I just got really sad because I realized the greatest beat of all time was probably deleted forever by some producer who just wasn’t feeling it at the time.
The 3 old friends of mine and my cousin saved all of their old beats, and some absolutely horribly mixed songs. My cousin has a song from a group of people he rapped with in high school (2013 maybe) he had a song called “Victorious.” I tell him it’s still one of my favorite songs by the group. He won’t let me listen to it again, and I’m salty. I have memories to that song.
the thing is, that i've had to learn over the years.. is simplicity works really well for the artist. it gives them lots of room to put their own flavor and creativity into it. to us producers it seems like it isn't enough or is just too basic, but that is exactly what a great artist needs sometimes. it gives them room to do their magic.
This is the exact reason I never use samples. It's too easy to make fire beats with samples, so I just play everything I use. Guess I should start using samples? 😅 (Nope) Also, they should have added Laffy Taffy to this list. As a producer, I always hated how easy that beat was, and how big the song got from that simple note sequence. Less is more apparently. 👍🏽
A big thank you for this video! I just started making beats a couple of days ago and unfortunately, I have very high standards, thanks for giving us a new perspective!
I remember watching that Alchemist DEHH interview YEARS ago and that particular segment stuck with me. As soon as I saw the title and thumbnail I knew you had it here 😂 brilliant video idea
Honestly, you should make videos just showing how famous beats were made, these really give insight in how those legendary producers work and which rythms/sounds they use.
that's probably because rappers look for different things than producers, it's easier to get a placement with an 8 bar loop copied and pasted than with a 3 section beat. And that's because it's easier to flow over a beat that doesn't change that much as well as when you make more sections or put more sounds it's more likely that some of them the rapper won't like
great video, had no idea Primo hated Memory lane, one of my favs off of Illmatic, But it's worth to add how Dre's Deep cover gave birth to Big Pun and Fat joes Twins, a far superior song in my opinion. Btw , great job with the recreations :)
Wondagurl mentioned in a breakdown video of "no favors" that she too wasn't feeling the beat because of how simple and quick she made it. I personally love listening to the instrumental rather than the song 🔥.
This was a great video. I have to be reminded often by friends and artists that only other producers care how you made the beat. You can loop something with no drums added and if the rapper likes it, it’s a go. You can also chop a sample to a 1000 piece puzzle and nobody will care. 🤦🏾♂️. Just make a tight beat and move on. Ohh and you “from scratch” producers who don’t sample, people don’t care if you played a vi-ii-iii-v-I chord progression with a synth that you designed from a sine wave layered with a wavetable oscillator 😑. At the end of the day, just make something you like 🤷🏾♂️
Nice to see The Realest make an appearance. One of my favorite Kool G Rap verses of all time (out of many), and I like the beat. From the way Mobb and G Rap spit on it, it’s hard to tell which bar of the beat is 1234 and which is 5678, which is a kinda weird thing about it.
I’ve felt like that before! Put in work on a hot beat, You’re telling yourself this the one and artist is like cool.. then a quick beat you throw together niggas like yo! This thing right here brodie!!! Is 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another beat that the producer hated was Tyler, The Creator's Yonkers track. Tyler said that he purposely made the beat sound like a trashy New Yorker beat, and he ultimately didn't like it.
I have so much music I haven't put out because of my weirdly specific standards. But even with what i have released, the music that I don't like anymore as much much tends to be my most popular. My most streamed song is a song I made during a mental breakdown and spent like 10 minutes mixing and mastering lol.
iv i've probably made thousands of beats and i can only think liking a few to this day. I genuinely believe most of my beats are just come out trash all the time and i just don't realize it in the moment, going back multiple times does help but still lol Still working everyday to improve tho. Just now over the past 4 months or so been way more consistant, even though pretty much everyday since 2019 ive been making beats.
I legitimately love my music. Why would I make somethig I hate? If I'm not feeling it while writing lll just use the time to either practice piano or seeing how I'm feeling about working in a different key or mode. Inspiration is important. I never stop looking for sorces of it.
I just had to pause the video, say whew who, and frown my face up when The Realest hit. If you know then you know. Kool G Rap and Prodigy put on a rap clinic, and the beat was just the right temperature for the clinic to occur.
for what it's worth, i never liked deep cover at first. Beat and entire song sounded garbage. Took quite sometime before i got into it. It just didn't have the feel of Dre's earlier outputs.
its not always about the aural aspect but how it all connects to make something with identity people are going to like that identity or not. The last one sounded more like a Cypress Hill beat or maybe something like Slick Rick like Indian Girl. Found it hilarious sampled a blind man for a stripper song.
I totally get why timbo hated that beat and also why missy wanted it. More rigid and simplistic than most of timbos shit but the fact is timbos worst ten beats are better than 90% of everyone elses shit.
I AGREE with Timbaland about that beat, I knew before you even said it that the issue was the lead synth. I however did like the way you recreated it a bit more!
Tbh I am shocked you didn’t talk about llcool j - momma said knock you out.. Marley marl said him self he didn’t like the beat.. however ll did and the rest is history!!
It's crazy sometimes that the beats producers don't like are the one's that artists end up jumping on. At the end of the day all beats matter whether🔥 or 💩
The way Kanye chopped that sample for Gold digger made it what it is today. If he had chopped it like most producers it would have never been anything.
Another note, Keybeats who were a production duo who were working under Timbaland, they made “Rock The Boat” by Aaliyah, they were about to delete that as well and she stopped them too.
This is so true. About 20 years ago (During the height of Lil Jon) I made a beat as tongue-in-cheek parody of his, because I hated how simplistic all his melodies were. It only took me about 10 minutes and I was literally laughing the whole time. I even named it PARODY. So a few days later I'm playing my latest beats for my brother, cousin and their friend who all rapped. I tell them I made this parody beat of Lil Jon and play it for them expected us all to get a good chuckle, they go silent and start head nodding furiously like "Yo, that one cold!". They loved it, and I was flabbergasted, lol!
Man, born in 79 growing up with Cypress Hill, Wu Tang, Snoop Dogg, Funkdoobiest, Lords of the Underground and House of Pain (to name a few) I love your detailed "how they produced it" videos from this era. Please keep em coming.
That self-conscious reaction to simplicity is real. I started making beats with a songwriting perspective as before I wrote rock songs, once I ditched that mentality and stripped down the musicality of my beats, they instantly got way better. Less is more! 🙏
I think the problem with complex beats is that we struggle to find the places we should lay our voices on, whereas if you start simple and then make it complex with time but AFTER the vocals have been laid, then there probably would be no such struggle
What I meant to say is that complex beats have their space, it's just that for us to sit better with it, we have to start simple and build it over time, you know?
I feel that, I started off in rock and struggled to get away from the songwriting/complexity issue. Working on an R&B project now and it’s been a struggle keep it in mind.
That's why I been so into the acoustic guitar the last few years. No twiddling with knobs. No picking sounds. It only sounds as good as my playing. It's just pure notes.
@@swagmund_freud6669 that's such a good mentality, I write my progressions and leads on acoustic cause I've found if it doesn't sound good unplugged then it won't sound good plugged in
GTA Online got me into listening to Dr. Dre very recently. No lie, the entire Dr. Dre missions(heists?) were all amazing to me! Best “story” I’ve seen. And hearing Dre, Rick Ross and Anderson .Paak on “The Scenic Route,” and I love it when .Paak sings on the chorus. His voice blends so well with the chorus section of the beat! I heard it for the first time on mushrooms and I put that song on repeat the entire trip.
Man, I read a book about Illmatic and I think Premier and Large Pro switched beats at the last minute, so maybe that could be why, but I agree Illmatic wouldn't be the same without Memory Lane. And One Love and Life's a Bitch were chill songs, but I'm not going to argue with Dj Premeir
Memory Lane is a great example of give and take between producer and artist. And how Nas does have good taste in beats, wanted to use the Juicy sample before Biggie did and premier said no. When Nas performs memory lane live you can tell he loves that shit
I’m guessing the Alchemist beat was the Kool G Joint off Murda Muzik. He said that shit was supposed to be an album intro. You could do a whole episode on Havoc, it seems like there’s a direct inverse relationship between his liking of his beats and the public reception of the end song.
@NavieD Genuinely is. When I feel like each part is near completion or if I'm adding stuff just to hear something different, then I take a break. Once they're finished, definitely need a good break.
@@Phosphor_Sco good lord do I feel that. Whenever my projects go live I make my social media posts about them, tag whoeever the feature is if it's a collab and then other than sharing it again every once in a while don't go near it for a good week or two so my brain can go back to liking it. I typically do like my songs, I just always need the break to appreciate what I've made
Great vid and I like how you shift the direction of your content. Interesting fact, Big Pun & Fat Joe also used Dre's beat for Twinz. Talk about trash to treasure.
producers over focus on doing difficult stuff, but these artists often need simplicity. J Dilla (the master of course) made many his beats under 15 mins and I'm not saying be like him, try to be a master of 15 mins simple perfection, he's a genius, forget impossible standards, but what can we learn from that? if drop by pharcyde was made quite quickly after Proof gave Dilla the sample, what does its ay about the power of going w what feels right. My best beats personally, to me, ones I'm glad I made, weren't ones I logged days and hours weeks in, ones that just came together in a few mins of starting. It just feels natural. No need to overproduce.
Funny thing is... I used to HATE that Realest beat by Alchemist too lol. I got older and I appreciated the simplicity of it because it gave a lot of space to them especially Kool G Rap to spit a first verse
I'm glad you came around to realizing that the fireness of this beat. Cuz you and Al were buggin out not liking that beat! Not gonna lie. 😄 Always said that Kool G spit one of his illest versus, if not the ill is verse when it came to just straight raw spittin on that beat.
@@stevesamplingmusic Underground means no TV play. This was the golden era of hip hop. It may not have been in the forefront of popular music but it definitely wasn’t underground.
It’s always the simple beat you completely made in 10 minutes that 9 out of 10 rappers will gravitate to. The beat you spent all day on and used every trick you know to make it dope is the beat they skip over after listening to for 10 seconds and tell “yo, go back to that other one” which of course is the one you pretty much made real fast with your eyes closed. Lol
Do you know how many fucking time you listen to a beat you are making? You basically listen to it the amount someone will in a month or two within like a day
'The realest' go crazy ! I like when Madlib used that sample for "Clean Up" bro broke the "rules" with the way he looped it lol Madlib notorious for not liking his own beats chosen by artist😂

Alchemist beats are very tight and suspenseful I love Snoop give you light and Jadakiss we gonna make it.
A big thank you for this video! I just started making beats a couple of days ago and unfortunately, I have very high standards, thanks for giving us a new perspective!
I was the same when I started. The path to making beats that are 'acceptable' will be longer for you, but your music will be better because of it
@@NavieD I agree but if you can kill that expectation ASAP. And learn to say ok thats enough and remember vocals will fill the beat out
Im shocked at Memory Lane being on here. That's my favorite beat on Illmatic.
Yeah I was really surprised at that one too
Halftime for me, the sample flip is just too insane and drums too tight.
It's a shit sample but the drums are hard
I remember watching that Alchemist DEHH interview YEARS ago and that particular segment stuck with me. As soon as I saw the title and thumbnail I knew you had it here 😂 brilliant video idea

That Mobb Deep "The Releast" was definitely one of my favorites to listen to back in the days and i actually still listen to this currently
Deep cover is one of the best beats of all times, at least to me

That alch beat was crazy . And it had Kool G rap!!!! Wow he didn’t like that? Crazy
Kool G Rap's verse is sooooooo damn good
Back when I made mash ups it some what bothered me that the best sounding mashup didn't require any effort, and the more I tried the worse it sounded.
Great vid as always 🤜🏾
Glad you liked it boss!

Drum pattern insane on the Missy record
This makes sense with the collection of Hits that Scott Storch has on its own.
His best work is under very smooth, melodic and simple sounds.

I am a huge Ray Charles fan and didn’t like the way he was sampled on Gold Digger. After watching your video I respect the song a bit more
Can we get one of these on down south beats?
Why does the picture keep jumping back and forth everytime you're on screen? Kind of annoying after awhile.
The Ray Charles on Gold Digger isnt an actual sample. Its Jamie Foxx.

Make a video about curren$y larry june the alchemist type beats
I miss the days of mainstream music having beats like this 😢
mate this wasn't mainstream, in the 90´s backstreet boys and the spice girls were mainstream, hiphop was still mostly underground.
@@stevesamplingmusic Underground means no TV play. This was the golden era of hip hop. It may not have been in the forefront of popular music but it definitely wasn’t underground.
Listen to Ren for some sick beats
when was karim benzema a producer?? 😭 💀
It’s always the simple beat you completely made in 10 minutes that 9 out of 10 rappers will gravitate to.
The beat you spent all day on and used every trick you know to make it dope is the beat they skip over after listening to for 10 seconds and tell “yo, go back to that other one” which of course is the one you pretty much made real fast with your eyes closed. Lol
Do you know how many fucking time you listen to a beat you are making? You basically listen to it the amount someone will in a month or two within like a day
'The realest' go crazy !
I like when Madlib used that sample for "Clean Up" bro broke the "rules" with the way he looped it lol
Madlib notorious for not liking his own beats chosen by artist😂
If I'm not mistaken, Kanye didn't sample Ray Charles for Gold Digger, but actually sampled Jamie Foxx's cover of the song.
