Had to not talk reckless out the mouth and keep calm. Dentyne gum is known to make your mouth cool.

Don't worry if we tanked, let the cadillac run Malcolm Smalls (Ft. Chop) – Mother Superior

Don’t worry if we fail, just let everything go as planned. I purposely said this line because I still wanted to continue putting drug references in this..

If you haven’t seen the video of rapper “Cadillac Ron” shooting up heroin during a rap battle here it is. Viewer discretion is advised

She rescued me from so much harm, my heroine Malcolm Smalls (Ft. Chop) – Mother Superior

Sort of wrote this whole last verse about a female. Again using the heroin theme. Heroin/heroine, play on words.

Replace the needle then we heatin' up the joint Malcolm Smalls (Ft. Chop) – Mother Superior

Another play on words. Purposely said needle and joint to make the listener think it is about drugs but I’m simply talking about getting the DJ to replace his needle on his turntable and so I can get back to heating up the stage.

I go, nodding off, for these next minutes I'm fearless Malcolm Smalls (Ft. Chop) – Mother Superior

Yep. Also nodding off is continuing with the Trainspotting theme. Nodding off is a part of the heroin high. But I really wanna add that when I wrote this I was kind of thinking nodding to the beat and finally finding the place where I can do and say whatever I want, which is the studio.

[Produced by Malcolm "Chop" Smalls] Malcolm Smalls (Ft. Chop) – Mother Superior

http://youtu.be/E36UXRJIkOg
(For some reason I thought I could add the video afterwards but I guess I have to record it all live for RG) Also excuse the distortion!

First and foremost I was watching the movie “Trainspotting” and I kinda fell in love with the title Mother Superior, because in the movie he’s the one who was selling the heroin. In one scene they played the song by Lou Reed – Perfect Day. I knew that was the one.

I took it to Cubase, and time-stretched it to 76 BPM. I was planning on just looping it but I figured that was too boring, so I took the time stretched sample to Native Instrument’s Kontakt and chopped it up manually.

The exact BPM for the beat is 85 and playing around with the chopped samples I was able to find a dope melody for it.
I added some un-quantized kicks and snare and some hihats and rides all using FXPansion Geist. I added a slight bitcrusher effect (it comes with geist) to give it a little grimeyness.

After the drums I went straight to Spectrasonic’s Trilian and I added electric bass and doubled that with synth bass. Both the bass basically play the notes I created with the chopped sample. I also added Nexus' sine bass to beef the bass up even more. All in C# Major.

This is the basis of the beat and it stays like this until the chorus. I then added some Symphobia strings to the chorus which are kinda soft and quiet. Low staccato brass notes follow the same bassline along with StudioLinkedVST Hip-Hop brass which helps make the bassline sound bigger during the chorus. I also added some weird sound effect that came from Spectrasonics Distorted Reality sample cd. This hits on the first beat of every other measure in the chorus. Last but not least is the Sylenth1 synth with heavy reverb.

People in prison, niggas was careless, Malcolm Smalls (Ft. Chop) – Mother Superior

I don’t know people in Paris but I do know people in prison. Reality is we’re most likely to go there than to have the money to travel to foreign countries.
