As I arrived at work one Monday morning, I received news that my uncle had been murdered earlier that morning. I took the next available bus home. Popped on my headphones, clicked play on my last playlist, and this song played. Got me in tears on the ride. To this day it reminds me of my uncle. Rest easy ❤️
I listen to a lot of instrumentals and a lot of hip hop in general, and I can say this is my favorite beat of all time. i get goosebumps every time I hear "do what you want do what you like do what you feel do what you need"
Man, "Montara" is one of my favorite jazz songs ever (I'm a big Bobby Hutcherson fan). I like how Madlib freaked the loop with the chopped up Lou Rawls break. Classic material!!!
On ..My Best Song Ever .. Now I understand so many thing whit you ! Si tu aime ca va voir le compte du poto Big stacks le Ga est clairement sous coté ... Vous me remercierai plus tard !
This song demonstrates the simple brilliance of hip-hop as a way to make music. Here you take a pretty straightforward wind piece, specifically the main melody from Montara, and a drum break from another record. The act of putting them together at that very moment (let's say 00:18), is where it transforms. No longer just two pieces living separately, they come together and form a whole greater than a simple sum of its parts. A good loop + a good break, that's really what it comes down to.
I think the drum break is original, and they had someone replay the melody of montara on a flute and Madlib samples the low end from montara while playing his own bass and marimba and vibraphone in the background
Thank you, Madlib, thank you...for those of us who love Blue Note jazz and Hip Hop coequally...thank you, brother. You give me hope for Hip Hop in the new millennium.
I can think of approximately 85.000 different things I can do with this as a perfect soundtrack, from a long shower to a leisurely walk down a half deserted street at night with blinking stoplights keeping the rhythm..
One of the most legendary collaborations ever that most people wouldnt even know about. Blue Note + Madlib. Mad J Dilla couldnt get one done before he died.
1/5/2021 Rest in Peace to my conversion van and my home, Surge. 5 days into the new year and my home of two and a half years burst into flames and was completely charred in a mechanical fire that started randomly. Luckily, I am safe. However, I lost everything I own including clothes, mattress and bedding, bathroom supplies, dishes and kitchen items, food, all my important documents (including passport/birth certificate, etc.), personal items such as my laptop and cellphone. Everything. I had spent the months of July-October of 2020, getting my conversion van repainted and ventilated, extensive mechanical work done, and reconstructed on the inside. All in hopes of taking off on another off the grid journey. I'm a firm believer that "everything happens for a reason", which supports the idea that disasters such as this can often be blessings in disguise. However, I believe blessings also come when you are able to admit you could use some help.
@@veronicajata3121 wow. thank you for checking in tbh. It was a long journey. i"m just starting to feel inspired in life and like I have purpose again. I had a lot of grief to process, but still had to move on and live life. I feel like I started to truly feel the grief was surfaced, processed and let go about 6 to 9 months ago. It was hard, bc no one really understood just how traumatic it was. So, it felt like I was being judged for not "moving forward" fast enough, and for my shifts in what was important to me. I don't really value material items/lifestyles like I used to, and I can tell it makes people uncomfortable that I'd rather focus on my own personal peace, and just enjoying the little things in life (like hikes, stretching, sitting in silence, privacy, and simply living without the pressure of always being productive and chasing achievements). Thank you again, I really appreciate it. 💛
@@veronicajata3121 damn, I rarely cry. and really have been wanting to. I truly appreciate you asking how i'm doing. you have no idea. I wish you nothing but blessings✨.
@@dharris4318 Oh no problem! It's always good to see that others are doing well, even if you don't know them. I always like to hear an update from people on youtube even if I don't know their names lol. I'm glad things are looking up for you. Please stay close to God, that helps a lot! If you need to cry, please do. I have this problem sometimes, I have to laugh to keep myself from crying. But we must remember that we have all our emotions for a reason so please don't feel as if you must suppress them. Anyways, I hope 2024 is a better year for you! Good things take time to flourish. You be well! :D
the very beginning...and 4:20 to the end is my absolute favorite part. I just love how its so mellow and then all of a sudden the drums kick in HARD!!! and makes me feel like im at the livest party in the World...and its only me right now.
I love this song, for some reason it wasn’t available here in Finland but NOW IT IS. Listening to this makes me feel like you are taking a step into the past
bigben1986 Also don't forget K-Otix - Falling Behind II, L - Check the Flow released in 1997 and 1996 respectively. I love this sample and Madlib did an excellent job
Id play TF out of shakers. My air drumming is stellar. 🤣🤣 This song gives me life. Im always motivated and inspired when i listen to this. It feels like victory.
how is marijuana so dangerous? this is what came from it, this is what inspired madlib to make such a chill and great song. amazing man. i smoke to this. all my problems just fade away through that flute.
I heard this beat being rapped over by a underground rapper(now deceased) Avionadramida, and I heard it before that a long time ago, but I never knew the name of the song, or the guy who made it so I searched around, found out Madlib made it, got into Madlib, and all his wonderful music with MF DOOM, Quasimoto, and many others, then I found this beat, now I play it everyday.
Anyway, my point is that the reality for many fans of the genre (most definitely for myself) is that what seems like an "uncreative" process of mixing and matching elements from "real" artists by detractors ignores that fundamental turn into something much more than that. I firmly pin it to a love to the break beat itself as the most fundamental block but adding that loop giving it a dynamic. Adding rhythmic vocals not only perfectly compliments the beat but allow both to go on for longer.
@mikhail21393 exactly! the powerful snares in hip hop carry the jazz melody so well and offer it more power/impact! you know i be wake n bakin right about now, if you real i know you see it ha!

My babies will know beauty and love through music.
I promise you humanity. I will do my best to raise lovers of all things.
Beautiful I dig it
Respect ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
All love, humanity, and Blessings to you and your family.

Could play this everyday for the rest of my life.
Preach!
I listen to a lot of instrumentals and a lot of hip hop in general, and I can say this is my favorite beat of all time. i get goosebumps every time I hear "do what you want do what you like do what you feel do what you need"
Any idea if that’s sampled from something? I can’t seem to find it if so. Cheers
@@zakboardman9432 this song is sampled from montara by bobby hutcherson
@@zon6158 i was asking about the lyrics. any clue?
@@zakboardman9432 the roots remixed montara in 96 with the same lyrics
I live for Montara by Bobby Hutcherson. Beautiful piece of work. Great taste in sampling ❤❤❤❤

This comment is still relevant 10 years later.
Underrated comment

Madlib makes you appreciate music
Love how this track plays with the left and right stereo channels
Dilla used this sample in that concert smoking grooves tour with ATCQ and flipmode squad on the film rhyme and reason in 1996
Fera that shit was badass
Groovin', G-g-g-groovin', so groove n' groove n' groove n' groove n' so on.
Just heard this on the jazz station Wclk in Atlanta. This track is soothing to the soul. Tight!!
ATL knows
i love women who dig real hip hop. that shit is a turn on.
saw your comment on the original version of this by Bobby Hutchinson haha
🙌🏾🙋🏾♀️That’s me. I love hip hop jazz fusions. My heart holds a special place for 90’s hip hop.
Just JuanGoodCitizen 💙
@@caramelsundae711 are you on FB or IG?
Always true to our music.
Total Chill Out. Googled up 'Montara, CA', clicked on images, while listening to this - Absolute Synesthesea.
i could listen to this song over and over....Madlib and Jdilla are great
One of his most emotionally moving and best instrumentals hes made. Love how peaceful and laidback it sounds. that flute is otherworldly
Thank you, Madlib, thank you...for those of us who love Blue Note jazz and Hip Hop coequally...thank you, brother. You give me hope for Hip Hop in the new millennium.
I think the most impressive thing of this beat is how Madlib panned everything, so insane.
Such a hidden gem 💎 Might be one of my favorite Madlib tracks.
appreciate and love this great musician while he's still here with us. my favorite artist of all time. this whole album is one memory after another.
RIP Bobby Hutcherson.
Rest in peace your eye 😕
I can think of approximately 85.000 different things I can do with this as a perfect soundtrack, from a long shower to a leisurely walk down a half deserted street at night with blinking stoplights keeping the rhythm..
This is the tune when youre riding the bus through the city streets of Noerrebro in Copenhagen on a late summer evening..
Peace from Denmark!
One of the most legendary collaborations ever that most people wouldnt even know about. Blue Note + Madlib. Mad J Dilla couldnt get one done before he died.
THIS SAMPLE WILL NEVER GO OLD. TOO MANY DOPE TRACKS AND PERSONAL FAVORITES HAVE USED IT. ONCE AGAIN, TOO DOPE MADLID
Madlib on a Sunday stroll
loving this forever.a pure classick.orig and Madlibs
Oh my Madlib sir!!!!
This is something we like to call.....music. The radio doesn't play music, much to our dismay.

So cool how the tone of the flute completely changes once the beat comes in... music is a strange and beautiful beast
Makin moves. Royal flush. Sample. Respect from chile.

Great

I love listening to madlibs chill at work, makes my work day smoothly melodic like his tunes
One of madlibs Best compositions.

don't forget lil kids queens ny york rapper "royal flush" sampled this as well on his track called makin moves" circa 97'
making moves y'all... making moves y'all
lil kids lol...? This album in itself requires a distinct taste. That's a little condescending for the audience you're addressing.
Wait wait hold up...AND you had to say this on bobby hutcherson's video? Thanks for the repeated information...
bigben1986 Also don't forget K-Otix - Falling Behind II, L - Check the Flow released in 1997 and 1996 respectively. I love this sample and Madlib did an excellent job

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAT KONDUCTA MADLIB 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
@WereGoingSomewhere Dig It!
This is my favorite beat on this album.
Lovely.
Id play TF out of shakers. My air drumming is stellar. 🤣🤣 This song gives me life. Im always motivated and inspired when i listen to this. It feels like victory.
The smell of cedar / sandalwood would sound like this... 😎
how is marijuana so dangerous? this is what came from it, this is what inspired madlib to make such a chill and great song. amazing man. i smoke to this. all my problems just fade away through that flute.
this song continues to save my life
@MrFilthyrich76 O YES BROTHER, GREAT SOUNDS THROUGH THE BLACK MANS FINGER TIPS
Un leño y madlib que más se puede pedir
Great track
One of the best
@mikhail21393 : Madlib and Turntable is the Perfect Combination!
I heard this beat being rapped over by a underground rapper(now deceased) Avionadramida, and I heard it before that a long time ago, but I never knew the name of the song, or the guy who made it so I searched around, found out Madlib made it, got into Madlib, and all his wonderful music with MF DOOM, Quasimoto, and many others, then I found this beat, now I play it everyday.
Not Ya Boy 1000 wow !
Do you remember the title, I can’t find it
This was on Growin Pains by Overdoz.. Nice to know where they get their inspiration from.
🎶Do what'cha want, Do what'cha like, Do what'cha feel, Do what'cha do🎶
Frankie Cutlass
Nice & Smooth
Pete Rock
That beat at 4:30 though.
BEAUTIFUL work!
beautiful
Perfect song, like all madlib's songs.
doesnt really get more beautiful then this does it
The beat of Lord of Lands by The Underachievers has this same melody
both sampled the same
May be recall this playlist top track of madlib
I think this is his most beautiful song
"Slow Rhythms" by JEWELS (a emcee signed to BucktownUSA) uses this on his mixtape "The Easy Way Out" ... there is a official video uploaded on youtube
