At 10:06 you can clearly hear that Kanye had sampled an error sound from a Windows operating system that did not exist at the time. This is one of society's best examples of time travel to date.

A Akhtab explain his first 5 albums, 808s for example is one of the main if not the main inspiration/kickstart to the new era trap and autotune music. Just his 808s style resonates in drake and future’s styles and that’s excluding the influence all of his other albums have.
I dont think yall realize the ability you needed to craft tracks of this caliber as an entry level producer in 1997....the technology was very limited in comparison to today. He was gifted, dont ever get it twisted
These are prerty terrible beats. Think about it. Pete Rock made Troy in 92 with analog equipment. By 97 fruity loops was out. Kanye was 20 when he made this and there are thousands of producers making better tracks younger than that.
You don’t know what the you’re talking about! TECH WAS NOT LIMITED! I had an ASR 10 in 1997 and COULD DO ALL OF THIS! These tracks are what they are, nice. Some nice flows could go over a few of them, BUT THEY’RE NOT HITS! But to reiterate my point Tech in 1995, 1996, 1997 which was either MPC 60, SP 1200, or ARS 10 WAS VERY CAPABLE OF MAKING THESE TRACKS!

I miss those days. Getting home from a night shift and turning on Adult Swim. Aqua Teen Hungerforce, Moral Oral, Robot Chicken, Squidbillies, Frisky Dingo, etc. Good times
before it was lofi we called it boombap. a lot of us that started producing in 90's and early 2000's were making this sound. thanks in part to pete rock, large professor, premo, alchemist, stoupe, dilla, beatminerz, and many more NYC greats.
Boom bap influenced LoFi greatly, but they’re not quite the same, Lofj is definitely more isolated, it’s supposed to work as a stand alone instrumental while boom bap beats are typically for a tempo’d boom bap styled rapper with jazz elements incorporated within it.
The beats were mad young but they had that Ye bounce even back then. It sounds just like he was just starting to find his sound a tiny bit. This is historic stuff
Ok, 9 months ago? He blew up🧨already and is rich now, with sneaks and a clothing line today, and is Keep up with the Kardashians married to Kim Kardashian. What cave have you been sleeping in. Fast forward to 2020 MATTERS PEOPLE PEACE&LOVE
I feel like he could record any of these today and they'd still be just as relevant. He has such a concrete and definitive style now that it's so easy to imagine him rapping over these.
It’s amazing cause you can still hear his distinct sound, it was just more applicable to that time period. Literally he just evolved with the times but carried the same musical principals ... as a fellow producer this is actually inspiring to listen to ✊🏽
I like seeing artists early work like this, and seeing what sticks as they go on. It’s interesting to see that he was using the pitched up soul vocal samples back then. I’m sure he didn’t invent it, but he used it well.
I remember hearing about him when I was in high school back then when I lived in Zion Ill. he was known locally as a cold producer and beat maker and this was in 95'
+Carl Mucker He had a hit-song locally in Chicago with his group the Go Getters in 98'/99' and it used to get heavy play there...he also produced beats for local groups in Chicago in the early 90's as a teen!

Actually y'all, there's a lot of music we partied to in the late 90s that were Ye', but he didn't get credit. People he trusted to put him on basically took from him and he didn't get any credit, royalties, nothing. Not even a damn shoutout. So, he made his way to Jay and Dame and the rest is history. I always laugh how on Diamonds he said, A/Rs looking like pssh we messed up. Yeah, the whole mid-West messed up. You basically robbed dude and now he making diamonds with his bare hands.
So many people seem to be hating on Kanye just because of his political standing. This beat tape is still good regardless of whether or not he supports Trump.
Ajeet Singh so many people seem to be loving kanye just because of his musical talent. his political standing is bullshit regardless of whether or not he makes good music.
true, but i think it's healthy, from a political point of view, to stop talking about kanye as a demi-god whose comments and stances can be taken lightly. he's shown his open support for a fascist who has harmed thousands of lives already, and will continue to do so. if hip-hop is not your thing, or simply you give a priority to political views rather than professional talent, then it's totally fine to "hate" (i.e. criticise openly) kanye or kim kardashian. kanye is a rich, powerful, influential person, subject to open discussion since he has used his convening power to honour donald effing trump. he's not a victim.
@@chabeloesdios Are you trying to say that I somehow referred to him as a "demi god" because I don't see how you've made such an inference. I understand he should be subject to criticism as especially as a person of influence but I take the view that politics and music (in this context) can be divorced and its therefore unfair to criticise his music because of his politics.
no, that was not my intention at all. sorry for the misunderstanding. i do believe that politics and art can be divorced, but that's not the case since it was kanye himself who got involved in major league politics. that was the point of my very first reply: it's inaccurate to criticise his musical talent, but it'd be lukewarm -to say the least- not to criticise his political standing. by saying "just because" and "this tape is still good", your first comment _might_ invisiblize the _extremely_ reasonable criticisms against him. (someone might say that by criticising his political views, we invisiblize his musical talent, and they'd be right as well; but also i'd reply that priorities must be set: we've had enough saying about how great he is. how poor a conversation about art is when only aesthetical value judgments are considered! it's ok to talk now about how terribly kanye has used his convening power, among many other interesting discussions). aside from that, i think we more or less agree on the essentials. cheers.
How? Just because he says some over the top shit on media doesn’t mean he’s that type of person behind closed doors. Y’all just relying on media to define who he is
It takes alot of commitment and brain power to master the ASR-10 like Kanye did. I believe it was difficult as a middle class, grade A student to make it in the 90's rap-game, or at least get recognised by A/R's as an up and comming artist. In the 00's his career exploded and his name is now known all over the world. All this from hard work combined with faith and passion for what he loved to do. Now he got in the position to make way for new artists, wich he did. Hats off for Kanye I guess. Disrespecting him would be ignorant.
Check out Abstract Mindstate, Local chicago act from the 90s, he just produced a new album for, they starting to buzz up again. I was just at their npr tiny desk concert the other day, should be releasing soon. New album on all platforms produced by kanye west
Thats a Ensoniq ASR-10 in the picture if anyone was wondering. Most likely used that for this beat tape or perhaps a Mirage. Doesn't really sound like an MPC
Big Sabbath true, you can hear the general sound if you listen to a lot of Hip Hop. you’re definitely right about this being done on the ASR 10, the sound reminds me of Alchemists early stuff which was made on the ASR 10 too
Chad Caravaggio not necessarily. the MpC has a particular distinctive sound. I can spot it a mile away. Same with sp1200. It’s more than sample rate. Or swing. It’s something about the way the drums hit.
The pinned take is pretty bad, but it ultimately has some truth to it. Before Kanye started "chipmunking" old soul samples he was pretty much only producing for local Chi artists. It's only when he started pitching up soul samples, that he started producing for bigger artists, and as a result Jay Z and the execs at Roc A took notice. If he never started chipmunking soul samples he probably wouldn't have produced The Blueprint, and he never would have dropped TCD (supported by JAY Z's reluctance to have him leave the label after doing so much on The Blueprint) and as a result would have never become the superstar we know him as today. I don't think he would be "working at a car dealership in Chicago" but he would probably be an in-house producer for a small label. Realistically, Kanye only ever got the chance to rap because he was such a unique producer and Roc A didn't want to lose him. If he wasn't so unique (no chipmunking) he probably wouldn't have been allowed to rap and would had been relegated to a producer and wouldn't have blown up. You have to understand that Kanye didn't appeal to many labels back then. No matter how good he was labels would never sign him as a rapper because he didn't fit the mold of a "hard ghetto rapper" that many labels were after back then. Much in the vain of DMX or Jadakiss (two artists signed around that time.) Roc A didn't want Ye to rap, but they let him out of fear of him leaving. Either way, I'm glad he made it.
@@zenscope8090 Or that he blew up later on, though he didn't use the samples, which would make sense considering these beats, which use minimal samples already show insane talent.
I politely disagree. Sounds a lot more like the glitzy Bad Boy sound on here to me. And I doubt Kanye was really down with Dilla in 97. I mean all Dilla had was The Pharcyde album, Beats Rhymes and Life, Stakes Is High and a few joints on Busta's debut. He was far from a household name and it'd be a big assumption to assume Kanye had heard of him back then let alone been inspired by him enough to implement those influences into his style. But it is all subjective of course, I'm not bashing your opinion fam :)
Bruh its obvious that he was influenced by Dilla. You hear that high pitch screech that's coating every track on this bitch right? That's how Dilla added clarity to his tracks. J Dilla could serve a mix like a Beatles engineer. ............... and Kanye has plenty interviews where he pays homage. Both raised in the Midwest
my uncle got a copy tape and once kanye start making it my uncle stopped playing. its not in a safty box in storage. kanye will for ever be my favorite producer and overall artist. dont believe the media kanye was probably the dopest person i have ever met.
natural lofi, thats because it wasnt made with 100 plugins in logic and oversaturated with sidechain compression (which many new lofi producers overdo), many new producers try and add artificial dust to their sound with computer programs, back then just sampling into the MPC and recording the mixdown to a cassette gave all the dust you need and sounded natural

So many people seem to be hating on Kanye just because of his political standing. This beat tape is still good regardless of whether or not he supports Trump.
Ajeet Singh so many people seem to be loving kanye just because of his musical talent. his political standing is bullshit regardless of whether or not he makes good music.
@@chabeloesdios I agree but it seems so shallow to dislike his music because of his political standing.
true, but i think it's healthy, from a political point of view, to stop talking about kanye as a demi-god whose comments and stances can be taken lightly. he's shown his open support for a fascist who has harmed thousands of lives already, and will continue to do so. if hip-hop is not your thing, or simply you give a priority to political views rather than professional talent, then it's totally fine to "hate" (i.e. criticise openly) kanye or kim kardashian. kanye is a rich, powerful, influential person, subject to open discussion since he has used his convening power to honour donald effing trump. he's not a victim.
@@chabeloesdios Are you trying to say that I somehow referred to him as a "demi god" because I don't see how you've made such an inference. I understand he should be subject to criticism as especially as a person of influence but I take the view that politics and music (in this context) can be divorced and its therefore unfair to criticise his music because of his politics.
no, that was not my intention at all. sorry for the misunderstanding.
i do believe that politics and art can be divorced, but that's not the case since it was kanye himself who got involved in major league politics. that was the point of my very first reply: it's inaccurate to criticise his musical talent, but it'd be lukewarm -to say the least- not to criticise his political standing. by saying "just because" and "this tape is still good", your first comment _might_ invisiblize the _extremely_ reasonable criticisms against him. (someone might say that by criticising his political views, we invisiblize his musical talent, and they'd be right as well; but also i'd reply that priorities must be set: we've had enough saying about how great he is. how poor a conversation about art is when only aesthetical value judgments are considered! it's ok to talk now about how terribly kanye has used his convening power, among many other interesting discussions).
aside from that, i think we more or less agree on the essentials. cheers.
waitin on him to pin that comment still
@@RhaegonLuv no
For 1997 these beats are fucking FIRE!! Especially since they were never professionally mixed and mastered.
Made a tribute to Kanye on one of em if you don't mind checking it out bro.
FOR 97 THE BEATS ARE FIRE? WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT

How? Just because he says some over the top shit on media doesn’t mean he’s that type of person behind closed doors. Y’all just relying on media to define who he is
Kanyes beats alone tell you a story
matthew mann I don't even rap no more and I'm writing in my head lol
matthew mann he's ok
It's the story about him being fucking trash, at least that's the story I'm getting.

booooooy, you jealous or something? it's actually nice.
I cant stand how a dude who was already making beats like that back in 1997 couldn't being selected as prrsident
nice grammar

@D.S.G Dolo #2 bruh you a virgin
Never ever going to happen
yes, kanye would've gotten us out of the energy crisis by now with his dope beats
It takes alot of commitment and brain power to master the ASR-10 like Kanye did. I believe it was difficult as a middle class, grade A student to make it in the 90's rap-game, or at least get recognised by A/R's as an up and comming artist. In the 00's his career exploded and his name is now known all over the world. All this from hard work combined with faith and passion for what he loved to do. Now he got in the position to make way for new artists, wich he did. Hats off for Kanye I guess. Disrespecting him would be ignorant.
Just that beat switch with the piano in 2:58, is why Kanye is one of the best producers ever
It’s hard to be humble when you make good ass beats like this.
I couldn't name a rapper that pushed himself harder than Kanye did.
Man the only thing that would make this dude better is some sort of gospel album.
Perhaps one that focuses on Jesus.
Perhaps called Jesus is my ruler or perhaps Jesus is king or something
Maybe something like Jesus walks or smtn
yeah i can’t see it being released tho, maybe in like 2019 or something but he’ll probably fall off before that
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man I’m feeling these more than a lot of the stuff he’s put out in his career. Someone needs to lace these tracks with dat fire.
Check out Abstract Mindstate,
Local chicago act from the 90s, he just produced a new album for, they starting to buzz up again. I was just at their npr tiny desk concert the other day, should be releasing soon. New album on all platforms produced by kanye west
Y’all bugging these beats are fire.. especially for 97.. y’all don’t know shit
Facts. These are fire.
Lol what you mean especially for 97..? Hip hop peaked in the 90s
grouchyowl because ye has been doing this since 97 is what he’s saying 🤦🏽♂️
@David Davidson you know daz was killing it in the 90s bro way better than this
HiP hOp PeAkeD iN tHe 90s
This man still liking comments after 5 years 👌🙌
That 1st beat cold
Beat 6 is hot bruv!
He should release an album with these as his instrumentals.
Thats a Ensoniq ASR-10 in the picture if anyone was wondering. Most likely used that for this beat tape or perhaps a Mirage. Doesn't really sound like an MPC
Mpc sounds like whatever you put into it 🤦♂️
@@chadcaravaggio5701 well yeah but they just so different than the asr10. Just like a sp1200 sounds different then both of those samplers
Big Sabbath true, you can hear the general sound if you listen to a lot of Hip Hop. you’re definitely right about this being done on the ASR 10, the sound reminds me of Alchemists early stuff which was made on the ASR 10 too
@@J1mmymadeit sounds like an eps or an sp12.. or an asr set at a low sample rate, like 1400kHz
Chad Caravaggio not necessarily. the MpC has a particular distinctive sound. I can spot it a mile away. Same with sp1200. It’s more than sample rate. Or swing. It’s something about the way the drums hit.
The pinned take is pretty bad, but it ultimately has some truth to it. Before Kanye started "chipmunking" old soul samples he was pretty much only producing for local Chi artists. It's only when he started pitching up soul samples, that he started producing for bigger artists, and as a result Jay Z and the execs at Roc A took notice. If he never started chipmunking soul samples he probably wouldn't have produced The Blueprint, and he never would have dropped TCD (supported by JAY Z's reluctance to have him leave the label after doing so much on The Blueprint) and as a result would have never become the superstar we know him as today. I don't think he would be "working at a car dealership in Chicago" but he would probably be an in-house producer for a small label.
Realistically, Kanye only ever got the chance to rap because he was such a unique producer and Roc A didn't want to lose him. If he wasn't so unique (no chipmunking) he probably wouldn't have been allowed to rap and would had been relegated to a producer and wouldn't have blown up. You have to understand that Kanye didn't appeal to many labels back then. No matter how good he was labels would never sign him as a rapper because he didn't fit the mold of a "hard ghetto rapper" that many labels were after back then. Much in the vain of DMX or Jadakiss (two artists signed around that time.) Roc A didn't want Ye to rap, but they let him out of fear of him leaving.
Either way, I'm glad he made it.
🤡
But it's just speculative, you could also say that in some universe even when he did use the soul samples he didn't blow up.
@@zenscope8090 Or that he blew up later on, though he didn't use the samples, which would make sense considering these beats, which use minimal samples already show insane talent.
You’re right but jada and dmx was never signed to Roc A Fella but X and J was always cool tho

8:30 beat was the sickest!
Nah bro go listen to Kids see ghosts and Ye. Im hyped for yandhi too
He used the beat on the song What You Do To Me by Infamous Syndicate. He got a verse on there as well from 1999. Beat sounds better on here though.
3:26 is the sickest
It's so good!
Picture me rollin’ vibes
First beat always sends chills down my spine
Dilla influence is heavy
Absolutely
a little.

1997 KanYe was 20 years old. These beats are DOOOOOOOOOPE.
Amazing! People be actin like this is easy! Genuine and genius works!
I frequently come back to this masterpiece
You can tell he listened to a lot of J Dilla's around this time... wish he did it more nowadays
Webster Nobertu seen Dillas 1997 batch? Shit mega fire
I politely disagree. Sounds a lot more like the glitzy Bad Boy sound on here to me. And I doubt Kanye was really down with Dilla in 97. I mean all Dilla had was The Pharcyde album, Beats Rhymes and Life, Stakes Is High and a few joints on Busta's debut. He was far from a household name and it'd be a big assumption to assume Kanye had heard of him back then let alone been inspired by him enough to implement those influences into his style.
But it is all subjective of course, I'm not bashing your opinion fam :)
Bruh its obvious that he was influenced by Dilla. You hear that high pitch screech that's coating every track on this bitch right? That's how Dilla added clarity to his tracks. J Dilla could serve a mix like a Beatles engineer.
...............
and Kanye has plenty interviews where he pays homage. Both raised in the Midwest
Not everyone was influenced by dilla ....Musical motifs do not exist in a vacuum
ZebraForceKid ok
I come back here every once in a while and the comments always make me smile
This just makes me feel so bad about my own beat tape xD Nah for real though this is inspiring
what are you talking about your tape is fire 🔥🔥🔥

Damn just realized this was posted on my birthday and in 2016 damnnn bro brings me back
my uncle got a copy tape and once kanye start making it my uncle stopped playing. its not in a safty box in storage. kanye will for ever be my favorite producer and overall artist. dont believe the media kanye was probably the dopest person i have ever met.
is it like an actual tape?
yeah he use to give them out or sell them for 5
so he stopped playing it when kanye was going mainstream??
Yeah, so the tape wouldnt get stuck or damaged in anyway.
White America will never understand Kanye.. bugs me when people just think he's an asshole
Ye' had to be the start of the LoFi Vibe... Classic Tape! 🔥🔥🔊
Terrence Esquire Huggins he really wasn't, that was J Dilla my dude
Definitely J Dilla
yeah and nujabes
Yeah as soon as I posted this up I thought of J. Dilla lmao
YEA Q TIP PUT J ON WHEN HE FIRST MENT THE KID HE SAID HE WAS SHOCK AT HOW MUCH HE SOUND LIKE HIM
has a lo fi feel to it
+Brandon Scott true it was standard a lot hip hop fell these days
It might also have something to do with the equipment yay is using, his engineers are using etc, It still sounds really nice doe.
natural lofi, thats because it wasnt made with 100 plugins in logic and oversaturated with sidechain compression (which many new lofi producers overdo), many new producers try and add artificial dust to their sound with computer programs, back then just sampling into the MPC and recording the mixdown to a cassette gave all the dust you need and sounded natural
Bustelo Brown , this tape wasnt produced on Logic.. and sidechain compression doesnt saturate LMFAO!!
TWENTY take this L for not being a good reader... read my comment a little more carefully
beat 5 than beat 6 just in the sequence made my brain sit in a sofa
