[@derrickdouglass]

A great reminder that the tools are there to help express the ideas of the artist and the skills the artist has honed through hard work, education and grit. Awesome tutorial from RJD2.

If nobody ain't analyzing or dissecting your music, you do it yourself. Bravo, Mr. RJD2! 👏

This is so great, happy to see that this video is up for everyone to see!!

Loved this album growing up! There was a lot more than I knew going into this song, I’m stunned. Now I can tell “The Horror” and “2 More Dead” were done in similar ways? 😅
