    I've always been curious if somebody (from Drake's team?) put a limit on how many tags Conductor could use OR if it was an artistic choice.... There's significantly less than usual.

    • @ConductorWilliams
      @ConductorWilliams  11 місяців тому +1184

      Nah- the tag didn’t feel good on either one of them records. Every time I let it run I felt like it was taking away from the moment. Drake gave me 100% creative control beat wise.

      Lowkey I fw just the “Conductor” tag for those two songs. When it’s Griselda the full tag fits more I don’t even know if that makes sense but it does 😂

  • @yerknvl
    @yerknvl 7 місяців тому +9

    This is easily one of the best drake songs over one of his best selection of beats. I listened to this song 10+ times on the way home from work and it’s just something about this song that really gets to me. Not even trying to be emotional and both of my older brothers are still alive so it’s not even anything like that. This song is called stories about my brother but the beat sounds like my grandfather. Jazzy, soulful. kinda how I imagine late night tv shows all sounded in the 40s, 50s, 60s. Idk man I could write a small essay about this song. Thank you for making this video and salute for giving the most high his credit! Assalamu Alaikum 🤝🏾

Taking inspiration and a style of art and transcribing it through music. I’ve never heard anyone else talk like that. It’s like you went into my head and took my thoughts! I appreciate you doing these videos. Hopefully one day we’ll cook something up on the same album. Peace!
