😂😂😢...crazy timing again. Like Dilla said "Shake the haters"(make em NV). Great video bro. As far as teleporting, how do scenic routes fit that narrative? Safe travels 😂
Dahi has been one of my biggest inspirations since the first time I listened to Money Trees. He has produced some of my favorite beats ever: A Lot by 21 Savage, Kendrick's LUST., Worst Behaviour by Drake and Self Care by Mac, and you can learn something different everytime you listen to one of his beats. Truly one of the greatest of this generation.
It's crazy how this is seen as something unique. Grime producers were doing this nearly two decades ago, before the trap sound started watering the sound of Grime down
YESSSSSS!!! I absolutely love this approach! I have made so many beats that seem "out of timing" or with an odd rhythm, but this video gives me reassurance that I was onto something! Thank you so much Navie!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I've been doing these things for years ... glad someone doing it is finally getting some recognition among the production world if not with the fans at times! Love experiments!
Bravo as always man. I really like these beat breakdowns that aren’t just “how do you copy this artist” but really more showing us why we should appreciate them. It’s inspirational as fuck!
He's been one of my favorites since I heard "Money Trees" by Kendrick Lamar. Some of my favorites of his are "Gravity" by Brent Faiyaz, "The Helium Balloon" by Wale, "Mercury" by Steve Lacy, "Deep Water" by Dr. Dre & "Power" by Baby Rose. His sound is so diverse, it's hard to keep up with him
The deconstruction of his drumm Game was mind blowing 💯💯💯 Great Job Navie, for Sharing this Amazing Video and give DJ dahi his Flowers while he is still here 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amazing video my friend! My drum patterns are the thing I've been focusing on a lot lately to try and expand my grooves and give a different bounce to my beats. It can be extremely difficult to pull off as you mentioned. Especially when getting into changing stuff like the snare. Usually that I still keep on the 2 and 4/3 and 7 and just play with the timing of my kick, bass, and hats. Almost never add toms either. Lol. So much inspiration from this vid, thank you! 🙏🏻 Also 200k?!? Lets goooo! Congrats man.
Great vids as usual! I don't see a lot of content makers speaking on Swizz Beatz style and a tutorial on Swizz Beatz. His style was just as recognizable as Timbaland or Alchemist. He had a very unique style that is hard to imitate. I would love to see a Swizz Beatz video and how he achieved that old Ruff Ryders sound. Thanks you the GOAT!
Conductor Williams definitely deserves some shine, he produced the intro track to Call me if You Get Lost. originally a Westside Gunn track called Michael Irvin
DJ Dahi is indeed a underated GOAT Producer. Def in my Top 10. Tried to send him some samples a couple of times already :D One additional info that i want to point out about Dahi is that he also knows when to keep it simple. As you showed in his video he has a very unique production style, but for some beats like Money Trees he kept it very simple and basic with the drum pattern and also just reversed the sample (i'd even say reversing samples is one of Dahis signature sounds as well)
Hmm. It's hard to say. With a beat like Drug Dealers Anonymous, I would say that beat is anything but simple. I have no idea what the hell is going on in that beat, it's so complicated
Finally, you re talking about dahi, and now I'm completely shore that I came to the right place, over and over again. You ll be one day on this spots Navie, ty man, aaand meanwhile you teleported here, I saw you!
Honestly... The most beats from DJ Dahi you showed in this vid sounded very straining for me. But mad respect for your beat example, Navie. Sounds smooth👍
If you’re able to I’d love to see you do a video on Kenny Segal and the work he’s done with Billy Woods. I feel like if anyone can do tutorials on unconventional production styles it would be you
I appreciate the timing of the overall theme. Not being that it's non-existent, just rarely recognized for what it is. Thanks for noting Dj Dahi, I need to check him out more. Thanks for the slick therapy session too 😂. I'm kinda broke, but I'll pay attention and share with my producer friends. Peace.
Finally someone talks about Dangerous by Schoolboy Q. Honestly one of the songs that got me into producing along with like We Cry Together by Kendrick & Alchemist
Nice. Dahi is so talented. I loved watching him cookup on fliko channel. I even downloaded twitch and made an account just to see him cook! Lol. He also has a good energy about him.
@@NavieD Indeed! I actually just went a little while ago and re-listened to it, to make sure I knew what I was talking about, and was re-captivated all over again. lol I even shouted Dahi out in a comment. Cheers!
dope video! didn’t know about DJ Dahi before (i prob don’t know bout most producers tbf) now i do… i think w guys like this and Dilla they aren’t being diff just for the sake of it, it’s just what sounds good to them while they’re cooking and they’re secure in who they are to just go w it, when others may be afraid to “dare to be different”. i.e. they just doin what feels right to them, so do what feels right to you, don’t do this just bc DJ Dahi does it
tbh most of my beats the past few years are like this, i just got tired of hi hats tbh and after years of producing trap drums just felt like they weren't hard to make anymore. i started by cutting out alot of hi hats and adding double open hats in weird places, then it led to taking out some snares and then adding them back in at weird places. Then the use of percs as snares in alot of drake songs from that time inspired me to start adding percs and switching percs and snares in weird places and next thing you know im making beats that dont make any sense and i cant explain at all how i made them but all my homies wanted them!!! basically what im saying is that it takes time, you have to change the way you make/understand beats, you can't just wake up and make a DJ Dahi type beat one day!! IMO you have to be a very very high level of producer to consistently make beats like this.
On one hand his beats are pretty cool...on the other hand its hilarious how little of a change is needed in popular music to be considered revolutionary...some off kilter drums and boom...He's a genius lol
We changed song writing in 1995, then we changed hip hop in the early 2000’s, unfortunately most people just listen to what’s hot, so it goes unnoticed...until it’s discovered 20-30:years later....
Hello Navie can you breakdown the sound of phantogram. especially the song fall in love which samples barbara mason. i know they do their own instruments on top of the sample but phantogram has also been hugely influenced by j dilla.i would love to see the breakdown of fall in love
I just started using FL studio a few weeks back after wasting time (in my opinion) with soundtrap and bandlab for a while and I feel so much more free on an actual DAW. These tutorials have been instrumental (pun accidental) in learning workflow efficiency and cool little tricks so I just want to thank you for the freedom your videos have helped me find in this hobby of mine.
i feel like he's inverting the fundamentals. kinda flipping them upside down, or using the down beats instead of the up beats. and also using the lesser used sounds in replace of the common ones. nice
"Then I'll do a bunch of other stuff, while pretending like I'm building this on the spot. When in fact I actually spent hours working on this beforehand." Lmfao, you're the man bro.
DJ Dahi finally getting his flowers 💯💯💯 The beat for Worst behaviour honestly kinda changed my life I don’t think I even liked rap that much before that tbh I always use toms lol What you said about the delicacy of overdoing it is so beyond true Dahi is a monster He’s basically OVO era timbaland
Very seldom is a rapper going to choose a beat with unconventional/off grid drums. By watching Dahl interviews, I suspect he does the drum changes during the session or in post production, after the vocals are already tracked.
I like DJ Dahi’s beat (the first one, in case there are shown more than one in the video, I just paused), it’s not unusual though. Regarding hip hop, I would agree to you, but it’s not unusual when it comes to other genres like jazzier stuff e.g. This beat reminds me some of the Radiohead-style drum beats (Phil Selway)
