If you recall in January 2016, Kanye West dropped ‘No More Parties in L.A.’, a collaboration which was assisted by Kendrick Lamar with production from Madlib.
During a Red Bull Music Academy conversation cum lecture, Madlib revealed that he made the beat to the Kanye West track on an iPad.
A freaking iPad!

The intro to the record samples ‘Give Me My Love’ by Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson and flips into a heavy loop of Junie Morrison’s ‘Suzie Thundertussy’.
‘I just wanted to leave it the same, dudes get mad, ‘That dude just looped that shit up…That’s my sound, I’m a loop digger so I just wanted to leave it like that and make it dirtier than it was.’
Unfortunately, we don’t get to hear much more about Madlib’s iPad production skills.

Madlib also explained that the rest of the beats he gave Kanye were later picked up by his frequent collaborator, Freddie Gibbs. ‘Every time I sample a record, I sample off the whole record,’ he said. ‘I made beats out of the whole record, but they just picked that beat.’ Beats from that session have now made their way onto Bandana, his forthcoming collab project with Freddie Gibbs.
Our producers might just wanna go figure out how they make beats with iPads.
