Preemo's use of drums are the best I've heard, simple patterns for the most part but man are they groovy, and always compliment the main loop perfectly 🙏🏻
The Bomb Squad for P.E.‘s late 80s, early 90s work was often a collage of obscure samples layered perfectly together. Their sound was a great balance of precision and chaos once Fear of a Black Planet came to be. Welcome to the Terrordome, Fight the Power, Contract on the World Love Jam, Brothers Gonna Work It Out are classics in this (and many other) regards.
I'm sure I remember Flav saying, everyone in the studio was on samplers banging out random ish, sum chaotic, carnage jamming 😂😂 I wish I cudda recorded those sessions!
Premier's definitely my favorite producer. The sample selection is so unique and the scratch hooks match the verses, often sampling the rapper's previous songs. Some excellent premier productions are "Nas is like", Mos Def's "mathematics", and Royce's "Boom". Got hit by the Premier virus about 20 years ago when I heard "Full clip" in the DC skate video. Immediately ditched the punk rock and still fully enjoy hiphop. Recently picked up some Akai gear to start making beats and loving this channel!
I don’t understand people saying Pete Doesn’t get the credit…he’s a legendary producer and when you mentioned the top five producers of all time he’s in the top 3 next to dilla and premier
@@knowEgo not amongst these new generations of listeners. He'll get the who is Killer Mike treatment. Also you're trying to project your personal list on everybody. I never heard anyone mention Pete Rock amongst the greatest especially these days. All you hear is Metro, Hit Boy, etc
@@keejay12 that's because you're speaking of Rap Music not Hip Hop its a difference....you're probably under 30 Yeats old so you only know the trap and Mumble rap producres......
@@keejay12 well he is older and that's a blessing you better hope you live a long life and not go out like King Von, Xxxxtention, PnB Rock and Takeoff and the sad part is I'd never heard of any of these rappers until they were killed! Respect the OG's because without them yall wouldn't have crap
Pete Rock was Truely groundbreaking with that repeating/fade in and out style with horns. Knowing how to fill the sonic space without clutter is crucial and takes a good ear. For a part 2 I would love for you to do a whole show on The Bomb Squad. They were masters at filling the sonic space to the brink of chaos but still was funky as hell. Another great video Navie!
Right. When you listen to original horn sample, it's too busy. He dropped the middle part so it only sounds like a 3-note horn loop, but that's what gives it the driving energy.
Also the key back then , its was all by ear. You could see the waveforms like now. So with eps 16. U had punch in abd ouch out so prescise or start all over, no adjusting. But it was sooo fun.
@@knowEgo Yes, I know people would argue both of those. If you want my opinion, even though you didn’t ask, I’ll give it. Dilla was great but his legacy gets blown out of proportion due to his death (RIP- Dilla). Premier is great but his style is very simple in comparison to Pete. Premo’s drums are great and his use of silence is unmatched, but Pete is the master of layering from so many different sources and making the puzzle complete. 🤷🏾♂️
@@jjbing3 - I agree with you Dilla is slightly overrated and his legacy has grown since he passed to legendary status because he was not considered a legend when he was alive. Pete Rock is my second favorite producer- I’m my first lol 😂 jk but Pete’s that dude!!
Yeah this has definitely become my favorite production RU-vid channel. Keeping Boom Bap at the forefront 💯 This video was dope as hell. Some of my favorite producers of all time along with Havoc, Alchemist, Just Blaze, Nottz, Timbo, & Dre of course. Keep putting out this amazing content bro!
The ‘golden era’ is not a style. It is a time in hiphop that contains many styles, of which boombap is just one. And boombap may not be as dominant now as it was then, but there are tons of acts still creating it, and enjoying succes while doing so.
you genuinely have one of the best channels on RU-vid. the producer in me wants to be upset due to gatekeeping and "sample snitching" but goddamn if you aren't thorough and comprehensive
Love this channel. AND I also love the fact you listed Maschine as DAW, since I been using it I started to prefer making beat in it to logic, even tho it has its limitations in some senses, the sound that comes out of it smokes logic, and think it gets really slept on.
You gotta do a video on Jermaine Dupri, he’s one of my favorite producers & he also helped revolutionize the sound of hip hop from the late 90’s to the mid 2000’s. His sound is untouchable. His use of hi hat patterns & punchy sounds. His list of artists he’s worked with are Jayz, Nelly & st lunatics, da brat, bow wow, Mariah Carey, Kriss kross, jagged edge, destiny’s child & more
Awesome video and I like your message at the end. I don't make beats anymore, but when I did, I remember that listening to other genres always gave me some inspiration and ideas for my own beats.
DJ Premier's work on Jeru's 1st album is some of my favourite production of his. Totally leftfield from anything he'd done before and his cutting and scratching skills, especially on 'Come Clean' are hugely underrated.
ughhh, I love me some Isley brothers. Ron's joint, Contagious, is a classic! Also, RIP Pimp C. This vid was extra special for me. It reminded me of when I was younger. lol I had a good friend who was the "backpacker" style of rapper and he always tried to get me to make boombap/conscious rap type beats. On the original Garageband that he had. lol Thank God for FL Studio.. Cheers, Navie and fellow producers.
Some names for part 2: Marley Marl (Ain't No Half-Steppin', Mama Said Knock You Out), Easy Mo Bee (Flava in your ear, Str8 ballin'), Trackmasters (Street Dreams, Shootouts or whatever with Nas), DJ Muggs (The Foundation, Insane in the Brain, Jump Around), Dr. Dre (Deep Cover, Nuthin but a G thing, Straight outta Compton), Daz Dillinger (2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, Ain't No Fun), The Beatnuts (No escapin' this, Off the Books), Rockwilder (Da Joint).
I wish Navie made a video specifically talking about Pete Rock's beats, I'd love to learn more about his style and there really aren't many videos on youtube talking in depth about him. Also, part 2 please.
PS. For part 2... Buckwild, Large Professor, EL-P (Company Flow era), and Erick Sermon are my suggestions. I've seen you do great content on Havoc and The Alchemist, so thought these guys above might be cool to do.
MARLEY MARL, LARGE PROFESSOR and EASY MO BEE. Be sure to breakdown Large Professors sample usage on Main Source's - Faking the Funk if you wanna talk about seamless layering. Also, Easy Mo Bee's sample chop and sequencing on Big's - Going Back to Cali. Be sure to include that Marley Marl was first to start chopping and arranging drum hits and record samples when others were still using synth drums and live instrumentation... he laid the blueprint for others to improve on. His work on BizMarkie - Make The Music, will still shake a stadium into rubble today. 🔥🔥🔥
it's crazy how these early producers did such revolutionary things with samples using very restrictive equipment, especially with the EPS, SP, and early MPCs where you had to chop sounds by ear
Love this one. All 3 are all time classic beats, ice cream is one of my all time favorites and man...Nas is like is so timeless still. Preemo really is the GOAT.
Paul C, Diamond D, Eric Sermon, Prince Paul and DJ Shadow...of course not a boombap producer but nevertheless I remember that his way of chopping, layering and arranging samples made a big impression back then.
