The Funk Lord Eric Sermon heads to DJ Desue’s studio in Berlin and makes a beat from scratch using a Yamaha Motif ES8.
What I do is I take a sample from somewhere or some type of sample sound and make it sound gritty. So **** think it could be a loop or could be something.
[Respect to gg]
That was dope as hell. I always wondered how E Serm made his beats. They don’t call him the Funklord for nuthin!
You mean Erick Sermon?
One.
I’m not too familiar with the Motif but were those all stock sounds??
I love the Phunk Doc!
Those are the stock sounds,I own the motif xs and all.the workstation stock.sounds are great the motif xf which is the .latest version has great acoustic sounds and epiano,Rhodes,organ,guitars,ect ,dope video to wake.up to
I been waitin’ for a E. Sermon beatmaking video ever since I saw him on his motif in Scratch magazine about 5 or 6 years ago. Dope video. Thanks for the post.
Is there anything that is even close to Scratch magazine out there now days. I used to read that magazine from cover to cover. Then toward the end it became XXL Jr. and sucked. Up until they started putting rappers on the covers that was one of the best magazines and I still have not been able to find anything really close to it since.
They’re weak i paid for a subscription and only got one before they cancelled wrote a letter and all that with no reply! But i hope sometin like it comes out it was dope! Is XXL Jr a production mag? and is it still out?
I love it….. Erick Shermon is 1 of my fav producers… Hands down!
Erick Shermon haha
Samples , Sounds , and what you do with technology.
Click the name , and get ready to Funk it up.
Erick Sermon is getting “Paid in Full”!
Yeah, E. Sermon still gettin’ it in! That’s good! Not too many major producers (if any) fu*kin’ with the Motif like that! Dope video!
This is not the only Instrument he gets down on he’s nice on the sp1200 too ! Still respect to an architect tho !Dope video Sup Semantik?
For awhile I wondered what happened to Sermon. I think dude could still make an impact on the game today, just how Clark Kent did with his last collab with Ross.
Dope video. Glad to see Eric Sermon still doing it!
Don’ t laugh at me , yall but I didn’t think you could make a whole beat on a Motif like that. I’ve never played with one of those before. i’ve been sayin’ for years that E Double is one of the most underappreciated and overlooked cats that ever did it. Dude’s catalog is on some straight “short yellow bus” shit.
Yeah sick & Ridiculous…..
Thank you…
the beat sounds 2003. but dope nontheless
His style tho. Can’t expect anything else from the man.
made that shit look too easy….
too much funk for one man.
wow the video’s have really slowed down on this site , usto see a new video in 2 days or less now its down to 2 months or less what up with that semantic ? is the recession keeping cats from making beats ? no disrespect i just need to be inspired right now !
Another great release from Eric Sermon, a beat using Yamaha Motif ES8, simply amazing, there is no doubt he is one of my all time favorite funk music producer. Yeah dude he did it again….
