69thnstony because through collaboration, he gets where he wants to be, but he claims it’s just him and his genius, even though he has a team of people helping every aspect, every step of the way
Kanye has always been open to working with other people throughout career and he hasn't been shy about telling everybody who he has worked wih. Kanye could thank half of the success in his career for everybody he has worked with honestly. It's what he is saying that rubs people the wrong way and also his personality especially more recently. He was always confident and brash even earlier but now he just comes off as a dickhead and really hard to be around.
I think it's the part where he says he's the "fucking end-all, and be all of music" and claims to be a god that make people think he might be a bit arrogant.
Big props to Timbaland for not only being a master of his craft and having a solution on the spot but also not being stingy with the game and putting Ye on to it. And big ups to Kanye for not being to proud to ask for help and putting the art above ego, a lot of artist wouldn’t have put their pride aside to ask for help from a industry colleague/ competitor. This is the beauty of true collaboration when we work together as community helping eachother the end product is greatness
At the end of the day, it’s about two men that has mastered their craft creating timeless music that would still be played for years to come. It’s truly beautiful to see. Ye knew the only person that can maximize the song’s potential is Timb and Timb wouldn’t let such an amazing song go without it reaching its best outcome. Two amazing legends in the game.

Exactly Why didn’t Kanye or any of the engineers suggest and 808 ?! Crazy I always suggest an 808 (to myself) to layer over a kick to make it knock Crazy to think Kanye wouldn’t have arrived at that himself at this stage of his career
Im surprised kanye couldn't figure this out by himself or with his team. Simple problem. If your kick & 808 aint hitting or clashing simply invert the phase on one of them,eq, compress, or parallel compress,tune,pitch. Its not that hard. Or create a custom kick with the 808 together just for the song. Put a kick that pops with fast attack and place the 808 under it with the length you need for the bass and compress it a lil bit for it to gel together. Throw a lil eq and dirt or lo fi to it for a lil seasoning and bam you got your kick & 808 in one sample.
@@allthingsaudio4610 Because Kanye was thinking waaayyy outside the box at this moment in his career. Sometimes artist forget to go back to the basics. So an OG like Timbaland had to put his input in and went to back to the basics and BOOM!
Until you realize how hard it is to do... Most people think sampling is easy and thats why its frowned upon, and when some producers do it it is easy, but the way kanye and Timb do it, its more difficult than you think. Making it an art in its own. I actually think its easier to make a beat from scratch then to successfully sample a track the way Ye does.
@@sickboi335 Part of sampling is trying to catch the emotion of the reaction to the sample too. I dont care how good your self made samples are, it will never have that "Hey, I know that.... oh DAMN!" feeling the first time you hear it. You instantly connect with it, and then it goes somewhere its never been before, so it makes that head bob snap just a bit harder. H.O.V.A. and Stronger are perfect examples of this.... both happen to have come from Kanye.
@@thakaptin2043 i get your point bro but sometimes it is harder to clear those samples from getting out of copyright claim most of the industry producers are in a financial position where they can afford to clear them up so that there wont be a problem using them so i try to make my own so I don't have to deal with anybody running after my beat. but i agree with you that feeling can't be replicated what the old samples gave.
I feel like Timbaland is still a bit underrated. In my opinion one of the best producers at just feeling the vibe and not overthinking, which is one of the most important parts of producing. Legend!

The problem is his original kick had "tonality" in it - So when using it with the 808, which is very tonal - it clashes. So then u run into all kinds of problems wen the two parts r not right to start with. Thats why the very first step is CRUCIAL which is to make sure you KICK and 808 are TUNED together and ALREADY separated. Then its becomes sooo much easier to mix them and they jus harmonosly blend beautiful complimenting each other. The kick punches thru and it knocks on ur chest and the bass 808 wobbles you on ur abdominals and lower gut level. Together they form wht u wod call a HAPTIC experience of a really good low end of a song
People ain’t even know these some of the first dudes to make a kick and an 808 work together at the same time in records and make it a popular thing… this mad
Just so everyone knows, Tim didn't do anything crazy here, he just found the right kick to go with the 808. Before that, Kanye was trying to fix the problem by adjusting the kick he already had, and often times there's no amount of processing you can do if the sound just isn't right. So Tim went through his sounds and found a kick that would work with the 808, and that was it. I bet Kanye just got caught up in the song and thought the mix was the problem. It happens to a lot of producers.
It just shows that Kanye, like most hip-hop producers, didn't understand the basics of music. Amateur producers without education always treat drums as if it's separate from music rather than a low register instrument played rhythmically. New producers like Skrillex or James Blake that come from a musical background understand that and their drums always sounded focused from get go. But it's a common knowledge now.
Mixed 11 times omg that’s work and Kanye was like it still ain’t right.. nowadays people ain’t putting that much work into songs now.. u can’t rush perfection every body too much in a hurry to get things done u gotta take your time and do things right
It isn’t totally, you still need talent and extreme hard work from the performers side of things, buuuuut you’re absolutely right the mix and master is INSANELY important.
I know what ye's talking about. he wants the thump of the kick to cut through while still having the 808 present and not clashing. sidechain compression maaaaaaaan
Somebody out here has to explain to me how this dude Kanye is supposed to be a megalomaniac yet he has enough humility to want his product perfect, even after it's released. Plus, the humility to admit his skills and ability weren't enough (yet) so he brought on a more experienced producer to help him. I just got sooo much more respect for this dude now.
Jacob Serrano I really don’t believe him when he said that. As much as I am a massive Kanye fan, the man really can’t freestyle. All of his freestyles ever since 2009 were already written but unrealesed lyrics
And these are the length's today's producers should be going to, to get the record right. I myself, as a producer - keep things like in my mental rolodex at all times. It's not about the quick turn-up record, it's about never giving up until the record is right. Doing whatever it takes! Salute to these two LEGENDS.
The last part of the vid made me feel like I’m in a dream/ game watching the concert out of my mind. For real though this song is one of the best ever done.

I think Kanye's dedication to perfecting his products is really admirable and what made him into a truly great artist regardless of the bullshit he sometimes spouts. I wanna bring that same energy to my business, and hopefully it turns out well lol. Just getting started now.
@@El_Diablo_12the actual main takeaway from this video is to go back to basics, not to infinitely refine. Kanye would’ve kept going forever if timbaland didn’t show him that simplifying was the best option. Words to live by whatever you do, art or business or anything..
@@ChescoYT danja did melodies..timbos cataloge goes back to 96...there is no better drum/percussion programmer in urban music...he never used the same drum pattern and his sense for rhythm is unique. 1.5TB of beats on my hard drive aint lying
I watch this video all the time and it's crazy to see timbaland telling kanye what he hears and kanye askimg for advise. Even crazier is the drums we hear on the actual record are timbalands drum patterns. Classic
Crazy how mainstream hip/hop rap has went from a complete masterpiece like this with hundreds of hours of work to a hour of work with a beat made in ten minutes. Maybe the good old days will come back again.
Because the technology behind it has gotten so much better. There's no need to have huge mastering decks and consoles, a laptop has enough to do it all. You can zip large files and send them over the internet. No need to fly to LA to get a mix done. No need to buy 10 different keyboards with specific presets, you can download a handful of VSTs and get any sound you want.
Just because the tech got better doesn’t mean it should be quicker. I think what OP met to say, is that artist aren’t going after the best possible sounds and options to amplify the record. It’s more simplistic and dare say, lazy. Even with better tech, artist today know they can get away with a lazier beat and lyrics, just the clout matters now.
imo there are still mainstream artists that take their time to perfect their craft or songs. you just gotta look in the right places. art that takes time to perfect doesn't dwindles as time go on, it just so happens that music that takes "less effort" gets more attention.
This is why Timbaland has moved into mentoring Young artist these days. Genius. I grew up listening to alternative rock, UK dance music and native tongues hip-hop... So Timbaland blew my mind in Hip Hop when he came out... Because he combined all of that into his Urban Pop creation with Aaliyah. I used to call him the best dance music producer in hip hop before hip hop artists followed his lead and did dance music songs. Kanye was genius for going to the genius timberland to fix this 😎🤘🏾
I remember the original Daft Punk dance version back in the 90's, I heard it in Paris and London. Great sample they used. It's what makes the songs a hit.
nowadays the process of making music is so short because of technology its kinda sad. Seeing these mf's spending like 4h on getting the kicks to knock makes me kinda happy and appreciate the music more lol. But if the product at the end is good it doesn't matter how you made it...or does it ?
Way too many people focus on making beats as fast as possible. Producers like Kanye and Timbaland (probably, I'm not familiar with how he works) remind me to take my time to get a result I'm in love with.
yeah i understand that but just because it takes longer doesn’t necessarily make it better like you could take 20 mins and just sidechain, mirror eq and put on some saturation and be good. yes it’s good to not rush the process but having the knowledge we have now is amazing man so why shouldn’t we utilize it to expedite the process?
After years of seeing this video I realized that it was mixed 10 times because in the end what the real problem was the production of the track and sound selection.
Tims a goat man, even dealing wit opiod addiction his beats still always hit, even tho he feels it affected it, I truly haven't heard a tim beat that I sais naa

U can see the passion and hustle n they eyes
4:15 that beat so FIREE
wow you're so funny man

He absorbing the info. Hope this video stays forever
Truly amazing video
Something cool about seeing talented people work
1:59 LMAOOOOOthe struggle is real
Young Dj A-Trak chillin in the back. Bunch of legends in that room.
i love when youtube suggests me a random video from the kanye west expanded universe
Being a music producer is a real job for real ‼💥
DAFT PUNK SAMPLE SO CLEAN
My so happy see this vid....
Stronger is my late mum's fav track I'm so invested in this track
This man said he got every drum machine and every choir ever made @2:30
Jeremy Thompson i believe timb
This man is the God on drums/percussion so I would say it’s safe to say I believe him 😂
@@TheShadowless no he's not. He had a ghost producer protégée named 'Danjahandz' producing some of his greatest beats and took credit for it.
@@ChescoYT danja did melodies..timbos cataloge goes back to 96...there is no better drum/percussion programmer in urban music...he never used the same drum pattern and his sense for rhythm is unique. 1.5TB of beats on my hard drive aint lying
@@g_o-a_t holy shit. Bro i didn't realize he never used the same drum pattern
An honor to be able to see this
Some people an just hear the sound no one else can, it’s a special talent
Two of my favorite beat makers pushing each other, I love it. Thanks for the content
Timb is just flat out gifted they mix that song 10+ times trynna get the drums right and timb comes in and fixes the issue in a few mins
Respect to them in the 2000s no question asked gold 💯💯💯
Two of my favorite producer's.
I watch this video all the time and it's crazy to see timbaland telling kanye what he hears and kanye askimg for advise. Even crazier is the drums we hear on the actual record are timbalands drum patterns. Classic
Crazy how much making music has changed since Kanye started dude has been doing it for so long
A humble/eager side to Kanye that I NEVER see!
Crazy how mainstream hip/hop rap has went from a complete masterpiece like this with hundreds of hours of work to a hour of work with a beat made in ten minutes. Maybe the good old days will come back again.
on everything
Because the technology behind it has gotten so much better. There's no need to have huge mastering decks and consoles, a laptop has enough to do it all. You can zip large files and send them over the internet. No need to fly to LA to get a mix done. No need to buy 10 different keyboards with specific presets, you can download a handful of VSTs and get any sound you want.
Just because the tech got better doesn’t mean it should be quicker. I think what OP met to say, is that artist aren’t going after the best possible sounds and options to amplify the record. It’s more simplistic and dare say, lazy. Even with better tech, artist today know they can get away with a lazier beat and lyrics, just the clout matters now.
Nowdays its all lazy preset 808’s and the same lazy repeat-note hi hats, back in the day the quality was so much better
imo there are still mainstream artists that take their time to perfect their craft or songs. you just gotta look in the right places. art that takes time to perfect doesn't dwindles as time go on, it just so happens that music that takes "less effort" gets more attention.
Timberland beats so specific as I’m listening to this in my cars speakers the drums beat is coming out of the speakers flawlessly through both sides.
who else saw this say 10 years ago and felt old when 10 years ago was 2009
This is why Timbaland has moved into mentoring Young artist these days. Genius. I grew up listening to alternative rock, UK dance music and native tongues hip-hop... So Timbaland blew my mind in Hip Hop when he came out... Because he combined all of that into his Urban Pop creation with Aaliyah. I used to call him the best dance music producer in hip hop before hip hop artists followed his lead and did dance music songs. Kanye was genius for going to the genius timberland to fix this 😎🤘🏾
I really want to hear the different versions back to back cause there’s no doubt it was a good song but Timbaland made it what it is
who dislikes this???? its just behind the scenes footage of the process. I hate haters!!!!!
people who dont understand the importance of bieng creative with music Mike Ross
MIKEROSSMUSIC RUclips PAGE a fuggin men
Ah yes my favourite Knye song “Stonger” off the album “Gaduation”
This is the song that introduced me to Kanye
Timberland is the professor of sound !! . Fucking legend !!
I remember the original Daft Punk dance version back in the 90's, I heard it in Paris and London. Great sample they used. It's what makes the songs a hit.
The daft punk song is barely original. The original is cola bottle baby. All they did is slap on robotic voices.
THAT’S what makes this song great
Kanye went to Timbaland with that beat and he knew he had to “Bow at the presence of greatness”
"I have every drum machine ever made in this joint right here"
I don't doubt it either.
I came here from the lex interview. I love ye 😂
nowadays the process of making music is so short because of technology its kinda sad. Seeing these mf's spending like 4h on getting the kicks to knock makes me kinda happy and appreciate the music more lol. But if the product at the end is good it doesn't matter how you made it...or does it ?
Way too many people focus on making beats as fast as possible. Producers like Kanye and Timbaland (probably, I'm not familiar with how he works) remind me to take my time to get a result I'm in love with.
.
If your music is taking 4 hrs to make then idk man, 4 doesn't sound right to me.
Well if it ends up being an iconic/legendary song it doesn’t really matter how long it takes
yeah i understand that but just because it takes longer doesn’t necessarily make it better like you could take 20 mins and just sidechain, mirror eq and put on some saturation and be good. yes it’s good to not rush the process but having the knowledge we have now is amazing man so why shouldn’t we utilize it to expedite the process?
After years of seeing this video I realized that it was mixed 10 times because in the end what the real problem was the production of the track and sound selection.
Tims a goat man, even dealing wit opiod addiction his beats still always hit, even tho he feels it affected it, I truly haven't heard a tim beat that I sais naa
That video transition was slick as hell
that edit at the end bangs so much credit for that jeez
Tim is a legend. Forreal
Goat learning from another Goat. Love to see it!
