Underrated comment 😭
Bruh
Then they build a freaking pyramid by the mud
lmfao this is theb estone
"The bass, that's from Memphis too."
hahahaha
The hi-hats are from Memphis too
The brass from Memphis too
Snares and claps are from Memphis too
The Basic ass Kick that’s From Memphis too🗿

YungEast bruh😂
YungEast “I got my own sound”
if it aint broke dont fix it dude
straight up man literaly anyone that makes beats has those sounds
We all do
Bruh at 4:14 I didn’t read the whole text thing in the bottom and I thought they was boutta say tay Keith is set to graduate from middle school 💀💀
Degree in media management
😂😂😂😂
my mans:
-using the most simple hi-hats, makes em super loud and calls em signature
-using the spinz 808 and calls it memphis sound
-using open hihats as a signature sound
-*acting like he knows how to solve world hunger*
😂😂😂
benedictgas That ain’t the spinz tho
Or at least I don’t think
that aint spinz
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
tuff
"one sound im not gon play by itself cuz it's my signature sound" .................. *finds sound instantly in first generic trap kit I open*
Which kit?
Patrik Ortstam ^

@@patrikortstam7163 it sounds like a kill bill siren with effects prolly like gross beat or effectrix im prolly wrong tho idk
Nico Rush you tell me
"Loud hi hats is my original sound, that's how you know it's MY sound"
BOOYYYYY!!!
Blue Nova lol
Lmao
😂
I have my hats loud as hell...😂😂😂😂
LOL thinking the same thing
this dude called an open hat a "tsss"😂😂😂
yeah he's a bit slow lol
Ik wtf shouldent a producer know the most simple terms
Exactly. People who actually spend time to learn and work to backup their work are the people who should be getting recognised. Those who take this seriously and want to actually have the knowledge behind what their producing.
He has several top charting songs, how many do you have ?
Prod. Hxrford why? So if I make a song with just vocals and a beating the Congos .... I shouldn’t be recognized because I don’t know the term of the notes I’m singing ? 😂😂😂
This is exactly why “creatives” stay broke as $h!+......: stupidest approach ..... music like every other skill is a PRACTICE .......
Work with what you have...:.:
Bruh everything comes from Memphis,
I think fl studio came from Memphis too
Barney Coleman “I make music, music originally comes from Memphis too”
Felix Barlow nah he doesn’t make music he makes mursic 💀
@@lilbroomstick538 mursic is also from Memphis
Everything comes from memphis
Yall funny as shit I'm not even joking
The Tay Keith drinking game. Take a shot every time he says "Memphis"
the hats that goes tsss also called open hats lmao
Hahaha Lol
Imagine being a producer and not knowing what an open hat is lmao
I just imagine Tay and Drake laughing at the comments while they count their millions
Nujaboy you think he made millions off this..... you trippin
No I don't, but he definitely will be if he carries on putting tracks like this out
"the loud hi hats make my signature sound"
BRUH
Ppl tryna trademark everything lmao
yo my signature sound is using gross beat lmao
My signature is using a computer to make music
My signature sound is 808s.
XD
“There’s one sound I won’t let y’all hear cuz its my signature sound”
Genius- plays sound anyway in another clip
He said he's not gonna play it alone 🤦♂️
@@caesar690 That Sound Is In Every Trap Drum Kit
@@ayotwisted I never said that it wasn't in every trap kit? I said that this guy, Christopher didn't get what he was saying.
“If you hear them high hats you know it’s my beat” every trap beat has high hats😂
Then that it means Tay Keith has produced every Trap beat ever created
“High hats” 🤣
bAsiacally every song ever
@@assumingtrash6853 everyone knows it's Hi-Hats
He meant "Loud high hats"
MURSIC
HolidayKirk i thought i was the only one that caught that
That's that southern country talk. U dont know nun bout that
thats how us Memphis niggas talk
Kenneth Dickerson moneybagg yo in particular
MERLODY
This video should have been 50 seconds
JOONV fact 😂😂
JOONV xddd
JOONV hush and enjoy the content
2:02 "Melondy?"
Yeah, I mean, you always gotta make sure you have a strong melondy in your mursic. It's just common knowledge.
TheAndrewj96 don’t forget da murrrrsic
So that’s what I’ve been doing wrong 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You did him dirty 😂😂😂😂
REECO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"When artist wanna come to me..."
I give them the most generic trap beat ever
Bruh he's more expert than you tho in the business and generic trap music makes it catchier and easier for the Artist to rap on
Let’s hear ur beats rn bro. Salty ass “producer”
@@jakebrown1535 he's got a point, it's so generic
@@pedrocostas5081 generic now because every producer is hopping on the piano trend. It was hard asf in 2018. Simplicity is key
@@jakebrown1535 mfs hate because they aint got placements 🤣
Trap hi-hats aren’t anybody’s signature sound....
He's taking about the riser
tukieful fr tho
he's talking about the volume level of the hihats. Usually trap producers keep their hats low in the mix, but he doesn't. Not that i agree with him. What he said was judt dumb😂
the ONLY producer/group I'd say has a signature hi hat sound is 808 Mafia/Southside
it's blatant when you hear a Southside beat how overly loud/distorted and left panned the hi hats are
just listen to Perkys Calling
Rex Mini A Lot of producers do have their hi hats very low
I swear if astroworld doesn't drop tonight I'm gonna
Patiently wait until next week
Like we sadly have been doing smhh
Jelani P henythings possible
Jelani P This is what I have been doing since it’s announcement... leaked date after leaked date... 😞
someone steal that nigga flash drive-
Its gonna come out in july if this summer. If not, wait for fuckin fall lmao
That basic ass hi hat roll isn't your signature
lol
yeah, i put the volumen up on the serum init preset so that's my signature sound
That hi hat from Memphis 😁
If you hear melody you know that's my beat dude
It could be actually, if you just sit down and create something different
man added open hi-hats to a beat acting like he discovered who God is.
The making of Lil Mosey’s “Pull Up” With Producer Black Mayo... Black Mayo said he’s waiting for genius to reach out to him and he’ll do it. Blow this comment up
PULL UP AND WET THE BAR
Andrei Galita the block
bruh yes this needa happen
Danny Beatz hell yes bro that would be fire
Andrei Galita lol
0:10 "They want some shit they can get from me, they can't get from nobody else."
*Proceeds to show us a beat they could've got from literally any trap producer.
any home producer could've made something just as good if not better, with a good mix even, there's nothing special about this beat lmao why he acting all high and mighty
Yeah but did anybody else made it?
You're right, I'm sorry.
The Tillman Review there are so many producers that just need connections and you’d see how not good tay keith is
I literally made this beat for a school project with no producing experience and it sounds exactly the same
"Most producers don't have they hi hats loud" Anytime someone's blasting music through their headphones all I hear is the hi hats.....
Mailbox That’s because hi hats are high frequencies.. he’s right
they dont have it as loud as him but the hi hat you can hear cs its high end sounds
High end frequencies can bleed out of headphones much easier than lower frequencies, due to them having a shorter length of oscillation.
3:13 dang I admit all my beats are actually Tay Keiths I stole them
lmao
"They want some shit they can get from me they can't get from nobody else"
*Proceeds to use a nexus preset*
Niggas mad a producer made the simplest beat into a mega hit while you cant even make a hit with a beat you make for days💀💀
facts
Cause we don't have Drake at our disposal?...
1:11 "murrzik" he Memphis foreal
WE NEED MAALY RAW
Factsss
Or Pierre Bourne
Beats by JK Yessssss
Maaly with the clique by skies
We need a behind the beat for “Shoota” deadass
“The last sound I did was the hats, like the regular, like the ‘TSSSS’”
Ummm normally we call that an open hi-hat, mr. producer.
Ok
😂😂
Ummmm don’t care + everyone knows what he means and it sounds good.
This man has the strongest Memphis accent ive ever heard
wonder why
Yo I wanna point out that he deserves props for mentioning that he's in school. Not enough people promote using your knowledge and trying to learn more. People think dropping out of school THE only way to go but you can go to school and still live the life of an artist. Break the mold
“i ain’t gonna play this sound bc it’s my signature sound” just look up tay keith trans fx lmaooo
Riley Gonynor snitch
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
9God lmfao
still can't find it :/
"I wear shoes when I make beats, that's how you know it's MY sound"
Shout out to myurzik
Dogg i was dying the first time i heard someone saying that shit and then i found out it’s a Memphis thing. They all say murzik lool.
Tay Keith seems really humble. Talking about giving back to the community even after going double platinum. Respect.
do the beat for Infinity (888) by X and Joey Bada$$ prod by P Soul
Kei P. Soul made that beat, not J dilla 🤦🏾♂️
"Murrrsic"
lil EMO 😂
Memphis talk
Brass
Wait, did he even talk about putting in the snares
This guy dont even do anything special but thinks he is hella different lmao
This comment ain’t age well
@@brysolan44 how
He really versatile now
literally nonstop and look alive sound the damn same
mrcamera8 and rover
mrcamera8 and all of them are produced by Tay Keith, coincidence?
Are you deaf? How the fuck do non stop and this sound alike? Non stop has no piano, no brass, it’s basically just deep bass, with no melody except for the vocal sample.
Emily Owens it's the drum pattern that is VERY similiar
YUNG RESTAAR That doesn’t make the entire song sound the same, shit ton of songs have very similar drum patterns to one another, especially in the beats dropping nowadays.
i know im not the only one that caught those off tempo kicks at 4:44
He made it intentionally
J Dilla used to do that
thats a thing . its a swing
We all can admit the beat is simple but kinda fire
Dai's the name I’m saying
The originator of the hihat.. salute
I swear Tay Keith’s tag has to be one of the best in hiphop!
truth
Ever heard of "Run dat back turbo"?
That’s a fact.
Ever heard " if young metro don't trust you I'm gonna shoot you"
do infinity 888 by joey bada$$ and XXXTentacion
Nah it's dope
Its a type beat from yt
whats the name of the type beat? Do you know?
Rayan Nami no but Joey said It in a interview with genius
August Wessel Thanks Vro.
First thang first...Start out wit da ‘melondy’.
So proud of my boy Taykeith you’ve came a long way bruh just in the 2 years of me knowing you. You putting our city back on the map. 🙌🏽
why am i bumping my head to open hats lol
bruh thats the producer thing, we bump our heads to everything idk why, even if its like the most simple thing when its in fl studio it be the catchiest thing ever
Tss
@@Rei-xz2uk Straight facts lmao
Cant wait for Tay K to be on XXL 2056
Lenny 😂😂

Lmfao
People are weird. It's not a beat battle, the best beats are the ones that the artiste hears and instantly knows what they're going to say.
It should be "simple".
Why is this dude getting so much hate. Not every song needs a super complex beat.
The fact that he acts like its so signature and great
@@thijnhogendoorn6598 it is great , thas why he has more money then your whole family combined
@@ayocjdidthat goofy ahh jit 💀💀
@@prodbyseth_00 go away bruh 😭
@@ayocjdidthat why are you flexing someone elses money
just imagine being the guy who sits next to him in class and just not know who he is lmao
it's not the beat what made the song it was drake honestly
Guy Levy I disagree totally. Beat is hard as fuk
lmaoo no as a producer this beat is your most basic and easiest fucking beat u can ever make, give u less than a day u can make the same thing as him lol, signature sound my ass
Tim Sim fax
what if i told you more complicated beats do not necessarily mean better beats
Guy Levy how about *BOTH?*
That hi-hat pattern is literally the first pattern anyone makes
This is an example of SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE
Not really mane
All tay Keith’s beats sound the same. Same hihat patterns, kick patterns, snare patterns, 808 patterns. He’s overrated
RickyGoreMusic fax
RickyGoreMusic He’s super simple man
That's what I'm saying
Jep
Ikr
Drake always putting someone on man!!!!!
Tay Keith been on
2kgod Jr Maybe locally but Drake elevated him and Blockboy, they've both said it themselves
Drake is a penis
All these guys beats sound the same but they think it sound different. Wow what a weird world we live in
So simple but cold man.. Gotta stop overthinking my beats.. Like they say all you need is vocals sometimes
The fact that this was technically a DRAKE TYPE BEAT since he made it in a pack for him makes it way funnier LMFAOO
Immediately I saw Tay Keith also produced "nonstop" I knew he was a force to be reckoned with
The way he says "muuusic" is like music to my ears
I’m from Memphis and I lived there for YEARS and only recently moved away but I loveeee the beats that tay makes
"When you hear hi hats you know its my beat" 😂😂😂
The producer community salty geez it’s just music
Well, if you think about it, he's taking someone else's Fame and success when they deserve it more. I've heard tons of amazing producers, and they're not famous. Think about it.
*mursic
They salty cuz he acting like he is a god and he aint that good
Yea bro it’s just the thing we deadicate our lives too, sum light...
@@alexlevesque7234 wow
Much respect. Tay Keith reminded me of myself when he whipped out that Nexus. I saw the same selection of piano instruments I put in my tracks.
you are amazing keep work like this ,,
mann i can't hate because i been using FL since it was on a compact Presario desktop, lol but These beats be sounding straight factory., Nexus??? wow. I feel like i might as well take it back to the old way. He aint use no midi controller, nothing. Literally clickin and drag all of it...
We trying TOO HARD
Fame Bound I’m in the compact presario club too!! Waiting another couple yrs b4 I cut it back on and see what classics are inside.
Very chill and humble guy i like him 🔥🙏🏻
Lol he’s full of himself
Keep doing ya thang young boy! Memphis TN! All day!
He makes the most simple beats
And at the same time the most dope beats
I like my hi hats louds.. that's my signature sound. When you hear dem hats thats when you gonna know it's my beat.. 🤣🤣🤣
Salute🔥
Love it how he says music. Absolute idol
Really glad I took that active recovery day yesterday ..👨🍳❄❄
It's very rejuvenating.
99% negative(but honestly true) comments vs 98% positive valuations. Yep , ... there definetly nothing is rigged
I don‘t wanna offend him, but this beat so simple, an Fl studio beginner could do that😄
So why disnt you didnt do it then if its so easy
@@alboblack9209Yea your a real weirdo Im not the one hating on another man success and liking my own comments
Wrong 2
its legit easy af.. Most ;long time FL users will say that, I got beats on CD's from 2007 more complex. We be needing some young chick around when we making a beat, so they can tell us to "stop there" when that shit sound mad incomplete.
They be having the best ears for hits lol
But why doesnt drake produce any tracks with you
I hear that transition and I'm like "Yup, Tay Keith." 😂🔥🚒
BRILLIANT!
This gave me hope for becoming a successful producer. Shout out to K, props on making that beat. Remember yall K.I.S.S.
Its about the rhythm and the drums the melody can be simple and be good still... it's not just about simplicity it's about the bounce
u have no idea what "bounce" is little guy you are just repeating words you heard from someone else lolll
Ain't nothin like a Memphis trap beats...that piano/organ & bass.💃
This is beautiful mursic😭😭
These simple beats are the wave now 🔥🔥
facts
For the worst
If this doesnt show you that anyone can make it i dont know what will💀
such a good beat this one 🔥🔥
This deconstruction made me realize why I like those piano chords in this track so much.. reminds me of the creepy music that plays when you're walking into one of King Koopa's rooms in Super Mario
Congrats to his career and endeavor!
