    Great analysis KXVI. For a long time, I’ve wondered what exactly Tay Keith did to make his beats bounce better than anyone. Tay Keith is a wizard when it comes to attenuating the low ends in his productions therefore adding just the right level of bass while it hits hard asf at the same time.

    Secrets, no explanations, figure it out:
    - Timebase: 24
    - 808's not necessary if your bass has sub & a little distortion
    - @9:03 It's called layering drums, kicks in this case
    - One more secret to that, but find it on your own.
    Getting lots of placements isn't the definition of a "Super Producer". That's not hate, that's being literal. Watch 'in the studio' videos of Dre, DJ Quik, and Neptunes to name a few and see the difference.

Record a simple, catchy chant, layer it all as if its a block party Drums: 8. Simple loud hihats, 16th rolls 9. Electronic like slap snare, 16th rolls 10. open hat when energy should be higher 11.

    I bring the heat
    the melody
    it's fire in the streets
    Like Tay Keith
    he be f**king up the beats
    each release
    (its) like I pissed of the Police (they hit harder)
    and the snares be rolling in,
    the hi-hats with no opening,
    the 808's are synthesize,
    he even added in the rise,
    signature without the sign,

    Love the vocal layer. I'm dead set against the loud hats. They tire your ear out real quick. I thought Get It Sexy was produced by Take Heed.
