Utopia gave everyone that's actually creative hope to be creatives again and still feel you can make it. We no longer we have to feel we need to be cookie cutter to have a fighting chance any more.
I recommend all of you go listen to Scaring The Hoes from JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown because after listening to that, I can’t help but feel like Utopia isn’t as creative as people hype it up to be. You will never hear another song like Steppa Pig or Garbage Pale Kids.
wondagurl is so so underrated, deserves all her flowers right now, played such a big role in travis and don tolivers career and for trap music in general
It’s insane that this album is primarily based off older samples cause it sounds like a lot of the samples were created from scratch recently because of how modern it sounds in todays music.
Bumping Utopia on a daily and it still grows on me. Even tho there are some sections which i dont like, i'd say its a great Album. And from the production side it definitely raises the bar
I think that just like Kanye inspired a young generation with 808's, a lot of artists in a few years from now will say that this album has inspired them.
Good video as always bro. I like what they did with the hi hats on Gods Country also. They have a very nice rhythm. My Eyes is one of my favorite songs off the album just because it’s so different. Travis has always thought outside the box. His music breaks all the genre lines.
@@NavieD for sure. The amount of effort that goes behind a Travis Scott Album is more effort than mainstream rappers put behind their whole careers and it shows.
I just happy to see someone as big as Travis Scott using samples in their songs in 2023. So many people hate on samples. They don't understand how many songs actual use them.
I love the way you explain the tricks used in drum parts! Coming up with an original drum pattern that also works well in the context of the song is legit one of the hardest things to do, but also one of those things that make the song immediately stand out (which is the case with most songs on Utopia). I'd definitely love to see more of that!
This breakdown inspired me to dive deeper into traditional African music. A lot of drum patterns to be borrowed from. This album was definitely interesting and inspiring.
Utopia the greatest album I've ever heard. I am learning as a producer, and it is helping me shape into what sound I want to make. This break down from you was incredible.
Un grand merci a BIG thanks from France it was amazing to learn about the instrumental on the Utopia album. I LOVE IT thank you again and I wish you the best.
Great video! Been experimenting with stem splicing with Spleeter, which is free, for quite some time now (a couple years). Wasn't perfect at the time, but got the job done - glad to see it's a technology that's used more now
They way you break down all these beat patterns and sound structures from most of his songs from utopia is just mind boggling. Like it's almost as complicated given the fact there's more than two producers for each song. Big ups man 🔥
This album is slowly growing on me there’s a few songs I don’t like but songs like Hyaena, telekinesis, lost forever, etc have great production and performances. BTW does anyone know which parts Alc produced on Lost Forever is it just the opening sample?
That sample reconstruction technique as you showcase it, may be new, but it's roots lie in remixing or seperating a sample into layers. That's something I hope everybody who watches these types of vids always keeps in mind, never discard "old techniques" because there may come a point in time where you can reapply them with new tools to create something innovative. That's why I like when some of your videos show off old-school techniques, because I feel like a lot of newer producers lack the connection to those.
I gotta say wow. this is awesome seeing some of these tracks broken down is unreal and the beat u created with the trav influence that shit is The Shit.
Navie D there’s one producer i’d like to see you analyze and see his ways of creativity his name is Monte Booker not many people know of him but if you do have the chance look him up he has very unique sounds
Bro I want to submit a beat one day, I’ve used so many of the techniques you’ve mentioned before even finding your channel. I just don’t feel satisfied with my beats.
So many crazy production tricks he used. Some of which i was already using or planning to use. Stem splitting is a no-brainer. I thought you would bring up how he's been using AI to manipulate some of the popular vocal samples.
