Making Beats with Marco Polo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- In this week's episode of "Double Barrel" Tuesdays, Marco Polo invites you into his world of production. Sit down with Marco Polo as he constructs a beat from start to finish. For all aspiring producers, listen to the detail that goes into his craft, as he searches beyond just looping samples from a single vinyl, and truly goes into the crates using the likes of six different songs, that have nothing to do with each other key wise, and makes them work harmoniously to create a final beat.

bro is one of the best ever. Them cig and blunt rubs on the MPC says all you need to know. The man stays working and doesn't care about the gear. Just music.
2022 and this video still rockin' 🔥✌️
he is so underrated!!!
marco is still one of the best...pushing his music scince "port authority"
yo that bass in the end was so sick!!!
Well to put it as basic as possible, he was talking about extracting small sections of different songs and recording those onto the mpc so he can mash the sounds together in a creative way and make 1 beat.
that mpc has some miles on it
because its marco polos mp
it looks like his MPC has been smoking for 30 years
@@gepetto8899 the amount of smoke landing on it in this vid alone, makes sense lol
sun has that pure talent
PROPS, that's next level shit with the multiple sample sources, sometimes I'm just far too lazy to look for more then a couple different sample sources but when you got like 6 different sources, and it's a sick beat, you got somethin to be proud of.
thisman right here...his room his sound...IS HIPHOP IN PURE FORM!
AWESOME!!!!
sick man
"I don't have a method to my madness" spoken like a producer with true talent, love it all straight hip hop
JrA
POLO needs more behind the scenes , this is exactly how I do it as well. And it's reassuring to see someone as dope as he is do it the same.
I like the fact he is hitting notes through the mpd and mpc because sometimes its easier to get that rhythm on the pads than lets say a keyboard or keyboard style controller ...plus its saves money !!
Dope! Marco has true talent in making some of the best beats in hip hop history.
my artist name was marco polo, then i realized someone had already set it in stone.
great work!
this video never gets old for me marco be goin on his beats
are those samples or something? I cant comprehend this greatness!
He says it on the verse for the Kids in the Hall album. check the listing, it also features Sean Price.
marco polo is sick. port authority was a great album, i'm so glad i found this video
I would love to see a Producer's battle between Marco Polo vs Timbaland! just thinking out loud!!
that's the way a MPC is supposed to look (nice & used) Boom Bap 4 Life!!
Cha!, the infusion is hypnotic, crate dwellin is an art, & busy intellects spawn the youngest minds shaping a generation, you my friend represent a dying breed of those who beautifully join synergy, a classic backflash forward tailored ready to volcano & sear the masses....Unique & gully, keep lookin at em in your rearview yungn .........you foggin em out & leaving clues - while most learn from textbooks
Marco my dude your a freaking genius! That beat is hella smart.The best video with the mpc Ive seen on youtube yet!
ILler than ILL. I love love dis man. I gotta get out dem samples after watching dis boy chop it up.
Genius!
He's Steve Kerr of Producers the specialist known to hit those shots.
He makes the beats like magic
finally!!! sombebidy keeping it real on snares and kicks!!!!
love this guy. Keep these types of videos comin' - DUCK DOWN!!!
sweeet....i liked the mpd+organ towards the end
hell yeah. i got the 2kxl and i recently bought the mv8800 the beginning of january and i can't use that machine at all. i'm gonna hook my mpc back up and get busy again. the 2kxl is all i've known for the last decade or so..
On the MPC it's not fully midi it has analog parts like pre-amps and audio ins. You can record a loop in through there. The newer MPC's you can do that or drop them via usb
I think Marco Polo is one of the greatest beat makers, you have inspired me alot!
He is very open. Thanks 😊
That's nice. Great skillz, wish we could chill and 420 here in the 802 with ya. Holla if you get up to Burlington, VT. Peace
need to make more of these man
I watch this once a week, to keep my inspired!

Inspiring. He makes it look easy. Sick vid.

Michael Rapaport would be proud to know that someone who looked like him was actually doing something worthwhile
this dude is amazing, and hes a very cool dude i met him at juno fest in calgary a whle back

@SynthRiot
du hast doch echt n schuss..Das ist Samplen.Das ist der Ursprung der Hip Hop Kultur! Und Marco Polo ist einer der wenigen Hip Hop Produzenten von Heute der wirklich eigene Substanz hatt und Kreativität zeigt..
Marcos super dope, hope he lives long enough to make more beats.
I love his work..Great beats!!
that's what a true musicians work space looks like
4:25 he went crazy on that one ! fire
This was inspirational!!!!
THANK U!
Kudamah repn Trinidad!
The album is just called Titanic s/t. I can give you he song title in a bit when I get home. It's the groups 1st record. It's kind of rare.
I love this culture.
Thats Fire , keep em comming brah.
2:58 shit gets real. That beat is mad nice.
DOPE!!!
maaan, marco is too dope!
Crazy ! Sick beats
Wow at the end when he starts messing with the synth off the pads he just made me a believer. Kill them pads homie, your sick!
-MAyhem
Nostalgia by far his best beat
at 5:09 you can clearly see that hes on an mpd. hes got his computer on, and i was wondering if anyone knew what program it was running.
If you're talking about the drums he samples at the start of it, they're from a group called Titanic, from Holland.
DOPE AS HELLL!!!!!!!!!!
sick video! love the beat and the info!!.. keep rockin
wow, great video man, keep it coming
SO HELPFUL
Many people sleep on the MPC...Well let me tell you it's not what you use to bang your beats it's your ear that's what makes a great producer Marco Polo has a great ear for 90's Hip Hop that I'm a great fan off but with the music changing you have to keep up with hip hop music evolving.
Definitely gave me some knowledge and ideas
4:36 Marco is always with a cigarette lol
Sick ass beats, he should produce a lot of mainstream songs.
Reason 4.0. and probably Recycle for that blue wave in the background, and i think he got another program on the background, but i can't figure it out what program his using, but it seems something like Ableton Live or Logic Pro.
by the way i'm Portuguese, so sorry if i write something wrong.
Peace!
dope!!!
jammin' by himself for hours? you know i can fcuk wit dat dedication
dope
it looks so easy but its sooooo hard to make a beat. respect !!!
Talent!
@ThisIsCanaryKid For me its the personal interaction and hands on activity that brings my creativity out. Oh and its fun. In the end though it doesn't matter what you use its what you make.
Very Inspiring thanks for posting!!!!
I feel ya man. I like to make beats much the same way, and I can relate to your problems with your neighbours, lol:). Oh, and yo style's real thight too. Keep it up!

it all starts with the head nod.
Once you get that its on!
