The beginning of America's most Blunted is what always gets me. At least 10 samples mixed together so fluently that they just flow. One of the only producers whose skits never get boring
Personally an album like this was something “new” back in 2004… hip hop’s community could have not been ready for it, but in the end everyone managed to recognize the genius of DOOM and Madlib in it, which was not taken for granted.
I was into underground when this dropped. Worked at a record store in the Bay Area. It's not that we weren't ready. Nothing about this album at the time was way beyond the many choices available. There is lots of weird underground music that lots of people were into. Project Blowd, Anticon, Ol'dominion, Hieroglyphics, Peanut Butter Wolf was also Stones Throw, and many others. This DOOM album got really blown up after his death. It became popular to make videos about it like this one. DOOM was was on TV and shit. He wasn't unknown or a secret. We were used to weird music. I had bought and suggested him to others so it's not like I didn't like it. It was just a piece of the scene. Not any more important than any other.
@@emceeunderdogrising you really were not the slightest into it idiot. since ill bill and necro invented rap and 2whak and feminem stole it, mf doom was the last bastion of realness. it was IT. still today, what besidas canibus can screw with that? the single syllabils off beat by feminem? ok cassidy, but hey, cass does not count as mortal. and you talk about it was not significant? and thats nothing about undergound. thats just a plain rapthing. afterwards rap went, for better, to the germans that can handle a flow
@@emceeunderdogrising ehh that's halfway true. I was in college when Madvillainy came out and it made instant noise in the underground scene. In fact, it's pretty much the only album in that Def Jux/underground backpacker scene that went beyond the white Def Jux type crowd into the Black college crowd. And then as years went by, it went into general hip hop consciousness. To the point were the ASAP Rocky, Odd Future, Drake, Joey Badass generation were referencing DOOM directly/indirectly if not outright biting him. And this is while DOOM was alive. NONE of those other weird underground albums went anywhere. They were weird for the sake of weird and were basically industrial rock, not hip hop.
@2:20 when you explained that it was a 3 bar loop its actually 4 bars In the context of a 3/4 time signature, it is a 4 bar loop. In the context of a 4/4 time signature (like it is set up in your DAW) it is a 3 bar loop.❤
You should do special documentary about the producers we have over the years, but like in a mid format like 20 minute video and in the end try to replicate and teach how each technique the producer uses! I can right away suggest starting with Kanye West. Keep the videos coming ❤
Hey Navie, I just wanna say thank you, I’ve been a subscriber for 3 years and your videos have helped me improve my production using your techniques and the techniques you’ve also learned from other GOAT producers like madlib and alchemist, You’re really a legend, Thank You
@@xyoungwx I wasn't a big fan like I had to go listen to him but I appreciated his artistry. I liked his Viktor Vaughn project and MM...Food from what I heard
Great video!! Love seeing the technique of “fixing” the sample rhythm by putting the chops at the beginning of each bar instead of the end. Gonna keep that tool in mind the next few days 💪
you are doing it the hard way! he did this on a MPC! it's so fluid how he made them once you know where to chop. this is one of the albums that made me save up and buy one. i started with and still love FL, but some things are easier with tactile feedback. that being said, you did this so well, that i feel like i almost wasted my money. you're like a wizard with that daw, sir.
Navie we really like these documentary type videos can you do more like these? And i request if you can show how to make cinematic stuff you know big orchestral beats like the ones nf uses please respond😊
Thanks for not misspelling his name like you did on that other video (maldib).. c'mon man how do you screw that up?, Imagine if someone misspelled your name like this.. "NAIVE" D (hahaa)
Gaddam this is my favorite video you've ever made, I would love more of these. These albums are crazy awesome on a production level and I would love to hear your takes on them, maybe too underground for a wider audience so I understand if not Real Bad Man/Boldy James Earl - Some Rap Songs billy woods - Church Mach Hommy - HBO Any 9th wonder like DUCKWORTH Scaring the Hoes
title and thumbnail: DOOM was bad and the beats saved it from him. first minute of video: "people wanted to hear the full finished version of madvillainy and they were hyped for what they heard. and honestly it's no wonder why, MF DOOM was just legendarily amazing on this album." I understand feeling the need to use clickbait, but it's always frustrating seeing a good content creator use it so blatantly when you know they're smart/creative enough to come up with intriguing titles rather than cheapening their great videos with blatant clickbait
I was born on 03. I see videos the concerts like the adult swim one in Houston. That was peak, that was the height of our empire on the united states. Traveling poets pilgrimed the earth spreading the good word of DOOM, and we learned.. the Villain is the Hero.
@@NavieD I have one. And even though it’s not too difficult to chop. You don’t have many pads. Only 8 at a time. So it’s perplexing with breakdowns like this to think about what he actually was doing on that machine. Not having it be as easy as it would be if he was using a daw. Plus the sequencing is done live. And all by ear. It takes another level of skill to achieve what he did/does. Even though he is known to be using an ipad nowadays. Which I’m sure makes it easier.
That scoundrel you Mentioned was probably Egon or PBW. Think about it, Bootleg the rough version, so that they can sell it again as a Bonus cassette lol Which I think is what Stones Throw actually did. I hope this theory isn't true that would be some nasty work right there lol 😭😂
I used the Figaro's original sample for one of my grime tracked called "elite", i'd love for you the decypher and break down how you think I approached it at a 140 bpm tempo instead of hip hop
I remember downloading the illegal release accidentally when I was just finding Doom. Man, i wish i cohld find it because some track actually sound better. Classic album regardless of the version.
i fucking love madlib and i always wanted to learn his style broken down thanks for making this video Navie D i also have suggestion please make an video about breakdown of Stoupes Sampling his Sampling is also super different
Madvillainy isn’t that good. MM…FOOD and Operation: Doomsday are far superior. Hell even DOOM XMAS is a better album and it’s a mash up (excellently done by Cookin Soul of course).
I personally have been using technique without even knowing I was doing (Lol). I wish you could hear my beats and desconstruct them to explore the techniques I use.
Yo Navie became a big fan. You help me a lot with my beats but what I realized is that you don't have videos on the new-gen producers. I really wanna see Tyler the creator break down or Metro Bomin or even Mike Dean
Man, your thesaurus is working overtime trying to convince us that these aren't some basic ass chops lmao (does not mean the album isn't a classic if some r'tard tries to come for me)
Pretty confident this is my most enjoyable video from your channel! Great video. Really cool to see some of my favorites broken down. Keep rocking Navie 🔥🤙
The beginning of America's most Blunted is what always gets me. At least 10 samples mixed together so fluently that they just flow. One of the only producers whose skits never get boring
Listen to “the history of the loop digga” and that use of vocal samples is all over it. Really dope shit. My favourite beat tape of his personally.
Absolute pimp track.
Sickfit is the another necksnapper
My favorite song on it
@@dja.selekta DOOM said that beat was too sick to even spit on it. Legend
literally from the dialogue to the bong rips and the background noises just shatters my ears, such good mixing and mastering from lib

Lol everybody was coming out with experimental hip hop albums in the mid 2000s. Even waaay before that. You must've not been there.

Pretty sure he already said that, no?
@@djlethargicnot exactly
@@djlethargic He didn't because it is 3 beats in 4 bars instead of 4 beats in 4 bars.
Makes sense but how do you even count it as a 4/4 beat? Sounds awkward
A breakdown on 36 chambers would be good as
That is also a great idea!
You should do special documentary about the producers we have over the years, but like in a mid format like 20 minute video and in the end try to replicate and teach how each technique the producer uses! I can right away suggest starting with Kanye West.
Keep the videos coming ❤
I kinda do something like that with my videos on 'what producers can learn from XYZ'
I never noticed that figaro used the same sample as “I shit on you” by D12 😯
Same note too bro! Love that track.
I’m so glad you covered shadows of tomorrow probably one of my favorite beats on the lp his techniques are so good
Hey Navie, I just wanna say thank you, I’ve been a subscriber for 3 years and your videos have helped me improve my production using your techniques and the techniques you’ve also learned from other GOAT producers like madlib and alchemist,
You’re really a legend, Thank You
Navie u should make one of these for Wu-tang 💯 another fye video
I gotta check this album out. I've seen it but never listened to it and I like MF Doom.
Great video because these techniques are crazy 🔥
It's a wild adventure in audio form
It’s wild you like MF DOOM and never listened to this masterpiece
@@xyoungwx I wasn't a big fan like I had to go listen to him but I appreciated his artistry. I liked his Viktor Vaughn project and MM...Food from what I heard
You are clearly not lying because you forgot all caps when you spell the mans name
@@ErikSousley I never spelled his name with all caps. That's trivial to me lol
Great video. I would love to see you break down Blueprint-Vigilante Genesis. Aesop rock got busy on the beats really quickly. 👏🏾
Great video, man!
This video was extra sick, would love to see one talking about Aquemini
You must be from the A. I was thinking the same thang! 🙌🏾
Ha, I remember downloading Figaro off of limewire. I assumed it was to drum up hype.
Your channel is dope mahn.... Keep going big fella 💪🏾
We love these videos. Keep’em coming 🙏🏾
you are my new favorite channel
yes we love these mini doc vids
Love you videos g
I believe that Reakwon's crimonolgy is 3/4 segment
You should do this type of video about RZA and Enter The Wutang!!!
Great breakdown man. Love your content 💪🔥💯
Wonderful content! Keep it up!
This is a great channel. 👍
Dope! 💯💯💯💥💥💥
Do Donuts next!!!
Make one for kanye yeezus
Navie pls make breaking down of serato sample, real needed, appreciate your work. Greetings from Ukraine🇺🇦
Misleading title?
Sample seems easy to work with.
madlib is the goat for me but this doesnt come close to operation doomsday in my eyes.
Great video!! Love seeing the technique of “fixing” the sample rhythm by putting the chops at the beginning of each bar instead of the end. Gonna keep that tool in mind the next few days 💪

that being said, you did this so well, that i feel like i almost wasted my money. you're like a wizard with that daw, sir.
I think he actually used an SP303 and a cd recorder for arranging/overdubbing
Don’t forget the massive pic of Lib with an SP1200 on the album art. I think he used/uses a variety of hardware and techniques
@@urbansuburbenz True.
He mad madvillainy on an sp303, a cheap portable turntable and a tape player/recorder on a micro hifi.
Recently listened to Sound Ancestors twice this week. Time to bump this classic again. Fire breakdown on the techniques, Navie 🔥
Thank you dude! Is Madlib one of your favs
@@NavieD Yes he is, hey. The projects that sold me on his work was his Medicine Show series. His range and taste in sampling is amazing.
i feel like filling in the gaps by just repeating the beginning of each bar was an obvious solution to the 3/4 time signature issue
Yeah I wanted to compare how it sounds by filling the gaps in at the end and how much better it sounds
yeah, this is something you figure out if you’re deep in the beats, but i’ve never seen someone put in a tutorial
I need this to be longer. This was inspiring. Lib is the greatest
Great breakdown! Only wish you did the entire album. Such a classic ❤
Navie we really like these documentary type videos can you do more like these?
And i request if you can show how to make cinematic stuff you know big orchestral beats like the ones nf uses please respond😊
I'm gonna try to do more of these since they're fun to make.
@@NavieD yep and informative 🎧
One of my all time fav albums and collection of beats. Great vid mayn.
Thank you thank you
Its fire but DOOMSDAY has better beats, also MM Food
Also vaudeville villain
This project was Doomed… I see what you did there 😏
A lil pun, if you will
A bit mad lipped
Ha, witty
I love this documentary style video Navie. The story and praise for the album made me excited about what I was about to learn. Keep that going 🔥🔥
One of the greatest and the most unique rapper 🔥
Definitely. One of the funniest too
Thanks for not misspelling his name like you did on that other video (maldib).. c'mon man how do you screw that up?, Imagine if someone misspelled your name like this.. "NAIVE" D (hahaa)

This must be your Best video ever. I love it. Only problem: i wanted more :).
P.S. Boom bap box bangs.
Hahah glad you liked it! I am thinking of trying more videos in this style.
Glad you like BBB!
@@NavieD its actually the first kit i have purchased and im really satisfied.

That scoundrel you Mentioned was probably Egon or PBW. Think about it,
Bootleg the rough version, so that they can sell it again as a
Bonus cassette lol
Which I think is what Stones Throw actually did.
I hope this theory isn't true that would be some nasty work right there lol
😭😂
I used the Figaro's original sample for one of my grime tracked called "elite", i'd love for you the decypher and break down how you think I approached it at a 140 bpm tempo instead of hip hop
These are my favorite vids you make I love this format😍
Several classic hip-hop songs form the 1990s are 3 bar loops. Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul both had them.
I remember downloading the illegal release accidentally when I was just finding Doom.
Man, i wish i cohld find it because some track actually sound better.
Classic album regardless of the version.
XXYYXX Self Titled mixtape I want a break down of that!

What songs do you mean? 2:48
Can you do a video on Dr. Dre? Thank you for this video.🔥🔥🔥
I don’t like videos like this I LOVE them!!!! MV is one of my fav albums ever.
That album had some of the craziest sample flips I've ever come across ! Great video man !
how the hell you get your serato thru the piano roll? im to dump for it
Never heard this album... I may give it a listen
woww!!! thank's for the video... Madlib is too much levels, too Djedi, thank's for explaining a little the Magic... Namaste Haribol Asewe!
Mobb Deep production is some of the most influential production on me as a young producer besides Timberland and Swizz Beatz
i dont believe the techniques are something that extraordinary but the sound selection is the beautiful part
Dope breakdown.
I love that album all DOOMS albums are dope same with madlib so perfect combination....i love how madlib had that perfect sound for MF DOOM
your videos are awesome
Your comments are awesome, so plz keep them coming
i fucking love madlib and i always wanted to learn his style broken down
thanks for making this video Navie D
i also have suggestion please make an video about breakdown of Stoupes Sampling his Sampling is also super different
unique beatmaker .love this video . plase more like this 🙌🙌
I'm going to make a dope ass dip set type beat to this using the 3/4 fast hi hats and horns
OMG THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO....THAT BEAT FINNA BE EPIC

i LOOOOOVED raid. I loved it ever since i saw it during the bank robbery scene from the boondocks.
Yo this vid answers a lot of the questions ive had about madlibs style.
cool that the person reviewing the course profile name is Byzantine☦️💙📿
Please do beatmakers I think they did diplomatic immunity
Heatmakerz*
@@JEFFMAN90 I hope he does one on them
If anyone's curious to hear a hip-hop track that's in 3/4 check out Side Quest by Aesop Rock.
This is not rocket science I guess.... Madlib had an amazing ear than 99% of us
Man, your thesaurus is working overtime trying to convince us that these aren't some basic ass chops lmao (does not mean the album isn't a classic if some r'tard tries to come for me)
Pretty confident this is my most enjoyable video from your channel! Great video. Really cool to see some of my favorites broken down. Keep rocking Navie 🔥🤙
But wait!! What about the unique 808s Madlib used and how they were placed??
“It speaks well of the hyper base Wasn’t even tweaked and it leaked into cyberspace”
I know this may not be ur intention, but the title makes it seem like MF DOOM was going to ruin the album
Good luck explaining America’s most blunted
The brassy sound in Shadows of tomorrow is from Black Belt Jones theme song
Thank you for sharing!
Editing 10/10
Madlib probably didnt even think about it like that, pretty sure he just does it by feel.
I remember getting a leaked unfinished College Dropout that had the same effect.
I'd like to see a video on RJD2 if you're familiar with his work.
What's the sound of the person getting tournamented called
Weird I swear that, in the beginning, was 4X4 signature used on figaro
your videos allways inspires me
Idk why everybody likes this album. It’s not his best work.
Love this Album
ur videos are dope
u look like Karim Benzema
that's fire
