Beat sounded way more complicated than it actually was. Still one of my favorites in the past few years
Seems like he left out some parts
maxreaper25 Sounds like it. Maybe like 1 or 2 more elements he didn't mention
Good sound selection kills
maxreaper25 he did, it’s secret sauce, if you know then you know🤫
@@TheFreekill17 was about to say the same lol. sound selection is everything. And synths with arpeggios do half the job for you
One of the best beats I’ve ever heard in my life
Agreed
Astrothunder is up there
U havent heard many beats I guess
Truuuuue !
@@jorgendalaplanson7468 stfu this shit is simple but straight fire
Straight facts when he said you could be in the projects but once the headphones come in it’s an out of body experience

Those bricks seem to disappear and life is perfect for a least 3 or 4 minutes.
Real
💯💯
Once it all together it just hit different
Future: "send me no trapbeats"
Tarentino: * sends trapbeat *
Future: thats hard
Future: dope!
@Huub lmao I thought it was just me! You’re right isn’t this a trap beat? Maybe I’m missing something!lol
@@eargazm2102 It is. A really good one, but still :)
I think he meant like something different the 808’s is what makes it sound like a trap beat but just think how it would be without the 808’s I’d still like it but you gotta have something for a hood nigga ain’t no real hood nigga (not one I know at least) would listen to March Madness without the bass in the back
i think he meant like a traditional trap beat, rememeber 2015 was a long time ago
I really feel like March Madness will become one of those classics that will never get old. Listening to it really does give an experience
Brings me back to senior year; shit got me hella hyped for football and rugby games/practice haha
Every time they play it in the club it still get everybody going crazy. I put it on my snapchat about a month ago how everybody was going in the club. Salute to Tarantino especially since he from my city
wym "will become" it's already
It's timeless. It's futures "faneto"
It would never
“I was 16 years old at the time” .... *mind instantly blown*
That song brings back so many happy memories 😭🙅🏾♂️🧢 R.I.P Summer of 2015
Facts😪
Yeees and this is my song too!!😣
Summer '15 Legendary
No Name Just Game summer of 15 and 16 were legendary the music was hella good in those times
Boi that was the summer I graduated.. rip to the best few months of my life lol
Wait, he made that masterpiece at 16 yrs old??? 🐐🐐🐐
Yeah. It ain't much.
dwadefan4lyfe2 it’s literally just arps anyone could’ve made this
SwiFt NegroZ Then why didn’t you make it
SwiFt NegroZ you didnt tho... lmao you didn’t make March madness, quit hatin bum
it's a very simple beat but sooo hard
*makes a video about "March Madness" during March Madness*
I see you genius
paris Soares some would call it genius
Vish Sriram no you didn’t
paris Soares the video been done, they just waited
Watching This In March 2020
Watching this in march
Give this man a medal, one of the greatest beats of the 21st Century
This beat changed the way i looked at trap beats
Is it "trap" because of the artist it went to ? Nothing about this beat screams trap .. what if adele or Kirk Franklin would've jumped on it ?
He said its not a trap beat tho
Yo bro if u get a chance check my beats out
Xo Fob FL doesn’t make it trap but u right on the other points
@@Nazim909 lmao bro said the fact that its made on FL. alRIGHT
That summer was legendary because of this beat alone, every party/club was rockin.🤧
Talkin about stupid bruh!!!
EVERY!!!
Especially in houston bro
We need Codeine crazy deconstructed next
please make this happen
ビートk y o t o my favorite trap song ever
@@filiperomano5928 yeah that beat crazy
no cap
facts thats the one i been waiting on
March Madness is STILL a bop! Its 2019. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
*2020. still a bop.
2021 still a bop
2022 still fire 🔥
2023 here we come…
*2024 still a bop
The *GOAT* Future track. This is the year Future became one of the Trap LORDs, the Dirty Sprite Messiah...the Male Beyoncé? Thank you Genius for this one, 56 nights was a whole different album for sure 💯
Wtf
Bro I’ve literally seen u comment on so many ducking videos over the years lmfaoo
definitely the hardest one 💯
Future's peak
56 nights is super fire!!! The line about fucking a girl in the mouth is a little sketchy tho lol
march madness is a TIMELESS song
Exactly
Indeed
This beat is the definition of a happy accident, when you place one note with an arp you never know what you’re gonna get. He made this, and no one can ever use those sounds in purity again, those sequences/arps will always be the March madness melody.
FORNUTO damn thats crazy the way you said that. Its like he owns the arp. Purity needs to cut him a check forever
March Madness is going down in the history books as one of the best songs of our time.
Best Future track hands down! Beat is crazy...
Facts
lol not even close
Yo bro check my beats out if u get a chance
March madness = codeine crazy
@@carlogambino9233 shut up
He seems like a really humble guy. Glad it worked out for him with the decisions he took in life. Great beat
Producers deserve more recognition without them rappers wouldn’t be as big as they are now. More respect if you can do both well. That’s real talent 👍🏿💯
It goes both ways bro
Do they? All of these beats are cut from the same cloth and that cloth was made by someone else. They just slow it down.
Isaac Annan Jr no talent they just steal shit and put it in a mix . No real producing .
@@DemonicEmbrace not always I'm talking about the producers that spend hours and days coming up with a brand new beat from scratch with no sample or dub. They deserve more credit.
@@isaacannanjr2371 right
Soooo this guy made the whole beat off of Arps and Sequenced sounds...DAMN!! 👍🏾
Mikewillmadeit does the same thing, it works, it makes hits lol
You’re right!! I noticed that about Mike Will too.
@@chris8651 yep Dune 2. Two presents right next to each other for black beatles
Bro literally took some arps and called it a day (no disrespect tho Tarantino a legend)
Edge Lord dead ass
Edge Lord sometimes we young producer tend to do too much to impress people, most of our beats are sounding good but overworked, without the talent required to polish all that it just sound terrible even when the main idea was great. This days I try to control myself, the biggest hits of the last years was simple beats ( mask off, Bank account, new freezer, too much sauce, Humble, Xo tour life etc.....) so that’s the key in my opinion
Antoine N you aint lying b
Edge Lord I swear when I first heard this song I thought the producer had to be a got damn melody genius 😂 then I watch this video and dude has straight 1, 2, and 4 note arps. Just goes to show how important sound selection is.
Jim Joe sound design is the major key to your sound signature
One of the hardest of all time. I remember this in the locker room before game day and we all were going crazy to this. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard this be the highlight song of a party and everybody is elevated. Absolutely insane
Gross beat been helping a lot of music we been listening too.
BLKK ROBB what exactly is gross beat
Venom A time shifting plugin
@@Greatwealthgentleman its most known for its halftime feature. It cuts the sample into 4 parts, takes the 1st and the 3rd part, slows it down and drops the pitch. this guy actually didnt use this he used a version of it called triplet something
Lots of people say its gross beat but its that blue plug in
Cole Smith slow tripplet 🤫💯
I been waiting for this....top 5 best beats of this decade
Easily
i got chill bumps i’m so happy this dropped. i never would’ve expected a march madness deconstruction
One of my favorite beats ever, and it's so simple
In my personal opinion, this is the greatest rap beat of all time. If you think im lying, listen to the instrumental and ask yourself what other beat you could sit through like this one.
Good job mane, you made one of the most legendary beats ever.
This man prolly 18-20 but he look grown as hell lmao
The feeling (out of body) is what you delivered! The chills EVERY TIME ALL OVER for me! Someone who connects with music differently- Omg - it’s everything! I can’t even explain what I feel when I hear this song‼️ Definitely still relevant in 2022‼️
March Madness legit got me on the type of beats I make today! #inspiration
Bro your beats are amazing
@@tb3616 I appreciate that!
Lmao KrissiO, I remember some local SoundCloud rapper used a few of your beats a while back, we used to clown that guy regularly, but good on you keep up the hustle!
I'm from the UK, and I hear your beats here as well
@@user-mr4dy2gc6h 😂😂😂
I am so glad that G@d blessed you with creating music! Dropping out of school has devastating results!
Thank you so much, Genius! It's a pleasure when you see one of your all-time favourite tracks deconstructed like this!
I still bump “march madness” and “news or sum’n “ like they were made yesterday 🔥🤟🏽 always love those songs
Keep em coming genius. This was dope af
Little did bruh know he made one of the most iconic beats of this decade and alley ooped it to future for one of the most iconic songs of the decade
They uploaded in March too lmao
Yeah it was most likely on purpose
No shit
This changed how I viewed music, very influential beat and sound
Black Mamba how
i knew i recognized that arp from somewhere, i swear I've scrolled passed it in purity a million times.
I SWEAR it always sounded so familiar 😂😂
I’m mad I disregarded those sounds
Tm88 done exploited tf out of purity around that time lol. They was all lit lol
@@moneyhouseblessin you shouldn't be.. thats the game... sometimes someone else can hear what you cant! You just gotta keep composing
What Arp is it in Purity?
March Madness puts me in this extraterrestrial/outer space vibe.
Tarentino is so underrated honestly. I feel like out of the group him and TM bring the most vibes and variety with their sound selection, drums etc.
This is crazy...🔥
I use these same loops in a throw beat about a year before March Madness dropped🤦🏾♂️
DJ Spre das craaazyy bro, i mean like its a default arp, i million others probably did too lmao, they was probably freakin out hearin it LMAO
@@ketk1😭
this man gave a beat for the ages. for the culture.
the melody trips me out we was listening to this on the bus in middle school. Too iconic and that second skywalker bell is my favorite part of the melody
We need one for codeine crazy
Facts
no cap we need that asap
10000%
Fosho
I don’t think it will happen tho because it’s not on Apple Music or Spotify and like major music apps
Oh my god I’m so glad you guys did this one
4:04 he muted the gross beat😭😭😭
Why
It only has it on some parts
I said da same shit lol datelodybeas fast as hell witout da gross beat 😂
@@patrick3671 da main instrument has it all da way thru wat r u talkin bout
its an automation. it came in the intro and the verse
Bro this beat got me out of a dark place..the right beat and the right artist is the best song on earth..Appreciate you brah
this beat is one of the best ever. you dont need to overdo it to make something amazing.
This song is a classic. One of my favorite future songs. & like he said, once u put them headphones on them “ambient” sounds hit u. I get taken away👽🤖
Do frank ocean's nights deconstructed
angelo quinto facts
YESS
YAAAAS
yeah because frank gonna come out and do a genius
@@devindb757 The producer of the beat for Nights might, who knows
Been trying so hard to re make this beat, i never expected the Melodies to be this simple. Props to producers, they deserve more credit
You should do 21 Savage's "Can't Leave Without It."
Tiana Holmes facts
I love how humble this guy is
The Purity Preset is In Phrase Folder, Then Sky Walker 1 for the main melody
god bless u
One of the best beats in hip hop history!!! And this coming from a ole head who was there when hip hop started!!
4:00 “cherry on top of the cake”
One of the hardest trap beats to ever exist
I still love March Madness to this day. Definitely Future's best song to me.
2:12 is used in Patek too
Do Jump Out The Face by Meek Mill ft. Future produced by Metro Boomin and Southside next
Preetpal Kular thst beat is awesome
If they get Metro or Southside it won’t be for that song lmao
man i love that song
Mannnnn that song is so fire
Plz make this happen
1:55 - 2:08 Is the official purity sound from March Madness. Tarentino intentionally differentiated the rest of this deconstruction compared to the original sounds so that no one can create an official instrumental, something I’ve reached out to him for personally and have been dreaming of for years since there is no official instrumental in existence. I turned to this video hoping this would be enough to recreate it, and we lost our chance. SMH
I swear that's my favorite part of the beat. From the moment I heard it. And the part with the hi-hats 🔥🔥
Notice how he didn't half speed on gross beat? Slow triplet👌
Better than half tbh
I noticed a lot of producers using slow triplets.
GAME CHANGER
@@pkfy this song is from 2015
slow triplet is king
THATS CRAZY! the “sky walkers” pad he used is the same one in uzi and futures “PATEK”! kinda cool ngl 😅
Top 5 trap beat ever no discussion. This shit still crazy
Literally one of the best beats even now, released 4 years ago and still sounds fucking fire.
in the top 10 beats of all time for sure.
You a young legend for this beat homie! Still jamming on a regular in 2021
He said Future hit him up for beats, but I’m 100% sure producers here are wondering how he got connected to Future in the first place.
Because he 808 Mafia ( probs from being friends with south side )and in atlanta
You Must Be Dumb Af
90% Of Producers Know Tarentino ..... He's Also In 808 Mafia
Cuz he with 808 mafia. And southside produced the whole 56 nights mixtape except this song. Prolly told future about him
Eigh.....eigh.....eigh....eigh.....EIGHT O EIGHT MAFIAAAA!!!!
This will be forever my favorite future song. Joint is angelic! I am grateful for tarentino for making this beat. So heavenly 👼🏾
Shoutout to Purity !! I started make my first beats with that plugin too way back 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you. One of the best beats of our trap era
Do Location by Playboi Carti deconstructed
the melody is a guitar sample, drums hit, but i doubt they'll show behind the beat for it
@@franklinbenson4340 cuz the video would be 30 seconds long
Franklin Benson it's not a guitar sample lmfao, it's the Atari intro goofy
Lmao they ain’t ready for that 😂 niggas wanna talk about going to outer space that’s the production you look to
Yah mean*
Shout out to the Genius Videography Team. This was a dope video, effects and all.
