IMPORTANT NOTE - Other people were involved in the creation of this song, from engineering, to mixing, and mastering, and someone I failed to mention, and absolutely should have, is Eric E-Bass Johnson who also has guitar credit on this song. My sincerest apologies for not including the complete credits in this video.
There have been questions raised in the comments over who did what, and who didn't. I'm not able to determine those specifics, but the facts are that both Ken and E-Bass have official credits on this song (Ken as "Acoustic Guitar" and E-Bass as "Guitar")
When working on this video, I attempted to reach to everyone else listed in the credits (Including Syleena Johnson and Mix Engineer Manny Marroquin) and either didn't hear back, or in E-Bass' case, there was no contact info available online (short of an old myspace and abandoned Twitter). We're nearly 20 years removed from the release of this album, and it would be impossible for ME to determine if there's anything different going on than what the official credits say, since it's just one person's word against another, with both of them listed in the credits.
What I do know is that I should have mentioned E-Bass' contribution to this song and I didn't, and for that, I'm sorry.

@burningspear90 11 месяцев назад
She really is an incredible singer and vocalist. This is probably one of your best breakdowns. The layers of it from the opening to dead prez as I watch presently. Big up’s bro edit I see what the last lyric verse you did…and broke it down…yeah man big ups to you for this. It’s very challenging for me to talk about all the levels to hip hop and how it exposed me to the industry and why it moves so quickly (a spiritual and social phenomena) in the way that 88-97/98 is considered old school now and 2010 hip hop is old…to folks listening to 2023 hip hop so many levels and then listening to a song moby used and seeing how musicians and music can be exploited (mind you I just watched a very short documentary on Peter tosh and the discussion related to the Barrett brothers) it’s a lot. And it’s been discussed and rediscussed. I’ve been around musicians all my life, of various ethnicities. I can say you’re the first “white” musician in a long time I’d love to build and discuss music life society with for your capacity to just get it as expressed in that last lyric you expressed love for. Blessings to you bro.

It’s weird that’s 2010 stuff is old. What is the 2000’s stuff? Retro? I grew up on that time and I look back at it fondly because it’s like a natural progression of the late 90’s, whereas the 2010’s felt like a jump forward and backwards in many ways

the origins of "All Falls Down" lies in a pre-college dropout demo called "Dream Come True", "All Falls Down" shares almost EVERY lyric with this down, the only difference is he completely switched the beat. maybe he meant "15 minutes to write All Falls Down" as "15 minutes of editing to make it fit the new beat"

Man, hearing you talk about Dead Prez Mos Def, and Talib Kweli takes me back to the artists I loved and still love. I saw Kweli and Dead Prez open for Dilated Peoples. Something happened to the sound so Kweli just went freestyle/acapella until they got it working again. Such a great concert. Saw Mos Def back during that time as well. Also an amazing concert. Such a great time to be alive and loving hip hop music.

And jus filled with info - seems like dead prez affected u too - cuz the 16min blew by. Like some1 here wrote - you really get this hiphop shi - the power of what it is but also what it can be. And wow yes good art is abstract & distilled. And wow yes it's us who puts it all together from the bits & pieces - if the artist does their part well & compels us to. Explains also so well why we luv a movie, a painting, a song, a poem, etc - it makes deep sense to us & gets us engaged - we're in a sense a part of the crestion. And, y the best art doesnt "try" to be understood. It jus trust that some1 will get it as long as feeling & emotion are expressed thoughtfully - as long as the artist, the creator, shows us they "get it." Good stuff man. Thank you.

I feel like Lauryn Hill who uas been largely inactive musically since the 1990s should have said you don't need a sample, how about I sing on your record. Leave the collaboration to the artists and stop giving everything to the lawyers. However it seems the artists are just as fragile about their work as the record companies are. Lauryn could have introduced herself to a whole new generation of young music consumers go and she can rap amazing too. The possibility was endless for her if she was more open and had kept that collaboration vibe hip hop was founded on.

Amazing channel ! I personally can attest that mechanical licensing is the way. I did it to John Williams’ “the March” (superman theme). We were gonna bootleg it. I called the CMRRA Here in Canada.. it was a last chance shot in the dark .. and due to the fact I time stretched certain notes to change the scaling tempo to be time synced they said it counted as a reproduction!! I got to put my name on it “Vinyl Syndicate” and the song name “Man of Steal” (as in yoinked) . The % to Warner/Tamerlane was micro.

I know both Ken & E Bass for years… both are extremely talented & credible to say the least. However , I believe there is a massive discrepancy. You should get E Bass on your show & have him tell it. I’d be happy to set that up! Love Ken and zero disrespect to him… he’s amazing and mixed My “10 Minutes” record on Joe Budden’s Def Jam debut album back in the day!!

Lofey produced "10 Minutes" for Joe Budden. Who are you? Incidentally dude, i still own the guitar i played on that record, I've played that guitar live on my ru-vid.com livestream. I've played it on other albums. Arm chair quarterbacks. funny how my story exactly matches Selena Johnsons story and I've never met her in my life. Somehow we coordinated timings of when we were each in the studio getting the call from Kanye. So, somehow I'm a writer, musician vocalist on "Last Call", musician & vocalist on "Never Let Me Down", vocalist on "Family Business", mixer on "Heavy Hitters" (All Falls Down B-Side) and i have dozens of other Kanye credits, both long before and long after the College Dropout, but i'm making this up for 19 years now. huh.

I feel like this is my favorite episode so far, and I've benched yo videos - I absolutely love College Dropout, but that's not why I think it's my favorite episode. It's the way you execute and explain, the interview, the editing.. Great work!

The guitars were actually done by Eric “EBASS” Johnson. Not Ken. So he didn’t “dig” deep enough

DTG Cocktail - take one larger than life music journalist. Add a pint of charisma, a litre of knowledge and bucket of intelligence. Some decks, a kick ass bass and pads. Remove any ego and bullsh*t. Upload and enjoy massively. I enjoy every one of these. Thank you again from one of your fans from the UK.

Can’t lie…I wasn’t impressed in the beginning, but from the interview and after I was won over. I thought you were gonna give fluff that most fans know but you surprisingly went more in depth on a topic that I didn’t think had anything else to offer. Can’t wait for the next vid 🔥🔥🔥

Its cool in the Jeen-Yuhs documentary, when he's getting gas for his car, he talks about how one day he's gonna have his own musicians instead of using samples. Then the album drops and he did just that!

I saw the Kanye Def Poetry Jam broadcast… knew immediately he was going to blow up… it was incredible to watch his supernova… but IMO, that performance was his peak… everything after that has been the response of a delicate psyche to the forces of fame… I’d say 808’s and Heartbreaks was his peak, but he wouldn’t own the honesty in it Looking forward to your coming feature on The Score. One more request: Blazing Arrow - Blackalicious : Gift of Gab (RIP) NEEDS more flowers
