In this clip from People’s Party, Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh talk with rapper and producer 88-Keys — who has collaborated with everyone from Kanye and Kid Cudi to Sia and Mos Def [Yasiin Bey] — about the difference between looping and chopping when making beats, which leads 88-Keys and Kweli to reflect back on creating the classic Black Star song “Thieves In The Night” and the process behind that beat.
The story itself, and 88’s idea that Kweli and Yasiin were balling, is a funny moment that has to be heard from the Golden Era of hip-hop.
