I wouldn't believe everything he says about what was made on an iPad. He states he uses an iPad mini (came out in 2012, beat was made in 2010) maybe he upgraded later down the line, but not many DAW apps were about then. Not saying he didn't make it on the iPad for this particular one, but something to think about. He also states Bandana was created on an iPad. The beat for massage seats was used for a BLU song in 2012 called "Funky Cowboy Meets The Funky Drummer" The middle of Fake Names was originally a beat Track 25 on Raw Cake 4, which came out in 2007. There are a lot more examples of this, which you can dig and see for yourself. Madlib is still one of, if not my favourite, producer. This is not shade at him, but unless he is a time traveller - not all the beats he claims were made on an iPad were actually made on one
@@Pharcyde139he def recycled beats. Smh Idk why not just say he using older beats. I guess to not look lazy maybe? Idk but he’s still a master at his craft
@@b1slee267oh for sure. I think he likes messing with people tbh, having the majority of people think it was all done on the iPad when it really wasn't, he might get a kick outta that. Either way, he's a beast. I've made beats on an iPad, personally can't imagine choosing that over an MPC. They're good for sketching ideas here and there. I know big productions can be done on them, but it's a lot more janky than using equipment and a computer
I started listening to DOOM when I was 15 then I found Madlib soon after and I’ve never heard better beats than madlibs and never heard better rhymes than DOOM’s
Over the last 25 years, Madlibs music is so incredibly diverse. The Quasimoto beats are totally different to the Freddie Gibbs stuff, which is then totally different to the Jaylib & Madvillainy and shades of blue beats. But you’ll find similar trends across most of these albums which relates to where he sources his samples - bollywood & Brazilian soul for example
Dont forget the madlib medicine show series where he specifically samples one genre or country for the whole beattape or history of the loop digga series🎉😊
I have been a silent viewer for close to two years now, and it makes me happy how far you've come. You're one of the best teachers I have seen and have a very high production quality, every subscriber is deserved
Madlib for me has always been the distillation of simplicity over complexity, when it comes to beats. Simplicity meaning not adding unnecessary complexity to samples but instead musically looping and reshaping them. Idk if that makes sense totally, but definitely feels like he's collabing with the original artist to createsomething raw, new or flipping it entirely. When I first heard Raid on Adult Swim watching The Boondocks back in 2000 whenever, it kicked off something for me sound wise, there's just something about the way he makes a beat that calls back to that feeling of watching Swim bumps in your living room late at night or riding the bus in LA.
I'm absolutely hype for this video. Madlib, Dilla and The Alchemist are my biggest inspiration. I've been studying his Medicine Show Series as I would like to mix beats like that. His top 5 easily.
The part about having the same resources and samples MADLIB has is really inspiring. One of my favorite things about the modern era is how low the walls to creation have become. Yes, it's lead to a lot of uninspired stuff by people just trying to make a buck, but the fact that every potential producer is empowered through the sheer amount of resources we have access to now and can potentially reach the same level as the Madlibs or Dillas through refining their craft and just working at it, without worrying about being priced out or running out of samples is truly beautiful and inspiring to me.
love this! I need to study more producers like Madlib. Thanks again Navie! p.s. I see you got that new version of Serato Sample! That stem separation feature is such a game changer
What a Day flew under my radar, ty VERY much for making it appear in this video, it's beautiful. Making raw music really is such a cheat code btw., love how anything goes if you just do it well.
mentally made this swap a few years ago now, sorta coming to the same conclusion. looking back now its the best music i've worked on to date and resulted in 5 fully produced albums! create now and reflect on it later. madlib is the greatest, the true definition of a creative. thanks for sharing this perspective i hope it helps others.
Amazing stuff Navie!! You're always dropping gems. 🙌🏾 I love your content. Keep pumping these out man. Incredibly detailed descriptions. I do think you left out the part about how Madlib clears those samples, presuming that he clears them at all or is just that much of a 🐐😂
This is refreshing! I do a lot of these very same things, albeit to a lesser extant in terms of success and talent, but this is a nice confidence booster. lol Thanks, Navie!
To piggyback on your labels comment: labels back in the day were also considered to be “houses” where a lot of the same musicians, gear, studios, tracking, mixing and mastering engineers were used for multiple recordings and gave the label an entire sonic character. WB vs Columbia vs Motown vs CTI., the List goes on, all had their own sound… check it out! 🤘🏾
Thank you! My 3 Best producers of all time. Madlib The Alchemist J Dilla In that order. I'm a Dilla student before you come for me. BombSquad were the Blueprint though
Love your videos man. I always thought some of madlib beats have the most unique sort of walking feel to the kicks.. I've heard similar vibes with flying lotus and dilla but nothing quite like the man himself
thanks for the video. madlib is a wizard and sampling is such a beautiful art form. it's just important to give credit where credit belongs imo. (and eventually royalties 🐸👍) also OMG through this video i just found out about serato 2.0, so i just updated and now excuse me i have to make a beat real quick 😋
Speaking on using the same song to sample for multiple beats-RZA used The Charmel's "As Long As I Got You" for "C.R.E.A.M.", "7th Chamber", & GZA's "I Gotcha Back". I have a few tracks where I do. There's one right now that I've released 2 songs out of it and about to do another😂Nice video
if anyone can help me with this.. there is this track from madlib with stacy epps called "the way that i live" and at the very end at minute 3:57 there is this beat switch but shortly afterwards the beat already fades out and the track ends. but man, this beat there at the end sounds so amazing to me and i always wondered if there is a full or at least longer version of this beat somewhere. if anyone knows, please let me know ✌️
Hey, it sounds like you do real research to put our talks together. Like how the heck do you so often find the samples that were used for those productions? Like with this video. That would also make a great youtube talk. You doing your searching and discovering! But maybe you already have one. Just an idea. Maximum respect. I'd love to know what you think of Plunderphonics and John Oswald!! I'd be so happy to hear your opinion of him!! That's some serious sampling!! I payed with Orb and we did a live version of Little Fluffy Clouds here in Berlin. That was cool (I play trumpet as well as compose. )
@@NavieD no 😅 Urbaniak is Polish jazzman, who was playing im NY. Legend, fantastic musician. Quincey Jones was playing with him . I know his music was sampled also by Q-Tip on midnight marauders.
I listen to music way more than I make music but I don't think anyone can copy a guy like Madlib or Dilla. If you really study what these guys were doing, THEY probably couldn't tell you how every sound in their catalog was made
Madlib is one of my favorite producers- for awhile he was my favorite producer! To keep with the theme of this video(Simple) Example; if you go to the club and shoot your shot at 50 girls you’ll get about 10-15 number but if you just shoot your shot at 5 girls you might leave empty handed! Point is Madlib’s a volume producer….that’s his secret!!
The funny thing is, in the 80's and 90's any genre was sampled, it was standard . It wasn't until the wider mainstream caught on to it that it was put in categories like hiphop jazz. Any ill loop with a dope beat is hiphop full stop.
Si le pones subtitulos en español a tus videos te aseguro q incrementará tus views y subscriptores por lo menos el doble... tengo decenas de amigos que buscan contenido como este... saludos desde Argentina... Navie goat
I will chop a sample faster more exact on fruity loops and rearrange it in killer way and destroy any MPC user any day. I’ve used both. MPC is a slower way to get one sound type. I can get any sound type in FL Studio.
@@Marvin-ut4xs yeah I wanted an MPC and honestly was like damn this is fruity loops with a harder to use touch screen and limited vsts and drum sounds I could have downloaded for a monthly fee from splice
Cool video. But in the interview he doesn’t state he samples from youtube. Only that he listens to the youtube rip. Maybe he samples it as well, but he doesn’t say that.
That is why you could not say that Roc Marci (with all respect due to him), you could not say that he invented New Boom Bap. When you listen to what Madlib was doing in 1994 with a song like "I declare war". And I am not even talking about Kool Keith flow influence on so many old and new mcs.
