Man...your my new favourite UA-cam music teacher I've never in my life experience of music making have I met someone who it true to their word & actually say stuff that's legit.... Wish you many more followers ,subs & Blessings in everything you do.
This one made me subscribe because I learned some things I've never truly acknowledged before. I had no idea some songs even had samples because I assumed they were that simple. I remake many of them myself and I guess I haven't done enough research. I really appreciated when you pointed out the volume ratio between the drums and sample, noting that the drums were larger in the 90s than they were on Section 80. I've never thought about it that way and it's changed how I see much of music today. It taught me that a track can hit just as hard even if the drums are quieter than most of the ingredients, as long as they're all the perfect ingredients. Thanks for making this video! It's basically an 11 minute breakthrough.
You hit the nail on the head with this. Myself I don’t have the tech knowledge to fully understand this. My peers do, as a few of them are beatmakers and artist and I just appreciate what the do without fully understanding what it is they actually do
Rigamortus will forever be one of my favorite songs of all time..for the sheer technicality and dexterity of his flow, Godly Breath control..till this day I can't understand how it doesn't sound like he takes a breath at ALL. lol. Crazy.
Dude you’re so awesome for videos like this, I love the layout / transitions between you & the beat making / techniques you display. It makes me wanna go cook up beats again, I have been slackin & a lot of UA-cam beats have been dry for me lol
Great video my brother! I was in love with the production style on Section.80 back in high school but had never thought of it like this. I didn't know that so many of the drum loops were filtered samples!
Wow this might be one of my favorite videos by yours! I think Section.80 is one of Kendricks most underrated projects! Years ago i made an instrumental remake for Kush & Corinthians because it's also one of my favs on the album and there wasn't an instrumental on youtube yet. But one thing i wonder about, usually when making good, modern beats, it's all about having "hard knocking drums", or at least, drums that dont feel weak. But as you showed us with Section.80 they went for "weak" drums on purpose. This is a difficult sitatuion because if i make a beat with "weaker" drums to get that Section.80 feel, somebody might not like the beat because of the drums... Still, great video about this topic! Gonna listen to Section.80 again now
My thoughts are similar, as well. I was wondering if Navie might layer the kicks and snares with more modern boombap kicks and snares. But is that taking away from the original aesthetic? lol cheers!
Especially with the musical landscape today in hip hop. Everyone wants that vibey jumping trap sound with the Southside hi hat rolls unless youre Drake lol. I appreciate every beat on Section 80 personally. You have to like and enjoy real authentic hip hop to love these type of beats, weak drums or not imo
Plus Kendrick is the focal point because he's the artist that actually has a message along with the melody. Everything works together unlike alot of artists these days where the beat is the focal point because they are wack and generic.
While I don't really remember all of the songs in Section 80, the beat you made in the end was vibing to me like Section 80 vibes. U got a like from me man.
@@NavieD Hello Navie D, I was hoping you could listen to some of the beats we mad since we've just become a music duo this year and planing to release an ep. Some feedback would be much appreciated.
A producer would take all of the info in this video and break it down to simply "They made 90's style beats and mixed them slightly differently to match modern standards". I love the breakdown for the layman though...👍
For sure There’s some interesting arrangement & sampling going on here as well, as with many of the 90s albums we love. Loved how he pitched the UGK sample for “blow my high” & used it creatively
Thank you Navi! I am stoked to know I realized this on my own, its cool to hear the idea from your perspective and have somone that is successful mirror what I felt made the difference. I have only had a controler for about a month and am still learning how it works... but I want to make my own tracks so I started trying. At first I was lost and thought like many I needed a bunch of plugins and fancy equipment. Then I watched a video on how Daft Punk made "one more time" and it was so beautifully simple I decided to try anyway. So first night I went for it, I made a remix of Gooey from Glass animals by speeding it up to 125bpm removing the bass layer. Taking a few loops from a house track that added the unique bass layer. Then using 2 different loops I mixed the levels till a clear balance was created. Let The sped up Gooey play and started and stoped the loops at the end of each 16 bar section to add and remove layers so the track builds to the break down, then builds back up till the outro. The way you explain it was exactly how I did it just kept listening to the balance and tried things till it was obvious. I totally agree if you dont need fancy plugins(all I used was a traktor s8) and no music theory experience. It is recorded and I can now remix this live in a set if I want to or play the recording as a track in my set. Hope your doing great. I subbed and liked the video and watched your 30 minute video in the description. 🕉🌌💓🎶✌
These modern samples are about the same time frame away from when people were using jazz samples from the 70s in the 90s. We shoudln't be afraid to use them.
Just watched a few of your videos. You have just earned a new subscriber. Really interesting to see you break beats down. I write lyrics but I am trying to get more of a grasp of the production side of things. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and future content.
idk but what Kendrick do is actually simple. He rely mostly on 90 music, jazz, experimental soul, psychedelic/prog rock type beat, acid rock, etc. I have an idea, to everyone who wanna try hiphop/rap music, find a unique tune for example: japanese soul & jazz music, egyptian classic rock from 70-80's, psychedelic funk from eastern such as from middle east, asia, and more, or take a listen to my country music called dangdut (take the old one from 70-80's) or whatever u like. Just dont ever try any generic rap/trap bullshit. They totally sound same and boring. This formula has been used by artist like Kendrick, Kanye, The Weeknd (he just simply took Japanese city pop), Rich Brian, or the new Doja Cat song. Try this and see in 5 years! U'll be big because people think u're a new fresh air in hiphop/rap music scene while it's just u rapping to psychedelic soul beat. Peace!
would love to see a break down video on the production behind the album be by common which was produced by kanye and has a unique style of making beats that sound like samples but without using any sampling
I hope you're having a good day, my friend
💯 a video on kendrics music and the production put into it.
it's absolutely a good day 🔥🔥🔥
how are you so majestic and beautiful
you too bud
needed to see this rn
Sit N Prey is a cold ass beat yo

That alternative beat you made for Poe Man's Dreams was insane
First time seeing your content. Nice editing, breakdown, structure, and that beat you made was smooth!! Keep up the great work!

It’s so dope

Great vid!, It’s interesting how the decade the sample comes can kind of shape the blueprint of the bear.
breakdown of blow my high was super helpful
I ain't got lie... I just checked the free link u got on how to make beat and it just blew my mind and inspired me on how to be a better beat me
Got this video recommended from a friend. I love it. This was definitely a well needed watch. I am subscribing now.
Thank you algorithm for showing me this, such great insights and technical knowledge.
This video is everything!!! Good work!
This is brilliantly put together and very informative.
You continue with great student style information. I appreciate it and you
Dude. You giving out VALUE. Thank you so much!

Gave some amazing tips on porduction

Please do to pimp a butterfly. It has the best production of all time 🙏. Great video as always.
This was great

nice breakdown... even your beat re-creation made feel that section80 again... 5* Navie D. watched twice since your edits look beautiful as well.
love your music, but didn't know you did youtube aswell, great video!
❤thx legendary video
great video bro.
Very nice video. Thumbs Up!
Random video poped up. Liked. Subscribed 👍
Man o man I appreciate 🙏 your break downs thank you for revealing techniques 😊😊
So helpful, thanks man
where can i get that drum break folder at tho????
Nice analysis
Such a cool video. Inspiring, editing on point.
Quick question, i see you use serato sample. Is it better than the fl native sampler in your opinion?
10:03 now the drum break sounds like "Take Off Your Makeup" by Lamont Dozier
We didn't
"PUT" the sample in a mono space, The SP1200 at the time sampled in mono for longer... Just a consequence of limitation. Respect👍
early kendrick formula= Andre 3000 style. lol
Your beat sounds best!
Amazing!!!
Fire breakdown
