    I thought it was all about drum machine beats from the 80s with one finger note keyboard accompaniments.

    Then how about this:b, 21b, 21Beats in this style seem to consist of multiple melody lines stacked on top of each other to give an orchestral quality to the beat. Organ, string and horn patches are usually accompanied with 808's and handclaps. The organ and handclaps throw a little bit of gospel in there. The handclaps usually have lots of reverb. The 808's make the trunk rattle, and the tempo is slow because anything which has this kind of regal quality does not need to rush. The listener is impressed with the way the different melodies interact and contribute to the shifting harmonies.

    Yeah dude had some good production. I met him when he was in that group Crazytown a few years ago. That really wasn't good.

    A lot of Cool and Dre's stuff tends to get pretty epic sounding. The opener on Carter3 for example.
