For what it's worth, I've made a thread about it last year

Another thing that is slightly overlooked is how, in the great communal sea of breaks and samples, a lot of them were treated with certain machines. Like the drum breaks wouldn't be what they were without for example certain mics but very much also stuff like going through emus.

Imo the emu is like the wah pedal or something. Where the wah pedal is the sound of Miles Davis having a go at rock, Claptons guitar sound that Jimi and everyone picked up on and so on..

and its hard to make juke-ish sounding stuff without an 808 or a similar sounding drum machine. but he probably could have done the same with samples (as most actual chicago dudes probably do)

nah...

808 sample pack + MPC groove

definitely imo

possibly not everything that's come out of grime later though?

wasted potential for a "from first to last"-inspired shitty pun here imo
