DJ Quik is just like Dr Dre, all they do is lay the drums and mix later on, the rest is played by musicians like keyboards, guitar and bass etc. DJ Battlecat does it all by himself not to mention the talkbox!!@@SpikedCollar666
I honestly think battlecat's beats are better than dre's. The beats that are on the radio now just arent as complex as they were. Now they're really simple... not to take anything away from them because I do think they are catchy but it seems like anyone nowadays can put a beat together in 10 minutes and talk about their suicide doors and making it rain and they have a hit. Watching this man work is a pleasure. Great producer, great beats, great talent.
Nah you are definitely not right, that's just different, i think that there were people in 90,00 who were saying the same words you wrote about beat making at all comparing to earlier times
@@DS-fj8fh Are you serious? Those are augsperger speakers... they make everything knock. That combined with the dope ass samples he’s playing on the MPC 3000 🔥
i found this video 10 years ago and was juiced some of his studio time had been immortalized. been comin back to it every year. Most underrated producer, but highly appreciated by those that know that G-Funk.
BattleCat is a beast! I'm not from the west coast but I been a big fan of his for a while. I recognize true talent when I see it and I don't think he get's the recognition he should get.
Swear to God, sonically, them Eastsidaz albums had the same clarity the Chronic 2001 had, had my kickers knocking, still blown away by the clarity of it all lol, convinced me to start producing
💯 💯 💯! Battlecat seems to be on the same level as dre, as far as the mastering process goes. All his beats are super crystal clear 👌🏽. They're more into the sonic details than the actual beat
12 and a half years later and it just does not get old. Still criminal that this never dropped as a song or even just full instrumental beat. That steel drum OH MY GAWWWWD
It will never matter how the sound of music will cycle over the years, where some sound is hot and in for some period and than back to another, because this is solid and will always no matter what time it is. Man I keep coming back to Battlecat's videos and as always I'm amazed by how good the sound is. Battlecat should get more recognition than he's getting. He capturing the west coast sound totally perfect!
Anybody else got about 62 secs in and was like " ...nah mah nigga... If this is where he START... i gotta hear where this go!!!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 u caint squeez out no more west coast than what battlecat gih u. #legend
Cooking is very similar to love or beat making you have to respect the fundamental rules and know it well. Only people who "have it" within can improvise freely while playing with the rules without causing conflicts. You can tell that the kid in him is having fun he is natural. Most unique results always come from the right improvisations. it is the subconscious mind taking most of the decisions in real time without the need to correspond with logic but still syncing.. This is how you get originality. Tasty tune..
erm, this is the earliest verson of Soul Plane's soundtrack im pretty sure i liked this version much more edit: not sure if its the actual soundtrack but you can hear this beat at the end of the movie
watched this so many times. he a G. any young producers watching its all about creating a groove a feeling, you can have all the best sounds and software but if you miss that step you will be forever searching
Damn bro so West West. Crazy the look on his face he zones to another place on every part of the beat. Its like he can isolate each part of the beat as he builds up. Fucn crazy bro.
This is SOOOO inspiring y'all! Probably the best beatmaking video I've ever seen. Blows my mind every time I watch it! Thanks for the lessons, BattleCat!
I bet the 53 people that dislike video are taylor swift, and jonas brothers fans. lol Cat is one of the most underrated producer. To make a beat from scratch is pretty sick as well as difficult. Any one who can appreciate west coast music should also appreciate battlecat being one of the west coasts pioneers in hip hop music.
In terms of creativity, I honestly think he's one of the best to ever do it.
DJ QUIK IMO
Yea he and quik best muthafucka beat makers they beats is so dope and fire
Quik is good but battlecat has crazy chops. Quik be getting other musicians to lay down his ideas that he can’t play himself.
DJ Quik is just like Dr Dre, all they do is lay the drums and mix later on, the rest is played by musicians like keyboards, guitar and bass etc.
DJ Battlecat does it all by himself not to mention the talkbox!!@@SpikedCollar666
You cannot even compare them to Dr Dre
I'm watching in 2024😮
Word
Im watching this since 2007, and still love it
I honestly think battlecat's beats are better than dre's. The beats that are on the radio now just arent as complex as they were. Now they're really simple... not to take anything away from them because I do think they are catchy but it seems like anyone nowadays can put a beat together in 10 minutes and talk about their suicide doors and making it rain and they have a hit.

Lol.
I agree 💯 percent
Quik + Battlecat = West Coast
HB Stone that'll be a great collab
Cold 187um dj unknown daz johnny j soopafly pooh
You’re forgetting Daz
Warren G has something unexplainable that makes his G funk pure Mesmerizing and Westcoast.
dre quik battlecat
I miss these kinda beats..its a dying art
who doesn't blame guys like dj khaled & so many that are trash
G FUNK WE FUNK
true
Check out Amplified's music, he still got that sound. There's plenty of us out here still rocking west coast.
Nah, producers are making everytype there is to make. Rest easy this style is never going to die :-)
Who else is still watching in 2020?
Me
Dr Dre probably is
What a stupid question
2021
I'm still watching this in 2021. I've watched this video at least 2 times a year since it was first posted.
His vision was great for this beat
This video will never get old to me. This level of skill is timeless.
Word still hot
3:30 when he lets the slap bass get a little moment. the musical intelligence behind those small moments! i love it!
This build sounds so incredible

Makes me proud to be from the LBC. And wherever you're from, we on the westcoast appreciate the love fam.
Dj Battlecats production is never brought up when the westcoast is being mentioned 💯
Thats a lie
It is among people who know
Fr I be saying the same thing .
He is the west coast
U need new friends
I saw this a million times. Never gets old. Classic....pioneer of the game
it's a goddamn shame beats like this don't play in the mainstream anymore,
how i miss that 90s productions
That beat is like a chick in a makeup tutorial video- went from basic to baddie in a hurry!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gd'Up - Snoop Dog and Tha EastSidaz . My favourite song from Battle Cat
Mine might be Cali Is Active, but G’d Up & Getto Jam are a close second and third
I luv it was my favorite i first heard it while skating
Everytime i watch this i automatically start crip walking!!
Hellz yeah lol..

I learned not to quantize my beat it gives it the hip-hop swing feel, hip-hop is gumbo
Hip-Hop & It Don't Stop fasho
real talk
I quantize the hell out of my shit because I'm a lazy ass fool
@@SurgeCess LMAO, if it works do it!!!
Same
I bopped my head the whole five minutes non stop. Damn he is good.
Haha realized me too when you said it! :D ?!
The Zapp song on the turntable he uses for inspiration is "Dancefloor".
12 and a half years later and it just does not get old. Still criminal that this never dropped as a song or even just full instrumental beat. That steel drum OH MY GAWWWWD
The master of Westcoast G-Funk beats he turns into something else when in the studio..that scratch is on point👌
It will never matter how the sound of music will cycle over the years, where some sound is hot and in for some period and than back to another, because this is solid and will always no matter what time it is. Man I keep coming back to Battlecat's videos and as always I'm amazed by how good the sound is.
Battlecat should get more recognition than he's getting. He capturing the west coast sound totally perfect!
Battlecat has a such a soulful G funk style
Tray dee and goldie loc would kill this
Compton General on h60d crip tray dee n Goldie loc would murder dis

WHENEVER I NEED INSPIRATION I COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO TO GET MY VIBE ROLLING!!!! DJ BATTLE CAT LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been watching this video for the past 14 years and it is still one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Iconic.
Battlecat is a legend,give his flowers while his here😼⚘
no drugs needed this man has a natural high for music do yo thang BattleCat
he is one of those producer who looks for the sound in the sounds he is playing until he finds the groove, good shit
2022 and i still play this like it was a platinum hit
I watched and listen this over and over again...
Sound like Battle Cat was in the Studio with Zapp!!!!!!! That's real rap....
my neck hurts!
Elias Bekele lol this will definitely make ya neck hurt
2019 and this is still on repeat.
battlecat is the man
easily one of my top 5 producers
PURE TALENT
I always said BattleCat more westcoast than Dre.
+King Jaffi Joffa Dre used ghost writers and ghost producers.. Not like Battlecat, who does it himself.
King Jaffi Joffa Dre was a woman beater and Cube wrote his raps
who is Dre?
80siix Dr Dre one of the founders of NWA
never heard of him making good beats, do you know who SCOTT STORCH is? Its the man that makes the "dre" melodies
When Cat hit the turntable the whole beat flipped around, I watch this video once a week, since it came out 😂😂😂
This sound soo west coast!!!
no shit sherlock
hahahahahahaha. oh shit. he took it back to 8th grade on you.
Anybody else got about 62 secs in and was like " ...nah mah nigga... If this is where he START... i gotta hear where this go!!!"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of my favorite producers, solid genius. I would love to work with him.
This that East Syder banger. Snoop,Goldie n Dee

2020 & it still slaps
This man is a legend in G-funk along with DJ Quik and Dre. All the beats on Domino's debut album were gold
Who else is still watching in 2060 ?
Now this is one of the hardest from the west coast to do this. Extremely a master of his class, nothing hit like this no more, man!! Thank you!!
Has anybody ever rapped on this?... Was it ever released? I NEED THIS SHIT CUZ!!... This nigga is a MONSTER
+lafucil daaaamn.....
erm, this is the earliest verson of Soul Plane's soundtrack im pretty sure
i liked this version much more
edit: not sure if its the actual soundtrack but you can hear this beat at the end of the movie
Is anyone aware if that beat made it to track?? If yes please share the name. This beat is ridiculous good
Dj battle cat one of the illest and most slept on producers the man is cold salute
Straight up murdered up on the wall on game's album
watched this so many times. he a G. any young producers watching its all about creating a groove a feeling, you can have all the best sounds and software but if you miss that step you will be forever searching
My fav from out west next to Quik, Daz, Johnny J (RIP),
Genius. Still holds up in 2019
2:15-2:30 was an eargasm overload
Damn bro so West West. Crazy the look on his face he zones to another place on every part of the beat. Its like he can isolate each part of the beat as he builds up. Fucn crazy bro.
Laitoya Williams would kill this beat
whats the song man
Ive always liked Battlecat production. I love watching people construct music.
man this beat needs to be in a song....
i keep coming back to this video every now and then since it was first published (before i started making music). never gets old. battlecat is the man
anybody else wondering what the song is called or is this a beat he just made for fun.
Bruh the layers of different dounds he added to make this beat is so sick cat one of the greatest to ever do it!
This is what you call an eargasm.
Starting off 2021 with this
Dude is a genius. Unlike most beat makers, this guy usually comes up with the beat instead of sampling.
he's like blakmaul super dope
The percussion loop was a sample G
He samples a lot actually just like any other producer out there he just does it in a clever way by replaying parts ect
One of my favorite production videos.LEGEND!!
The west coast Erick Sermon, very underappreciated. Pure dopeness!
That dude cold!!
I'm here and bangin this in 2022 🔥
battlecat 4 life westcoast finest
Amazing to watch
Who else still watching this in 2019 🔥
One of my favorite Super producers!
This was so clean , jesusss
This is SOOOO inspiring y'all! Probably the best beatmaking video I've ever seen. Blows my mind every time I watch it! Thanks for the lessons, BattleCat!
One of the best to do it. Where's he been at?
***** He had a heart attack i think man - read up.
TheRealDirtySkillz Yeah that was back in 2013.
+Luke James (Album Reviews) He's alive and well. I talked to him last week
Hyde Park & Crenshaw Glad to hear that! I feel he's an under-appreciated producer...or maybe I'm just getting old?
he workin on other shit like he been at the studio with snoop n shit for snoops newest album
Battlecat one of the pioneers and best to ever do it! Salute.
Sucks that this isn't even a real song. One of my favorite beats from any producer. EVER!
I dont know how many times Ive come back to this video. One of the most inspiring beatmakers ever and one of the GOATs for sure.
I bet the 53 people that dislike video are taylor swift, and jonas brothers fans. lol Cat is one of the most underrated producer. To make a beat from scratch is pretty sick as well as difficult. Any one who can appreciate west coast music should also appreciate battlecat being one of the west coasts pioneers in hip hop music.
I remember Battle Cat my brother in law chords introduced him to me a few years ago... great guy, real cool people.
How bout 2020? anyone still on it ?
