Really great breakdowns of songs all the time, I love these!! If I had one question, i would ask, do you think these chops were found by splitting the sample or manually finding the chops?
I would love to see how you go about dissecting a new track, finding the samples, chops and recreating the song. I thing it would help young producers a ton to know how to “study” a track and break it apart
I like the reverse/forward technique most for First Person Shooter, but I also like the gospel sample on Amen too. Budgie is really good with the gospel stuff. I agree with you that it's cool to use contemporary songs for samples. To me it's more about what you do with something than the date it was taken from. Virginia Beach was put together well.
Cosign. Sticky Fingaz easily one of the most underrated and outright unheralded rappers period. Hos style, energy, live as well as track presence, persona, delivery, witty and relatable despite outlandish content (similiar to Em). That's without addressing his bars and lyricism. It's a fucking shame he dropped the ball when Em floated joining their soon to be monster at Aftermath back before Martial Mathers LP exploded the label, the genre and even music period globally. I personallh think if he hadnt been acting and shit and if the coastalcentric mindset wasnt still so fresh and persistent then he would have given it at least a third thought and had the vision, but things go as they do and not enough time in this life to live heeding regrets for much more than occasional dialogue chopping it up or in comments. Also for what its worth, which is all but impossible and far too tedious and involved to actually reasonably determine, I think Sticky has a good claim to the best instance of potentially bodying Em on a feature on Amityville.
Honestly I love watching your videos not only do I learn something new all the time but they make me feel better because of your personality and sense of humor, lately I’ve been in a kind of depressed state and its been hard for me to create anything but watching your videos always inspire me, thank you for everything you do and I hope you continue having many blessings come your way 🙏🏼
Hey great vid, its crazy how u get the sample chops. The album is boring AF besides frank sample, sounds like all he's done in the last 6 years besides honestly nevermind which isn't an AOT or whatever. Seems fake that he spends so much time with Yatchy cause Boat went crazy left on Let's Start Here and it's fiiiiiire. He should imitate that Freddie Gibbs movie where he goes to a farm to focus
I feel like 8PM was the only dope beat. The rest of these beats feel like nobody has grown since 2018. That’s why Hip Hop is being trailblazed by Afro Beats.
Not many rappers can pull off 3:4. I always take 3:4 samples and cut out one of the 3 sections (usually the third, but sometimes the second) when I make my chops, prior to arranging. Seems like most producers don't even want to touch 3:4 samples at all, but I like the challenge.
Honestly, I never liked Drake, I don't like what he makes. I feel the same way about Jay-Z. I know a few songs by Jay-Z because of the beats that sounded good to me, while I never liked the lyrics and his style. I know one song by Drake and that's too much for my system. I just don't like what they do. I like these beat reconstructions of yours and they are very useful. I always enjoy watching your video. Keep it up. 👍
nice vid as always (even tho i'm not into drake at all :) one of my favorite hiphop producer and beatmaker is actually NECRO. it'as nice that he releases most of his albums as instrumental versions as well. i wonder if u are familiar with his work and what u think about his beats / productions ..
WHO says that about sampling? WHO IN THE WORLD says you must sample stuff from the 70s or earlier?!??!?! I've literally sampled the windows long horn start up and used it as a melody chop before. lol.
Thank you for your break down of this and all prior tutorials being a sample and self chord progressive beat maker I find the analysis essential.... and no not crasy about drakes album lol the tracks you covered are the only ones worth the ear
The idea of only sampling old music is stupid and I have no idea why anyone thought it was valid in the first place. Hip-hop started in the '70s - What records were DJs looping back then? Mostly '70s records. At the end of the day, sample whatever the hell you want.
Sampled old music feels soulful and profound to listen to. It also feels badass when you take something old that we view as separate from our timeline and far away from us and bring it close and bridge the gap by modernizing it. It's jarring in a way that sometimes feels almost scary. Like the beat is a scary badass boss battle.
@@CrimZonOnYT It's great, don't get me wrong, but the mentality of *only* flipping old stuff is dumb. There's great contemporary music to sample too. There are even soul musicians today who make songs that legit sound like 1970s records, even production wise. All I'm saying is, don't avoid sampling something just because it isn't vintage, if you think it sounds good then use it. The hip-hop pioneers were sampling whatever they wanted to, mainly songs that were pretty recent at the time (e.g. Run-DMC sampling Bob James music from the 1970s is the equivalent of someone today sampling Hiatus Kaiyote music from the 2010s).
@@finkployd6110 I understood your point when I rewatched the video. You mean it's stupid to be ashamed or shame others for sampling more recent pieces. I thought you just meant old music is dumb and sounds bad and that you should sample better music.
My initial first listen to the album i didn't get it. After drinking a few glasses of Crown, i listened to the album twice back to back. WOW! This entire project is insanely good. Each track on this project creates a fluid body of work. The vibe is very apparent. If you deep dive into the lyrics there are so many gems. Production was very inventive and innovative. This album is truly for the grown and sexy. Joe Budden couldn't have been more wrong in his first assessment.
None of the beats outside of 8 AM, Calling for You and the Screw The World interlude made you scrunch your face up. Felt like a microwave meal album for sure.
producers can’t learn anything from drake he doesn’t make beats or have secret production tips, he has producers and engineers. talk about what they do and credit it to them lol
Ngl when i saw you post that poll abt fatds production i was kinda upset at how many ppl weren't able to at least appreciate that some of the production was still quality I am a major fan of drake and even though fatd wasn't amazing it had some pretty great ssounding production. He just made some pour decisions witb structuring the songs like adding that long ass interlude on that song w 21 savage😂
@@anotherxd5384 there are some people with the same view not just me. Yes sampling is an art but I always feel like the real art is in actually composing the music yourself
The album is mid. He's got some good beats but they are overshadowed by this new mid shell of an artist version of Drizzy who only makes filler music now
