In this video, we are breaking down the groovy bass line of "Earth Travelers" by People Under The Stairs. This classic track from their album "O.S.T." (released in 2002) features a funky bass riff that will get you nodding your head and tapping your feet in no time. The key of the song is in Eb minor, with a tempo of 92 beats per minute.
Did you know that "Earth Travelers" was inspired by the 1971 film "Vanishing Point"? The movie tells the story of a car delivery driver who takes on a bet to transport a 1970 Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in under 15 hours. The film's themes of freedom and adventure are reflected in the lyrics and vibe of the song, and the bass line serves as the perfect foundation for the funky, laid-back groove that People Under The Stairs are known for.
So grab your bass and follow along as we break down the elements of this timeless hip hop classic. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more bass tutorials and hip hop breakdowns! RIP Double K!
