Jake One Making of the Beat for Rick Ross feat Jay Z and Dr. Dre "3 Kings" 

This is quite special for me to watch. This is the guy that sampled my choir song "Psalms 121" to create "The Success" on Wale's current CD "The Album About Nothing". Because this song samples a gospel song, it's looking at exactly how he created "The Success" as well. WOW!!!

sampling is an art form. just like photography. you don't tell the photographer that he stole the scene. there's angles lighting composition etc. just like sampling there's eqing, chopping, looping, stretching, filtering, processing, etc.

jake one is the black kanye west

The fact that Kendrick could've had this beat...

Great to see a humble producer,about the music & no ego... less is more..Jake you are the One... Thank You

I just love how Jake One manages to do the most out of the minimum Number of Sounds. His beats sound so big without having 1000 sounds in them.

...Kendrick was foolish for not accepting that beat.

This beat is so fucking cold. It’s crazy how humans can make such beautiful art.

Video dropped in 2014, it's 2019 and Black Milk still ain't dropped the Drums.

Jake One never fails to amaze me. Def a producer that I respect whole hearty for sharing steps, technique, and structure (if you watch closely).

One of the most legendary sounding beats of this decade. Definitely heard some sort of Just Blaze influence. Amazing track

"It's only 6 sounds, nothing spectacular". GTFOH, that sh*t is damn near rocket science. To pull all those sounds together is a true talent. He didn't go over the part of Jay-Z's verse where the beat changes a little. Maybe that was added afterwards.

Damn this cat still using a Digi 002 as his interface which trips me out . I would have thought he would have at least a Digi 192 or Apogee 16X converters. Talent>Equipment

I immediately have Dre the credit for this...wow. I was wrong..this beat and those cymbals...crashing like that...just a perfect blend...then each artist added another instrument with the bars.....👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏆🏆

love seeing the ASR being used, you so humble man..mad respect

This whole time I thought Dre produced this...

A Black Milk drum kit would be fucking crazy lol

Stimulus Package with Freeway was the shit. A lot of people slept on that Cd. Crazy beats on it.

It's now than 6 sounds. You have to count all the sounds that are layered in that sample. The sample was produced on a big console back in the day in a big studio. That's why it sounds so fat.

Great I love making of videos from great producers. Jake One is a wonderful producer. Not just because of the "mainstream" Rick Ross song. If you like this beat you should listen to some of the "underground" sounds he did. Big Twins, Evidence etc.

*Goes out* *Buys karaoke machine*

And how did Kendrick not use this?!?

*plays greatest beat of all time* "yeah its nothing too spectacular"

ASR 10 still killing it!

new studio looks great man, your an inspiration to all us producers.

I remember the moment that Flex played it on the radio. He dropped about 50 bombshells on it for an hour straight it felt like. Jake is right. The song is just so huge!

This beat was one of the hardest on the album 🔥

Awesome beat! It inspires me to make dope beats too

3:15 - 4:25 "pull the background vocals/instruments up; making more prominent in the sample"; "phasing and stereo-mixing" 9:45 - "Yamaha CSL1; sweep on keyboard and turning delay way up"

That beat is legendary

It's nice to know who is truly behind the beats. I like videos like these...

I need more HOV over Jake One beats ASAP!! Somebody get Ty Ty on the phone now!!

That was so crazy how he played the bass against the piano sample like that. True skills

Such an amazing but simple beat. The effect with the delay brought it to life.

I’m telling you that ASR is a cheat code for producers

I love that song, I had no idea he did that song, I thought Dre did it, this dude got talent

This dude is so cold

Need a behind the beat for "Trap Door" with DOOM and "Winter Schemes" by J Cole and Wale

great beats never get old.. sounds really good Jake. thank you for the inspiration.

That ASR10 STILL IS DOPE.Love that 16bit sound

humble and inspiring

The Simplicity of the set up makes it even more magical no plugins no in the box feeling all-natural god-given talent can be taught gem just magical. thank you

he does all these tracks out of his little home studio on that little keyboard?

yooooooooooo thisbeat is crazzzzzzzzzzzzy

"cool record to be a part of".... hahahahahahaha , producers... Other people (artists) sing, rap, adlib , hop **ON** *your* cReAtiOns. Or else it would be a top 40 of a capellas. It's a symbiotic relationship, but the creation of the music oftentimes drives the cadences, subject matter, tone, etc of the lyricist!

Crazy Beat! I remember wen Thiz Joint Blew da Fuck up!

the way he moves thru that ASR is insane. it's his instrument

Jake One is hands down one of the best producers around. His work inspires me like crazy. Thanks for all you do Jake.

Man that was a monstrous chop!

Am I the only person that edits the fuck out of samples and doesn't just cut, paste, and repitch?

It's a legendary beat, listened to that song a million times!

I wish when I was kid learning to make beats with my few friends that we had options to go on youtube and watch already knowledgful people sharing their tricks of the trade.

World is dumb because people dont see real Jake One that is whats behind deez beatz...sincere people, not rappers that spent album budget on sneakers

love the crazy head nod he gets going, thought I was the only one who did that haha

Give this man his Roses right now 👑 #legend #uno

This is what 10000 hours looks like

Vern Fleming!!!! Vern & Reggie in the back court, The Davis Boys in the front court.....That was the squad back in the day!!! #pacersnation

Love how it briefly showed DJ Rectangle cassette ....iLL

"it's just different..."

Never knew he was from the same city as me. #206 #seattlemusic

Trap Door please. My all time favourite. I started listening to your stuff since I heard that one :D Keep up the good job. Cheers :D

Jake you are the goat 😮‍💨👌🏻

Nice vid.. Jake one killed it. Listen to FWUTOM by AndreThaStxner #np on #SoundCloud soundcloud.com/andrethastxner/fwutom

2:49 fucking women,just GOTTA be apart of a mans moment.

This beat is absoutely fire.

This was insane many years ago, and to watch how it was made and where it was derived from. Dre Ross and Jay on this

Wow.. all this time I thought Dre made it

I just got back from work , feeling all tired and shit, went into my little bedroom studio and thought yea why not make a beat, but just before i started i typed in making a beat just for the heck of it and i clicked on your video. My life changed after that. Thank you Snare Jordan. You are Hiphop

always knew Jake was dope but he really revealed his pedigree here. Highly skilled, visionary, and resourceful. Plus soulful and hella funky.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

That's what I'm always telling producers is not the quantity it's the quality that matters the most

Are you sequencing the sample chops and drums in the actual key board using the keyboard sequencer, at first? And then dumping everything into your DAW for mixing ETC?

Genius

Jake develop your own artist. Sending out beats and hoping MC Big Name uses it is wack...you are a proven producer. Forgive me if I misspoke in anyway. ✌🏿

I run shit i own the dopests Studio in the USA

Have u ever had problems with your asr blowing the two 4am fuses? I have 2 asr10 s ,just replaced the power supply and transistor. It worked for a couple days then popped the fuses, put in 2 new ones , blew right away!. I'm bout done messing with the asr, never had these problems with eps

Beautiful

Only producers, rappers, and die hard hip hop fans have that head knod.

Jake One...name sounds familiar....i think he did the track megagrafitti for Vordul Mega

How the hell is Jake One just this normal lookin dude, super humble and soft spoken but has all these hits with the biggest names in hip hop and music in general? lol just making beats on his ASR, choppin samples for Dr.Dre, and Drake and shit lol

🔥🔥🔥

HEY JAKE CAN YOU SHOW HOW YOU DID FREEWYA'S OUTRO BEAT WITH THE SYLVERS HOW LOVE HURTS??? JAKE YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN YOU INSPIRE ME

ayo ion think any of you know this, but JID and Christo used the same sample on JID's song "off da zoinkeys"

Great video, really feeling this beat. :)

Dude can you do behind the beat for that John Cena record Jake?

lowkey hate the fact jay ross and dre got on this beat

Didn't know he did the beat. I think it's on Compton (Dre's Album).

These videos are awesome, Jake!

WOWW !!! It's not the gear/equiptment so much as the creativity of the artist (!!!!!!) that makes the music extraordinary.People Commented on him using a 002 rack while skipping the fact that his go to piece of equiptment, the bread and butter of his studio is his ASR which is probably about 25yrs old.I know people who still use them.U can spend thousands on the newest tech and gadgets but if you dont have creativity and dont know how to use them they wont help U much.I've seen it work both ways, and JAKE has IT !!!

It’s weird when I think of Guru and premier in the lab and then now people just passing a beat around emails in the industry like who wants to use this song for their single etc. shits crazy get that money tho jake one

Bobbin his head like he has athritis or some shxt.. Lol Dope Beat, way too creative.

This beat is dope, is probably the only song I like under Rozay name.

I've seen this video years ago and i just noticed that metronome was falling off if he played it too long with it on that's crazy

DOPE!!!!! Fucking Jake One killing it!

Can I be Snare Jordan, Jr? Before you say thee nay, ask Ammbush about me...

Jake One always brings the knock

JID -Off Da Zoinkys sampled this beat

It may only be six sounds, but it s the way you used those sounds to make it sound good.

DO ONE FOR GOD LIKE!!

The ASR 10 is still relevant cause of Jake...
