So for #5 here, I started out with a short snippet of a Busta Rhymes acapella. I basically opened it in Ableton live, and zoomed up super close and took tiny little sections of it and made them loop, usually between 5 and 10 times. I tried to be pretty random with things, and to switch up how long the tiny loops were as I went. The results are pretty varied. You get some quick repeating things, and some more textural stuff. I tried to do a lot of variation in the chops, and put a lot of effort in. Some of the things I spent a ton of time on don't really show it. For example, I would spend 20 minutes doing these very small loops that change in mathematically proportionate ways (like loop one thing 7 times then the next one would be a 5/7 the length and 5 times, then 8/5 the length and 8 times, etc..) and the end result is a tenth of a second of "bleep!". I also got a bit "wacky" towards the end and tried a couple weird juxtapositions. I did, for example, one loop that got progressively shorter every other loop, and longer on the alternate loops, you can hear it when he is sayig "duty yo" over and over. Weird stuff like that. What you have is a couple lines of Busta extended to over a minute. Turns out his lyrics are deep after all.

Here's the Wav file.
