Using percussion as a song starter is a Phil Collins classic trick !
He used to start with a CR78 drum machin as percussion to create a groove. To did it, he programed loops as a rythmic pattern. Then, based on his drum machin pattern, he composed, an acoustic drums groove to create an all rythm section, and added the melody and harmonic part at last.
he not afraid to let his s3xuality shine
When thinking of Pharrell, I’ve always considered him a minimalist. He seems to only use longer sustains on the bridge, or breaks. One perfect example, is “Drop It Like It’s Hot”. When I hear younger track makers throw every sound they in their DAW into one track, I refer them to that Pharrell/Snoop track
That bridge was Chad's idea
I really like how you actually explain the musical ideas, not just making "Pharrell type beat". It's actually extremely important to show young beatmakers how you can use the same techniques for completely different results
Pharrel often makes the drums and Chad does the melodics
Yeah I was kinda torn whether to call it a Pharrell video or a Neptunes video

Damn Pharrell got the easiest part
@@NavieDcan you do a video on RZA please? He’s my favorite producer 🥶
Naw man, I saw Chad tell in an interview that usually Pharell has a more or less finished beat when he enters the studio and his job is to make it sound phat
Lil Jon's style in the 2000's created big hits and influenced the sound we have today, would be nice to have a breakdown of his style
Underrated comment !
Lil Jon constantly overlooked. He imported Miami sound to ATL and gave them momentum for musical growth
@@Tarteviant facts
💯 Please! 🙏🏾
Lil Jon the beast.
Your analyses are all kinds of on point. Here are four producers with respective suggestions for deep dives I'd love to hear your perspective on:
DJ Premier - You Know My Steez
Pete Rock - The Boss
Large Professor - Half Time
Easy Mo Bee - Machine Gun Funk
Peace
this is so valuable to me as I am great at making loops, but have trouble making that into a song. Thanks for this as always, Navie! Keep loving yourself. peace from Japan.
How can I check out your loops

Please credit Chad. When they produced as The Neptunes, he's a key part. Mr Me Too is a Neptunes beat not entirely produced by Pharrel as is Busta's What it is.
Pharrel done almost all the work
@@scorchinsun6586No he didn't.
@@boigenius1542(almost) bro
@@scorchinsun6586 dont trip bro
I ain’t ever pressed a notification so fast
Notification gang rise up
Lol same here
Same bro 😂😂😂 Clicked this with the quickness
Hahahahahaha😂 RIGHT!!???

Thank you so much man, this is very insightful. I've been into making 2000's-ish hip hop lately. Typically in the style of the Neptunes. I was getting sick of starting of with a framework that limits room for creativity (for example: starting of with chords, a melody, overused trap hihat, overused trap snare, a bouncy snare and a spinz 808).
The things I've learned from listening to alot of beats produced by the Neptunes for the last 2 days:
1. Use textured drums.
2. Don't be afraid to use percussions in an unconventional way.
3. Chords don't have to be extended throughout the whole song.
4. Same goes for the melody.
5. Sometimes you don't even need chords, but just weird textured sounds on the background to fill up the frequency spectrum.
6. Same goes for the melody.
7. Don't spend alot of time trying to make your instrument sound natural.
8. STOP USING REEVERB ON EVERYTHING. It's what I do inuitively, but alot of melody instruments the Neptunes' use are dry as hell.
9. IT'S OKAY TO LEAVE SPACES.
10. Have fun with it. Experiment, try new things. Enjoy the fact that you don't have to stick to a protocol that leaves little room for innovation, so that your beats don't end up sounding as if they were mass produced in a Metro Boomin' factory.
i don't comment a lot, but wanted to give you kudos. the thing i luv about these vids is that you give techniques used by greats while emphasizing that these are concepts that can be used to create your OWN sound. you do a great job of showing how they get a result technically without saying "DO THIS TO SOUND LIKE ____". It's hard for some to separate techniques from someone's art, and you kill it every time. keep up the great work!
That first beat that you made, is fu**ing fire🔥😍
what's the best way to start the morning, I hear you say?
wisdom from both Navie and Pharrell, obviously
How kind, thank you Rafael!
Havoc, Easy Mo Bee, Hitboy, Just Blaze, Erick Sermon...I could go on forever. Videos have been 🔥🔥🔥 Whichever producers you pick I'm watching
Get the Korg Triton Extreme and Korg MicroKorg Plug-ins, they have 99% of the sounds Pharrell (The Neptunes) used up until around 2010 or so. These are the actual keyboards they used at that time. Even the drums are the same in the Triton.
The Korg 01/W was the foundation of that sound, almost as much as the Triton. Their drums were tweaked samples from breakbeat records
Man thank you so much for this!
Navie you are primed for greatness. Honestly I ain't even an flstudio fan - your content is much more than that. good to see you are promoting it that way more
Thank you for providing us with quality content as always bro ❤❤
Thank you for showing up all the time!

Thanks. I find myself adding to much of something, and try to do things tastefully. This also can make your perception of loudness be louder.
This video was definitely needed. Appreciate the input.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🕺🏾
Love the shortness and straight to the point vids 🙌🏻💯 really helpful.
this is actually very helpful information, thanks man imma sauce up something now
Nice video man, very interesting, i can't wait to watch in the next video of this category Dr. Doom😍
Navie just keeps coming up with the best videos ideas 💯💯
you should do RZA next
J'adore cette série de vidéo. Ça change des tutoriels habituels !
You're the best music production channel I've ever seen on TH-cam. Clean, meaningful, consistent. Great work!
Great intelligent research brother. Loving your content 🫶🏻
great vid as always
If you want a crazy challenge try to remake the Milkshake beat exactly
Very introspective and informative my friend! This is a sort of hip hop history course for the real students of music
thank you for thisss & also, couldn't help but notice the art graphic (not the keys lol) on your wall.. its so dope!
Man you’re a G, so much value in every video without the forced and fake delivery
very interesting video, i love your analysis !
Dope shit bro 🔥🤘 thank you
Just wanted to say: great video! Thx.
this is so sick, keep up the great work!
very good tips.learned a lot. luv from CN~~
aye another great video.. in other news tho.. that beat on tip 1 is fireee!!!
I really appreciate your videos for the way it never comes across like you're copying the artist you're focusing on, only taking inspiration. so much more insight than if you were to just do "how to make a Pharrell type beat"
I really like your vids man, keep it up g
Thank you Thomthom!
New here to your page... I can definitely say Pharrell is a huge influence in my sound being that I just started creating beats last April
been only listening to pharrell recently thank u for this
Great video as always. Would love to see a breakdown on HIT-BOY
A breakdown on HIT-BOY would be sick
Fantastic analysis bro🙌🏻
Good take bro
I used to use FL studio to make some home beats, it's been a long time since I've watched any videos on DAW or producing. I am totally blown by the amount of information you're sharing here. Thank you so much. I just finished like 4 videos from your channel and got to see on your bio that you've been making music for a long time now. It would be great to have a video on how did you start and what kind of DAW do you use. Again, thank you so much for the share. Take care.
naive the goat, banger of a video!
Thank you
Love these breakdowns. Have you done one for el-p yet?
+1 that would be nice!
El P would be another really awesome idea
Love El Producto’s style!
Your videos inspire so much
Great input. That's high praise, coming from me. Yes I know how I sound. It's the truth.
One of your better videos imho. Cheers m8
Excellent Analysis!
Thank youuuu👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🪩🪩🔥🔥🔥
The greatest never depends on tools, the greatest use the tools in the order to serve his or her life purpose.
very very informative , thank u😊🌺
Good analysis!!!!
You do a great job with you videos bro
This was very helpful and well-explained :) Thanks so much! And the giant hat looks good 😂
Nice break down...👍🏾
4:31 that's some real sauce, brother, respect 💯💯🙏🏿
amazing video navie!
Thank you Meyerrrrrr
7:38 I swear there was a two year period in the 00s where every Neptunes beat sounded exactly like this 🤣
Fantastic video as usual Navie D.
Salute 👍🏿
Thought the same haha.
Me and my wife like to play Pharrell Roulette while driving sometimes.
You just hear it instantly if the Neptunes or Pharrell has something to do with the beat.
@@PistonsNr1 🤣🤣👍🏿
Amazing insight 🔥
great video bro thanks
Great Vid💥
I just learned this. Im going to start getting busier with these one shots.
Pharrell also loves the 4 count of melody slice at all his tracks intros
Awesome! would be nice see you talk about pete rock!
i walk away from every one of your videos with a new angle to approach production from, thank you.
he simply uses call and answer technique with everything, even drums.
love these videos. you should make one for dr dre.
I’ve been waiting for someone to make this video for years 😩
Very good!keep on practicing
Thank you thank you
Thank you!
No, thank YOU!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! Pharell saying he was pretending to be Premo was a gem ... Both of them influenced my sound!
Great Video - I would love to see a RZA type video ;-)
I’m a new subscriber I love your breakdown of beat making I am currently working on a beat using a sample from killing me softly I love the first part of the song
Love these videos. Could you do Clams Casino next?
your videos on music productions ideas are, quite literally, the only music production youtube videos that don't immediately make me vomit. thank you very much for making them!
Cardo Got Wingz.
Pete Rock.
Monte Booker.
These would be great future videos IMO.
Great video you just found a new subscriber
Would be amazing to see a song breakdown of the game - hate it or love it. As the producers chop up that sample to perfection!
I never know how to spell rhythm either ;) haha great video! thank you for the tips
Ok. My favorite producer is Pharrell. This was a good video breaking down some of his techniques. I hit like on the video. Then you pulled up the Ye vid?! Kanye is my second favorite producer so I had to immediately subscribe. 👍🏽
I really like this approach of tutorials...it’s about studying. I know this isn’t totally the genre you focus on but could we study some flylo? He’s my hero
This man doesn't miss!
Good stuff Navie. Maybe do cookin soul or apollo brown next?
The beats cookin soul did for Nipsey are 🔥
thank you thank you thank you
Thank you for your videos. It would be cool to see a video about the secrets of Apollo Brown.
Early pharell was a huge influence when I was starting out back in the day.
Who would you say is the biggest influence next
@@NavieD pharrell taught me the importance of understanding music and then JD taught me the importance of understanding groove.
interesting that Kanye covered a while ago here also uses toms and other percussive elements more melodically sometimes, especially great using the synthier drum machine toms pairing them with Kanye-esque distortion
Best totrials ever
now you should talk about Varnish la piscine!!
You are underappreciated. I am subscribed, but there are still some lost souls out there.
You have good ideas yourself when you’re giving these examples 💯💯 a lot of these sorta vids give advice then the example beat they make is weak. Keep it up 🔥🔥
I didn't know benzema was a producer, great! 😂❤
The man is a hit machine
My man!)
Danny boyyyy
great video! do MFDOOM next please
