats without decent speakers.
So after all of that we played some beats, I played shit like 2 years old. He is a good scouter for talent, I swear he'd make a great A&R. All of the beats he played me from his camp were hitting. I didn't hear anytype of bullshit coming from those speakers and the "just ok" tracks were fucking knocking.
Anywho one of the producers that did one beat he played me he called him and I saw how dedicated he was to this. This guy is so commited to producing, it feels like I have a twin out here. He wants this so bad and I think he's gonna get it. He made me realize something, producing is becoming a young kid sport there are people out here that are 15 making placements (seriously I know). So its time to get on the hustle.
