Producer Focus... (Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem) builds a beat live and talks through manipulating drum samples, turning a feeling into music, playing drums as a kit rather than one part at a time, and making room for the vocal.

Nearly two hours with a top hip-hop producer explaining his thinking calmly and in detail, with as much on composition and feel as on technique.
