The Making Of Drake's "The Motto" With T-Minus | Deconstructed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Drake’s 2011 song “The Motto” featuring Lil Wayne remains a fan favorite more than five years after it was first released. Beyond catapulting the phrase “YOLO” into the stratosphere, “The Motto” stands as one of the biggest hits from the OVO boss' sophomore album 'Take Care.' It’s produced by T-Minus, who also worked on the 'Take Care' songs “HYFR” and “Under Ground Kings,” and later linked up with Drake for the 'More Life' cuts “Blem” and “Sacrifices.”

An 808 and a bunch of claps made everyone start saying Yolo
Kyle Beats crazy
You’re comment is so important yet underrated 🤦🏾♂️😂💯
Ozzonated I almost got mad but then I realized how much I hate to see people screw that up so thank you 😭🙏🏾
Lol. Basically
Kyle Beats i love yo beat my man
People complaining about this being "late" like it matters. I wouldn't care if it was a deconstruction of how pete rock made The world is yours. It's the process that's fun to watch
The D is silent EXACTLY
I actually really wanna see Pete rock make the world is yours with the technology from then.
💯
EXACTLY!!
@@ramsesdanh4092 I would love to see producers from that time deconstruct beats with software like mpc 3000s and asr 10s
The beat can really carry an artist, but the beat will always need that someone to bring it alive too
Kampsy if a beat slaps hard enough it doesnt
Young Mo I mean yeah it kinda does. You cant have someone all out of harmony and not in sync with the beat. Even with dudes like Carti, the Magnolia song is a dope ass beat and he isnt really doing anything crazy, but he's on the same frequency and wave as that beat. The artist still needs to be able to bring a beat to life.
You do know that music doesn’t need vocals lmao. It just depends on how dense the mix is, if you want someone to rap/sing you leave them space, if it’s just instrumental then you can fill it up.
For sure
it's always the simple records that blow up. as a producer i've learned that sometimes less is more. Drake still the goat for making this simple beat into a crazy hit 🔥
Prodohue I swear. I sit there like " I could've did that"
Prodohue keys keys keys
+Tre McGhee but then you try to make one like it & can't lol
Prodohue lol
Word. Same formula a lot of Dr Dre tracks too. Forgot About Dre was just bass, violins, drums and the melody :P
Bro I'm so sick of people complaining about Genius posting videos of deconstructing old songs. The series isn't called "deconstructing new hits"
The point is to deconstruct songs that are hits whether it was released last week or last millennium. That being said get Bach on one of these videos cuz his symphonies were fire.
Bach didn't write symphonies. Bach is older then the symphony. Crazy
Shoulda made him show the process of Swimming Pools
Gh0st yesss
That beat was so fucking hard.
Drake: "I want something uptempo and simple"
ariky Ariky and goes and makes a hit
Producer: lets make it 101 bpm
And boi did t minus deliver
Used to love this song lmao
SORAWBEATS still slaps
SORAWBEATS used to...
Boy, you better love it again. It’s fye
Kevin Rochel true
SORAWBEATS honestly
TB to middle school

KBeaZy yerp
Damn I was in college
footworkin in the hallway😭😭

As soon as i heard the 808 i knew it was a hit. The snare was catchy, the clap complimented the snare so well. I wouldve never thought to put two open hats in a song but that was amazing too. That clap loop was wild af.
I will go to the grave saying simple beats are some of the best beats in hip hop
What I've learned most from watching these videos: Simplicity is the key and the best beats take about 30 minutes to make.
I'm not a drake stan/fan at ALL, but I know Take Care is a classic album and forever will be ingrained in rap history
Please tell me y’all deconstructed swimming pools while y’all were there.
Exactly!
yessss that beat smackkkk
"Now she want a photo, you already know, though
You only live once: that's the motto"
ScarlettP yes, those are indeed the lyrics on the song.
been waiting for this since 2012 thanks
This beat is so simple yet goes so hard. I remember the first time hearing this shit and playing it a good 20 times in a row.
This old as fuck, what's next? "The making of Symphonie no. 9 with Beethoven deconstructed" ?
Demar DeLowry dont you wanna see how kanye produced dark fantasy? This shit old too but a classic. Appreciate it god damn it
we're trying to book him
@genius SAVAGE
Hahahahaha
Demar DeLowry LMMAOO
Still didn't mention the bay area inspiration that's why he shot the video in the Bay !!!
Khyro Sound yup HBK sound
Y'all don't know how much this songs brings me back to
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW HOW THIS BEAT WAS PRODUCED!!! Thank you so much Genius!
It's interesting how easy it is to produce music in a DAW like FL Studio compared to how hard it is to write and maintain such software. The people that are behind the software itself, the people that empower the producers with DAWs and plug ins never seem to get any props or attention. I've been on both sides of the fence.
so simple
@ABN Carloo And yet so effective. lol
Yeah I gotta go listen to this track again after this video
Would like to see him deconstruct "I'm on one " that song made my high school
Everyone saying this is late but Genius wasn't making these videos all this time. I'm glad they did this cuz that means they're probably gonna revisit more older songs and how they were made. So i'm stoked.
yeah yeah
Bruh this song was fire back in the day. It still bumps 🔥🔥🔥i was waiting patiently for a new Deconstructed video to drop. This is the best series on RUclips.
When Drake was really Drake
this song is so many years old
+BeatsByAllenD so r u
o shit u just roasted him
We'll see you in 2033
Bright stars no u
Hyphy music had passed by time the motto came out. & The first thing I thought of when I first heard DJ Mustard was that he had a lot bay sound.
can't believe an 808, some snares, couple of open hats and claps could become such a HUGE hit!
Genius in simplicity
Great session. T-minus you stay killing it!
This deconstruction is very long overdue. Straight classic 🔥🔥
“When the motto came out, hyphy music was on the rise. I think the motto really helped gear all that music to rise as well” My guy “Tell Me When To Go” by E-40 & Keak Da Sneak came out February 1, 2006 (when the hyphy movment was at it's peak) The Motto came out pushing 6 years later. The world really got the bay fucked up. I’m hot. People keep stealing our shit and putting us on the bench like we ain't create it.
I love when they go back to old beats too. Best series on this channel imo
loved this song omg bruh
Been waiting for this
the 808s always went HARD
Genius should do full length album breakdowns
Finally getting Drake shit I was wondering. Favorite genius series.
yo tminus makes the biggest fucking slappers man i swear...this beat is hard as fucking nails and always has been
Much love to T & Genius for the shout out!
that Bill Gates beat always blew me away. Felt awesome to see T-Minus recognize the artistry there
Ridiculously underrated track
This is one of the first songs to really use the filter effect aka "the mike will effect" before mike will. Also the 808s were much different back then
The Bay needs to be a major hitter in the game I know ppl here got potential to dominate the charts. Bay Area and Bay influences sounds took over early 10’s. The south really outshining everyone right now. Fun fact, Zaytoven from the Bay
Please deconstruct Swimming Pools and I'm On One T-Minus, those beats are still crazy
Something uptempo and simple? Fuckin NAILED.
Forever a classic
@2:45….mentions the producer of TNLU. 😮
We were waiting for this 🤤❤️
genius beat. way ahead of its time
a whole vibe rn
I miss 2011 too
Why Is everyone saying that this video is a little late. The idea isn't just to deconstruct new popular songs it's to deconstruct timeless so that other producers can pick up the techniques and see how a piece was put together. Why does it matter how old the song is? If it was good it is good
Genius
He definitely got it wrong when he said this song helped hyphy music rise up, it had already been up since Too $hort, E-40, etc. Also, rack city is not hyphy music.
Is it just me that after watching all the deconstructed vids can hear the layers of songs when listening to music. Like I can hear the snares and stuff now more when I never could😂
even when i didnt like drake back in the day, always loved this song because of the beat!
I loved this beat the first time i heard it. 🔥🔥🔥
I see Drake, I click
ScarlettP simple as..
Normie as shit
D Ravines ur so unique
Nigga dis is 6 years late
all i got from this is: it does not matter what sounds you have, its how you use em. Dope!
this is old as shit now..but shows good music is timeless. This still sounds fresh..
Not heard this song in years, thank you 😍🔥
Those were the days bumpin' this and Rack City in the car after school 🔥.
This studio so simple and after long time I saw this type cool thing ❤
timeless .
Do a deconstructed on Witch doctor by hopsin!
Now thats genius..
all time classic made in 30 minutes
Such a simple nice beat
The 808 is the melody
Used to replay the track continously...
T Minus definitely one of the top producers in the game.
T minus is dope but to correct him hyphy had been around way b4 motto came out
He said he was inspired by hyphy to make The Motto, so hes not wrong
A deconstructed video of Famous Dex 'Pick it Up' would be dope
YEARS LATER LMFAO THIS SONG A CLASSIC THO CANT LIE 🤷🏽♂️
So simple but so great
This producer made a banger
140 likes and 0 dislikes! keep up that ratio guys! love these videos so much!
learn so much from it :)
No melody that's crazy 💣💥💣💥💣
Classic......Timeless
The simplest beats are the ones that blow up because hits are written, not produced. That beat alone is pretty decent but it's drake's delivery and lyrics and melody that made it poppin
I just noticed he put the snare on the first bar wtfffff
Deconstructed :
Any Kanye beat
I'd love to see moment 4 life or champion deconstructed. He's dope.
inspiring me once again. 🙏
Simple but groovy 🤙🏿🔥🔥
Best simplest beat For ever
Ya need to make "goosebumps" deconstruction asap
I'm always this late when I go to school
When he said there was no effects on any channel, I fucking lost it!!
I was more familiar with the Taylor gang GFU remix to this beat than the original song, but still this beat is a classic IMO good job genius
Producers need more recognition!
God Bless you! A classic.
I dont care about the song being old like some of these other folks in the comment section are, but this one was real simple. Let's dive into the other best beats he made for drake that were actual amazing and seemingly complex
the echoing claps make the beat.
That beat slaps good shit homie!
snare clap and oh are the most memorable part of this song
do gucci gang next !
