nique316 yo! why the hate? he's got a good point

[@IToraino]

Producers deserve more credit

[@kevine-anaba4348]

one of the ways they could is be like dj khaled annoying ass and make it known they made the beat 😒😔(I don't recommend it tho)

[@kevine-anaba4348]

Amazing Jay are you serious????

[@kevine-anaba4348]

Amazing Jay how do you know ?

[@kevine-anaba4348]

C L then he needs to remove the damn D J from his name if this is the case

[@Hypno_BPM]

Amazing Jay facts he just sells albums based off other ppls work

[@Naekotine]

Homie said ear candy like it's something never been said

[@josephblanchard6248]

😂

[@AlbertLara]

Half of this video was them stunning in front of the camera instead of showing their music skills. Like what was the point of the shot at 5:28 and 5:49 ?

[@MM-ds4qv]

@@AlbertLara i think thats one way to give them credits for them not just like those backstage dudes sitting in front of computers they are also part of the 'coolness' of hiphop.

[@RBN_08]

Albert L stop hatin bruh

[@azzy_k3060]

@@MM-ds4qv exactly my thought

[@kung-fukennyfamily]

Just point The fact that *Chris* rented out a whole water park to shoot this video is crazy fr.

[@KyxLimitless]

Kung-Fu Kenny Family just? thts Chris brown

[@LeBeautiful]

Producers getting their dues! That lead tho...thanks again genius 💝💿
and yes, I would also call it ear-candy. (1:48)

[@WadeAndersonProductions]

LeBeautiful crazy to think that that's really Chris browns voice tho! Shoutout to the engineer for that one too!!

[@meanmuggin0384]

LeBeautiful yess

[@gibsoncallaway9922]

They need to they the ones who made part of these rappers career blow up in the first place!

[@paulto5185]

Bruh youre everywhere this shit lit tho

[@5518sw]

S/O to OG Parker . I remember him producing for OG Maco a few year ago now he’s producing for Chris Brown 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JavTheRipper]

STAK he has a huge portfolio!

[@t___0]

One of the best songs of 2017

[@kevine-anaba4348]

the best

[@sorrelleee8875]

Fr

[@Seniaxc]

After watching shit like this, the song all together sounds so much better for some reason. You actually listen to the music instead of focusing on the lyrics. It’s lit.

[@jayguap2585]

Jessenia Diaz so fucking true 💯

[@nathand.384]

So true Jessenia. Can we sleep together now.

[@ruthmaduka4859]

Honestly I have always been listening to the beats of various songs and when I notice little notes and tell my friends, they make me feel like I’m crazy cause they can’t hear it 😂

[@paul_nthny]

that's why people who don't want to appreciate producers and their craft and say "meh they just press buttons" are fucking retarded

[@ricandthadeusmusic]

that one bass note is really grinding my gears

[@xXThundersonicXx]

EXACTLY, theres something about that doesnt sound right lmao

[@marcomarkproductions]

hahaha i thought i was the only one... its out of key

[@vumlux]

Yes it's off-key

[@LaMeduzeBeatz]

like how can this happen ???

[@tyrusjones]

thought i was the only one that noticed lmao

[@leandre1808]

Southside & Metro wouldn't show an inch of the screen lol

[@josephblanchard6248]

Leandre lol 😂😂😂😂

[@oneshot1086]

and can’t blame them 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@chavonjames8941]

Check Metro on Razer Music for FL Studio

[@NowyouknowMusic]

This is dope. I love how Smash looks straight outta the 90's with that Backstreet boys look.

[@smashdavid203]

Nowyouknow thank you!

[@MylesSquared]

What a dope ass collab

[@brandya3030]

fac

[@demiladeolaleye8766]

It's crazy how OG Parker is now bigger than OG Maco

[@selimbh7375]

Those types of video give real motivation for producers thank you Genius !

[@FLeXN]

This beat was WET-WET-WET-WET.....

[@demiladeolaleye8766]

Deconstructed gets better with the cinematography with every episode

[@stalintyson7598]

Almost every producer in genius deconstructed videos "I grew up playing drums in the church"

[@grant6917]

Finally... Chris Breezy getting love on Genius! 🔥❤❤💯

[@matteoberardi2155]

Grant Wilson True it never happens hajaja

[@AllHailNannerpuss]

It would help if he didn't brutally abuse Rihanna. No, no one is gonna live it down. That's some fucked up shit.

[@grant6917]

All Hail Nannerpuss its people like you that make this world even more negative, imma say this once, watch his documentary, they both were hitting each other in the car and both admitted and said they forgive each other, if Rihanna can move on then y'all haters need to move on

[@grant6917]

Scarlet Dawn it doesn't matter, they both said sorry, stoo the hate

[@rnbedits5609]

Yes was thinking the same thing

[@rahuliyengar6577]

OG made the beat unique.

[@elijahashman9716]

Rahul Iyengar fucking syth took me somewhere else.

[@rahuliyengar6577]

Elijah Ashman totally!

[@kortezmadeit9963]

This is one of my favorite producer collaboration tracks ever pills & automobiles

[@PureJesusFreak116]

OG Parker is crazy underrated. Him and Deko made the Slippery beat for Migos which was one of the best beats on Culture, if not the best.

[@ashtonsallthat3432]

damn Its crazy to think even the records on radio are using the same plugins were all using haha

[@xdangelovidz]

AshtonsAllThat creativity is the only factor

[@nirvanacobain001]

tf do you think they have some secret plugins lmao

[@MrAmazing110]

OG PARKER KILLIN THA GAME

[@donhunt409]

Producers don't ever know.....its always, "I put this 808 in this here to give the song a.....i don't know" lmao

[@chuckyboi2903]

Nobody giving Smash David his due credit, dude works hard af

[@smashdavid203]

Manofrose facts bro thanks!

[@drydessert4198]

It would be even better if the sub bass was in the same key as the melody and chords. :)

[@Swagcom-kh7cu]

The second 808 note E added tension to the song. Tension is a good thing for music.

[@heavybread3958]

That "BA-BA-BAEEE" he sings over it gives me life

[@MazouzBeats]

Genius is the place! Producers finally gettin their shine! 🔥

[@dhiggsofficial]

Hottest track out rn, gotta get more Chris Brown tracks on here they all LIT AF!!!

YESS, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@robertprince2651]

Teamwork, and work ethic breeds success.

[@jessemay1000]

I been waiting for this.!

[@TheHotIcedTea]

All their drums are from TM88 lmao

[@yungtera2757]

TheHotIcedTea Exactly my point. Producers stay biting TM88, Southside, Metro Boomin and other members of 808 Mafia

[@prodhenri]

They're good though, the TM88 Nightmare drum kit is the best free drum kit 100%

[@pyrexnemo]

And all tm88 southside metro Boomin drums come from bwheezy beats (he use to produce under shawty redd) drumkit... a lot ppl dnt know that tho

[@bonetheproducer9700]

I got that kit, those aren't the same sounds lol Idk what TM kit they using

[@ProdBySxB]

TM88 nightmare V3, I just found every sound used in this beat in there

[@Dan-uy2oy]

Bruh that one 808 note is bothering me more than it should lmao

[@benja303]

3 producers and nobody noticed. thats really bad man

[@kevine-anaba4348]

i will never get tired of this song

[@deanthonybeavers373]

Been waiting for this 🔥

[@OMGKENNY]

tryna get here one day maaan

[@r0ah]

"i would call it ear candy..." sounds like he about to cry lmao

[@haiderh042]

OG Parker 🔥🔥

[@AakkoPetersenBeats]

[@Leotique]

That younger Martianz looks like young Skrillex hiding in the hoodie

[@theomegaman344]

Nice factory production style

[@jeremiahbeats6306]

og parker is definitely an og! I would make hit songs all day with these guys! 🔥

[@manert1012]

This couldve easily been a top 10 hit if it was promoted right...

[@theerealatm]

Yeah the title of the song is not matching. Should’ve just called it wet or something.

[@nanjihermannapara2343]

*The piece to complete the puzzle*

[@intendedexpression6609]

Og parker added all the dope shit i loved about the instrumental.

[@iheartblicky]

Wet! Wet! Wet! 💦

[@kortezmadeit9963]

Outstanding skills and talent keep up the great work

[@wasabiiu4169]

Every damn time it ends up being omnisphere😭. Luckily i just found it with 7 month payments cuz that plug is exspensive. Cant wait to use it 😍
