This is the Spinz 808, and although by now it’s a popular subject for memes in the music producer community, it’s a renowned 808 in rap and you’ve probably heard it before. You get the point. So why is the spinz 808 so popular? The Spinz 808 was allegedly created by popular DJ and producer DJ Spinz, but there’s lots of controversy on who the original creator is; while some like Alex Tumay have credited DJ Spinz with creating it, many still debate whether the legendary spinz 808 was created by B Wheezy, TCE, or DJ Spinz. Many also credit the sound to originate from the BWZYBd_1 808, many call that the “original spinz”. You could say one reason why it’s so popular, is because the original sample is so versatile and requires little to no mix, it can be thrown on any track and give it life.
