The MPC 2000XL is my absolute favorite piece of gear. I have produced countless organic hip hop beats on my MPC. I love the thing so much that I completely customized it with black phat pads and all black buttons. I have other pieces of gear like Maschine, but there is just something about that trusty old MPC workflow. It is so much easier to make "computer" beats nowadays, but I still use my MPC2000XL and MPC 60 V1 as the root of my production. Great post!
Here are some of the various tracks I have done with both my 2000XL and 60 V.1. Take a listen!
