I know what he is saying 100% Myself as a DJ, as beatmaker, etc alot of people never will understand the struggle and thr skill of making music on these iconic machines. The sample time was very limited and to sample you had to speed up the record to utilize the time which was about 8 seconds and to chop a sample was like doing surgery. Ok yes new technology is new technology, but these machines opened the door to the creative flow. As with being a dj the foundation of mixing vinyl and knowing the dynamics of a record is somewhat unheard of, Jermaine Dupri is one of the most skilled people to ever touch an Akai MPC and I can add so many other names to that list that people have never heard of and some have forgot. These videos are a testimony to the foundation of the sound of Hip Hop and Solid Music Creation.
I understand where Jermaine is coming from. It’s about learning the skills and techniques of music production. You develop the techniques, you can do it on anything from the standalone hardware devices to daw easily. I work with the Akai Force and that’s the key to mastering it. Great video
💯%✌ Totally agree... have the mpc x myself... been thinking about buying the force to have in tandem with the X... as for the moment I am currently running DAWless
@@drindy5166 If you have the Mpc X, you really don’t need the Force. I had the Mpc Live2 and had pair it with the Force, but I really like the clip base workflow that the Force. So I sold my Mpc Live2 and the rest of my gear and work with the Akai Force. The Mpc X is really dope and is the only newer Mpc that you can have a old school workflow on it out the box. The Force is something totally different and it’ll take a while before you get a solid workflow on it, believe me. It take me close to a year to really get use to the Akai Force. Thank about before getting one, both the pros and cons. If you still want the Force, then your set up will be op!
@@mikevenus4117 been avidly watching the artist by the name Younger use the force let alone a few break down videos posted. Pretty sure I would get workflow down fairly quick. I thought I was going to struggle with the mpc X, however people like Poli Popo definitely made it a breeze figuring it out. Thx goodness for the internet lol... still learning a lot mind you... I do see the force being a very valuable asset in combination with the MpC X let alone being a beast just on it's own. Probably going to wait it out a bit further as I am still Dawless and down to buy a new PC rigg set up first. I sooo wish to have the Akai Force at some point for sure! 👊🧡👍
@@mikevenus4117 not sure if you are aware, since comments are turned off on most of your videos... "Vibhop" has little to almost no volume. On a scale of 1-10... the volume is like 1.5 (not sure if that was intentional) ✌
Yo bruh long time of fan of yours I played wit some new equipment like the mpc x had a lot of fun wit it even tho it was somebody else's don't be scared of using new equipment on the flip side in my studio I'm building the mpc 2500 is my first drum machine for $600 from a pawn shop I'm old skool to my heart and I want to bring back the real music that I miss hearing from the 90s & 80s that's why I bought the MPC 2500 when time comes I'll upgrade mpc x u will put out another hit have fun working wit new equipment much love to you bruh YOU ARE HIP HOP
That collection of floppy disks is gonna be in a museum one right next to Dilla's mpc one day. Them fools who are sweating you ain't ever gonna have that. You a goat, JD.
I grew up knowing him as a producer. I’m curious to know what else he’s known for that made you suggest he hasn’t gotten his credit. I know he raps as well but as a fan I’m just curious if I missed anything out.
He was doing things everybody else was doing. Not hating but nome of his beats aren't anything peoole hadn't already been sampling. He took what was safe and had worked already then made a beat with it. Kriss Kross is impeach the president and funky worm.
I'm curious how people think early records were made back in the 30s40s50s 😂. Def didn't use a computer/daw. I'd imagine a 4 track cassette studio would blow their minds too. Dupri is a genius and offers a ton of insight and advice on how to succeed in music. People are caught up in the newest/shiniest equipment and think that's what they need to succeed. No. All you need is the desire and work ethic to make the best music you can make. You will find a way Personally I use the MPC One and when I work on a computer I use Acoustic Mixcraft. Most think Mixcraft is bad or have never heard of it. I use it because I've used it since 2006 and I'm comfortable with it and know how to maximize my music with it. Find what works for you and do that.
Yeap JD I am not an all that beat maker but I do know what's you understand the MPC 2000 or MPC X you are good and the thing is they are also a computer a system or a pc unit but its on for music
Why everybody be coming at Jermiane like that, that dude kno what he tlkn bout he literally telling ya he done made hits from the machine(computer) instead a whole computer making beats off of FL studios.
I get what he saying and how he feels but it's a different time and a different style it's not just copied and pasted. It is a good feeling that you can get a vst or DAW that cost less than 1,0000 dollars gear learn from it and make just as many hits. It is also good that there is affordable equipment, learn online how to use it, and come up with your own style.
new equipment just speeds up workflow , so i understand not using that old akai stuff but also get whyt u would feel offended by question..but if you just strated using new equipt. u wont go back . Better workflow
hardware puts limitations on you. for some this is provides the focus you need to be productive. i find i'm creative when i restrict myself. but i'm mostly a guitar guy.
@@Kevinscharthey do you happen to know who plays guitar fur Jermaine ? On BET’s Soul Train Awards with Muni Long on her hit Made For Me? Just curious. Sorry this is a yr late. I’m just trying to track down who it was.
Who made using the MPC the “right” way. This is where old heads fuck up. I used an Roland MV and a MPC 2000xl but now I use FL. I get the same results. Just use what you’re comfortable with and stop judging other people.
Literally just said the same thing Your right. It’s the producer not the equipment. “Worried if I’ll make another hit”. It’s you bro not the equipment 😂
Stay on the old equipment. Since your use to it and you have proven to make so many hits from it. When people listen to the records, they don’t know what you did the song on, so why change? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
He's not explaining anything right. MPC 3000 and 60 are 64 midi channel sequencers and samplers with mbs worth of memory. 60 is 12 bit. 3000 is 16 bit. Most people used them to record midi notes and play/record short samples. They cant do anything else. MPC Live is more than a midi sequencer and sampler. It is a hardware DAW, with synths, plugins, and 8 audio tracks. Plus it has gb worth of sample memory. You can play/record large samples. Record instruments/vocals, etc. All MPCs have computers in them.
Correct but if you want that sound then thats what you still use,thats the problem with music now,everybody is racing to finish a million beats or share a million loops and in the end everybody shit sound the same.That mpc era you would have Dj Quick on a mpc 3000 and KLC from beats by the pound on the mpc 3000,same machine,totally diffrent production.
JD you wasting your time trying to explain the gear to most of these people. I'm willing to beat you that less than 10% of the viewers know how to connect a midi chain of 3 instruments. Believe me it's not you bruh.
Yea you should re word your Comment! 17 Years LA Recording Workshop from MTC ADATS & DAT Machines to 4inch Tape Linking 8 Roland and Emu Racks Via Motu Midi Timepiece this New Era is a Mouse Click Era not every Era because it didn’t exist. Shalom!!
It's not really about the gear it's what comes from your head into reality. Rock Rock once said the same as he he may have all the same sound module's like yall have but it ain't all about that.
Don’t flex on them so hard JD but on the cool Diddy was probably the one behind those comments LOL and he is still running from you he don’t want that smoke on versus with you
My advise is to stick with what make you comfortable, dont change nothing for nobody.Cus at the end of the day probably none of them critics don't even use mpc's or if so they beats is trash🗑or they probably use daws, all in the laptops where its easy to record vocals & make beats, they probably cant even make a hit record on a mpc period smh, when they make a hit then they can tell you to upgrade
Every video I watch with a professional producer or mixing engineer, all you see is people asking questions looking for exact settings on exact plugins that work on every song. The preset generation, no interest in even understanding why you use things
And people really think he can’t go toe to toe with Diddy or even Dre 🤦🏾♀️ this man has HITS!!!!! Between usher and Mariah alone he can go toe to toe with Diddy or Dre. JD actually made a lot of these beats, Diddy and Dre out there touch and input on stuff and slapped they name on it. Not that Dre can’t make beats cus his can but a lot of his biggest hits there were smaller producers under him. Give JD his props. People just don’t take him serious cus he’s small 🤦🏾♀️
3:12 no we don’t need to get more education about how YOU did it thirty years ago. Today, we do things generally the same across platforms but it’s in the box. We not standalone heavy. I started like fifteen years ago entirely in Maschine. Know what I use now? Maschine. I don’t need to get a vitrola and a reel to reel or whatever. We all start how we start HOW we start. We just need to understand THAT.
Concepts are the same, granted the sound coming out the machine may sound different. Jermaine should be able to translate concepts easily being such an experienced producer. Almost blames the equipment like the kid with a “broken” video game controller 😂
Unfortunately nobody cares about you talking about the older Mpc’s. I care somewhat, but technology has changed so much, far as speed of use, Machanics, saving files etc. would of been nice if pre woulda loaded all the songs he spoke about so we can hear the raw cuts. And that woulda been something u have to respect. The talking is what everybody do, but I’m surprised pre didn’t play the songs. Talky talky. He’s such a pro, but it seems he’s stuck like a lot of us producers with talking more than showing
What you have to understand Is that is newer generation don’t know shit about shit I just got done telling a young person the same thing they don’t know shit about shit
Waste of 7 min. Dude needs to just put a disk in and bang on the pads and play the track. Too much talking. This is click bait he did zero "secrets" to producing hit songs..
YOUR CAMERA MAN SHOULD BE EX*CUTED ! WHEN THE DOPE BEAT AT THE END WAS PLAYING, HE SHOULD HAVE MOVED DOWN TO THE EQUIPMENT ! BUT ALL WE SAW WAS OPEN SPACE !

I love that jermaine dupri giving game folk listen he give gems
He is so underated!! That was a history lesson children. What a pleasure to watch. GOAT!!!!!!
So what did he actually teach people ??? Tell me ...
Didn't say a damn thing that's usefull to people that wish to start out.
Such a genius and an inspiration. Easily a top 3 producer of the 2000s and a 90s legends on top of that. Still making hits to this day.
My wife and I have this conversation all the time!!!
shout to jermaine. I didn't even know he was still active. the man is still putting songs on the charts, take that pharrell, timbo, and diddy

Thanks thanks thanks for the lessons... Too Much Creativity... Akai MPC 3000 Le!!! Thanks Mr.Jermaine... No joke...
Namaste Haribol Asewe!!!!
Thanks for sharing and caring JD awesome info
JD is untouchable as producer and songwriter 🎹 🎶… my all time favorite
I would love for those sounds to be released in a sample pack.
Love that he uses the MPC X now ! respect .
Legendary joints!!!!
Well said MPC my BASS and keyboard.
Love the way he used those 808 drums. That's his sound
Great stuff!
Yo bruh long time of fan of yours I played wit some new equipment like the mpc x had a lot of fun wit it even tho it was somebody else's don't be scared of using new equipment on the flip side in my studio I'm building the mpc 2500 is my first drum machine for $600 from a pawn shop I'm old skool to my heart and I want to bring back the real music that I miss hearing from the 90s & 80s that's why I bought the MPC 2500 when time comes I'll upgrade mpc x u will put out another hit have fun working wit new equipment much love to you bruh YOU ARE HIP HOP
Yoooo! I didn't know JD produced Ari Lennox's Pressure song...
bryan michael cox mnice to see him on video ! classic duo b.cox and jd. my favorite 2 producers
It's crazy that JD and Premier use the 60 but have different styles. Incredible.
That is the beauty of the MPC!
Oscar Peterson and Claude Debussy also both played the piano. 🤷🏻♂ It's not about the instrument at all.
Yea, it's crazy someone does something different with the same device, who would have thunk it🤨
@DJ Crisis UK absolutely. It's just that this machine is so linked to straight-up boom bap ny east coast producers/sound. JD works on everything 🙌 👌 👏
And they’re both in my top 10
so basically once he switched to the newer equipment he stopped making as many hits? I'm not sure I understand the secret 😅
Right ?
Mpc's knock Hard 🔥🔥
Mpc swing and groove is the special sauce that was really hard to emulate.
lol
Myth lol
What a mythe ...
That collection of floppy disks is gonna be in a museum one right next to Dilla's mpc one day. Them fools who are sweating you ain't ever gonna have that. You a goat, JD.
I remember seeing a video of him running the Roland mv8800 for confessions 2, damn I guess it’s Mandela effect 🤷🏻♂️
People don't give him the producer credit that he deserves....You are definitely on the Mount Rushmore of producers.
I grew up knowing him as a producer. I’m curious to know what else he’s known for that made you suggest he hasn’t gotten his credit. I know he raps as well but as a fan I’m just curious if I missed anything out.
No disrespect son, but he got his accolades and def is appreciated kid!

No back then they had huge machines of huge ribbons of tapes recording everything.
I remember mixcraft, I used it myself
Yeap JD I am not an all that beat maker but I do know what's you understand the MPC 2000 or MPC X you are good and the thing is they are also a computer a system or a pc unit but its on for music
So the key is 3.5 inch floppy. Got it.
My whole studio is gear I love fl studio I use it as well but gear is my shit!
like mc eiht would say, gear. :D

I understand very well I had a DMX floppy disk I understand very well
It’s back when we used hardware to make beats lol!!!
Samplers are software

Hold up how he get the vocals on the MPC 60 🤔?
I know right
JD str8 cappin… the “Confessions/We Belong Together Era” was 04-06, he went from Akai to Roland MV-8000 until the Live and X came out in 2017
3000 came out 93
DIAMONDS 2
GOLD
I started on hardware and eventually moved to software. Feel like I had to work harder and get more creative on the hardware.....

excuse my ignorance, but how did he fit a song on a 1.44mb floppy? i thought these things had those barely used 100mb ZIP drives in them?
The disc likely holds the sounds and sequencing information.
What secret?
