Marley Marl is unquestionably one of the greatest producers and DJs in hip hop history. His influence and importance to hip hop are undeniable, and his innovative productions and pioneering use of sampling helped define the genre. Marley Marl has produced beats for some of the music's finest MCs including Big Daddy Kane, MC Shan, LL Cool J, Biz Markie, Roxanne Shante, Kool G Rap, Nas, Rakim, and Masta Ace.
In the second installment of Marley Marl 'Classic Recipes,' he shows you how he produced "Eric B. Is President" in 1986, the debut single for legendary hip hop duo Eric B. & Rakim. Marl talks about meeting Rakim for the first time and discusses the collaborative process with Eric B. that would yield one of the most influential hip hop tracks ever. "Eric B. Is President" combines a bassline from Fonda Rae's bonafide 1982 club hit "Over Like a Fat Rat" and a beat from James Brown's 1974 hit "Funky President." Putting these two parts together was a bit tricky due to differences in tempo, but Marley resolved this problem by replaying the bassline with his trusty Casio CZ-101 keyboard instead of just sampling it.
In this video, Marley Marl recreates the entire track using his Akai MPC Renaissance to play a bass sound similar to the original, and using kick and snare samples from The Honey Drippers' track "Impeach The President." As always, Marley Marl drops priceless nuggets of wisdom and tips for young producers, including a beat programming technique he picked up from the original funky drummer Clyde Stubblefield and knowledge and words to live by from Rakim: "It ain't where you from, it's where you're at."
Good to see Marley still doing his thing. I lived on the fourth floor and Marley lived on the second. I used to put my ear to living room wall and hear a lot of these classics being created. I finally got a chance to meet him through a friend of mine, and sat in many sessions with the juice crew. I will never forget this lifetime experience.
back in them days it was all about the dj. now its all about the rapper.
why did u guys stop classic recipes, this is amazing
@@HD-tg2kn really
@@Jolynenizuma22 missunderstood it
Because he took samples from people with out paying them lol
The school got shutdown for robbing people
@@levijones7836 he didn’t even know he had to pay for the samples before
Thank god that first MC did not show up, imagine if Rakim never made that record...
+Harry Armstrong .. scary... real scary.. can't imagine no rakim
Harry Armstrong that’s what I say
Bumpy Knuckles
Bumpy was nice tho... but definitely not the R
Hip hop wouldn't be where it is today without the early contributions of this legend. He let us know "I don't care what y'all gonna do, but it's gots to be funky!!!!!!"
Wow, Marley Marl recreating the classic cut Eric B. is President. This man is so humble and real to just be interviewed and share the secret ingredients to one of Hip Hop's biggest and best cuts. Thank you Marley...
Marley Marl, DJ Premier & Pete Rock = The three Kings of New York!
Can't forget RZA
+Johnny X cz n 9
Queens=Marley Marl
Staten Island=RZA
Manhattan=Q-Tip maybe?
Brooklyn=DJ Premier
The Bronx=Pete Rock
True! Sorry, my fault!
+KaizerMan whoa whoa..Pete Rock represents New Rochelle or as we called it "Now Rule". The Bronx? is straight Boogie Down Productions. So much so, that some folk still call it the Boogie Down Bronx.
Marley Marl - thank you brother for blessing us with another glimpse into your genius.
"limitations are good" & "ghost notes". ... Thank you Mr Marley Marl, for sharing.
Man I felt like I was watching a doctor perform open heart surgery. Marley Marl is a genius.
#Legend
Marly Marl, Paul C, Ced Gee, and Large pro, were the pioneers in truncating Phrases.
This is exactly the kind of video Ive been looking for, I could watch a million of these!!!
Tell me now that " Paid in Full" isn't the best rap/hip-hop album everrr, also try to find a better hop in the before time was hip to it; a better hip hop song other than Eric B. for president. Even though Marley Marl is beyond a King of things. Rakim hits the wisdom along with it. My words are not Sorry because I still own an Atari.
you people are romanticizing rakim a lil too much lately...
@@arkhitektz3150 white people love rakim now
this is awesome. been searching for something like this. i'm fascinated by the behind the scenes process of producing music; and hearing stories about how the classic records got made is incredible. thanks
THE GREATEST EVER....THE GOD FATHER OF CREATION....MARLEY MARL
Classic music like this is timeless...ITS STILL ROCKS TODAY. I was in elementary when these songs came on....And I STILL LOVE IT TODAY... I LOVE THIS TYPE OF HIP HOP...
DAMN THIS IS FIRE!!!! MAKE HIP HOP GREAT AGAIN IN 2019!
Don't forget about Large Professor....Xtra P!!!
gotta get Marley Marl Back in the Studio for these New MCs Like Joey BADA$$, Dave Ea$T, Flatbush ZOMBiES, Tray Pizzy,etc.
Sean STROMAN fuck them get new rappers that can actually rap
Those artist can rap to me and many others. Don't know why you think they can't. Can you elaborate further on your opinion?
They in there still ghost producing man.
get the fuck outta here with that garbage!
Arkhitektz Well, at least Joey Bada$$ is going for an old-school 90’s vibe with his flow and beats.
Thank you Dubspot you guys have taught me so much. Always on point, much love!!
good thing Freddie didn't show
The whole of the Great Britain loves you, Rakim, Eric B, James Brown and Mr Clyde stubberfield for this and many more classics!!! You have added so much to the culture, this rocked our jams and carnivals in 1986!!! God bless HipHOP!!! we will never stop.....Hijack Uk 1988 to 2013>>>>PEACE!!!!!!
"Limitations made us what we were." -- That was the truth for SO many different upcoming genres of music. It really made producers push the limits of what they could do and explore and try new things and really further the music. Great video!
Clearly one of the dopest things on the internet..
This song was genius, and is still a classic in my book! I remember hearing check out my melody for the 1st time and I thought it was the rappin' Duke because of the slow flow. NOT! Shan says on his video that he played the keyboard on Eric B. is president, But this shyt is still tight to me. I like the original version over the remix tho.. That's just me tho. Rakim is the best that ever done it! Thanx for the video Marley.
soundtrack of my teen years...SO FRESH Yo
These are just mind blowing to me. I grew up with these records, and believe me they took alot of finding in the uk. I learn't to scratch by listening to Marley, from Marley Scratch onwards.... Thanks so much for doin these :-)
it'll be a cool to see a movie based off they career like the N.W.A movie
Eric B was lying his ass off on the Eric B tells the truth on Paid in Full Album Credit intervierw. Marley Marl Da Man.
mackdanny170 Mc Shan had his hands on this song also....But never mentioned...
I wish they made more of these
1:00-1:04 What happened was Rakim flipped the game on it's azz upside down and became a legend and still is to this day
Amazing person, this Marley Marl dude! 😎
He's a legend. Remember his productions from my first vinyl records as a kid. And I wholeheartedly agree on what he's saying about creativity arising from limitations - and making those 4 tracks COUNT. Rock. Nowadays, with DAWs and unlimited tracks, many producers tend to use way too many sounds and elements for their own good. We're not Wagner (the classical composer) you know;)
He's giving y'all the science!!
Ahh man! Good shout. I would love to see behind-the-scenes of The Bridge!
Marley Marl is a music master.
I can't wait to see more classic recipes what's you got cooking up next Marley Marl
I am from Los Angeles and I'm about 50+, however i use to remember listening to Marley Marl over and over and over again.. Super dope and don't get his just credit.. The architect of Hip Hop
the best album he did is MC shan down by law hand down
A true Master Class from one of the Maestro one of the greatest rap producers of all times. Limitations makes you selective. Ghost notes thank you Sir.
Eric. B and Rakim one of the great hip hop duos of all time!! Real Talk!!!
All Hail Marley Marl. Straight Beast!!!
Fuck man if lessons were like this when I was growing up as a kid I'd have stayed in school more.
would be interesting to find out how much they had to pay for the samples...
golden age of hip hop.....sampling the past..to give us the future...classics
@Dareal Chris Groove and De La Soul got sued as well
please make more of these
i love how back in the days they used like 4, 5, 6 sounds & bits from diffrent records...lazy ass new producers chop up 1 song and thats it...
i guess the bridge wasn't really over
WOW! This is time well spent THANKS MARLEY MARL

First of all these videos are just incredible. Thanks. Before I even stumbled upon these Marley Marl 'Classic Recipes" videos, I was just saying to someone the other day that Marley was my all time favorite producer in Hip Hop. Number 1 in my top 5. Coming here and watching this only solidifies that opinion. :)
What happened to Mama Said Knock You Out?
MC Zappa Copyright......it’s so stupid.....
Pure funk
This is so sick.
Yo Marley I Start My 10 Miles On Foot A Lot Wit Dat Song Til This Day...!!!
Not Da Mention What It Felt Like When It Came On Back Then...!!!❤❤❤💯💯💯💯
Gotta Luv it!!!!! Salute to Real Hip Hop!!!! 💪💪💪💪
Marley Marl was the man. I was a popular dj. in boston back then. I walked into nubian notions to buy a drink on a hot summer danyand When I heard this track in coming out of the speakers at nubian notions record store down dudley. I didnt know who they were but I had to purchase 2 copies of this in the back of the store instantly. I knew it was a hit. The first picture I saw of them that was on the counter was a black and white picture with them wearing faded out jeans. It was almost like a jail picture pose.
Caught the radio show 11-08-2013; krazy (It felt like Open Mic on the Mr Magic Show / WHBI). And 'Classic Recipes' needs to air on BET, MTV, etc
Rakim said Marley did not like his flow and voice sooo... let’s keep it real here please
Another missing piece of my hip hop puzzle. I never new where the base line for my Melody came from. Thanks Marley. U da man
Again 8dislikes. What the f. This is Marley marl and Eric b and rakim. These dudes are the gods, the goats part of the foundation of what we love.
This is amazing. I'd buy a ticket just to watch Marley do this live.
Great video! Legend. I wish I knew these techniques back in the day!
Appreciate this man! Long time comin'... Thanks for blessing us. True pioneer in every sense of the word 'producer'. It's funny. You hear how he spoke of 'limitations' and how it forces you to be creative and learn how to turn knobs to get certain sounds. All I can say it experiment, experiment, experiment! Yes you need good samples and but even still it's what you do with those samples that makes something dope.
you a fuckin' genius Marley Marl. You are a big influence on how I produce and write. Thanks!!
16 chumps have no funk!
11 people think lil wayne is the best rapper
DAMN!!!! 12 NOW.
4EvaNova those r justin bebier fans who says that

AMAZING INFO
Truly amazing. I feel so honored and lucky to grow up and experience the golden age of hip hop. I remember hearing Rakim in my sophomore year in high school.
Thanks Marley Marl for one of the hottest track from back in da day.

Str8 Jewels!!! I know what 2 do now. Thank you Mr. Marley Marl. Not just 4 the vid, but for making magic and me being lucky enough to hear it young. Me at 47, you bring them feelings back. Thank you. Been a fan, ya dig.
im happy to see so many MPC videos lately.. should we be expecting more hardware reviews and tips? That would be wonderfull!
this is a legend and im greatfull for him taking the time out to breakdown some of his classic hits support real hip hop before its lost forever
great stuff! marley marl is one of the best ever. his classic stuff is over 20 years old, but fresh as hell.
Damn I had no clue Marley Produced these two!!!
Thanks Marley, please hit us with more!!! The man, the myth Marley Marl!!!
DOPE, thanks for this great upload, Marley Marl is such a personable host, he's a teacher that makes you want to learn!
Never knew Marley was behind Eric B is President.
He’s literally giving away the secret formula… for free….
Nothing secret about it. Everyone who used samplers back then knew how it this was done.
The records just became more and more obscure and less obvious. Watch the J Dilla "Still Shining " documentary if you want to learn about someone far better than him.
Back in th day sure but there's new secret formulas now a days
This is great. Awesome to hear Marley Marl break down this classic record. I have work this album out since 1987. Still have most of it memorized.
Epic lesson from a Master of the game. Thanks for posting. Sub'd!
I am really enjoying this series. Thank you for sharing!
that drum roll is absolute genius
i cant even imagine freddie foxxx on this beat!!!!
Truly in awe when you learn how greatness was created. Thanks Dub Spot for making the knowledge available. Kudos to you my man.
Sheesh. Classic breakbeat seminar right here.
