I was always a big fan of Primo, but my god did this series bring him to legend status for me. I never knew how much work he did on a beat to get what he did. Awesome series!
Premo makes modern-day hieroglyphics. In 70 years people will look back and wonder how in 1999 these sounds were perceived this way. Remember Chosen told ya. :)
@@Andy-km1xp That's pretty cool. Another sampling that I love is found in Mobb Deep's Shook Ones Pt. II. There's a video of it here on TH-cam by Hulu Dodd. Highly recommend that you check it out.
This is great man! The bird chirp as the bell, I never knew that! Dope! One correction here... The kick drum pattern is supposed to be different in the song proper vs the intro. You used the same pattern for the intro and the song. All good tho! Very informative.
True. Doesn't make it less wack but very true. He made that statement before the internet days, when DJs were giving away the samples. I know of a few well known Indie artists who got cease and desists for albums because of people sample snitching in the TH-cam comments though. I don't think people do it maliciously, but sometimes there are repercussions to posting the samples in a public forum
I went to the Prhyme concert he had with royce da 5'9. He had this part of the show where he pretty much started his beats from scratch and it ended up as the classic beats we all know and love. Similar to what happens in this video, except around a thousand people were reciting the lyrics together.
Sinc1TV Yea man it was like witnessing the purest form of hiphop greatness, everyone was bumping heads haaard. As soon as we heard Nas is Like, and Shook ones, everyone in the venue was jumping.
I'm a huge NWA fan and i see you don't have any of their songs down but if you could break down one of their songs that would be great. Gangsta Gangsta is my personal fav/ request, Thanks.
gangsta gangsta is a loop of "weak at the knees" by Steve Arrington, a scratch sample of "Eazy Duz It" and "Ruthless Villain" by Eazy E , a drum sample of " Ashley's Roachclip" by the soul searchers and "NT " bt Kool and The Gang with an 808 pattern patched in through an sp1200 . The break is made up of samples from "Johnny wuz a gangsta" by original concept, "My philosophy" by Boogie Down Productions, and " Sonnet to my idol" by Lady Reed. It also contains samples of "LA Di Da Di " by Doug E. Fresh, "A Bitch iz a Bitch" by NWA , " God Made Me Funky" by the Headhunters, "Take The Money and Run" by The Steve Miller Band, "Impeach The President " by The Honeydrippers, " Troglodyte " by Jimmy Castor, "Funky Worm" by The Ohio Players, and "Ain't no Half Steppin" by Big Daddy Kane .
Dude the vocoder "nas" that plays when the first hook starts is so dope... Maybe the freshest vocoder used in hip hop and it's only a fraction of a second long... They should've used it more.
Really nice and enjoyable videos...Can you make some of the Alchemist instrumentals, like 'Hold you down' (stand/there whatever) or even 'Back again' which is really nice chopped banger
I knew Premier was great but I didn't understand how crazy good he was till you broke down the bird part of the sample. How do you come up with that!!!
love ur breakdowns , i use Maschine too can wait for the next. seeing your on the preemo or just blaze tour. can you breakdown Wat we do from Freeway or D'evils
Yeah I sure will! Got a real good start on it so I'll be finishing up and putting in the lineup. Couldn't tell you when exactly but it's coming for sure.
Pineall Very true! Even though I liked him, from a production standpoint I always wrote him off in the beginning as a one trick pony, especially since he sampled the same track like 5 times lol. BUT over the years and especially after starting on recreating I'm God I'm starting to understand it better.
Well yeah all the tracks he did for Rocky and Mac Miller.. all pretty much the same but with his third mixtape he sort of proved that he could branch out and make all sorts of stuff.
when i buy the project files, is there the finished beat included? if not, could you upload the finished beat somewhere to download? would do me a huge favour, because i want to scratch like premo over his beats, and to find a beat without the scratches is very hard. would help me improving in scratching alot.
The bird chirp tho... Somethin so small that adds so much to the track
Ryan Scott , totally man
narasimha hm yepp
Fo real!
ikr!! i was studying this song because i am planning on using that one specific sound
That silent beat he added to the loop just mad genius 😱😱😱
that biz markie sample blew my mind.
Right? Premier is a genius.
...and on the "It Ain't Hard To Tell" (Large Professor Remix)
Slayd5000 yea i knew i'd heard it before, i just didnt know it was done like that.
I'm here to say my mind is BLOWN!!
Damn!
Dammit, Premo. So mind blowing
I was always a big fan of Primo, but my god did this series bring him to legend status for me. I never knew how much work he did on a beat to get what he did. Awesome series!
FM Towns Party one of, if not the best sampler of all tine
Brian M not just sampler
Shows how much of a genius DJ Premier is.
this guy is a genius
Coltrane preemo is...
*NO NIGGA PREMIRE IS A GENIUS ! NOT THIS GUY...*
IYSISNASIR well my gosh
Premier I hope you're referring to
@@iysisrosestfu. No THE TH-camr is a genius. And you aint
Who else was like "NAS IS NAS NAS IS NAS IS NAS IS LIKE!" at 2:44
Me lmfao
I didnt realise I did till I read your comment haha!
I was lol
ME I WAS LIKE NAS IS LIKE LIFE OR DEATH MY POETRIES DEEP I NEVER FAIL
Me lol
Thanks for showing the practicalities of Premo's insanely genius brain.
Sam Sherriff Have you broke down Reks' Say Goodnight by Premo?
The bird sample blew my mind, I thought it was a bell, but it’s actually the bird making that sound too
The bird chip sound always reminded me of the og crash bandicoot
the bird chrip blewing my damn mind.
DJ Premier,Premo or anyhing.This man is GOAT.
DJ Premo, bird call expert
Premier is such a f*cking genius
So is this guy
As someone who comes from the sampling era of hip hop and music in general, these videos are fantastic, and incredibly interesting.
such a beautiful beat
Premo makes modern-day hieroglyphics. In 70 years people will look back and wonder how in 1999 these sounds were perceived this way. Remember Chosen told ya. :)
I NEVER would have thought that was Biz saying Nas. Pure genius!
One of my top 10 hip hop tracks. Great to see the beat analysis. There's so much that goes into making greatness!
Heard it the first time this week and I feel the same!
@@Andy-km1xp Welcome to the club! I assure you, you'll come across many such tracks.
@@ultraviolet.catastrophe I actually produce Boom bap now so it’s encouraged me to listen to more! But I’ve always been amazed by good sampling
@@Andy-km1xp That's pretty cool. Another sampling that I love is found in Mobb Deep's Shook Ones Pt. II. There's a video of it here on TH-cam by Hulu Dodd. Highly recommend that you check it out.
@@ultraviolet.catastrophe Oh yeah Herbie Hancock, right? That one is so crazy
this channel is gold mine, no idea why i am just finding it now
This is great man! The bird chirp as the bell, I never knew that! Dope! One correction here... The kick drum pattern is supposed to be different in the song proper vs the intro. You used the same pattern for the intro and the song. All good tho! Very informative.
Big L - Put it on plz
This is coolest video i have ever seen
never..THIS is the best one so far
This is why Preem is the GOAT.
Incredible. Premo is the man.
The only TH-cam videos I HAVE to watch when they come out are these, fantastic as always
more classic east coast like this!
I've heard this song hundreds of times, and never ever realized those were birds before. It's super obvious now, but I just never heard it.
Premier is the G.O.A.T........PERIOD
Wow how did he catch that bird chirp?
D King him and timbo are legendary for making sound effects fit into beats amazingly
These make you appreciate the song so much more
Holy shit, I was going to ask you to do this one literally today, YES! Awesome!
~~i am a multidimensional clairvoyant being who read the future to do this for you~~
lol good timing on my part then! Thanks for watching!
Sandurz Thank _you_ mighty creature, awesome video!
You are a legend
Premo hated sample snitching
+Sinc1TV Hated? Past tense? He doesn't anymore?
True. Doesn't make it less wack but very true. He made that statement before the internet days, when DJs were giving away the samples. I know of a few well known Indie artists who got cease and desists for albums because of people sample snitching in the TH-cam comments though.

+Moe William That's dope.
Sinc1TV Yea man it was like witnessing the purest form of hiphop greatness, everyone was bumping heads haaard. As soon as we heard Nas is Like, and Shook ones, everyone in the venue was jumping.
Why am I just finding this TH-cam channel out?! This is awesome. Respect and Salute for putting in the time to break this down.
Sandurz come back. Need these back in my life
This is honestly one of the coolest videos I've ever seen bro!
Thank you so much
Excellent man, my only gripe is that the drums don't swing like the original.
My favourite beat of all time
One of my favorite beats, thanks for this! Have been enjoying seeing these every time
I'm a huge NWA fan and i see you don't have any of their songs down but if you could break down one of their songs that would be great. Gangsta Gangsta is my personal fav/ request, Thanks.

ahh the workflow on the mashine looks awesome
Gang starr - full clip maybe ?
Ain’t no way someone would’ve caught that damn “why” bird chirping sample , premo just kept it real and was honest
I loved this segment … I subscribed.
Thanks
Im loving your work man, especially when you breakdown Premo beats like this. You should def breakdown Gangstarr's 'Mass Appeal' at some point
you explained how real hip hop is done, respec!! mind blowing
Dude the vocoder "nas" that plays when the first hook starts is so dope... Maybe the freshest vocoder used in hip hop and it's only a fraction of a second long... They should've used it more.
Do Pitch Black - It's all real
Prod - DJ Premier.
Premiers got a really creative open mind
Modern day study of the digital hieroglyphics of the masters of the culture.
The bassline is from the John V. Rydgren with a low pass filter
recreating the vocal scratch samples in maschine was very impressive
Now I realise why dj premier is one of best dj ever waaaaoooooooohh
I love these! Make more
sry this was the last one goodbye forever i will now diminish into the east
1:56 biggest grin on my face man.
Mind blown 🤯.
Just found this channel. Dope!!
Love this channel. just found the channel two days ago. im hooked and been spreading the woed. keep up the good work.
Really nice and enjoyable videos...Can you make some of the Alchemist instrumentals, like 'Hold you down' (stand/there whatever) or even 'Back again' which is really nice chopped banger
*NaS = G.O.A.T !!!*
Had no idea that beginning was a sample of birds lol. Primo is a fucking masterclass
Excellent work as always! Keep rockin Sandurz
the drums are from Come Dancing by Jeff Beck
Great work!
Damn Dj Premier is fucking creative

Do a beat by El-P
Great video man
They Reminisce Over You next!
I knew Premier was great but I didn't understand how crazy good he was till you broke down the bird part of the sample. How do you come up with that!!!
premo is GOAT

Slow Jamz is definitely in the queue! One of the next ones. Got that one figured out pretty dang well. Preciate it!
Yo bro love your vids! Could you do Upper Echelon for the next video?
Do "Why" by Jadakiss!
DJ Premier is the reincarnation of Beethoven !!
Are you going to be making a Beat Breakdown for I'm God?
Yeah I sure will! Got a real good start on it so I'll be finishing up and putting in the lineup. Couldn't tell you when exactly but it's coming for sure.
Cool man, look forward to it, enjoyed watching the stream for it, you should try more Clams in the future dude, he's a seriously dynamic producer.
Pineall Very true! Even though I liked him, from a production standpoint I always wrote him off in the beginning as a one trick pony, especially since he sampled the same track like 5 times lol. BUT over the years and especially after starting on recreating I'm God I'm starting to understand it better.
Well yeah all the tracks he did for Rocky and Mac Miller.. all pretty much the same but with his third mixtape he sort of proved that he could branch out and make all sorts of stuff.
i actually said something outloud when he showed that beginning part he got from them birds what the hell bro
