I used Reaper as my DAW of choice. I sliced up the track by hand. No hardware. Just copy, paste, click and drag.
Everything except for the kick and snare/clap is part of the original track sampled.
Essentially, I just took out random parts from the track until I could get a decent chord progression and from there everything just kind of happened by accident. I'm happy with the results though, especially how the bass turned out.
Feel free to ask about my process and/or any clarification.
