6:04 If you listen to Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight” the drum and the chords follow that song almost exactly the same. The same with the song Luther. You can play Luther Vandross “If the World Were Mine” on top of Luther it follows the same chord progression almost exactly for the entirety of the song.
Fun Fact: Phil Collins made "In the Air Tonight" All off of his Nasty Divorce he was going through at the time. He mentioned all the words were the Pain that he went through.
Most tracks were produced by Jack Antonoff. I think what stood out to me was the album’s overall simplicity and crispy production. Felt different and a standout from Kendrick’s typical releases (not saying that’s good or bad, just different). It all felt cohesive to me as a project. The only tracks I really liked though were squabble up, hey now, and dodger blue.
To be fair one of the big reasons these work is that Kendrick is able to ride them. I wonder if it'd be hard to find a rapper or vocalist who could utilize them well
This is what makes beat making so hard to get into, theres no real rules, you just have to find a way to make things sound good, this album shows it perfectly by including reversed sounds, using samples as just brief chops and making drum patterns just odd (rolling kicks, toms replacing kicks and snares even which I never even thought could be a possibility.) This is why I both love and hate music production as a "beginner" producer myself 😭
Note grabber needs to record without needing to press record. Needs graph measuring where bar hits. And auto quantizing with quantize measure change. And lastly thank you so much! I always said if wave candy could just push settings further. And scale up the bottom end more it would be perfect. Forget about anything over c5 after we full zoom! Haha
The thing Mustard do with leaving gaps (sample stops then drums play for a bit) is something i always found interesting when DJ Premier did it. Example : Nas is like
Love this. Also notegrabber. I wanted something like it since I saw the FL Studio plug-in it’s based on in a series of tutorials on uhe's zebra 2 synth.
Fun fact: man at the garden actually uses the same or a very similar midi to Nas's "One Mic." If you go listen to that song, you'll probably hear it. May be different sounds but the midi itself it almost a one-to-one recreation of that song's midi
The lengths producers go to literally code an entire app which turns chords into midi notes, all to avoid learning music theory 😂 I feel you though I've been fucking around with music for 20 years and I'm really learning the rules of harmony this year. It's funny how far you can get with an attentive pair of ears though.
its easy to make creative changes to the structure of your beats when you already have a platform. Most producers would input these beats in their daws and say this is trash why am i reinventing the wheel, people will say the beat is trash, or the classic "off beat". Sad
Don't know where all the hate for this album coming from. This is some of the best rapping and music production coming out currently. Only comp to what Kendrick has done this year is Tyler the Creators new album. As always, thanks Navie D for putting the specs out there for the rest of us.
@@tHEbELLVILLEaDDITION I don’t think it’s hate- I think Kendrick is not as good as he once was. It seems like all the over praising has over inflated his ego to think anything he does is Great- it’s not though. This album does not sound good to many hiphop fans.
He's pissed at people that are talking about him without knowing shit.. Not caring about perfect enunciation because he's pissed.. It's not every song he's doing it.
Notegrabber is good, but I think it would be alot better if it had a export midi option where you can jsut export all the midi by clicking and dragging, going one by one highlighting the notes can be tedious. If it had this option I would buy it, i just finished my trial version of it.
when i first heard the beat on 'man at the garden' to me it sounds like an inspiration of drake's old beats he used to hopped on like that dark underwater r&b sound with the moody synths toms and minimal drums it could be something off of his 2009 so far gone mixtape or take care is it just me?
@@fade2blak91 As a beat maker, I have recently changed my approach to making music. It's not about how complex it is. It's all about how it sounds. There are beats with only drums and a bass that sounds sick.
@NavieD No, I'm referring to the drums you made to prove the point you were making about how unique the drums were, no good produce would end up with the example you made.
Its unique for sure, and not many other people would end up where he did, but it was kinda like saying most producers would create slop, I like the other examples you made tho. The first one just felt extreme.
Come on everyone… admit it… “maybe” some of this minimalist production on this DOPE Album, could have been influenced by LaRussell’s minimalist and acoustic production? Im just saying 😂

Or squabble up

None smh... the Heart part 6 is the only bearable....
Warning to BWB: You better not steal this video idea. We see you!
Yesssss.
He's stealing every video idea
I'm stealing as we speak
He's coming 😂

Well luther is a sample of that song
The man in in the garden is def inspired by phil song & the progression of one mic
What’s crazy is I’ve been doing most of these lately. This gives me even more hope for my music production
Didn’t like the GNX beat when I first heard it, then I HEARD it. I was able to appreciate it once I figured out the “1” was on the “2”😅
@@chunkadelic1 that’s what I’m saying bro ! People like “the beat simple” but did y’all actually HEAR it tho

I legit didn’t want this video to ever end
Yea it’s well done
Crazy good video, being able to SEE what the producers did visually is gonna help me a ton man, thanks a whole lot 🙏🏽
noteGRABBER was difficult at first, but once I got used to it, it was a lot of fun.
from japan
@@NavieD ‼This makes me happy.
@@NavieDI’d say maybe just add a lil manual pdf. I know I’d read tf outta it. Been a big help for bass lines and lead rhythms for me 🫡
I can’t even get it to work on S1. I installed it twice but it just don’t show up. I’m not even gonna get the free trial I guess
I love Hey Now so much for it's uniqueness
Man at the Garden is just Kendrick’s version of Nas -One Mic
They both interpolate in the air tonight by Phil Collin’s
It’s most likely his take on starring at the world through my rear view. Which also samples Phil Collin’s.
@@Syckwun no its most likely an interpolation attempt for nas given the context of the rest of the song
Live musicians was used on gnx to complement the samples
These patterns and structures are similar to the loops I would be making until 5am, then delete then next day, on reflection, 10 years ago. WHY!
Hahah that's funny
@@NavieD ...but completed loops on my channel!
Because they're trash.
That’s a “Why!” did I delete them. Great album
To be fair one of the big reasons these work is that Kendrick is able to ride them. I wonder if it'd be hard to find a rapper or vocalist who could utilize them well
I already like the album but after this video I enjoy even more
So much of these beats reminded me of Devin Malik’s production
Awesome video like alaways. Kendrick is my favourite rapper so this video is coming at a great time !
his producers need more credit damn !!!
You are a blessing brother! Thank you for putting us on some serious game
Smart move with note grabber
getting us hooked on the lesson of a current hot topic and plugging your plug in 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤣

I love the title track that mf go crazy😂 I never thought it sounded bad just simple
i love you so much (no diddy) cuz you basicly taught me how to make beats thank you man
I love you too (yes diddy)
@@NavieD 💀
what did you think the "D" stood for?😄
Damn u made it mad ghey sayin no diddy
moment you post im watching - love your stuff!
Note grabber needs to record without needing to press record.

Been waiting for this vid since the album dropped let's go
I got it ready for you sir!

What shocked me most in this vodeo was finding out you pretty much made WaveCandy 3.0 😂😂 that's dope definitely have to get that
Fun fact: man at the garden actually uses the same or a very similar midi to Nas's "One Mic." If you go listen to that song, you'll probably hear it. May be different sounds but the midi itself it almost a one-to-one recreation of that song's midi
Just one technicality, the GNX pattern starts on the 4th beat so the beat without drums is the last one
As if the pattern was being played in reversed right?
5:34 are drum patterns from Nas song “one mic”
The lengths producers go to literally code an entire app which turns chords into midi notes, all to avoid learning music theory 😂
I feel you though I've been fucking around with music for 20 years and I'm really learning the rules of harmony this year. It's funny how far you can get with an attentive pair of ears though.
Sounwave’s production was top tier on this album.
Say bro I love your content. Keep up the good work.❤
Thank you my friend :)

I dunno if I would agree. Look at someone like JPEGMAFIA. He was pushing the envelope even before he became popular.
dunning kruger much?
@@NavieD all I'm saying is it rarely ever works out that way that people succeed breaking the norm
@@michaelbaz3867 fame bias much?
Agree. Imagine if ALC or CONDUCTOR were not famous and just upload their 8bar beats to youtube. No views and people will say boring beats.
That's the Nas "one mic" beat pretty much
Great vid!
I'd love to know what every producer can learn from GNX by Kendrick Lamar, I guess I'll have to wait for a BWB video on the topic

Album is just bland and boring; it oftentimes sounds like a parody of older rap.

MUSTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRD 🔥
Favorite condiment?
@ yessir
3:50 almost said DAMN BABY
Amazing video Navie!
The only other beat i recall where the kick didn't start off on the 1 was Hustle Hard by Ace Hood.
In The Air Tonight- Phil Collins is what it is ❤
Finally hey now getting some love
u a real one
MUSTARD 🗣
🌭
MUUUUSTAAAARRRDDD! 😤
I'm a relish fan myself
Makes me think of an old music quote...; Music is the space between the notes. Leaving space is something new music makers are afraid to do.
How did you get the recreations so accurate
I use stem splitters to pull all the actual sounds from the beat.
That really helps.
I learned that sh*t slaps like 2 rhino's fighting...... word to muva
That's quite a metaphor
@@NavieD yeah, that's how I do.........
Fire video
2:19 the first beat isnt empty, it's the last beat. you put the 1 in the wrong place. its pretty obvious when listening to the track
2:00*
Yep different start points
Yhh true
Hey now my fav. But whole album fye
I genuinely thought you would say the name of the song 9:20
Navie you should do a breakdown of Kenny segals production
Great job
so this what you guys do in the dungeon?
When I first heard the gnx beat, I thought the drums were done by a scratch dj. It sounds like some turntablist inspired stuff.
naaa un crack karim benzema
lol i see you with the cracked spotify
are you planning on making a separate video about Mustard and/or his work with YG?
Nah, not at the moment
how are u isolating those drum sounds?
how's your Spotify accent color is orange?
No idea, that was my editor's doing
You are 🐐
Wow man you really created that plugin by yourself?
He did
Well, I should clarify that I hired people help me make it. But it is 'my plugin'.
Are you using FL?
Vro, Pusha T It's Almost Dry got legendary production break it down on the next one.
Benzema
Is that you ????
My boi
anyone else hear the similarities between one mic by nas and Man at the garden? not complaining i just noticed it first time listening
I ain't no benzema a music producer now
when i first heard the beat on 'man at the garden' to me it sounds like an inspiration of drake's old beats he used to hopped on like that dark underwater r&b sound with the moody synths toms and minimal drums
it could be something off of his 2009 so far gone mixtape or take care
is it just me?
All these are new techniques if you’ve never heard West Coast/NorCal or Detroit/Flint rap
Debbie Deb ftw
Did the Gloria sample remind anyone else of Father Time off his last album? Or is it just me?
I heard this too!!!
Cool how you just took a melodyne feature and rebranded it as your own plugin
7:22 bro what? i had zero idea not like us was a 2 bar loop 😭i feel stupid. should've known something was up when i heard the tv off beat
The gnx piano doesn't start on the 1. The 1 is on the fourth note
Note grabber wow
I agree!
There's alot of hip hop songs that sampled 80s electro funk songs
W Navie
The GNX melody sounds like a beginner's
(speaking from experience)
Ppl confuse complex with better. Some of the best songs in history have the simplest melodies
Still sounds ass@@fade2blak91
@@fade2blak91that song sound like "myfirstbeat.flp"

bruh $49 come onnn
No good producer would make that first beat🫠
Well, the beat showed up on the biggest album in the world right now. Maybe you should rethink what producers should/shouldn't make
@NavieD No, I'm referring to the drums you made to prove the point you were making about how unique the drums were, no good produce would end up with the example you made.

@@mbthewarlord5702 i feel you . But the majority of ppl decide what is "good" and whats not.
Ngl that first beat is absolute booty juice
You guys don’t get it 💔💔💔💔
being this early feels arrousing
I am aroused as well
I love this album. The Squabble Up was actually foreshadowed in the Not Like Us video as a brief snippet.
I really don’t care for that GNX song beat on the album. If a no name made that same beat he m/she would get laughed at and labeled a amateur.
4:23 "😩"
10:47 does not
I heard that pac record is replayed
I don't know if it's just me but the album could have been way better
3:15 Naa bro those samples are in arcade
My guy doesn’t understand the concept of a pickup and thinks they built the beat for GNX on the 2 😂
yall never listened to bay are music? most of the album is the bay sound
The actual bay area sound is much better. Kendrick's production sounds bland and uninspired. These instrumentals aren't good.
Come on everyone… admit it… “maybe” some of this minimalist production on this DOPE Album, could have been influenced by LaRussell’s minimalist and acoustic production? Im just saying 😂
Ok, kendrick's producers are high as f**k we get it😂 u dont need a 12 minutes video to state that
