It is _the_ fan made music video. I was so excited when he said he was going to talk about a Kendrick song most have never even heard, but then he said Cartoons and Cereal and I was like "I just played that yesterday😂" Probably the reason this video popped up in my feed
Such a good fuckin' song; one of my favorites released in the last 15 years easy. I have to space it out so I do NOT overplay it like my own personal radio hell.
Wow, I've had that same snare problem in a sample. I was able to cut it out and place basically mini cuts in its place, but it never came out like i really wanted it to. So, with this technique for Cartoons, I'ma have to revisit it haha. Thanks, Navie, as usual!
@@NavieDstep splitting? perhaps you meant stem? If so, yeah, I haven't tried that yet.. lol I'm iffy on using any ai stuff.. I may at some point, though. cheers!
WILEEEE COYTE WILEEEEE COYOOOTEE, i remember when i first discovered this song and i agree with the statement in the beginning "people who've heard it all agree it was better than goodkid" i never knew it was that rare
Guarantee if you from Cali you know this .. was playing way back in high school born 95 this one of TDE best songs from that ERA along with Blessed and Say Wassup
@beners blessed is crazyyy good lotta people forget about it and what pisses me off is that there are some songs from that Q album on spotify but not blessed? Wtf!?
Yep. How I see it, many folk who were huge fans of Kendrick sort of grew apart from his music, and there's a bunch of new artists that spawned from Damn and Mr Morale
I've definitely heard this one many times and it has always had a special place in my heart. I also really enjoyed The Spiteful Chant which I think also ended up having sample clearance problems iirc. Anyway, thanks so much for doing a deep dive on the production for this! ❤
I heard Cartoons and Cereal many years ago and it was by far one of my favorite songs by him. In fact, I think I heard it when I was first learning about his music. I love how you break all the elements down to a science. Makes me appreciate the song and his music even more!
I didn't know about this song until today. It's still not my favourite Kendrick cut, but I can definitely appreciate the inventive production. It's a shame that the original artist wouldn't clear this song for him.
I always loved this song, cause I had it when downloading music was still a thing, but the last couple years when I started using spotify, I almost completely forgot this song. You just brought it back to me, and this is insane.
i was blessed for this to be my introduction to Kendrick Lamarr. My home boy sent me a email that read " this is what real hip hop sounds like" pretty bold choice of words i thought but when i turned it on everything from the mood set by the beat, to the glitchy sounded chores that perfectly blended a child voice with a young man coming into his own voice to the delivery of the most relatable lyrics i think i heard at the time. iv been a fan since
That sample at 4:48 is also used recently in Trae tha truth - Sware I'm . Love that sample it's exactly like you said very melancholic puts me in a whole vibe!
I remember when this song dropped. It was like an atomic bomb in my playlist lmao. On REPEAT. Such an incredible track. What a great breakdown too. Would've never imagined the sample was from that source.
I still remember when I first heard this song back in the day. I downloaded it on my PSP and listened to it over and over and over, still hits to this day!
Gotta mess around and really get involved with the process. This is a normal part of sampling and really getting into what you’re trying to do with a sample. Great video.
Bombay used this same sample for Blu - The Return a couple of years later. It's amazing how whole ideas, concepts and songs can come from such a short snippet.
As soon as you first said the words “cartoons and cereal” I liked the video. It’s my favourite Kendrick song and so many people don’t know about it I also agree that if this song properly got put out there, it would be on top for real
Having Cartoons and Cereal as the opening track would have just added and made it even better. It would be cohesive to the story too but there obviously would be a time jump from this to Sherane storyline. But it would have been one of the best intros to an already GOAT hip hop album!
Yo, that music video with bugs bunny and coyote on the thumbnail was the first time I listened to that song... eleven years ago. Still listening to this day. And I'm from Brazil.
I recognized that sample from the James Bond soundtrack, its at the beginning of the song “writing’s on the wall” by Sam Smith, it’s like the exact same sample!! Its a shame they didn’t clear that up for Kendrick 😢
never in my life would i have thought that i could be on the part of youtube where i discover karim benzema breaking down music production, but here i am, good video
this song definetly on you tube him and gun play i love diffrent thats what i strive too do out the box i no it word 4 word i think g play spit the best verse of his career
@@NavieD thats crazy im a dj not really a song spin i no how too get good copy dj jazzy mitch he has every song ever made lol this guy runs his entire house wifi on 3g phone
It’s on SoundCloud . I was the first person out of my whole friend group to find out about tde in 2010/2011. And when I showed people cartoons and cereal, they were fucking mind blown . That one and Rigamortus. It’s in high quality too on SC.
literally heard this back in the day in the trap. girl was over bumpin it and i was like who dat? she said Kendrick. I already heard of him from drakes take care album. i remembered cause he used that intro voice in that song too
This was the first song I heard of Kendrick's that made me go check out his projects. Sonically it's my 2nd or 3rd favorite Kendrick song - actual beat. I loved Mortal Men a little more, and Duckworth's beat changes were chef's kiss on first listen.
huh, once I realized this was about Cartoons and Cereal I figured this was just gonna be "sample didn't clear", which is the case lol, but it was really dope seeing the recreation of the beat and going in-depth on how the sample was used. cool video
I remember hearing this song on a fan made video about 10 years ago. Listened to it a bunch since then but I knew Kendrick was gonna be huge. Does anyone know anything about a Tupac Joint ft. Kendrick or Picture Me Rollin’ ft. Kendrick? Are they both fan made?
Man from the moment I heard the song at 13 I knew it’d never be big but it’s be that song with a cult following for it’s under appreciation. I knew I couldn’t be the only one who thought it was special I’m glad we all experienced it together 💪🏽💪🏽
The fan made music video is incredible
It is _the_ fan made music video. I was so excited when he said he was going to talk about a Kendrick song most have never even heard, but then he said Cartoons and Cereal and I was like "I just played that yesterday😂"

To me thats the official release
lol it’s dope. I like the looney tunes clips. Not sure if an official version could clear that. On the other hand it gave me a seizure😅
@@kEaNeKlEiBeR prolly still worth it tho lets be real XD
@@BuzzedNinja12 haha… i mean I’ll take it
There is a really low quality version of it on Spotify under the name “cartoon”
Yeah I saw that. It sounds like real crud.
tyler pfp, "kanyewestbiggestfan123", "kendrick lanar" lmao
Yeah but the quality low af😂still, I have it on my Playlist🤷🏽that's just how good the song is haha
Shhh - we need this to stay slept on so they dont try 2 monetize it
I was gonna comment I know I’ve heard it on Spotify before but I actually took it off my playlists bc the sound quality made it unbearable 😢
Still bump to this day. “Mama how much trauma can I sustain” feel gunplays pain in the verse
that line is so damn cold. sometimes i think i listen to the song just for the ending of plays verse
One of the greatest verses of all time
Such a good fuckin' song; one of my favorites released in the last 15 years easy. I have to space it out so I do NOT overplay it like my own personal radio hell.
I don't think gunplay could.ever top that verse he did on this song
dirty money come with lots of stains
damn benzema knows his shit
😂😂😂😂
Bro
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Comment be underrated 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 benzema
One of my favourite rap songs of all time genuinely. Didn't realise it was so rare
It sucks that it's not on Spotify or anything
@@NavieD I have it on my phone still because I have my music collection from the piracy days on my Samsung
Full agree, that’s one of my fav songs
TH-cam music comes in clutch
@@josephsua7246torrents still exist. Nothing is hard to find.

Well, nowadays you can just use step splitting to get rid of the drums completely!
@@NavieDstep splitting? perhaps you meant stem? If so, yeah, I haven't tried that yet.. lol I'm iffy on using any ai stuff.. I may at some point, though. cheers!

I think it's just one of those songs you had to be there. All the mixtape people know bout this song 🤣
FINALLY someone broke this down, one of my fave kendrick songs of all time! Great video 💯
Yeah I have always wanted to know wtf is going in kkkkki😊
I like Blessed and Birdz and the Be oh wrong artist 😂
There is literally nothing wrong with Cartoons and Cereal
Yeah, quality video RUINED by a clickbait title
Wow. Def heard this song 10+ years ago. The nostalgia is flowing lol.
Uughh; I need to work on my beats 😪
@@kinglewisviiigood for you?
MAX B - ALL MY DAYS
crazy 12 years and never noticed they used the same sample
Pitch Black - Its All Real prod. by DJ Premier also uses the same sample
Classic Song!
I agree!

agree with every word, was happy to see ' say wassup' in the mentions
@beners blessed is crazyyy good lotta people forget about it and what pisses me off is that there are some songs from that Q album on spotify but not blessed? Wtf!?
You must be new to Kendrick if you haven't this song. This song also introduced me to Gunplay before I saw him on MMG
Yep. How I see it, many folk who were huge fans of Kendrick sort of grew apart from his music, and there's a bunch of new artists that spawned from Damn and Mr Morale
@@manbatmiso yep i got introduced from mr morale, so i definitely wasn't familiar with his b sides and older songs
I found that masterpiece of a song on SoundCloud some years back. It should still be in my playlist somewhere
With the release of Blue Lips, I hope there will be a Schoolboy Q video. I always thought the beats he used were different.
Our Telugu Tyrant, Our Gujarati Guru, Our Punjabi prince, our Tamil Tiger drops another classic
Hahah I don't like any of those names
i thought you were talking about kendrick bruh😂
@@NavieDyou mean you don't like rando internet jock riders? Good for you.
@@wzpu3283 It doesn't have to be jock riding to just really like someone...
@@wzpu3283no. he meant he doesn’t like those names
Love this joint, gunplay absolutely bodies it! Thanks for what you do for the producer community bro 🫡
Yup gunplay killed that song
"Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes!"- probably the best verse of his career honestly.
@@Official360 yup best gunplay verse and it's an all time great hip hop verse to me
If it aint "I'm in the club", we not talking about anything.
Edit:
We are indeed, not, talking about anything.
😂😂😂I see you
I knew it before I clicked it. The song still gives me chills
Shout out to Gunplay for that killer feature: "Nobody can mute me, but I never said nobody can't shoot me" just straight raw realistic lyrics
Shout out to DJ Premier. Realize it’s all real! 🙌🏾
DJ Premier is in here?
He saying it’s the same sample as the pitch black song it’s all real which was produced by premier
@@loudnoidz223 🤫. No sample snitching. The message was coded. 👀
@@jjbing3I’d normally agree with you, but it’s already on WhoSampled so it doesn’t matter anyway.
“Yup Yup”
I still listen to this song. Def one of his best.
Love the Kendrick Lamar vids ❤
I've definitely heard this one many times and it has always had a special place in my heart. I also really enjoyed The Spiteful Chant which I think also ended up having sample clearance problems iirc. Anyway, thanks so much for doing a deep dive on the production for this! ❤

great video man. Have you ever thought about making a full video about RZA?
I hope we’re getting a Bluelips production breakdown video next week👀
damn that flip is great
Such a cool beat for sure
I love your super nerdy and detailed breakdowns! it makes me appreciate other peoples music and even my own music, creativity and process 🙏🏻
This guy jacked what do you mean
Great flip, classic song
Crazy to think some have never heard this as a Kendrick fan 💀
YO major props to “THC” they definitely had some of the GREATEST beats of the 2010’s
I still remember where I was when I first heard it🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I’m definitely gonna try the method of removing awkward drums from samples 💯 thanks Navie!
You should do a video on never catch me
hats off brother
Really well put together video. Thanks for uploading!
Fire 🔥
Thank you my friend
You should break down westside right on time
Yes!!!! I wanted that song on gkmc so bad it would’ve been a great intro or even a bonus track on the album
@@4DaFam yup
Thank you for that
too bad they didn't have that new serato sample update where you can remove the drums
facts
Classic song!!
Gunplay verse still gives me chills 🔥🔥🔥
I didn't know about this song until today. It's still not my favourite Kendrick cut, but I can definitely appreciate the inventive production. It's a shame that the original artist wouldn't clear this song for him.
Will there be a video about Schoolboy Q‘s Blue Lips?
First time i heard that song was last year. the snare technique reminds me of tuscan leather
I always loved this song, cause I had it when downloading music was still a thing, but the last couple years when I started using spotify, I almost completely forgot this song. You just brought it back to me, and this is insane.
I never knew this wasn't on the album. I've been playing/streaming this song from the jump...
I mean it’s completely out of place on the album, it doesn’t make sense at the end after Compton. It’s a great song though
I still have this song on my phone, gunplay verse is goated
This track is very similar to collect calls, a very unknown bonus track off gkmc. I found that song really deep and dark
i was blessed for this to be my introduction to Kendrick Lamarr. My home boy sent me a email that read " this is what real hip hop sounds like" pretty bold choice of words i thought but when i turned it on everything from the mood set by the beat, to the glitchy sounded chores that perfectly blended a child voice with a young man coming into his own voice to the delivery of the most relatable lyrics i think i heard at the time. iv been a fan since
i associate cartoons and cereal with the days of playing uncharted 3 multiplayer while listening to iheartradio. that song came on often.
That sample at 4:48 is also used recently in Trae tha truth - Sware I'm . Love that sample it's exactly like you said very melancholic puts me in a whole vibe!
I’ve rewatched this video many times. You introduced me to a great song and methodically broke down this masterpiece. Thank you, Navie
You put in a lotta work for these videos dissecting these samples. Like a Sample Dr. sample M.D.
Hey can you make a video on how to create dark deep sub basses? Maybe talk about how Mike Dean does it?
This the song that got me hip to him frfr. It was on TH-cam with a trippy visual
Cap

I’ve absolutely heard this song around 2012
Hi Navie can you post sometimes tutorial videos again?
NAH I HEARD THIS SHIT IN 2013 IT BECAME MY FAVORITE SONG ON GOD I REMEMBER DOWNLOADING IT ON DATPIFF ON THE MIXTAPE
what's crazy is, as technical as Kendricks verse is, Gunplays verse matches it equally.
This was the song that turned me into a Kendrick fan.
It is on Spotify. It’s on an album called Mo Thugs Records Presents: West Coast Bangers, Vol. 2
yeah but that’s not official
Preemo used the same sample on Pitch Black's 'It's All Real.' Had no idea it was the same until this video
Having Cartoons and Cereal as the opening track would have just added and made it even better. It would be cohesive to the story too but there obviously would be a time jump from this to Sherane storyline. But it would have been one of the best intros to an already GOAT hip hop album!
til this day i'm still waiting for part 2
fuck the artist that didn't clear the sample. This song would've made GKMC even more legendary.
Heard it. Love it. Found it on a compilation album a while back but not great quality
kendrick is my favorite rapper
Yo, that music video with bugs bunny and coyote on the thumbnail was the first time I listened to that song... eleven years ago. Still listening to this day.
And I'm from Brazil.

Hmm, not sure. I am on the fence
Rapper shit is up there too…iykyk!
Need one for Westside Right On Time now
Cool backstory on this song!! Seriously one of my fav Kendrick songs and just fav songs in general! Love gunplay as well
Does anyone know where this would have been positioned on the GKMC tracklist?
I've not even watched the whole video yet but this track was my JAM back in school. Thanks for taking me back!
Is it just me or is the string sample on 4:50 exactly the Intro of the Spectre Theme-Song?
I downloaded this song on Datpiff back when I was in high school, it was and still is one of my favourite songs by Kendrick Lamar
I remember hearing this song on a fan made video about 10 years ago. Listened to it a bunch since then but I knew Kendrick was gonna be huge. Does anyone know anything about a Tupac Joint ft. Kendrick or Picture Me Rollin’ ft. Kendrick? Are they both fan made?
Kendrick Lamar has a fictional interview with Tupac on Immortal Man from To Pimp A Butterfly, but I'm pretty sure anything besides that is fan-made.
Always bumped to this and sadly poor recognition this song have he needs to remaster it
Man from the moment I heard the song at 13 I knew it’d never be big but it’s be that song with a cult following for it’s under appreciation. I knew I couldn’t be the only one who thought it was special I’m glad we all experienced it together 💪🏽💪🏽
