Why Carti's Production Is Changing The Sound of Rap 

Lmk your fav new carti song ⬇ and check out the kit for the sounds I used! sonix.audio/pages/elements-of-trap

This beat style is Cardo got Wings if anybody care. The snare placement ls inspired by older Memphis beats and Three 6 mafia

you can always tell it's a Cardo beat from those iconic cowbells

cardo been doing this w keem and tanna leone as well as hella underground acts for years

Carti defo gets carried by his beats. His beat selection is insane, he's got an elite ear

Those hi hat triplets in hoodbyair stand out so much to me, hardly ever hear somewhat uniquely syncopated trap beats

Dope video, alotta Gems to unpack here🔥🔥🔥

Good job man! Thanks for sharing your knowledge im subscribing!

Yea this beat hard. Good work👏🏾

The "genius" idea of having an A and B pattern in the beat, truly revolutionary. Only cardo does this. And only on these new carti tracks.

really good video and reaaaaally good timing for it

The editing goes hard

I remember cardo, johhny juliano, and yung exclusive from Soundclick days 🔥💪🏽 Glad to see he still in the game

fire vid as always youre genuinely helping me learn sm about producing so thank you🤞

damn these vocals and openhats are sauce

Remove the cowbell and switch up the 808 pattern on the B section and u got a hit

fire video!!

Best beat tutorial ever

Bro I love the style of tutorials you make 💪🏽

fire af🔥

great video

"unique" is definitely the biggest throw around word in producing lol. great video tho

I already switched up my drum bounce since 2024 Carti.

Hi! Could you tell what program you use for video editing? Great chain for these vocal samples :O Big Up!

The key is to get your beats out there asap. Todays rap sounds like they stole my college macbook.

hardd

U a genius

Simply just use trap drums on a close to drill beat

okay

These are lowkey those baby keem beats from a couple leaks

🔥🔥🔥

Tuff beat brooo

@prodkxvi That laser sound......what drum machine had that laser sound?

There is nothing new about this sound. ATL underground has been making beats like this for years now

Cardio is this generation’s goat

💪🏻

The key thing is mix....

You nailed the drums, but i think the synths need a bit more boldness. More unique sounds, faster attack/release, it kinda reminded me more of drill. Still very educational and good

suicideboys been had this sound but good work

bro make a video about mixing melodies

Good tutorial but there’s not enough synths in your example

mega glazing 😭🙏

what did u do to transition from the a drums to the b drums

Bruh Dis is basically a darker chief keef type beat still fire tho

bra its just d rich drums on a dark melody

seeyuh

This beat is lit, you should give it to us :P

ts is so hard

W video

come on, no one is changing the sound of rap bruh... any kid with fl studio can do it ngl 😂

It's 1 semitone KXVI come on man lol

It lacks more vampire flow

the melody u made sounds more like a UK Drill type beat 😅🤣

The biggest reason is just that everybody’s always bit Cartis sound since the beginning lol

what program is this

bnyx been doing the offset snare shit for like two years, listen to wat it feel lyke by yeat

Seeyuh

Who's down to work and collab

CARDOTI

The drum style he’s doing is inspired by d.rich

W

Make a video on why rappers love wheezy’s beats

For a second I thought he said gross beat for black people 💀

what's that back round music tho😭

He listen to some newer Icytwat and decided to fuck with the beats

sounds like a normal beat

I think you were on the right track with the rhythm part, the part you called theelody because you have no idea wtf You're talking about, but anyways.... 😳... Using a stuttering phaser, adding digital distortion and reverb with the room too big but the volume almost off are the big trucks to getting the sound you were after. THEN, you have to use panning techniques (I prefer pancake 2 cuz it's free) to make the different parts move around a little bit. Idk how your daw works, but in reason, on the hats in most presets, you can set it to bend the pitch based on velocity. Then when you lay down the hats, they are pressure sensitive and the lighter you tap, the more they detune. Drying the snare helps too. The hats should have accents on the 'ands' and on the 'e's meaning when you count it: 1 e and e 2 e and e 3 e and e... Or on the 'uh's of the triplet like: 1 e uh 2 e uh 3 e uh 4 e uh... That's another thing, triplets and 3/4 time get used to create the bounce with paradiddles

These cardo beats generic fr. They aren’t as interesting as the Larry June beats

The melody was more of a drill melody

ChaseTheMoney started this whole wave of beats

idk the sycnopation is cool for these tracks, but not every rapper that raps in 1/4, and then goes to 1/8 and then triplets will be able to do that and sound good in pocket. shot out to minor 2nds, you trap producers love. sampling the wrong shit, should start sampling/ figuring out classical music thats half the melodies you all love.

you are a monster

140-150 BPM is the sweet spot for sure

i swear he use to use FL😭

this sound is around since 2000 lol this is actually a D-Rich / Shawty Redd type beat nothing else.... it's not new!

i just swear youtube producers do wayyy to much. no disrespect y’all. music has no rules tho. they made what they liked and was confident in what they did. even the “cardo” inspired beat u just made in this video still sounds like u trying to make a cardo beat. every producer should be as unique asf so we can all truly expand our genre.

but on hoodbyair they did this...

6:51 signature?! drift phonk is calling.

Send me the beat 💥💥

ad vocals

i like the video but i don't really like how this was said "if you use both of those half notes at the same time you're gonna be maximizing the dark, evil kind of energy". i just feel like it's generalizing a bit and a bit of inaccurate explanation of what's taking place w the half steps/ harmonies that could be dangerous for people trying to learn imo no hate tho frfr

so swamp izzo is fake?

Today's rap all sounds exactly the same. All of the beats sound like the same song. The sonics are so techno-ish in my opinion. 90's boom bap beats are by far the best.

If playboi carti has 100,000 fans, then I am one of them. If playboi carti has 1,000 fans, then I am one of them. If playboi carti has 100 fans, then I am one of them. If playboi carti has 1 fan, then it is me. And if playboi carti has 0 fans, then I am not longer alive…

the perc is good but the vocals kinda ruin it no hate

ehh they are ok carti doesnt really go for trap

Bro always makes good vidoes, but cardis music is just trash.

Im ngl cartis new beats are corny asf people are glazing

All that work for carti to just half ass his wordplay and lyrics i miss the Xtentacion era when songs went hard but you can actually understand it

Are we not gonna say cardo is the worst producer carti ever worked with. Not saying he trash but definitely his other production was way better

Nah Carti without Pierre isn't the same...this is bad

I think crarti is not a rapper

Generic as hell ppl just glazin

by changing you mean making it worse

Lame beat

bro doesn't know how to level his drums xD

bro none of this is anywhere near new or inventive lol

i my entyre life i never hurt this b... you talk about rap now is you make a bull.. beat bruh you thew biggest lyer ever

Cardo>Pierre 🤷🏽‍♂️
