The Rose Royce moog sample is actually scratched, not pitch shiftet.

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

Yeah, I didn't know that, thanks! It would be a similar effect either way, but that's good to know.

@@KarlBoltzmann yes, it's a transformer scratch of the Rose Royce song

This is the greatest freaking video ever made!! Even though I'know all this already! Can so appreciate this!

Ha! Just bought the Harvey Scales & Drum Sessions albums. That Ronnie Laws was 1 of the first Jazz albums I ever bought.

I think you're right about the disco call! To me it sounds like MCA is doing it by himself.

@user-cq8fk8ej4h 11 месяцев назад

As a teen in the 80s, we were blessed with such amazing, groundbreaking music! B Boys blew my mind then and still do! Saw them in 98 and 09. Miss them so much. Absolute icons and legends. RIP MCA🙌❤

Life long fan of Beastie Boys. And this is only the first track. This could never be made today. Dust Brothers 1988-89. Unbelievable.

My favorite band! ♥ BEASTIE BOYS ♥

@rarematthew 7 месяцев назад

Great video/reconstruction, BUT pretty sure the Rose Royce bass part in the chorus sounds the way it does because it was "cut up" by a dj (maybe Hurricane) playing the actual Rose Royce record and using the crossfader. Your version is very close but has some added parts/notes in it.

@KarlBoltzmann 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! And yes, you're absolutely right. The method that I showed in the video is more of a crude imitation to create a similar sound, but it's nothing like what they would have done to create that bass.

@ecsantana Год назад

WOW! the research those Guys did to make this album... BB are really, undoubtedly THE GOATs. and it's just so cool how all those samples fit so perfectly together... thanks a lot for this reconstruction, Bro!

@control_the_pet_population Год назад

While the Beasties deserve their props, Shake Your Rump was already a Dust Brothers instrumental track before the Beastie Boys collaboration started. The Dust Brothers had about half of the Paul's Boutique backing tracks already in the can before they met the Beasties. They were planning on releasing them as instrumental dance / club tracks, then the Beastie Boys heard their work and wanted to rhyme over them instead... the rest is history.

Good lort! I knew this album was a sample fest but i thought some of this song they played, at least percussion wise. So amazing these were all pieced together in somebody's head to bring together for this. Thank you so much!

@KarlBoltzmann 6 месяцев назад

The Dust Brothers, who produced this album, were way ahead of their time by making this whole album with samples. So well implemented too. It almost sounds like a very creative band could have recorded the pieces.

So many funky samples - I want to go back and listen to each track individually. Another fun, impeccably done reconstruction. Thanks again man!

I was just listening to this song the other day and then this video showed up on my feed, great video I was always so impressed by the amount of samples and how well they’re put together on this record

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Thanks for dropping in. I agree, the Dust Brothers really did an amazing job on this record. It thrives on its relative simplicity and quick changes.

@djdren Год назад

my god, the amount of work BB put in just one song ...

@quibster 2 года назад

there really are a lot of vibrant lp's driving this track and it was pretty interesting to see how the beat concoctions, like a couple of drum samples from different songs, came together in the end. cool video as always

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

I've always loved drum layering and to hear it done so well in the chorus of Shake Your Rump was pretty cool to discover!

@hihihi8447 2 года назад

It’s the way that they make multiple drum samples on one track sound cohesive. I love it in 3‐Minute Rule where it goes back and forth between the hard hitting drums and the Sly Stone drums. 👍 great video

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

There is a wonderful character in the lack of refinement on Paul's Boutique and the sampling that is almost impossible to manufacture these days on modern DAWs. It really is a piece of history that can't ever be replicated.

@hnatyaroshenko6645 Год назад

@Drew-lu4vn 7 месяцев назад

Another gem! I always thought someone was cutting up the first Car Wash sample and not pitch shifting it in pieces. 🤯 Do you know if the "ho's ho's" they chant at the end is actually The Beasties themselves?

@KarlBoltzmann 7 месяцев назад

If I ever get to chat with the Dust Brothers about it, I will find out for sure, but my I am almost certain that the shouts at the end would have been recorded by them at the studio.

@@KarlBoltzmann I'm doing good. Not fully DJ shadow, Gorillaz, Chemical Brothers and the like we're always around but I fell more in to industrial and rock and metal.

@Thefreshdude Год назад

Great vid!!! Not sure that pitch shifting was possible in 1989? Was just basic samplers connected to midi software (Likely Atari/Cubase)

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Yes, great point! Someone else pointed out that they likely scratched the pitch shifting, which would make more sense given the technology available at the time.

7:26 - What do you think about Heatwave's "The Groove Line" or the the Michael Zager Band's "Let’s All Chant" as the source for the Disco Call? Also consider Tededy Pendergrass's "Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose."

@KarlBoltzmann 9 месяцев назад

Great comment. After checking them all out, the closest to my ear is "Let's All Chant", but when I took a closer look, it doesn't match up. The main difference, as far as I can tell, is that the disco call in Shake Your Rump is a single voice, where as all of these are done by at least a few vocalists. If I ever get to talk to the Dust Brothers, I will solve this mystery, but in the meantime, my best guess is that it was one of the BB recording their own disco call in the studio.

@ThomasBones 3 месяца назад

anybody have any insight into the drum fill under the "Got more rhymes than Jamaica's got mangoes" line? I can't find it.

@rubygloomzombie Год назад

I found out where the disco call actually comes from let's all chant

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

I can honestly say that I never realized how common the disco call was. This is a great example and a good find! I still stand by the side by side comparison showing that Shake Your Rump is a single person making the disco call, where as Let's All Chant sounds like a group of people. I could be wrong, but that's what I hear.
