Man I’m so glad that I found his channel this dude needs to be protected at all cost
🙏
@@ConductorWilliams Khotso (means peace in Sesotho -a Southern African language). Just wanted to let you know your videos (which I discovered today) are impactful to me all the way here in Johannesburg.
Just really want to wrap up what I’m doing for work so I break out the iPad and get busy. More blessing by a and opportunities to you. ✊🏾
Fr! Best youtube channel
Strongly agree
In my 30s I was obssessed with the idea of "making it" with my music. I stopped doing it because I enjoyed it and just started spamming emcees with beats. Managed to get a couple of beats with an artist who was on Stones Throw at the time and produced most of an album for a well known, underground UK emcee. Thought that was gonna be it. And then...nothing. Nothing. Music came out, comments on the tracks were all about the emcee, hardly anybody mentioned the producer (me), and nobody else approached me asking for beats. I got down, really down and ended up giving up on it. Few other things happened, got married, had kids and beats were fogetten.
Recently started producing again but I don't post anything anymore. It's just for me now, for the process.
Trust Yourself
Take it as a hobby and don't push yourself if you're not feeling right into making music.
For example:
I've removed all my 20 finished songs in my hard drive by accident - 2 years spent which I can't take them back. It is what it is. Shit happens but the family is a top priority for me.
what album
Nothing wrong with creating for your own pleasure.
Keep going make the music you wanna make
Don't see many established producers give it up like this. Thats why you winning glad all the hard work paid off for you looking forward to new music
I thank you fam
“CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM” Best producer tag and you can’t change my mind.
Much love conductor williams, you are part of the best collective of artists from the last 10 years GRISELDA RECORDS.
I can relate to this. Finding yourself as a producer is so important. Staying true to who you are as creative. Salute 🫡
gotta do your own thing ya know-- following your light can be tough sometimes but gotta keep going
@@ConductorWilliamswe see the movement homie !
Love the shoutout to DeadEndHiphop, great channel
Conductor always watching Martin 🤣🤣 salut
conductor you are the goat bro fr
Man you really doing it, you building a community that rlly loves you and what you stand for/represent. The utmost respect 🙏🏼
Respect family.
as a young producer I really look up to you, you're a big inspiration to me🙏🏽
Thank you fam--stay in your studies, continue making the music you like!
can't overlook or overstate how these videos are as much of an art form as making beats, and seeing you come into your own in developing your youtube style is just as inspiring as the stories you tell within the music. keep that train rolling!!! 🚂🚂🚂
I started producing around 2014-15 & took it very seriously until about 2019 when I decided I wanted to switch industries. Fast forward to present day, I am coming back to production & just bought an MPC Key (just shipped!). So finding this video just gave me so much inspiration.. thank you. - just wanna say I found you're sound through Griselda & couldn't be more thankful. You're RUclips channel alone is a blessing in disguise. Much love CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM
peace fam-- let me know how you like the mpc key. Ive been thinking about it, I really dont need it but it seems fun.
You are VERY inspiring, man. Thank you so much for posting this kinda content. Abundant gems 💎
No doubt family-- thanks for tapping in legend.
Wow! Psalm One! Been listening to you since you came through Columbus, OH and stayed at my dude's (parents') house 20 yrs ago(?). Good to (digitally) see you!
@@nilespeshay1734 lol that totally checks out. Howdy 🤗
@@ConductorWilliams ✨🙏🏾✨
Wow frfr, identity is a major key to great music. I was in the kenny beats beat battles and I kept making beats the way I liked, placed top ten 3 times, kenny didn’t like it, but I kept making it, then a year later someone from the kenny beats discord hit me up completely fanning over the beats I made, and one particular beat in general he wanted me to send it to him. That particular experience completely changed how I view my listeners and helped me realize should make beats how I like ‘em.
Once you identify what and who you are, NOBODY can change it-- continue to make the listener adapt. Dont conform.
Incredible beat, you’re a monster I’m so glad I found this channel, im 26 been making beats since I was 16, I’m just a fan of the craft and the ones who really love it
Yo the old tube in the back is a tell tale sign of greatness… Salute Conductor 💪🏾💯
That joint been with me for the past 15 years!! Its staying!!
@@ConductorWilliams 🤣 I can dig it
Can’t believe you have this channel, artists of your caliber are so valuable. You’re the first person out here when you talk about producing I completely get you it makes sense. You speak my language. Thanks for the inspiration
4:36 that beat should be called modern-day wild wild west
Every producer should watch this. I've really never heard a producer talk about the disorientation of "I didn't know what I was", and being nearly exploited or their style nearly ruined because of it. WSG and the movement over the last 7-8 yrs or so really is bittersweet for many of us who were told that the style that flashed into the industry in like 93-96 could never come back in a new, fully living form, but ultimately it's a triumph and I salute you. I'm not sure how many I speak for, but I really was at an oversaturation point with sampled beats until you came and added some fresh, "unorthodox" ideas that felt very alive. Perfect for Rome, WSG and more.
This is my DUDE!!! Nothing but inspiration. Being yourself and doing what you love is true success!
absolutely
i have to watch each video twice cuz first time around i just be head nodding to the beats 😂
😂😂🔥
amazing advice still trying to figure out my sound but i’m gonna follow my gut more often
You got this! Just gotta spend some time in the basement
Started in 2008 and didn't get a break until 2018...Bro that makes me keep grinding🔥🔥🔥 I'm on a similar journey, I hadn't got my break...but it's coming one day soon.
gotta keep going fam
Crazy how ive found conductor at this time in my life
Im on a mad spiritual journey and my guy talking like this is a blessing for me 👊🏽 love from 🇬🇧
Man, that video was so crucial... I'm at this point in which it feels like it's impossible to make money with the music I like/make. But if the alternative is making bland commercial songs, I'll rather do something else...
respect
Such an inspiration!! Def know what u mean regarding identity.
Was at a Rome Streetz concert few weeks ago, everyone was chanting "CONDUCTOR, CONDUCTOR..."
Onwards and upwards from here!!!
Your honesty is amazing. And being so upfront in your videos is only gonna be worth it in the long run, it’s building a great community of people.
Conductor, you are such a vibe bro. You make me appreciate my own personal skillset and ear for music. My shit is niche af, and a lot of people dont like it, but the ones who do love it. Thats what its all about. Thank you for sharing all your insight.
Thanks for sharing the importance of finding identity
Thanks for always sharing your insight and wisdom with us. The music community is in such a positive place thanks to you.
🙏🙏🙏
I felt like you were talking to me directly. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerable story, I'm glad I found this channel.
My guy said DEHH, you real af for that man. These videos mad inspiring love from Ireland
Love those guys
I love the philosophy of this channel. I just subscribed. been making music since 97 used to run a mpc 2000 xl and ran my synths and drum machines through it. quit when i had my kids, came back to it in 2013 and went on to make some records and play summer festivals prior to covid. I got back into making tunes with ableton live, love the format but i miss the mpc in so many ways. this channel reminded me why i enjoyed using the mpc as a sampler. even just to build ideas away from the computer. just the fun of it. Im looking into picking up an mpc one for couch sessions, or sitting outside on the deck or when traveling. i Produce funk, soul, disco vibes, french house and drum and bass grew up on hip hop, and my moms old soul/ motown records and my dads classic rock records. electronic music got me into funk, jazz, and disco. what i love about sampled based music is it teaches us about the past, and eventually we want to learn from those who created these sounds . sampled based music will always get the listener to dig deeper and find where the sounds came from, then they end up listening to that older music alongside the music they may have heard it first sampled. I love that. the new pays homage to the old and allows growth and inspiration to the new. as a musician i tend to stay away from sampling more so these days so that i don't have to clear samples. But that doesn't mean i don't still dig crates , and sample for the love of it. for the learning from the old masters. I always tell people that even as a musician sampling is a great way to learn, because when you sample and add a synth line, or a guitar to that sample or drumming or what ever one plays its like jamming with people. like taking a time machine and getting to play along with great artists, learning from them and taking that lesson and growing as a musician. Just found your channel today. watched a bunch of videos and feel inspired. thanks for doing what you do, and sharing your chill philosophy and vibes. from one musician to another Much love
Much love, and I appreciate the pure energy. As a person that used to make beats, I gave it up based on the same things you just addressed, to only find out 10 years later people like this style. I wish you the best, and keep doing what you love. I will start making it beats again after hearing your craft!!!
At your own pace family. God is good-
smoke break is much needed
Ngl your setup is cozy as hell, I'm jealous
Its super random but it works
Hell yeah. I appreciate how real you are. Love these videos.
Just seeing this. Hella inspiring how focusing on your own musical resonance was what led to your success rather than conformity.
Bro you have changed my whole approach to making beats.
Fantastic!! Keep going 🚂🚂🚂
I met some rappers that thought I was stupid for learning to count bars.
Bar count is essential.
Finding beats is like dating. It’s all about finding the right artist to match it and then it’s perfect. Every great artists has a producer that tailor makes music that’s just suited their style that nobody can bring to life but them.
5:34 this the one 🔥
Absolutely. Gonna let Rome hear it this weekend
@@ConductorWilliams I can already hear him spitting on it
just so yk you have my favorite producer tag of all time like sometimes i listen to griselda just to hear that and not the actual song ☠️
What god has for you no man can stop you’re an inspiration my brother Conductor we have a problem!!!!!
I’m a producer from Cincinnati, you are a dope inspiration. I had a RUclips channel a few years ago where I was dropping beats on there crazy, but when my page got shutdown it made me lose motivation. I’ve been going hard on the beats and finally realizing my beatape because of people like you out here. Glad I found your channel
Whenever I Hear “CONDUCTER WE HAVE A PROBLEM” I’m immediately on the edge of my seat. I Really hope to hear you on gunns new project.
🙏🙏🙏
Peace Conductor ✌🏾🚂🚂🚂🚂 happy Father’s Day
Thank you brother
Bro this content is worldclass
🚂🚂🚂
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Quitting is not an option, stick to your craft/tool.
Salute family
@@ConductorWilliams Peace family.
These videos have helped me a whole heap, I can relate to your personal journey.
Keep doing you, this beat is stupid btw!
You speak for the souls of so many artists man. I can't express in words how much you mean to this industry
Beat goes stupid! Another classic brody.
This is really dope. I love those moments when you hit the right spot and go nuts. Those eargasms if you know what I mean. Those moments are precious.
Much love and respect.
the reason i even do it!! its the feeling of love
One of the best and most honest videos ive ever seen. So inspired right now by this era that is from another era that is THE era pushing through. Big up brother! 💪🏾✊🏾
You got to have fun, music is subjective.
great take--
i'll cut the monologues one after the other as an audiobook...a smokebreak smokebreak for my mind
🙏🙏🙏
Happy Fathers Day Fam keep droppin them jewels
You got the dopest sample selection man
Focus on yourself and the rest will take care of itself ! Stay blessed!!!!
You’re the definition of inspiration, thank you Conductor for your transparency fam. 🤝🏾
no doubt!
Thanks for sharing! Powerful advice!! BoomBap will never die !
conductor out here creating a beautiful community bruh, crazy to see these comments double every week. keep up the fire shit man we appreciate everything u put out there🫡🙌🏻
First of all Salute to you having Martin on the TV.. I STILL watch this show.. lol
Conductor you’re me and my friends fav producer rn. Thanks for these videos
The people in the industry almost destroyed my love....glad my love perservered...now i do it for the love...and whatever happens...happens.
That bop tho…lol..I be doing that same thing talking to myself on how parts fit….👍🏾…you gotta have fun with it and smile
gotta have fun!
Maaan, Conductor… this is a gem of a video right here.. You are the epitome of putting your head down and pushing through.. As someone who recently stopped making beats, this is one of those videos that needed to be seen.. Thank you 4 Sharing, King!🙏🏾🔥🔥
Listen to your body. Talk to plants. Ignore people.
Absolutely!!! Gonna press it to vinyl get new cover art done now- added some new tunes and gonna re load to dsp. Soon
It's a long road and even if we don't travel far our feet still get dusty.
🔥🔥
Watching you head bop while you cook up reminds me to do one thing most of all... HAVE FUN DOING THIS MUSIC. I was told the same thing being from Mississippi... "That Boom Bappity shit ain't it." That's the era I came up in and that's all I know or want to know. If anything I'll update my formula from time to time but the raw element will always be prevalent. Salute Conductor. #MidwestStandUp I'm originally from Chicago.
Middle of the map we here!! 🚂🚂🚂
Love it.. your advice, energy and inspiration is priceless✨️🙌🏾🙏🏾💜
Thank you so much!
@ConductorWilliams No, thank you so much, frfr🙏🏾🙌🏾✨️
My biggest inspiration and motivator as an artist! Thank you for your service Conductor! 🙏
Conductor we have a problem! Mayne I hope one day you get to make an OST for a film and thank you for the content fr. Discovered you thru Griselda your one of my favourite producers and you deserve your flowers
Dope video Great advice until the next one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I needed to see this!…just started my music journey 4:26 full time ….keep going hard!….work with you soon! 🤘🏾
I’m a huge fan of your work! Salute.
Salute. Thanks for the love fr!
Conductor we have a problem... conductor you have a solution
🙌
Wow! Thank you for the encouragement brother! Great video.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great video. I was given similar advice from friends that make music. They used the software. I always wanted to use an MPC because that's all I used to see my favorites doing in The Source Magazines. I started late, but it's because certain artists and then producers like yourself that I make the sample-based music that I love hearing keeping it alive. And it's fun.
thanks for rocking with me and leaving this comment-- very dope. Gotta have fun with it
Yo CONDUCTOR I truly thank U for not only Ur amazing music but all Ur extremely inspirational words of wisdom.I am 50yrs of age & Love HIP HOP music.I have both an Mpc One & a Mac live 2.I
have a ton of albums from all over the world literally.I want 2 be a producer sooo bad.I wish that there were simplified instructions on the Mac one & live 2 for beginners such as myself.
respect. thanks family
You're an amazing communicator, keeping the youth grounded is so important. You're doing God's work
Appreciate you family. I promised that if our Lord put me in a position I would serve. 🙏🙏🙏
I like your production style. You have some 🔥. The LB joint is super dope and would love to see you work more with them. I still use an old mpc 2500 and don’t plan on changing. Managing family and work as well as other hobbies leave me little time to produce. Be blessed.
Assuming you're currently in the KC time zone, I got 8 minutes left to wish you Happy Father's Day!
"Find your, unique, voice and remember that you already have everything you need." I mean, that's it. That's the root/essence. The thing that binds us to our sibling-genre - punk. (I peeped the Basquiat shirt.) Regardless of technique or tools etc. when hip-hop loses that sentiment, it becomes something else entirely. (I sincerely worry that that day is approaching.)
4:00 - I saw a video of somebody (Jimmy) explaining what he likes about producing. He said "I enjoy solving high-level problems." That stuck with me. (Thanks for showing that.)
You're a hero and a champion.
Continued blessings.
You are scaring me drinking over the equipment. 😅😅😅😅
Thanks for making this video. Also, shoutout to Yussef Dayes and Dead End Hip Hop!
this some real shit sir. Ty for your content, loved your merch
preciate you copping the merch family
I use to have one of those tascams, l loved that thing, wish I still had it.
Much love as always Conductor. Thankful for you 💪💪
Came back for thst piano beat
This is dope, I saw an even older producer/engineer say the same thing, it doesn't matter how much time you put in it's about the love of the craft, most careers in the music industry sprout later in life and it's through sheer dedication, talent, and will. God bless bro maybe we can work one day 💯
I'm still figuring myself out as an artist after all these year's... the ride is like a roller coaster..peace to you... 'Conductor we have a problem' 🙌🏾
Keep going. Be kind to yourself
@@ConductorWilliams 🙌🏾
Stay down until you come up!💯
Yussef is such an inspiration.
Conductor forever dropping gems 💎 Peace and Love Brother!
Blessings G
Happy Father's Day. Blessings!
Salute.
Man that beat is fucking insane!!

Topo chico is a top drink of choice! Peace conductor!
