- Memphis rapper NLE Choppa broke out in a major way with “Shotta Flow,” which peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The rowdy Midas800-produced track has spawned a Blueface-assisted remix and two sequels to date. Genius recently sat down with the Philadelphia producer to break down how the song was made.

Bruh it really be only 4 sounds 😭😭
Dude, as long as the beat is *catchy* and the artist has a good *flow*, any song will do good.
@@TMIMM but it doesn't mean it is the best song to be on a deconstructed episode
Still a hit tho. As long as its a good vibe people will listen to it.
Simple beats are always the best
That’s obviously yo can hear them
Did the computer go into flames after he finished the beat
no
shit is simple as fuck , fuck u talm about...
anasx4 simple is good and this shit is simple and fye asf, fuck YOU talking about
Faxs
O K don’t worry about it 😂 niggas be hating and want attention shit is sad but yeah it’s simple but the beat go crazy you don’t gotta do a lot for sum to go crazy and how it makes somebody feel 😂
Just proves a beat doesn't need to be complex to hit hard.
This has been proved before.
@@diismal9666 Well this proves it further.
Just as long as it’s good.
This has been known for decades
Maybe centuries
Nobody:
Midas800: I be makin beats on the toilet.
Nobody:
Midas800:i make beats but i don't use any kicks...
Just check the uno vid
This guy said repeating the sound a couple times before the drop is something he invented😭😭 not like it's Pharrell's signature thing
i was gonna say that too
Yeah that's Pharell's signature sound...Everyone be doing that these days tho. Tothiana has it too, Uno has it as well...Even I got depression by Zach Fox but Kenny did it playing tho.
Pharrell only uses 4 beats and Midas used 8 but I see where you got it from
Y’all really think Pharrell was the first person to repeat the bar before the beat drop. Lmmmmao.
A.Z. Big cap, west coast invented that 4 bar start
He just made the biggest trap banger of 2019 using 4 sounds that's willldd.
Bluesomesam so many beats sound like that
@@user-oo2gz9ln8v not really
Bluesomesam this beat is trash
@@donjohnson6413 boi
@TreCookEm the flow makes the song good not the beat. even choppa kart sounds good and acrylo literally just put some dumbass mario kart music on it th-cam.com/video/kiNAVSvd8jY/w-d-xo.html
if this guy was good you'd know him for more than 1 song
What a simple beat, but a dope concept all together. Congrats you two!
Didn’t start the video and I can already here the *YEAH, YEAH, **_YEAH!!!_* Midas really got the gold touch, hope NLE has more collabs with him
LeBeautiful stop being everywhere
Swish GAZZY he can’t help it he’s LeBeautiful
I just wanted to say
*Leave me alooonnneee*
I GAVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS dude you just gave me goosebumps
Are you french?
So get this , a 16 year old made a hit song off a 17 year olds beat off youtube
McQueen ddg poudii. charcoal Yameen they both come from Good camps
I'm only 11 and I have a few beats on Airbit (unfortunately no one cares about them)
@@wiltedangel you need to promote them, and put them out
MGTHEBEST if you're only 11 and you're already making beats, you're definitely going to have someone notice you and appreciate your work as you get older. never give up. knowing youth like you want to expand music inspires me completely. if you ever want to show anyone your work, i'd love to hear man
0:15 this is every (FREE) TYPE BEAT rapper’s dream. To use the free version of a beat, then after that ask the producer and they’re still cool with you using it, and continue to work with you.
LWLman FR!!! Not only the rapper but the producers dream to have someone use your free beat and still hit you up afterwards. Nle choppa was cool about it. Most artists wouldve not even thought about hitting the producer up.
@@claudiofunes1380 You gotta be crazy
If he didnt hit the producer up he'd get sued for millions of dollars. This is a hit. We are entering industry/label terrains here. The beat had to be cleared for it to go under streaming platforms/performances, etc. If he was smart, he prolly got a HUGE checc!
scooby doo but if its a “Free” type beat doesnt it mean he doesnt have to clear it regardless if it goes viral or not? Because once you put something out and name it a free beat im not sure it entitles you to any royalties. If you know more about the subject would you care to elaborate? Thanks man
@@claudiofunes1380 Sure man.
& No. Basically a "free-non profit" type beat is a term producers use to get views on their beats and land placements with rappers. But if you get it on these beats and lets say your song gets popular, the producer still owns the rights to the beat 100%, you cant say in a court of law that the beat said in the description "free for non profit" or "free for profit". The only way you're safe with a beat is if you buy it from these stores like Beatstars because you get a contract that says you own 50% of the song (the producer also owns 50% of the song all the time)
When it comes to songs that actually become hits, its even more complicated, the rapper can never go without paying because in order to put it on digital platforms like spotify and promote it, the label needs to clear the beat or else they will get sued by the producer and trust me, they rather pay then get sued and that cost them much more money.
scooby doo i see man. Thanks for the info bro i appreciate it
Is it me or when I'm cooking a beat I make my self feel like I'm in a genius interview 😂😂
REAL
@@IanPlug 😂😂
😂 I be like am doing a breakdown 😂😂

dude really be juuling in the studio

Wait, isn’t he only 17?
k3V actually it has
Saile Acne yeah lmao
“Where’s my super suit” 😂😂
“The 808’s are kinda simple, but I still had a little versatility with it”
Literally uses 4 different notes and half of it is the same note lol
what more did this beat need exactly? stop hating stupid
Every rapper: Holding AK47s & Uzis

Robin You realize you can buy software and not install it? You can’t be serious lmfao. The whole point is to support the company who helped create your career
@@eternalglow6483 whats the point? i could care less about these companies only one i really care about is the actual fl studio id prolly buy that but i could care less about plug ins
Shout outs to NLE for reaching out to this dude and making sure he got what he deserve. A lot of artists be leaving the producers in the dirt and not compensating for the time and effort they put in.
We need more complicated and in depth breakdowns man. This cool but not worth waiting so long for a release for such a simple piece like this.
Scooter1 I want to here stuff like Kanye’s stuff you know those beats that be like trippy and complex
Elijah Beach Exactly bruh
@@elijahbeach3834 if you know music you would know nothing is complex about Kanye's beats
kendrick turner productions you’re so cool
We’re talking about 17 year old producers messing around with their program until they make a beat, this dude’s my age and making beats better than anybody else I know lol, there’s nothing really technical about how people our age make these beats I.e. tay keith and this dude
we all kno he cappin when he said "i make a beat sittin in the toilet" 😂😂😂😂
I have lol it actually works way better than in the bedroom
maybe it works some type of way tho but still you gotta sittin there atleast half an hour to do yo thing 😂
No he really isn’t
Karungthar Marem why would he cap about that 😂
Karungthar Marem he really not Yameen i Live wit the kid
Those three beats he played on TH-cam sound exactly the same😂
''I always get creative with 808s'' 3:04 😂😂😂
He said he didn't get creative for this track
You watched the video?
he literally said it was simple on this beat tho
It's just awesome how simple beats can change your life, you only need goat artist to kill it 🐐 Midas800 go Crazy
Simple Beats finna be the new wave.🔥
@@yrevli5 yeah simple is better,also gives more room for the artist to hop on it.
@@jonxjon6553 fax
@@yrevli5 fo sure thanks 🙏🏼
yea YG uses simpleee ass beats and he hard
yrevli5 Music while I do agree that simple beats are fire but sometimes simple sounds too...well, simple. In certain cases complexity and versatility can add elements that complement a song VERY well imho.
Love that you show behind the scenes stuff on producing
It’s not something you see often
Choppa : I heard the Tempo
Man how tf u hear tempo...he got 20/20 hearing or sumn?

Absolutely love the simplicity of this..too many producers out here making flex beats

I like how they post the producers and not just only the artists
respect to choppa reaching out to him and showed his appreciation
"I really go crazy with the 808"
3 notes.
simplicity is key
this dont need a beat deconstruct. we all made beats like this when we first started out as producers... we just didnt know how to mix em lmaoo
Somni-rap fax

Love seeing these young producers get the recognition they deserve

God bless ☝🏽💯
Man you’re great, god bless ya
you got me multiple times with this comment
Producers, remember.. All of the beats that you have made and you think its trash, that beat will lead you to success.
Madness. I would make 50 beats like this a day and name them fjsdjgsdg.flp jhsdfsdg.flp ideaaaaa194.flp shitdeletethisrly.flp and then just scrap them because I'd consider them too simple and bad.
I don't get it. Luck, and who you know >>>>> skill
Simplicity at its finestttt 🎶 🔥
The man has gained 1k subs since this video. He deserves more

@@fredrickcosma8942 and who are you? Am I missing something?
Reetro Just someone who wasn’t talking to you, who are you?
nigga what? NLE used the FREE beat that he found on youtube. thats the only reason these producers post the beats to youtube, they hope a rapper uses the beat and then the songs blows and the rapper hits them up after so the producer can make money off the song too. this is literally the dream for any youtube producer. you dumb as shit. i swear yall dont understand how the music industry works

That’s why producers put tags in the video🤦🏽♂️

Frozone out there makin beats in FL Studio
the producers that upload type beats on youtube are always gonna blow up
Love it.
i always say im gonna make a banger in fl studio after watching these then i go in fl studio and cant think of anything
One thing you could do is hum a melody then harmonize it. If you'd like to know how to harmonize one way look up signals studio diatonic. Some other good channels to watch to up you're production game is Mangold Project, Rick beato, Hack Music theory and Alex Moukala although alex is for ochestra. Good searches are hack music theory bass, rick beato basics of music music theory, mangold project chords, and signals studio chords. Happy music making 😃
Midodon thanks bro
@@mikk3559 You're welcome
3:21 the west coast been doing that lmao
This beat always got my head bumpin'..😪
