It is _the_ fan made music video. I was so excited when he said he was going to talk about a Kendrick song most have never even heard, but then he said Cartoons and Cereal and I was like "I just played that yesterday😂" Probably the reason this video popped up in my feed
Such a good fuckin' song; one of my favorites released in the last 15 years easy. I have to space it out so I do NOT overplay it like my own personal radio hell.
Wow, I've had that same snare problem in a sample. I was able to cut it out and place basically mini cuts in its place, but it never came out like i really wanted it to. So, with this technique for Cartoons, I'ma have to revisit it haha. Thanks, Navie, as usual!
@@NavieDstep splitting? perhaps you meant stem? If so, yeah, I haven't tried that yet.. lol I'm iffy on using any ai stuff.. I may at some point, though. cheers!
WILEEEE COYTE WILEEEEE COYOOOTEE, i remember when i first discovered this song and i agree with the statement in the beginning "people who've heard it all agree it was better than goodkid" i never knew it was that rare
Yep. How I see it, many folk who were huge fans of Kendrick sort of grew apart from his music, and there's a bunch of new artists that spawned from Damn and Mr Morale
I've definitely heard this one many times and it has always had a special place in my heart. I also really enjoyed The Spiteful Chant which I think also ended up having sample clearance problems iirc. Anyway, thanks so much for doing a deep dive on the production for this! ❤
Guarantee if you from Cali you know this .. was playing way back in high school born 95 this one of TDE best songs from that ERA along with Blessed and Say Wassup
@beners blessed is crazyyy good lotta people forget about it and what pisses me off is that there are some songs from that Q album on spotify but not blessed? Wtf!?
I heard Cartoons and Cereal many years ago and it was by far one of my favorite songs by him. In fact, I think I heard it when I was first learning about his music. I love how you break all the elements down to a science. Makes me appreciate the song and his music even more!
I always loved this song, cause I had it when downloading music was still a thing, but the last couple years when I started using spotify, I almost completely forgot this song. You just brought it back to me, and this is insane.
That sample at 4:48 is also used recently in Trae tha truth - Sware I'm . Love that sample it's exactly like you said very melancholic puts me in a whole vibe!
I didn't know about this song until today. It's still not my favourite Kendrick cut, but I can definitely appreciate the inventive production. It's a shame that the original artist wouldn't clear this song for him.
Bombay used this same sample for Blu - The Return a couple of years later. It's amazing how whole ideas, concepts and songs can come from such a short snippet.
never in my life would i have thought that i could be on the part of youtube where i discover karim benzema breaking down music production, but here i am, good video
I remember when this song dropped. It was like an atomic bomb in my playlist lmao. On REPEAT. Such an incredible track. What a great breakdown too. Would've never imagined the sample was from that source.
My man love the video. Could you do something similar for my favorite Kid Cudi song which was also never released? Do it Alone - Kid Cudi. Much love and respect for what you do. 🔥
I remember hearing this song on a fan made video about 10 years ago. Listened to it a bunch since then but I knew Kendrick was gonna be huge. Does anyone know anything about a Tupac Joint ft. Kendrick or Picture Me Rollin’ ft. Kendrick? Are they both fan made?
this song definetly on you tube him and gun play i love diffrent thats what i strive too do out the box i no it word 4 word i think g play spit the best verse of his career
@@NavieD thats crazy im a dj not really a song spin i no how too get good copy dj jazzy mitch he has every song ever made lol this guy runs his entire house wifi on 3g phone
I still remember when I first heard this song back in the day. I downloaded it on my PSP and listened to it over and over and over, still hits to this day!
huh, once I realized this was about Cartoons and Cereal I figured this was just gonna be "sample didn't clear", which is the case lol, but it was really dope seeing the recreation of the beat and going in-depth on how the sample was used. cool video
As soon as you first said the words “cartoons and cereal” I liked the video. It’s my favourite Kendrick song and so many people don’t know about it I also agree that if this song properly got put out there, it would be on top for real
Yo, that music video with bugs bunny and coyote on the thumbnail was the first time I listened to that song... eleven years ago. Still listening to this day. And I'm from Brazil.
@@Kanyewestbiggestfan123 yeah better to not know about it and not have it be officially released than the other way around.. crazy as it is I think it slots in perfectly as a MMATBS closer (as much as I like Mirrors).
Damn I remember this song, I heard it so long ago before I even knew who kendrick was. I've heard it several times since, but never new the same and couldnt find it anywhere. So thank you for the name.
I have most definitely heard the song and Gunplay lyrics are his best I've heard from him when I realized it was him I was so happy that he was on the track he really out did himself
Having Cartoons and Cereal as the opening track would have just added and made it even better. It would be cohesive to the story too but there obviously would be a time jump from this to Sherane storyline. But it would have been one of the best intros to an already GOAT hip hop album!
the way you broke this down was incredibly...neutral? not FLAT per se, you did show some preference or lack thereof for aspects of the beat but it was like a doctor explaining to me why my stomach was hurting on a molecular level i genuinely mean that as a compliment, it was very relaxing and it's nice to have someone breaking down a song stem-by-stem that isn't doing so in an over-the-top way. also i'm wicked stoned so that helped but still lol this was fantastic, subscriiiiiibed
Man from the moment I heard the song at 13 I knew it’d never be big but it’s be that song with a cult following for it’s under appreciation. I knew I couldn’t be the only one who thought it was special I’m glad we all experienced it together 💪🏽💪🏽
The fan made music video is incredible
It is _the_ fan made music video. I was so excited when he said he was going to talk about a Kendrick song most have never even heard, but then he said Cartoons and Cereal and I was like "I just played that yesterday😂"
Probably the reason this video popped up in my feed
To me thats the official release
lol it’s dope. I like the looney tunes clips. Not sure if an official version could clear that. On the other hand it gave me a seizure😅
@@kEaNeKlEiBeR prolly still worth it tho lets be real XD
@@BuzzedNinja12 haha… i mean I’ll take it
There is a really low quality version of it on Spotify under the name “cartoon”
Yeah I saw that. It sounds like real crud.
tyler pfp, "kanyewestbiggestfan123", "kendrick lanar" lmao
Yeah but the quality low af😂still, I have it on my Playlist🤷🏽that's just how good the song is haha
Shhh - we need this to stay slept on so they dont try 2 monetize it
I was gonna comment I know I’ve heard it on Spotify before but I actually took it off my playlists bc the sound quality made it unbearable 😢
Still bump to this day. “Mama how much trauma can I sustain” feel gunplays pain in the verse
that line is so damn cold. sometimes i think i listen to the song just for the ending of plays verse
One of the greatest verses of all time
Such a good fuckin' song; one of my favorites released in the last 15 years easy. I have to space it out so I do NOT overplay it like my own personal radio hell.
I don't think gunplay could.ever top that verse he did on this song
dirty money come with lots of stains
One of my favourite rap songs of all time genuinely. Didn't realise it was so rare
It sucks that it's not on Spotify or anything
@@NavieD I have it on my phone still because I have my music collection from the piracy days on my Samsung
Full agree, that’s one of my fav songs
UA-cam music comes in clutch
@@josephsua7246torrents still exist. Nothing is hard to find.

Well, nowadays you can just use step splitting to get rid of the drums completely!
@@NavieDstep splitting? perhaps you meant stem? If so, yeah, I haven't tried that yet.. lol I'm iffy on using any ai stuff.. I may at some point, though. cheers!
@@MvnStnmight as well get ahead of it. It’s boutta take over 🤷🏻♂️
@@ProdZookacertainly looks that way!
No AI and stuff needed? It is literally a default thing you can do in the latest FL @@MvnStn
WILEEEE COYTE WILEEEEE COYOOOTEE, i remember when i first discovered this song and i agree with the statement in the beginning "people who've heard it all agree it was better than goodkid" i never knew it was that rare
I think it's just one of those songs you had to be there. All the mixtape people know bout this song 🤣
damn benzema knows his shit
😂😂😂😂
Bro
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Comment be underrated 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 benzema
FINALLY someone broke this down, one of my fave kendrick songs of all time! Great video 💯
Yeah I have always wanted to know wtf is going in kkkkki😊
I like Blessed and Birdz and the Be oh wrong artist 😂
MAX B - ALL MY DAYS
crazy 12 years and never noticed they used the same sample
Pitch Black - Its All Real prod. by DJ Premier also uses the same sample
Wow. Def heard this song 10+ years ago. The nostalgia is flowing lol.
Uughh; I need to work on my beats 😪
@@kinglewisviiigood for you?
I found that masterpiece of a song on SoundCloud some years back. It should still be in my playlist somewhere
Classic Song!
I agree!
You must be new to Kendrick if you haven't this song. This song also introduced me to Gunplay before I saw him on MMG
Yep. How I see it, many folk who were huge fans of Kendrick sort of grew apart from his music, and there's a bunch of new artists that spawned from Damn and Mr Morale
Love this joint, gunplay absolutely bodies it! Thanks for what you do for the producer community bro 🫡
Yup gunplay killed that song
"Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes!"- probably the best verse of his career honestly.
@@Official360 yup best gunplay verse and it's an all time great hip hop verse to me
I knew it before I clicked it. The song still gives me chills
Our Telugu Tyrant, Our Gujarati Guru, Our Punjabi prince, our Tamil Tiger drops another classic
Hahah I don't like any of those names
i thought you were talking about kendrick bruh😂
@@NavieDyou mean you don't like rando internet jock riders? Good for you.
@@wzpu3283 It doesn't have to be jock riding to just really like someone...
@@wzpu3283no. he meant he doesn’t like those names
I've definitely heard this one many times and it has always had a special place in my heart. I also really enjoyed The Spiteful Chant which I think also ended up having sample clearance problems iirc. Anyway, thanks so much for doing a deep dive on the production for this! ❤
Love the Kendrick Lamar vids ❤
With the release of Blue Lips, I hope there will be a Schoolboy Q video. I always thought the beats he used were different.
I still listen to this song. Def one of his best.
Guarantee if you from Cali you know this .. was playing way back in high school born 95 this one of TDE best songs from that ERA along with Blessed and Say Wassup
Saw wassup one my favorite. Easssyy flleeeezzyy😂
Blessed not being on Spotify is such a shame I’m convinced it impacted Q’s career and how underrated he is
Facts
agree with every word, was happy to see ' say wassup' in the mentions
@beners blessed is crazyyy good lotta people forget about it and what pisses me off is that there are some songs from that Q album on spotify but not blessed? Wtf!?
I love your super nerdy and detailed breakdowns! it makes me appreciate other peoples music and even my own music, creativity and process 🙏🏻
This guy jacked what do you mean
great video man. Have you ever thought about making a full video about RZA?
I still remember where I was when I first heard it🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I hope we’re getting a Bluelips production breakdown video next week👀
Fire 🔥
Thank you my friend
I heard Cartoons and Cereal many years ago and it was by far one of my favorite songs by him. In fact, I think I heard it when I was first learning about his music. I love how you break all the elements down to a science. Makes me appreciate the song and his music even more!
Really well put together video. Thanks for uploading!
You should do a video on never catch me
There is literally nothing wrong with Cartoons and Cereal
Yeah, quality video RUINED by a clickbait title
Great flip, classic song
I’m definitely gonna try the method of removing awkward drums from samples 💯 thanks Navie!
hats off brother
Will there be a video about Schoolboy Q‘s Blue Lips?
Classic song!!
Thank you for that
Hey can you make a video on how to create dark deep sub basses? Maybe talk about how Mike Dean does it?
First time i heard that song was last year. the snare technique reminds me of tuscan leather
Shout out to DJ Premier. Realize it’s all real! 🙌🏾
DJ Premier is in here?
He saying it’s the same sample as the pitch black song it’s all real which was produced by premier
@@loudnoidz223 🤫. No sample snitching. The message was coded. 👀
@@jjbing3I’d normally agree with you, but it’s already on WhoSampled so it doesn’t matter anyway.
“Yup Yup”
Gunplay verse still gives me chills 🔥🔥🔥
You should break down westside right on time
Yes!!!! I wanted that song on gkmc so bad it would’ve been a great intro or even a bonus track on the album
@@4DaFam yup
I never knew this wasn't on the album. I've been playing/streaming this song from the jump...
I mean it’s completely out of place on the album, it doesn’t make sense at the end after Compton. It’s a great song though
I always loved this song, cause I had it when downloading music was still a thing, but the last couple years when I started using spotify, I almost completely forgot this song. You just brought it back to me, and this is insane.
That sample at 4:48 is also used recently in Trae tha truth - Sware I'm . Love that sample it's exactly like you said very melancholic puts me in a whole vibe!
You put in a lotta work for these videos dissecting these samples. Like a Sample Dr. sample M.D.
This track is very similar to collect calls, a very unknown bonus track off gkmc. I found that song really deep and dark
damn that flip is great
Such a cool beat for sure
Hi Navie can you post sometimes tutorial videos again?
I’ve rewatched this video many times. You introduced me to a great song and methodically broke down this masterpiece. Thank you, Navie
I didn't know about this song until today. It's still not my favourite Kendrick cut, but I can definitely appreciate the inventive production. It's a shame that the original artist wouldn't clear this song for him.
Crazy to think some have never heard this as a Kendrick fan 💀
Bombay used this same sample for Blu - The Return a couple of years later. It's amazing how whole ideas, concepts and songs can come from such a short snippet.
Heard it. Love it. Found it on a compilation album a while back but not great quality
too bad they didn't have that new serato sample update where you can remove the drums
facts
never in my life would i have thought that i could be on the part of youtube where i discover karim benzema breaking down music production, but here i am, good video
😂😂😂Benzema!!!
This the song that got me hip to him frfr. It was on UA-cam with a trippy visual
Cap
I remember putting my friends on this way way back when it first dropped and they’ve been bumpin Kendrick ever since.
I remember when this song dropped. It was like an atomic bomb in my playlist lmao. On REPEAT. Such an incredible track. What a great breakdown too. Would've never imagined the sample was from that source.
Philanthropist of techniques!
Thanks for all your hard work💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
r u going to do a vid on blue lips by SchoolBoy Q
Hmm, not sure. I am on the fence
You haven't heard this only if you are not a true Kendrick fan! 🙌 Amazing breakdown of the beat!
Does anyone know where this would have been positioned on the GKMC tracklist?
My man love the video. Could you do something similar for my favorite Kid Cudi song which was also never released? Do it Alone - Kid Cudi. Much love and respect for what you do. 🔥
NAH I HEARD THIS SHIT IN 2013 IT BECAME MY FAVORITE SONG ON GOD I REMEMBER DOWNLOADING IT ON DATPIFF ON THE MIXTAPE
I remember hearing this song on a fan made video about 10 years ago. Listened to it a bunch since then but I knew Kendrick was gonna be huge. Does anyone know anything about a Tupac Joint ft. Kendrick or Picture Me Rollin’ ft. Kendrick? Are they both fan made?
Kendrick Lamar has a fictional interview with Tupac on Immortal Man from To Pimp A Butterfly, but I'm pretty sure anything besides that is fan-made.
I've not even watched the whole video yet but this track was my JAM back in school. Thanks for taking me back!
I still have this song on my phone, gunplay verse is goated
Great vid, such attention to detail, except for misnaming the song "Cartoon and Cereal" more than once. lol
this song definetly on you tube him and gun play i love diffrent thats what i strive too do out the box i no it word 4 word i think g play spit the best verse of his career
Yeah, an unofficial YT video is the only place this exists.
@@NavieD thats crazy im a dj not really a song spin i no how too get good copy dj jazzy mitch he has every song ever made lol this guy runs his entire house wifi on 3g phone
I still remember when I first heard this song back in the day. I downloaded it on my PSP and listened to it over and over and over, still hits to this day!
til this day i'm still waiting for part 2
Shout out to Gunplay for that killer feature: "Nobody can mute me, but I never said nobody can't shoot me" just straight raw realistic lyrics
Is it just me or is the string sample on 4:50 exactly the Intro of the Spectre Theme-Song?
huh, once I realized this was about Cartoons and Cereal I figured this was just gonna be "sample didn't clear", which is the case lol, but it was really dope seeing the recreation of the beat and going in-depth on how the sample was used. cool video
I’ve absolutely heard this song around 2012
YO major props to “THC” they definitely had some of the GREATEST beats of the 2010’s
Remember watching the fan made music video while tripping. Most mesmerizing thing ever
classic. love this song. thank you for showing the story behind it. and the breakdown of the beat
If it aint "I'm in the club", we not talking about anything.
Edit:
We are indeed, not, talking about anything.
😂😂😂I see you
As soon as you first said the words “cartoons and cereal” I liked the video. It’s my favourite Kendrick song and so many people don’t know about it
I also agree that if this song properly got put out there, it would be on top for real
Real fans know this masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥
I heard a different story that Warner Bros didn’t want to the clear the Bugs Bunny “what’s up doc” sample.
Yo, that music video with bugs bunny and coyote on the thumbnail was the first time I listened to that song... eleven years ago. Still listening to this day.
And I'm from Brazil.
Been a top track- real ones know!
Great vid as always!
Best unreleased Kendrick song is Prayer IMO. For those who’ve not heard it- check it out!
I wish prayer wasn’t leaked
@@Kanyewestbiggestfan123 yeah better to not know about it and not have it be officially released than the other way around.. crazy as it is I think it slots in perfectly as a MMATBS closer (as much as I like Mirrors).
Ooh, I don't think I've heard it. Gonna listen now
@@getTheSchmack I’m saying that if it wasn’t leaked it would have actually officially released
@@NavieD you will love it... an absolute gem
Cool backstory on this song!! Seriously one of my fav Kendrick songs and just fav songs in general! Love gunplay as well
how did u find all this out
what bpm was this at?
Damn I remember this song, I heard it so long ago before I even knew who kendrick was. I've heard it several times since, but never new the same and couldnt find it anywhere. So thank you for the name.
TBH Navie, You better look into BLK Odyysy also. That sound will be the biggest ever
Preemo used the same sample on Pitch Black's 'It's All Real.' Had no idea it was the same until this video
I used too work an overnight shift sometime this one would come up but i never knew it's origins thanks for the history dude.
I have most definitely heard the song and Gunplay lyrics are his best I've heard from him when I realized it was him I was so happy that he was on the track he really out did himself

Gunplay verse.. Yo!! 🔥🔥
kendrick is my favorite rapper
The Return by Blu and Bombay used the same sample
Heard it before, the song is banging, thanks for explaining how it all went down. Great explanation of the beatmaking process. Peace!
