(2004). I remember when I brought my Korg Triton over to Vrse's house in Scottsdale, AZ this was the beat that he said something to the effect of "well now you've got yourself a hit". A lot of the beats I was making at the time were more uptempo, dark, synthy, pilled out in the basement of a club at 4am type shit. This one ROLLS.
When the main chords come in at the chorus the beat just rolls like angry waves crashing the shore of an over populated touristy-ass beach. At the time this was my favorite beat. It's definitely on some electro-club shit but you can actually rap to it.
