@@tellthetroops Really only one name on yo list that hold weight and that’s Pierre. Cardo has been around since wiz Khalifa days. Cardo also won a Grammy wit Drake gods plan. The people you named do not hold weight like that
As a Bay Area native, this man really been the 🐐 for YEARS. Kinda sucks that it took the Carti songs for this side of the culture to really really appreciate his talent. This man would do some shit for Taylor gang then some for iamsu HBk gang, then jay z or meek and present day doing full projects w Larry June while working w Carti and Kendrick shits 🔥🔥
Yeah hopefully the newer fans can see this and see some of the history he’s been part of like all the Wiz stuff. Had to pack it all into 40 min but there’s still so much more to cover here (Larry June, Pierre, etc)
First heard Cardo was with the collab with Pierre Bourne. The “wild adventure” tape. To hear that and now hear him on Larry June songs and stuff. Man is a valid genius and god in his class.
I got into Cardo with that tape too, that's also one of my top 3 Pi'erre tapes. Cardo definitely deserved his flowers for those beats, and the beats he made up until now fs
Cardo’s versatility is insane. The Larry and Payroll collabs are fan favorites but the mainstream bangers are undeniable. Him co-producing on Euphoria is yet another accomplishment 💯
If it wasn’t for Cardo, Sledgren, Johnny Juliano, SSO, Vybe beats & the whole early 2010 vibe I probably wouldn’t have kept producing music. These guys literally were the sound of that time period 💯
Johnny Juliano's type beats were ahead of its time. From the super clean mix, the 808 slides, the open hat slides, the use of vox's, the leads, punchy kicks, bro is a pioneer fr
Cardo been around since before Pierre was born 😂 like almost literally. Pierre probably wasn’t even producing beats when Cardo already had major placements. What you even tryna say 😂
Arshan you, and the KTO team have a way of matching the interview setting/set design with the vibe of the interview. I noticed it especially with the OpiumBaby interview.
If you really pay attention , most people fav producer is recognized by their tag, Cardo so goated you recognize him by his drums & that signature cowbell THATS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF LEVEL OF FLEXIN Cardo a top 5 of all time cuz as a producer , he brought the sound that a lot of other producers wanted to construct , fusing old school with the new school but it in a fly refreshing way
Cardo the goat and was always the most authentic, glad i met him in NAMM 2019 in Anaheim, CA - my top 3 fav producer of all time and im very influenced by his drums especially the cowbells and kicks
This was fire - thanks for highlighting Cardo. I'm a huge rap fan and I still learned a bunch. Had no idea he produced Family Ties and Euphoria. Keep up the great work man 🙌🏽💪🏽
Man, this was so dope to see! Been a fan of Cardo since hearing him produce stuff for Curren$y back in the day - would love to see a fully produced project for Curren$y
Huge fan of this man's productions! This interview could've been 3 hours long and I would've watched the whole thang! Man yall left out all the classic with Payroll though! That Pi'erre tape was classic. Definitely when he work Wiz, Spitta, and Larry, its a instant smash! Man got hits with Chang Chang too! Wiz got Wings was outta here too! Yall need to do a part 2 of the interview!
that was great. this interview alone will add respect to KTO and bigger interviews will come. no TMZ bullshit like all the big intervewiees. great stuff thanks.
cARDO is easily one of the best if not the best in the last like 15-20 yrs. i feel like in the last 5 or soo hes been a bit more quite n working with alot more underground artist, but u cant deny his career and growth. not many can go work n produce a whole album with an uknown artist, and then right after put out a record with the biggest artist in the world
So damn inspiring bruh I remember first hearing kush & OJ Yall kids wouldn’t know how that tape shifted culture . One day ima work with Cardo the goat 🤞🏽🦅🎧
In my opinion I feel like Cardo embodied G funk and that Dirty South/Midwest sound.. like Do or Die and kept the torch burning.. even the gritty tracks like Dave East "Type Of Time" have a groove that's undeniable.. I think I started listening round Kush and OJ .. and been tuned in since
Ever since euphoria came out I’ve listened to this euphoria/hoodbyair mashup. I think if he or someone posted that on his SoundCloud more people would be exposed to how talented of a producer he is
Cardo a mf legend man i love how he be tapped in wit smaller artists and working with them while producing some of the biggest songs today, like he be fw nutso thugn & icytwat which is hard also i wish we got that Tony shhnow x Cardo tape that was supposedly supposed to come out in 2021
Cardo all love all the way from Baltimore bro that was real when you had the mentality to turn all the way up after the TG split I felt that and can we get another cardo+curren$y collab please 🙏🏾

Why didn’t u mention Pierre Bourne and there album they have ???I thought bro was a fan apparently not 💯
Mike N Keys
clams casino?
Cardo is right. Why do people leave him off lists? Hes produced some of the biggest songs ever every year while having a signature sound
‼️
slow down it’s a cool sound just not game changing like bynx pierre or wod or legion x lukrstive or even gyro
cuz his name dont hold weight he a lame
@@tellthetroops Really only one name on yo list that hold weight and that’s Pierre. Cardo has been around since wiz Khalifa days. Cardo also won a Grammy wit Drake gods plan. The people you named do not hold weight like that

@@KidsTakeOvernawww u did well styll. very comprehensive, very illuminating as to who cardo is both as a producer and a person
better late than never
Nah that’s real shit tho
I love this comment cuz I dunno how people only know of the corny shit with Carti. If anything carti’s songs only blew up because of Cardo’s sound 😂😂
Cardo is one of the dopest producers of this generation. His albums with Payroll Giovanni & with Larry June is bananas
Yh the payroll albums big boss vol 1& 2. Be fire 🔥
One of the best producers out. Every beat be hard.
Facts!
First heard Cardo was with the collab with Pierre Bourne. The “wild adventure” tape. To hear that and now hear him on Larry June songs and stuff. Man is a valid genius and god in his class.
man that tape with pierre was around 7 years after his first hit, he is timeless
Smokin gas man that shits my elixir
That’s actually tight as fuck as an introduction to Cardo, mine was Every Season by Cousin Stizz, then I went down the rabbit hole of his discog
Yea bro that tape is fire
I got into Cardo with that tape too, that's also one of my top 3 Pi'erre tapes. Cardo definitely deserved his flowers for those beats, and the beats he made up until now fs
Cardo been doin cowbells w/ Wiz
Cardo’s beat for “Can’t Stay Sober” by Wiz Khalifa is underrated. It sounds so angelic and euphoric, one of my favorite beats.
Check smoke break from Sledgren, same melody
Wiz Khalifa & Dom Kennedy & Larry June, Curren$y mixtape/blog era!! Iyktyk! Since 2010 we been fw Cardo! Glad bro finally gettin his props 😤🔥🔥🔥✅
Brooo fr! Glad someone commented this. Got put on to Cardo listening to Kush and Orange Juice
I love Larry but i wouldn’t include him in the blog era, he ain’t pop out till 2015-2016
Love seeing producers getting their props. They’re literally the backbone of all the music we love
genuinely the most underrated producer of our time
Cardo’s versatility is insane. The Larry and Payroll collabs are fan favorites but the mainstream bangers are undeniable. Him co-producing on Euphoria is yet another accomplishment 💯
Cardo been slept on for a while but those who know knows. I'm glad homie getting his proper recognition now.
Cardo rly been producing the biggest songs of the past decade +
Facts!
If it wasn’t for Cardo, Sledgren, Johnny Juliano, SSO, Vybe beats & the whole early 2010 vibe I probably wouldn’t have kept producing music. These guys literally were the sound of that time period 💯
What to happen sledgren
@@heemdollas8016 He still producing from what I heard
Damn Johnny Juliano he defo made some classic cuts for wiz

Johnny Juliano's type beats were ahead of its time. From the super clean mix, the 808 slides, the open hat slides, the use of vox's, the leads, punchy kicks, bro is a pioneer fr
Not mentioning Pierre with cardo is crazy
Cardo been around since before Pierre was born 😂 like almost literally. Pierre probably wasn’t even producing beats when Cardo already had major placements. What you even tryna say 😂
This comment is terrible lol
Arshan you, and the KTO team have a way of matching the interview setting/set design with the vibe of the interview. I noticed it especially with the OpiumBaby interview.
Love 🙏🏽 everything curation, taste, design, etc is so important to myself & the brand
@@KidsTakeOver It really does show from A through Z. You’re a huge inspiration to me and many creatives. Much love from Texas
Good to see Cardo getting his flowers. One of the most consistent producers of the last 15 years, so many different styles of beats too
Nah seriously! This man has literally been evolving since the blog era
This is actually such a legendary interview
If you really pay attention , most people fav producer is recognized by their tag, Cardo so goated you recognize him by his drums & that signature cowbell THATS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF LEVEL OF FLEXIN
