Mike Dean and Ye are my favourite combo. They're great together, and I think they fill in the gap for each other. Mike Dean's guitar solo on Devil in a New Dress is
On god. Him and a few other greats of the modern rap period, Young Chip, Zaytiven, Metro and Working in Dying really dine a lot for rap but don't get enough credit
Mike Dean’s synth outro on “Sweet Sweet” is unbelievable. Hold My Liquor is a major defining moment of his career. My favorite more subtle Mike Dean moment are the synths that pop in at the very end of Stargazing.
Mike Dean is the man behind one of the greatest star in the music industry right now, he literally shaped Travis Scott's sound and 90% of his fans don't even know who Dean is. What a fucking legend
Mike Dean is probably my favorite person in all of music. I really like how you mentioned how the producer is often an extension of the artist, that’s really true for Mike Dean and Kanye/Travis, unreal chemistry.
@@per_petual1453 oh really? There's been whole ass documentaries about Def Jam and how important Rick was on the music side while Russell Simmons was more business-minded. Stop the cap. Anybody who actually knows hip hop and the culture knows about Rick Rubin and his crucial involvement in the caveman days of hip hop.
I've been on Mike Dean since Scarface's The Untouchable album (1997), which is in my opinion the greatest rap album of all time. My favorite Mike Dean tracks are probably Sex Faces by Scarface feat. Too Short and Devin the Dude, In My Blood off of Scarface's My Homies compilation album, and Smile by Scarface feat. 2pac
Dean did a lot of Scarface and rap a lot classics before untouchable like The Diary another Face classic if I’m not mistaken he was rap a lot in-house producer
Ive seen him live as an opening act, it was so loud that i left and waited outside the stadium it was unenjoyable, disgustingly loud my ears hurt so bad
I appreciate the history you have provided It’s so crazy to see how small this world is Never knew mike dean was in collaboration with Selena... it’s amazing
I ain’t gonna lie mike dean the reason why I got into mixing and mastering music ever since astroworld dropped I had to learn mixing and mastering just to figure out the fundamentals but if y’all need a engineer hmu
Truth. Shout-out drain gang for helping revolutionize modern rap while also giving hip hop a larger international appeal. Early 2010s was a golden age for synth based rap (big shouts to lil b, asap rocky, and clams casino as well)
He has been working with Madonna since 2015. Rebel heart album done by Mike Dean and Avicii is amazing (2015) He also worked with Madonna in her recent album (Mademe X 2019)
Hit-boy collaborating with Nas and big Sean was the best artist collab that has happened in the past 2 years. Also DJ drama and Tyler the creator was great as well. I'm talking about a collaboration for the whole album not just a track or two. These producers shaped the entire album of these artists and brought a new sound by using vintage/old sounds & samples.
Lol That isn’t a guitar. It’s a distorted synth. I take it you don’t play guitar, because even if it was a guitar riff, it’s really nothing special at all
You might find his interview with Fantano interesting if you haven’t seen it. It’s dry, but Anthony does actually get him to talk a lot which is rare lol
1:12 I’m pretty sure UGK is from Port Arthur TX not Port Dover. Many times I’ve heard UGK say Port Arthur or P.A. In their raps but never once say Port Dover. Is there even a Port Dover TX?
Not even in for 1 minute and already found some wrong facts: 1. UGK comes from Port Arthur, not Port Dover… 2. Mike Dean never worked with Gang Starr. He only recorded Scarface's vocals for the song that featured him on "Betrayal"
Mike Dean and Ye are my favourite combo. They're great together, and I think they fill in the gap for each other. Mike Dean's guitar solo on Devil in a New Dress is
Woah I didn’t know he played that
@@noahgarrett5195 yea he did a lot of work on mbdtf
Travis Scott and Mike Dean🤝🏾
Wrong there's no gap in Kanye's music
@@AdityaRoxbecauseimbatman youre just supporting his statement, mike deans parts help the music feel complete
producers don’t and will never get enough credit. people just don’t understand how music is made
On god. Him and a few other greats of the modern rap period, Young Chip, Zaytiven, Metro and Working in Dying really dine a lot for rap but don't get enough credit
Seriously. They are the true artist!!!
Good thing they don’t do it for credit
Even then it's more about whoever is singing the song than the music itself
Mike Dean an absolute cult hero. Also his meme game was crazy during Donda LMAO. Loved learning some more about him. Can't wait for your next video
Hes overrated af
he wore shirts with donda memes at a livestream the other day.
@@ihelpyouwitheverything4720 no
Nice pfp 😏 got it tatted on my arm
Mike Dean’s synth outro on “Sweet Sweet” is unbelievable. Hold My Liquor is a major defining moment of his career. My favorite more subtle Mike Dean moment are the synths that pop in at the very end of Stargazing.
He's outro on kanyes New Slaves was godly
@@ghennifergrievous9463 ye but thats just sampled off Gyöngyhajú Iány from omega
Hold My Liquor was not produced by Mike Dean.
@@xrayvisi0ns Lmao that's just false literally look at the album production credits. He's the lead producer on that song
I really loved sweet sweet as well, underrated song and Mike Dean outro
Mike Dean could literally be my dad and is still modernizing music
He's a living legend, man.
He is as old as my dad
He's one year older than my dad 😐
@@808mike he’s 15 years older than my dad lmao I’m 23
Same
Mike Dean is the man behind one of the greatest star in the music industry right now, he literally shaped Travis Scott's sound and 90% of his fans don't even know who Dean is. What a fucking legend
Mike Dean playing with Selena is whole other level of legend
I agree completely, that just puts him on a different planet.
Facts bro
I always wanted to know more about Mike. This man is on another level
Mike Dean is a legend, I'm glad he's starting to get the appreciation he deserves 💯🔥🔥
mid 2010’s Future & Metro Boomin. THEY WERE FUCKIN UNSTOPPABLE.
Yeah 2014-2016
future and metro kept hip hop alive during that era
Savage x Metro 🔥
Mike Dean is probably my favorite person in all of music. I really like how you mentioned how the producer is often an extension of the artist, that’s really true for Mike Dean and Kanye/Travis, unreal chemistry.
Alchemist and his guests are all good combos in the underground
MF DOOM and Madlib is arguably one of the best duos
MF DOOM & MADLIB, Gibbs & Madlib, Cudi and Ye, Ye and Pusha. So many iconic duos
2004 DOOM and Lib were peak of their careers frrr
Hell yeah
FRFR
I think solo doom is better than madvillain. Born like this is underrated beyond belief
I grew up with Mike and used to watch his band practice in his moms garage and living room. Believe it or not, he was metal back then.
damn
Mike Dean is an icon.. not only as a producer, but as an artist.. His synth/instrumental music is top notch
Mike Dean is one of the most underrated producers of all time same as Rick Rubin but also do you know who else is under rated converse with me
Rick rubin isn’t underrated at all.... literally started def jam and helped make hip hop commercially acceptable across masses of people
@@leonsmith5525 and he still doesnt get the credit he deserves. definitely underrated
Stfu, underappreciated is the word
He is not underrated at all

If you're into em, you should do a video on Injury Reserve
This man is a living legend.
i cannot thank mike enough for helping travis, hes one of my favorite artists
Ive seen him live as an opening act, it was so loud that i left and waited outside the stadium it was unenjoyable, disgustingly loud my ears hurt so bad
I love you videos man keep it coming.
absolute legend
best producer x artist combo has to be madlib and MF DOOM
And the guitar solos, cant forget the guitar solos
It’s amazing that he is probably the best producer and barely anyone outside of hiphopheads know who he is
I appreciate the history you have provided
It’s so crazy to see how small this world is
Never knew mike dean was in collaboration with Selena... it’s amazing
Highway patrol 🔥🔥🔥
Mike Dean is a living legend
Mike dean being with Selena is such an amazing fact
I ain’t gonna lie mike dean the reason why I got into mixing and mastering music ever since astroworld dropped I had to learn mixing and mastering just to figure out the fundamentals but if y’all need a engineer hmu
His work alone with Scarface is classics
Iconic sounds producer are vital ✌🏼🌻
Praise the synth God. So many incredible sonic experiences delivered through Mike Dean.
Great video brother.
Nice ‘Come To Life’ mention at the end
the best combo in my opinion is:
Artists: Travis Scott, Don Toliver
Producers: Mike Dean, Wonagurl, OZ
METROOOO
I love wondagurl
fav will always be power
Wow. Learn something new every day.👍🏿 I have seen him over the years in group pics but didn't know what his role was. Kudos
Mike Dean forever goat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐
Juice and Nick is goated
I am so glad you did a video about mike dean for years I always here his name but never knew really who he was 🔥🔥🔥great video
gr8 video, and thoughts. love it man. keep on
Love these videos, thanks man!
Good video man!
Metal FIngers and Metal Face are my favorite writer/producer combo
Fav combo gotta be Bladee and Whitearmour. Bros invented a whole genre
Truth. Shout-out drain gang for helping revolutionize modern rap while also giving hip hop a larger international appeal. Early 2010s was a golden age for synth based rap (big shouts to lil b, asap rocky, and clams casino as well)
He’s definitely one of my biggest inspirations
He has been working with Madonna since 2015. Rebel heart album done by Mike Dean and Avicii is amazing (2015) He also worked with Madonna in her recent album (Mademe X 2019)
Mike dean been in a legend
Hit-boy collaborating with Nas and big Sean was the best artist collab that has happened in the past 2 years. Also DJ drama and Tyler the creator was great as well.

Mike dean is that nigga. Any album with his credits should get an automatic spin atleast once.
Great job bro!!!!
Joey Bada$$ with knxwledge prod goes hard
really didn't talk about his synth work at all lmao
That guitar outro he did on sweet sweet something else
Lol That isn’t a guitar. It’s a distorted synth. I take it you don’t play guitar, because even if it was a guitar riff, it’s really nothing special at all
appreciate you bringing up selena, most people skip that part
Really sucks how producers are overlooked. A rapper without good production is just a poet speaking (and not being heard)
Synth God indeed!!
I knew like 90% of this but wtf how did I miss that he was in the Selena band?
You might find his interview with Fantano interesting if you haven’t seen it. It’s dry, but Anthony does actually get him to talk a lot which is rare lol
fire vid keep it up!
Grande Falcón
1:12 I’m pretty sure UGK is from Port Arthur TX not Port Dover. Many times I’ve heard UGK say Port Arthur or P.A. In their raps but never once say Port Dover. Is there even a Port Dover TX?
Mike Dean and Travis is imo the best combo for getting insane beats, like just look at rodeo. Mike Dean and Travis cooked
RELLY NICE VIDEO BRUH
sorry i was shoutin´
Mike GOAT 🐐
UGK is from Port Arther not Dover. That basic information
Mike With Attitude.
I’m so greatful for Mike dean
thought he was black for yrs
mike dean helped Dermot Kennedy find his sound too, fella is becoming huge in the UK and in the states
Speaking of southern hip hop, Andre 3K/OutKast video ?
It's Port Arthur Tx where UGK is from. Not Port Dover.
This was such a good short biography vid nice
*1:01** UGK SUMTHIN GOOD*
so close to 10k!
mike and travis on god synth
I see Mike Dean like Pino Palladino
Em and Dre 🤝
Life Behind The Walls with Kurupt
That's a banger ..
Please what’s the name of the song on 5:45?
PORT DOVER?!!!? Don’t disrespect PORT ARTHUR LIKE THAT!
Great video. My favorite would have to be Dr. Dre and Tupac.
Good video, though you could have talked about his solo work too
Please make a video essay on Nas🙏, love your videos btw👌
Kenny Beats and Zach Fox goated
Alchemist and Boldy James
420 Album and his Grandmother synth
UGK is from Port Arthur Texas not Port Dover. Where ever that is. Lol
