Clicks, Beats, & Tekken 2

When I'm in the mood & feeling the groove, I like to sit down for while and try to piece together a hip hop instrumental (or a rap beat, whatever). I'm a big fan of sampling other songs so I decided to borrow the sounds from one of my favorite fighting games to make a beat. Old school 90's fighting game music contains some of my favorite music of all time for video games. A couple months ago I was browsing through the Tekken 2 soundtrack and I was really diggin' Devil & Angel's stage theme. Nonetheless, I used some of the sounds from the song to help make my own version.
