I just got really sad because I realized the greatest beat of all time was probably deleted forever by some producer who just wasn’t feeling it at the time.
The 3 old friends of mine and my cousin saved all of their old beats, and some absolutely horribly mixed songs. My cousin has a song from a group of people he rapped with in high school (2013 maybe) he had a song called “Victorious.” I tell him it’s still one of my favorite songs by the group. He won’t let me listen to it again, and I’m salty. I have memories to that song.
Wondagurl mentioned in a breakdown video of "no favors" that she too wasn't feeling the beat because of how simple and quick she made it. I personally love listening to the instrumental rather than the song 🔥.
I’ve felt like that before! Put in work on a hot beat, You’re telling yourself this the one and artist is like cool.. then a quick beat you throw together niggas like yo! This thing right here brodie!!! Is 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's crazy sometimes that the beats producers don't like are the one's that artists end up jumping on. At the end of the day all beats matter whether🔥 or 💩
The way Kanye chopped that sample for Gold digger made it what it is today. If he had chopped it like most producers it would have never been anything.
Another note, Keybeats who were a production duo who were working under Timbaland, they made “Rock The Boat” by Aaliyah, they were about to delete that as well and she stopped them too.
This is so true. About 20 years ago (During the height of Lil Jon) I made a beat as tongue-in-cheek parody of his, because I hated how simplistic all his melodies were. It only took me about 10 minutes and I was literally laughing the whole time. I even named it PARODY. So a few days later I'm playing my latest beats for my brother, cousin and their friend who all rapped. I tell them I made this parody beat of Lil Jon and play it for them expected us all to get a good chuckle, they go silent and start head nodding furiously like "Yo, that one cold!". They loved it, and I was flabbergasted, lol!
Man, born in 79 growing up with Cypress Hill, Wu Tang, Snoop Dogg, Funkdoobiest, Lords of the Underground and House of Pain (to name a few) I love your detailed "how they produced it" videos from this era. Please keep em coming.
That self-conscious reaction to simplicity is real. I started making beats with a songwriting perspective as before I wrote rock songs, once I ditched that mentality and stripped down the musicality of my beats, they instantly got way better. Less is more! 🙏
I think the problem with complex beats is that we struggle to find the places we should lay our voices on, whereas if you start simple and then make it complex with time but AFTER the vocals have been laid, then there probably would be no such struggle
What I meant to say is that complex beats have their space, it's just that for us to sit better with it, we have to start simple and build it over time, you know?
I feel that, I started off in rock and struggled to get away from the songwriting/complexity issue. Working on an R&B project now and it’s been a struggle keep it in mind.
That's why I been so into the acoustic guitar the last few years. No twiddling with knobs. No picking sounds. It only sounds as good as my playing. It's just pure notes.
@@swagmund_freud6669 that's such a good mentality, I write my progressions and leads on acoustic cause I've found if it doesn't sound good unplugged then it won't sound good plugged in
GTA Online got me into listening to Dr. Dre very recently. No lie, the entire Dr. Dre missions(heists?) were all amazing to me! Best “story” I’ve seen. And hearing Dre, Rick Ross and Anderson .Paak on “The Scenic Route,” and I love it when .Paak sings on the chorus. His voice blends so well with the chorus section of the beat! I heard it for the first time on mushrooms and I put that song on repeat the entire trip.
Man, I read a book about Illmatic and I think Premier and Large Pro switched beats at the last minute, so maybe that could be why, but I agree Illmatic wouldn't be the same without Memory Lane. And One Love and Life's a Bitch were chill songs, but I'm not going to argue with Dj Premeir
the thing is, that i've had to learn over the years.. is simplicity works really well for the artist. it gives them lots of room to put their own flavor and creativity into it. to us producers it seems like it isn't enough or is just too basic, but that is exactly what a great artist needs sometimes. it gives them room to do their magic.
This is the exact reason I never use samples. It's too easy to make fire beats with samples, so I just play everything I use. Guess I should start using samples? 😅 (Nope) Also, they should have added Laffy Taffy to this list. As a producer, I always hated how easy that beat was, and how big the song got from that simple note sequence. Less is more apparently. 👍🏽
Memory Lane is a great example of give and take between producer and artist. And how Nas does have good taste in beats, wanted to use the Juicy sample before Biggie did and premier said no. When Nas performs memory lane live you can tell he loves that shit
A big thank you for this video! I just started making beats a couple of days ago and unfortunately, I have very high standards, thanks for giving us a new perspective!
I’m guessing the Alchemist beat was the Kool G Joint off Murda Muzik. He said that shit was supposed to be an album intro. You could do a whole episode on Havoc, it seems like there’s a direct inverse relationship between his liking of his beats and the public reception of the end song.
@NavieD Genuinely is. When I feel like each part is near completion or if I'm adding stuff just to hear something different, then I take a break. Once they're finished, definitely need a good break.
@@Phosphor_Sco good lord do I feel that. Whenever my projects go live I make my social media posts about them, tag whoeever the feature is if it's a collab and then other than sharing it again every once in a while don't go near it for a good week or two so my brain can go back to liking it. I typically do like my songs, I just always need the break to appreciate what I've made
great video, had no idea Primo hated Memory lane, one of my favs off of Illmatic, But it's worth to add how Dre's Deep cover gave birth to Big Pun and Fat joes Twins, a far superior song in my opinion. Btw , great job with the recreations :)
that's probably because rappers look for different things than producers, it's easier to get a placement with an 8 bar loop copied and pasted than with a 3 section beat. And that's because it's easier to flow over a beat that doesn't change that much as well as when you make more sections or put more sounds it's more likely that some of them the rapper won't like
Great vid and I like how you shift the direction of your content. Interesting fact, Big Pun & Fat Joe also used Dre's beat for Twinz. Talk about trash to treasure.
Another beat that the producer hated was Tyler, The Creator's Yonkers track. Tyler said that he purposely made the beat sound like a trashy New Yorker beat, and he ultimately didn't like it.
@@stevesamplingmusic Underground means no TV play. This was the golden era of hip hop. It may not have been in the forefront of popular music but it definitely wasn’t underground.
producers over focus on doing difficult stuff, but these artists often need simplicity. J Dilla (the master of course) made many his beats under 15 mins and I'm not saying be like him, try to be a master of 15 mins simple perfection, he's a genius, forget impossible standards, but what can we learn from that? if drop by pharcyde was made quite quickly after Proof gave Dilla the sample, what does its ay about the power of going w what feels right. My best beats personally, to me, ones I'm glad I made, weren't ones I logged days and hours weeks in, ones that just came together in a few mins of starting. It just feels natural. No need to overproduce.
Funny thing is... I used to HATE that Realest beat by Alchemist too lol. I got older and I appreciated the simplicity of it because it gave a lot of space to them especially Kool G Rap to spit a first verse
I'm glad you came around to realizing that the fireness of this beat. Cuz you and Al were buggin out not liking that beat! Not gonna lie. 😄 Always said that Kool G spit one of his illest versus, if not the ill is verse when it came to just straight raw spittin on that beat.
I remember watching that Alchemist DEHH interview YEARS ago and that particular segment stuck with me. As soon as I saw the title and thumbnail I knew you had it here 😂 brilliant video idea
This was a great video. I have to be reminded often by friends and artists that only other producers care how you made the beat. You can loop something with no drums added and if the rapper likes it, it’s a go. You can also chop a sample to a 1000 piece puzzle and nobody will care. 🤦🏾♂️. Just make a tight beat and move on. Ohh and you “from scratch” producers who don’t sample, people don’t care if you played a vi-ii-iii-v-I chord progression with a synth that you designed from a sine wave layered with a wavetable oscillator 😑. At the end of the day, just make something you like 🤷🏾♂️
I totally get why timbo hated that beat and also why missy wanted it. More rigid and simplistic than most of timbos shit but the fact is timbos worst ten beats are better than 90% of everyone elses shit.
It’s always the simple beat you completely made in 10 minutes that 9 out of 10 rappers will gravitate to. The beat you spent all day on and used every trick you know to make it dope is the beat they skip over after listening to for 10 seconds and tell “yo, go back to that other one” which of course is the one you pretty much made real fast with your eyes closed. Lol
Do you know how many fucking time you listen to a beat you are making? You basically listen to it the amount someone will in a month or two within like a day
'The realest' go crazy ! I like when Madlib used that sample for "Clean Up" bro broke the "rules" with the way he looped it lol Madlib notorious for not liking his own beats chosen by artist😂
This is real af it's always the easy stuff that gets attention I jus find that stuff boring like if it's easy to make there isn't enough there to make me say "oh shi that was nuts" I've noticed that a simple approach to music appeals to normal people way more (there's a real difference in someone that lives in new sound vs someone that isnt look for that at all)
Your videos are great! Here’s something I’ve always wondered about Deep Cover: The Piano stab might be from the Isaac Hayes song Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic (that’s actually the title lol). There’s a piano breakdown near the end of the song and I think that’s where the piano is from.
Honestly, you should make videos just showing how famous beats were made, these really give insight in how those legendary producers work and which rythms/sounds they use.
It's funny that you posted this video, cuz for the first time since I started making beats last year, I finally made one which I don't like. I'll still put it out there tho. One man's trash is another's treasure, you never know.
I used to work for a rap label making beats, they also would use the beats I slapped together and abandoned because i wasnt feeling it. They were like, hey finish this its fire, I was like ugh really? I would copy paste a 3 minute loop and call it a day, make the adjustments in post production.
See that’s how u make old school beats. The way u recreated the beats. Sounds legit and that’s what I respect. As Most of the drums, bass etc were samples. Idk but for me I dislike when producers on the internet say “how to make a 90s style beat” but they using trap style drum packs instead of samples.
I was wondering why most of my earlier beats sounded like early 90s production…it’s mainly cause if I couldn’t get a sound I’d sample it on a phone speaker 😂…still do actually
Wait, does the Serato Sample standalone for FL have the Studio features? My Serato plugin for Logic is still the same basic ass version from when I bought it a couple years ago. Ive been waiting for the update with the Studio features for a while now, damn
For Memory Lane the Ruben Wilson sample starts at the 0:21 of the song not at the part shown. Please don't take this the wrong way bruvs. I'm just pointing it out.
Normal Producer after spending 10 hours on a track: "It's too simple, I hate it!" Kanye after spending 30 minutes on a track: "I put a drum loop over an existing song, IM A FREAKING GENIUS!"
The dr dre bass synth on deep cover very well could be a moog but I believe its from the Studio Electronics Omega 8 synth which I know he used around this time which is also an analog synth very similar to a Moog but had 8 voices. Its what he used to create that classic "west coast/G-funk" sound...
I’ve made like 100 beats back from 2015 to 2019 and only like the beats I’ve made from 2021-to now 😂 no cap 🧢 tho the best beats probably would never be heard or used take RUclips for example thousands of beats uploaded a day
the onley thing i hate in music is the "glass marbles" hat roll / the cockroach sound hat roll , and the "tambourine without zills" snare sound ... yes its the modern and the mainstream that you hear anywhere and you can not avoid it at all ... the modern EDM rap/rnb/pop that makes fl studio the most hated daw in the planet
lol posted once a sample on Looperman (back than as SuperStellarMusic) because i just did not like it at all, so why not giving it for free to someone else. Guess what? Nardo Wick used it for his song "Knock Knock". Still don't like it.
Literally the intro to dr dre, a simple chill melody, most hit songs start out simple and ramp up, the outro fades back to that simple loop. It doesn't take a master class to go listen to every gold and platinum song and hear how simple it is. The complexity comes in the climax. Thats what people like to hear.
The common theme I'm seeing, most of the producers think the beats are too simple. But sometimes simple is more. Memory Lane is my favorite Nas song. Little did Dre know, the song he hated, change the whole game. btw, I'm a new subscriber and this is very interesting.

Cuz prodigy cooked his ass

I was the same when I started. The path to making beats that are 'acceptable' will be longer for you, but your music will be better because of it
@@NavieD I agree but if you can kill that expectation ASAP. And learn to say ok thats enough and remember vocals will fill the beat out
Deep cover is a banger and im shocked to hear Dre hated it
Really that's crazy given that 1991 felt like it could happen again.
I’m guessing the Alchemist beat was the Kool G Joint off Murda Muzik. He said that shit was supposed to be an album intro. You could do a whole episode on Havoc, it seems like there’s a direct inverse relationship between his liking of his beats and the public reception of the end song.
That alch beat was crazy . And it had Kool G rap!!!! Wow he didn’t like that? Crazy
Kool G Rap's verse is sooooooo damn good
I deleted at least 61 greatest beats of all-time… and another 271 bangers loss from computer crashing

It's funny that you posted this video, cuz for the first time since I started making beats last year, I finally made one which I don't like. I'll still put it out there tho. One man's trash is another's treasure, you never know.
Yeah I think I remember 9th wonder saying that exact thing when sending out his beats
I used to work for a rap label making beats, they also would use the beats I slapped together and abandoned because i wasnt feeling it. They were like, hey finish this its fire, I was like ugh really? I would copy paste a 3 minute loop and call it a day, make the adjustments in post production.
Dre hating Deep Cover is crazy 💀
See that’s how u make old school beats. The way u recreated the beats. Sounds legit and that’s what I respect. As Most of the drums, bass etc were samples. Idk but for me I dislike when producers on the internet say “how to make a 90s style beat” but they using trap style drum packs instead of samples.
I was wondering why most of my earlier beats sounded like early 90s production…it’s mainly cause if I couldn’t get a sound I’d sample it on a phone speaker 😂…still do actually
@@twcyangon119 that’s dope bro. Do u have any beats online? Could I hear.. 😊
Havoc hated Shook Ones
Yeah I was going to include that one too, but I already did a video talking about that earlier this year
Isn’t that why he made Shook Ones Part II? 😂
Love the vids Nav keep em coming. Always loved your work as a producer 🙌🏾
Cool video, you earned a sub! Do a part 2 if you find out other good examples too! :)
Dre probably didn’t make that beat
Wait, does the Serato Sample standalone for FL have the Studio features? My Serato plugin for Logic is still the same basic ass version from when I bought it a couple years ago. Ive been waiting for the update with the Studio features for a while now, damn
Deep cover is an iconic beat!!
The way Navie remakes these beats like nothing 🤦🏻♂️
Not liking gold digger is crazy
For Memory Lane the Ruben Wilson sample starts at the 0:21 of the song not at the part shown.
Please don't take this the wrong way bruvs. I'm just pointing it out.
Please do a Daringer explanation
@Navie D - how do you do your beat remakes?
What's the process?
I love "the Realest", "Memory Lane", "Deep Cover"🔥and liked "Gold digger"...
ALMOST CRIED WHEN YOU DID THE REALEST MOBB DEEP. ONE OF MY FAVE BEATS OF ALL TIME
Normal Producer after spending 10 hours on a track: "It's too simple, I hate it!"
Kanye after spending 30 minutes on a track: "I put a drum loop over an existing song, IM A FREAKING GENIUS!"
Great vid as always 🤜🏾
Glad you liked it boss!
The dr dre bass synth on deep cover very well could be a moog but I believe its from the Studio Electronics Omega 8 synth which I know he used around this time which is also an analog synth very similar to a Moog but had 8 voices. Its what he used to create that classic "west coast/G-funk" sound...
I’ve made like 100 beats back from 2015 to 2019 and only like the beats I’ve made from 2021-to now 😂 no cap 🧢 tho the best beats probably would never be heard or used take RUclips for example thousands of beats uploaded a day
Never delete your beats.
the onley thing i hate in music is the "glass marbles" hat roll / the cockroach sound hat roll , and the "tambourine without zills" snare sound ... yes its the modern and the mainstream that you hear anywhere and you can not avoid it at all ... the modern EDM rap/rnb/pop that makes fl studio the most hated daw in the planet
lol posted once a sample on Looperman (back than as SuperStellarMusic) because i just did not like it at all, so why not giving it for free to someone else. Guess what? Nardo Wick used it for his song "Knock Knock". Still don't like it.
Literally the intro to dr dre, a simple chill melody, most hit songs start out simple and ramp up, the outro fades back to that simple loop. It doesn't take a master class to go listen to every gold and platinum song and hear how simple it is. The complexity comes in the climax. Thats what people like to hear.
A famous drummer from old school said this: "It is not about beat per minute, but FEEL per minute"!!! Stay tuned bro 😎🙏
That alchemist beat is so fire such a dope sample
The common theme I'm seeing, most of the producers think the beats are too simple. But sometimes simple is more. Memory Lane is my favorite Nas song. Little did Dre know, the song he hated, change the whole game. btw, I'm a new subscriber and this is very interesting.
Drum pattern insane on the Missy record
