84-100 BPM.
Swung sixteenths (MPC swing around 55-62%), head-nodding, a little behind the beat.
A punchy kick on 1 and the and of 3 with a pickup before it, a hard snare on 2 and 4, swung eighth or sixteenth hats; sampled break feel, no rolls.
A round upright or electric bass (or a filtered sample low end) that locks with the kick; short notes, not 808 slides.
Jazz and soul samples: minor 7th and 9th chords, two-chord loops (i7 to iv7, ii7 to V7), chopped and looped.
Dusty drum breaks, vinyl crackle, Rhodes or piano chops, horn stabs, scratches.
The editor needs no account. Studio makes a whole song from one sentence, with an account and credits.
