    soulja boy- crank that. triumph or tragedy?

    I noticed the fruity loops connection too. FL Studio definately has it's own 'swing'. In the same way that the MPC is rightly famous for it's internal clock, fruity has it's own rigid feel which I love, listen to all of Skream's output I think it's just as significant as the MPC
