My first attempts at making a beat

The artist I studied was Madlib, an American hip hop producer. The areas of his work that I wanted to focus on were how he creates unique sounding beats, and how he samples old records from decades past. For my imitation I created a short loop by pulling a sample out of the song “With Your Love” by Jackie Moore, from a record made in 1980. I then added different sounds around the sampled loop to complete the song. While the song is really simple and I’m just a beginner, I still think it sounds pretty cool compared to the original song.
