    ua-cam.com/video/fh4CU53LNzA/v-deo.htmlsi=yzBGqHcT1bMkLHi3 Yo, since everyone's here, can y'all check this out? I've been diggin' for samples forever, finding good ones ain't hard for me. But I never used 'em to make my own beats until now. I gotta say, I'm not feelin' the mixing part too much. What you think of this beat? I'm open to any constructive criticism.

      I absolutely agree with this, the only time its annoying is when a producer samples an already popular song from like 30-40 years ago, and the audience acts like the original song's only merit in existence is that it was later sampled. Like when Billy Joel refused to allow kanye to sanple "movin out" for "Mama's Boyfriend" and people started saying the original song sucked, or that "Mama's Boyfriend better"

    i like how this song is from a Christian album from a Pentecost, someone from MY DENOMINATION in Christianity, and the Alchemist flipped it and made it sound like if you were sentenced to eternal damnation in the afterlife. plus the fact that almost nobody couldn't find this sample almost anywhere on the internet solidifies on how ridiculous this sample flip was. after watching this, now i get why a lot of people consider this as the greatest diss beat of all time.

      I take the use of this sample as a way to elevate Kendrick's position as a judge over Drake's soul. "I Want To Make It" is likely in reference to making it into heaven, and that's where Drake likely believes he'll end up, either literally or metaphorically. That is, until Kendrick is there waiting at the gates with a list of all of Drake's sins before he's damned to a hell of his own making.

    really nice track. i love the way the intro keeps returning throughout the song. i disagree with people claiming this is scarier than MTG, though. it's more morose and dramatic, and because the track places itself in a full context with various shifts in tone, it tells too much of its own narrative to give you that "eerie" feeling.
    the way alchemist worked here is excellent--he picked out just what he needed by severing the right notes from their original context and reanimating them back together in a way that feels so terribly wrong. the unwavering repetition feels like a skipping record that won't stop replaying the same offputting sequence. in these ways, the very act of chopping this sample up feels like its own form of horror-movie violence.

It can FEEL HEAVEN, it’s RIGHT THERE, BRUSHING AGAINST ITS FINGERTIPS, but try as it might, it can’t make it. Of course, that’s where Jesus comes in. But Drake? He’s forsaken Jesus and what’s right. So he’s always reaching, always striving, always yearning, but its never enough, never going to get him fulfillment and salvation, the stuff he truly desires even if he doesn’t realize it…
