you forgot genius skill level (A Tribe called Quest; Daft Punk): taking samples from several different songs and put it together so it sounds like from a single source
Using space is a big issue for me when it comes to sampling, or knowing how much of a sample to use and balancing it with stuff like fills and SFX. I like what Premo does where he takes a low pitched stab to fill out space (e.g “A Million And One Questions”, “The Sixth Sense”). Also beats like Styles P’s “Good Times” (prod. by Swizz Beats), Jadakiss’ “By Your Side” (prod. by Baby Grand), or Jay-Z’s “All I Need” (prod. by B!nk) where the sample is mostly used as a hook, and/or most of the verses just take stabs/filtered parts.
Yeah, often that part of the sample that you like should still be used somewhat minimally. I see a lot of producers take a 3 second piece of a sample, make a million chops and use it to make their entire loop. Having it appear everyone in a while can be a better way of achieving balance
Of course you would start this video with one of my FAVORITES by Gang Starr! I almost took the isolated vocals of the late great Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal from it for one of my own beats! 🙏🏾
for several years his beats have been weak, they don't swing at all, and those without drums are a complete failure. However, Premier, Muggs and Sermon are in a completely different league
Excellent video Navi, could you make a beatmaking video of the Venezuelan guys from El Dojo? There are several rappers but if you can, one of Lil Supa would be great. It's in Spanish of course, but the sound is unique, it has a mix of Muggs with Alchemist and Wu Tang. TREMENDOS . Greetings 🙌🙌
As a DJ Premier fanboy, the thumbnail seems quite offensive. He's got many beats with more intricate chopping, the drum programming and sample selection are always amazing and then he's got the skills and knowledge to scratch in some vocals for the hook that match the theme of the track. And without a DAW too. Doesn't seem "easy" to me...
@@marcelwk I mean in the context of the video it makes sense and isn’t offensive. But all things considered, seeing Kanye in a thumbnail shown as making a crazy flip and Preemo making an easy flip is funny. Cause Kanye’s chipmunk beats were pretty straightforward for the most part (Bink and Just Blaze > Kanye producer wise). Whereas Preemo has some of the nastiest chopping skills (Vol 1 intro, Boom) but also is the king of short loops (Mental Stamina). I’m a Kanye fan but I don’t trust any of his production post CD/LR has much to do with him. He’s surrounded by producers who are better than him nowadays
I think it's more of the beats picked as opposed to the producers themselves, cause dj premier has "harder" beats and easier beats, same with someone like The Alchemist he's got "easy" beats but also hard as well, I don't think it meant the producers themselves but I understand what you mean, I'd hate to see preemo disrespected as well
My question and I assume most producers question isn't how to sample.. but, HOW to get the samples we used cleared when we are regular everyday nobodies that have ZERO POWER and no contact lists in order to get in touch with the right people in order to clear said samples? That's 100% the problem! Producers that have already found success are able to get their samples cleared. Meanwhile I'll make 100 of the dopest bangers money can buy but since I'm a nobody I can't even bother with posting my beats because I'll never be able to get the samples cleared! It's really not fair! /endrant
Just use em anyway. They aren't gonna come after ya until you make it. Use whatever samples you want. By the time they care, you'll at least had gotten something out of it
use more obscure samples that aren't on streaming services or have less views and you'll be good. most underground rappers and producers don't clear samples
What is your Halloween costume gonna be?
Mine will be a noteGRABBER!!! Which you can download at www.notegrabber.com/

True. That is definitely a hard thing to do
and the story of oj sample
@@wizzroz4362 Those Dilla chops to make the story of OJ beat is top tier No ID sampling shit lol
Todd Edwards
Rza mastered that to perfection !!!
0:03 I like the idea that you took time out of your day to make this beat
I spent 4 hours making that
@@NavieD plz send stems so I can remix!
@@NavieD🗣🔥🔥🔥
Simple doesn't mean bad and complex doesn't mean good , I think having a good ear is the most important thing when it comes to sampling.
Navie used my beat in the intro 🙌
Navie, you’re not just making certain techniques easier to understand, but you are actively contributing to producers becoming better musicians.

I swear ive levelled up since messing around with notegrabber over the weekend 👌
Devil In A New Dress is one of the hardest sample beats i have ever heard in my life
fr Bink was cooking
That Notegrabber is a life changer!! Bought it without even thinking. Greatly priced as well! Good job bro👐

I feel that Alchemist out of the three has evolved the most when it comes to production. His drumless beats are on another dimension 🔥🔥🔥
Speaking of elevator music 🥱
@@showbread9366 So who would consider a better person that consistent year after year?
Kanye, apart from vultures (edit: tbh vultures 1 had good production) @@andrewoliver9686
@@andrewoliver9686don’t fall for the bait. 😂😂 Alc has definitely held it down year after year no production team either.

OH MAN. If only there was a tool available that would transcribe the notes of the sample.
navie never misses

yea idk if its just because hes my favorite producer but the thumbnail made it seem like hes just an average producer who only makes simple beats

Can you make a vid about tyler the creator
I might. I actually have one from 2 years ago that I didn't end up releasing
devil in a new dress is my 3rd favorite song of all time and ngl the sample is a banger too
No reason but what’s the other two?
@@AB3L30NE 2. Ghost Town 1. See Me Again both by ye
Any tips on how we would practice these techniques
I Actually met Vic Juris once at a jazz concert, I had no idea he was sampled by DJ premier!
Can you make a similar video with mobb deep? How can I choose the part of a sample or the actual sample. ❤
Ohh that would be a cool idea
@@NavieD 🔥❤️
He just taught you what to sample in this video 🤦🏾♂️ Plus if you watch the next video it might save your life😂
Make a vid on how to make the more chill sampled westside Gunn and alchemist beats
Great video 🙂

Yes my minty friend, he sure was
Hi, Could you make a video about arranging your beats to keep your beats interesting?
DEVIL IN A NEW DRESS YESSIRRRRRRRRRR
BRAVO!
Make a video about Madlib, bro.
I think the hardest part is establishing which part of a track to use.
Lol I mean apart from discovering the track in the first place.
Bro great idea for a plug in - legit product not just a cash grab from your followers.
Is there a way to shrink Note Grabber to fit a laptop screen? Mine only minimizes from the left and right sides, not the top and bottom.
Your channel is a treasure trove of inspiration. Thank you for your hard work!😽◾️⛄️
