I personally dont believe in regret in passing up on beats. If you dont feel it, you dont feel it. It needs to happen organically. What happens, happens.
Exactly these videos to me really doesn’t make sense. What’s hot for a person doesn’t mean it’ll hot for another person is all about what the artiste vibes or ideas the artiste have for a song
So glad he passed on 'Dark fantasy' because Ye set that beat on fire 🔥🔥🔥 I was listening to it earlier today and it's levels ahead of alot of tracks being put out today
in context Meiko Kaji sued RZA for the sample usage but RZA denied this and began suing her and they probably settled out of court of the sample issue.
I think it’s kinda unfair to say it’s a blunder for an artist to pass on a beat. Picking the right instrumental for you is something that your soul vibes with, you can’t force a good a song.
It sounds like Drake's version of Beat 3 features additional production by the great Noah 40. You can hear it on the outro of Paris Morton Music 😎👍🏼 Thank you for the insight again my friend. It is cool to know these stories.
Drake also passed on J Coles “Mo Money” beat off of Born Sinner. Apparently Cole wasnt going to use that beat because Drake was working on it but Cole got the green light to use the beat on some last minute situation and ended up putting it on his album.
Gatekeeping a sample is everything wrong with hip-hop. That's when it becomes stealing because you took something that doesn't belong to you and kept it only for yourself. As a Middle Eastern it also annoys me how much Arabic music they sample without ever shouting out or paying respect to any of the original artists and then gatekeep so the original doesn't even get extrra listens. These are shady practices that ruined the genre and I blame everyone for allowing it.
why is "sample snitching" seen as bad thing? I'm genuinely curious, is it because it can cause legal problems if the sample is known? Is it simply just gatekeeping like you said or is there a legitimate reason behind it?
@@onatkd533 I believe it's just legal issues, some samples can belong to international/foreign giants that can easily sue someone for thousands to millions of dollars.
@@onatkd533gotta know the culture. In the 80’s and 90’s getting a sample cleared was more strict. That’s part of the point of crate digging, to find something unrecognizable. One so it sounds different and two so you don’t have to worry bout clearing it. Especially in a time where originality was everything. So if you sample snitching you fucking my money up and giving niggas a chance to sample what I did.
@@acgthamcThat argument about “the culture” sucks because if it’s a matter of someone not being able to afford to clear the sample (like back then), then that’s reasonable. But this is Rza, Pete Rock, and Kanye, they definitely could’ve afforded it. They cleared all the other samples on this album, they just didn’t do this one. Same thing with alchemist, he has enough money to clear it, he just doesn’t because he’s stingy
@@Er8outeir-rb4tc back in that time? No they probably couldn’t afford it. And it’s not that deep. The mystery is part of the culture and it make other producers try to match or find the pocket they found. I just learned like a month ago that the shook ones sample was a piano. I could’ve went my whole life not knowing the sample and been fine
Naive I need help if you can. On Drake's 'HYFR' there's a constant chord repeating in back, commonly called "pedal point" or a "drone". How is it mixed? When I try it it doesn't work and just gets very grating on the ear 😢
Navie could you do a video on the ghost pop tape please🙏 I think it would be interesting to understand how Peggy managed to deliver such a eerie and depressing message through his music. (I’m saying it now because it just got remastered!!)
13 years later and I did not know that Dark Fantasy was a sample 😱 I know that album in and out, how was it not in the credits??? You gotta sample snitch please!!!! I need to hear the original
about “gatekeeping.”: while it’s true that this is “no longer the 90s,” Navie’s choice to share the source’s audio without saying more is a respectable balance of professionalism/honoring a sense of confidentiality amongst fellow musicians, and acting as a source of musical education. i am learning so much from Navie’s videos, it never crossed my mind to criticize him for not doing sobering he wasn’t comfortable with!
On the Aston Martin music song Drake did have his own version, i actually still have it in my library and jam it on occasion i was always finding the leaks of stuff way before it came out lol.
I pray we one day get to hear Wu Tang Clan's "Once upon a time in Shoulin". Martin the Villain once played it during a Livestream and there was a beat with a 300 movie sample that ripped my head off. RZA is a genius.
almost all of the air instruments are underrated i think just because of their age..but man are they good... the riser..loom ..velvet...all of them are fire and so cheap
Navie, please tell the story of J.Cole producing beats especially the one where he produced a song for Jay Z - Brookylns on the way. THATS A CLASSIC and Jay passed on it.
What's the issue with sample snitching? Forgive my ignorance, I'm not a producer or really know nothing about producing music at all but I love listening to music.
In no way is this to undermine or mock you at all, but the sample snitched on itself when I used shamaz lmao. I'm not a producer so I can't do anything with it, but cool to see the sample came from something completely different than what I thougt
I watched a few of your videos and liked ‘em. But, brotha…when you hit that “no sample snitchin’” line, I couldn’t hit “subscribe” button fast enough!! That’s deep old school respect, right there. That’s a Golden Age era DJ/Producer protocol!! Great stuff, brotha!
They don't reject them, they copy/remake them for future use when the beat maker feels like the beat is wack and has forgotten about it few years later or months
Finally some good content about drake thats isnt straight hating.. a lot of youtubers are wasting their talented by going on drske tirsdes because they-know the incels of the internet will eat it up Not even a huge drake fan but i love deep dives on hip hop but the whole *look like at me im special i dont like something mainstream* thing is just getting annoying
I actually love the beat to Ashton Martin Music all artist was on their game, and I don't know maybe it's because my beats have a similar vibe that I dig it
you really streisand'd that sample in dark fantasy lol, if you had just silently not mentioned it you wouldn't have everyone in the comments tattling about it
All rappers and artists pass on beats Alchemist said Jay-Z passed on the beat that ended up becoming We Going to make it By Jadakiss or I remember reading how Bow Wow had the beat that ended up becoming Rick Ross-Stay Schemin before Ross got it you could make a video like this for any rapper
To play devils advocate here, you can’t say it was a mistake on his part. Every beat isn’t for everyone. Some songs only need a good singer or someone with “the right voice”, while others truly sound like they were meant for that one person. As an artist, you probably won’t catch a vibe. Everything ain’t for everyone
