This is the footage from the Beats Rhymes and Life Deathproof Beat battle in which producers have to samples songs from the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino’s “Deathproof”/Grindhouse. The first two clips are mostly talking but it’s beats/music from there on out and we play the originals first so you can hear what folks are sampling.
Shout outs, introduction, explantion of the Deathproof beat battle and stand-up routine from FLO:
