That's my cousin! I sent him your "G Thang" Mini-Moog video as soon as it dropped and next thing I know he tells me he hit you up and he's gonna be on your show!! As a long time watcher I am EXTREMELY happy that you guys linked up to do this! (p.s. I too had my mind blown when he said it was done on a SY77)
This is true. As an engineer In NYC back in the day (before Pharrell blew up as an artist and "the face of" versatile pop R&B production) Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo were the young, edgy but super nerdy production duo, aka The Neptunes, behind a lot of pretty grimey hiphop like Capone-n-Noreaga, NORE, ODB, early JayZ etc. Nerdy in that they really knew the gear, the tech, how to get great sounds, super musical writers, and of course how to make great beats. Also in the furry boots and a tank top in summer kinda way. Which was a funny contrast to thugged out Nore at the time. Never woulda guessed they were behind the hard beats. Respek
This is true. When it comes to making actual hits its that extra 10% of shine put on the instrumentals that makes the difference. The vocalist can have all the talent in the world but the instrumentals are the difference between a big hit and a passion project done in someone's bedroom.
I started rapping in 1991 and making beats in 1992. That Chronic album completely changed the sound of rap no matter what area you are coming out of. I am from DFW (Texas) which gets slept on as far as Hip-Hop history, in my opinion, so it was nice to hear the D.O.C. gets his respect as well as MC Breed. D.O.C. stands for dirty Oak Cliff, an area of Dallas, which is also where Stevie Ray Vaughn is from! I loved this interview and hearing what gear was used in production.
I remember reading Colin´s name in the Chronik Cd - booklet and I imagined him as this seasoned, older musician and now seeing him for the first time, he looks younger now than I pictured him. What a great interview !!!
This song probably had the biggest musical influence on my entire life. Since I was a kid I always wanted to recreate that G funk high pitched sound, and over the years have always looked out for a good tutorial. To see the original artist come on and break it down is a dream come true for me. I truly appreciate both of you guys and the way this came about. Thank you.
I've been watching and reading a lot about Dre, the G-Funk stuff, viewing all the DJ-Vlad-Interviews... But this guy hardly anywhere shows up and now we know he's in the core of the art. A Producer for the Producer Dre.
One of the reasons I love this era, is to be blessed to see these two talk about the magic behind classic records they were apart of. And break down the intricacies of the makings.
This is hilariously coincidental, because I just picked up a nice used SY77 about a week ago lol. WILD stuff- I NEVER would have guessed it wasn't an analog synth like a Minimoog. I bought the SY77 cause I'm falling in love with some classic "romplers" from the music of my childhood in the late 80's/early 90's. The SY77 has tons of great pads and ambient type sounds. It's kinda hilarious that this famous "minimoog type sound" was done on something unexpected.
WOW! Thank you Colin for shedding some light on how music was actually getting written during that early time period! And Thank You Anthony for bringing Colin on and also establishing and continuing this platform to give all of us some insight into how music was getting made 20, 30, 40 years ago! So many of us were _also_ in bands at that time but were so far removed from the epicenters that we can only imagine how the biggest hits of the period were actually getting created!
It's so exciting to see this channel grow. I'm absolutely stoked for this interview. Thank you for bringing Colin Wolfe in to share his incredible depth and breadth of knowledge.
You and Rick Beato are such relaxed and kind persons that create the right atmosphere to invite very cool guests, and ask them some very profound questions... You make it pour out of the guests and I really like how your channel has grown so fast!
Super dope... I was going to comment last week that you should get Colin Wolfe after the Chronic Moog episode. I see my musical Spidey senses were on point
What a lovely bloke…epic stories…what a super humble dude - I can see why he’s done so well…clearly a pleasure to be around - and what a talented geezer! Sheesh.
In the Straight Outta Compton movie, There's a scene where Dre is recreating the lead on a moog. Funny that it was all actually Colin's work and done on a different synth😂
Yeah the fact Dre was an exec producer on the movie what did you expect. There's plenty of stuff that has been debunked. Eazy getting beaten up by Suge was literally never verified and most sources said Suge would never have dared touched him, the way the police handled their concert, the way Dre got his news about his brother dying ETC. It's hollywood and that's that lol.
This was an amazing interview. So interesting to hear Colin speaking about the behind the scenes writing and mixing process on some of the albums that shaped my youth and helped inspire me to become a musician myself! Thanks!
More like this please Anthony! In this post-tape world things have changed so much. The history is important because what was too familiar to mention back then is missing from the record. I've seen people innocently ask what plugins Vangelis used on Bladerunner. It's easy to mock "noobs" but I didn't truly understand 4-track recording until I read Lewisohn's book on the Beatles' sessions because my use of 4-track was informed by Mike Oldfield-style multitracking. Not so many people remember recording to tape (analogue or digital) or even the MIDI days when it was synths mixed direct to stereo using samplers for audio tracks. Very different to how we record today.
I was never really big on West Coast hip-hop, as I prefer the East Coast texture, but I'm here for this nevertheless! Like he says, good musicians pretty much like everything. Good music transcends its label or what you probably "should" or "shouldn't like".
What a nice interview on both sides! Thanks for doing this! Never knew all this and what's bothering me Colin doesn't even has an own Wikipedia page! How on earth... (I'm no native speaker/writer so not initiating it).
I was lucky enought too watch the video about the dre lead and as i got into the comments i see you reccomend this video...litlle did i know it was already released...made my day bro much love
Listening to The Chronic when it was released I was blown away by the quality in sound and production. This became my favorite hip hop album at the time and made me want to become a producer. Reading the credits of a physical release is where I discovered the name Colin Wolfe. After that I saw his name in the credits of the MC Breed New Breed album. It was a name I tried to follow best I could but couldn’t find much info about this man. Thank you for doing a long over due in depth interview
I’ve never seen Colin I knew of his name. It’s great to see him and hear him speak. He’s influenced so many people it’s crazy. The string patch on the Yamaha sounds like an ARP string sample. Anyone else hear that ? Thank you so much for your channel!
Glad to finally put a face with the name…. Seeing his name in credits of all my fav records back in the day definitely a person i wanted to learn frm…. FINALLY
Mr.Marinelli you cover great subjects !! From the sounds chosen in your tutorials to the interviews to uncovering famous sounds on famous albums. Amazing stuff thank you :)
Colin is that dude please interview Chris The Glove Taylor he introduced Dr.Dre to the Moog, ARP Oddessy, Rhodes intstuments and produced Stranded on death row, Dre day extended remix and co mixed the Chronic with Dre
Great episode, thanks a lot!! You often see dissections of the West Coast Hip Hop sound talking about the beats and the p-funk samples, but such a huge part is the musicality and the musicianship of the extra live instruments. Aside from Colin Wolfe, there are 2 names that basically pop up on all my favorite records, and that's Rob "Fonksta" Bacon for the bass guitar and Mike "Crazy Neck" Sims for the guitar. Hugely underrated musicians who defined a whole era of music with their sound!
SO thankful for your content and stories. There are so many "influencer" music creators and not enough behind the scenes real deal people. Your passion exudes through the screen and I hope you know you are inspiring a whole other generation. Bless!
I remember telling my uncle back in 2004 that G Thang was Dr Dre’s best song/beat. The bass for me is what made this beat so great. I learnt a lot watching this episode and enjoyed it very very much. Thanks you.
I've been with you since the week you put out your first MJ video 3+ years ago and am so happy to see your channel grow, although it's not surprising, the content is incredible and just keeps on getting better. This video with Colin Wolfe is fantastic. Thank you both for sharing the details. So insightful.
Love when you talk about liking everything, and playing all kinds of music. This idea is what our channel is all about. We play anything and everything, From Noise to Classical and everything in between. We have a song called Funkajazzreggae that mixes all these ideas. It was actually all recorded using a Yamaha SY85, with its 9 tracks, in 1993.
Lot of great takes on this video. 1. Learning how collaborative Dre was and how many people are part of his production/music. As a producer sometimes we want to do all the work and get the sole credit. Seems like you get a lot further with a staff/team and trusting in others. 2. Learning how diverse and open minded musicians are. I feel the same way. I enjoy different genres and feel it expands your ear, mind, and mental capacity of music. The preproduction process is like an empty canvas before the art. Love the video 🎬 thanks for sharing.
This is Dope!! 💯💯 I love these videos about the ghost people behind the tracks. Too often people think of the rappers but the People who made the songs are awesome
I remember seeing Colin’s name in the credits of The Chronic album. Along with Efil4zaggin, my approach to hip hop production starts primarily with those two albums. By the way, let’s give much love to the original musicians who played on the Leon Haywood song. I know that Wilton Felder laid down that killer bass line. He also played the iconic bass line for “I Want You Back” and “ABC” by the Jackson 5, as well as “Let’s Get It On” for Marvin Gaye. He’s a great saxophonist too and a member of the Crusaders.
So fascinating to hear and I love how you point out the limitations of the technology of the time. And also so great to hear from a musician who was there and worked on it but most people (including myself) had never known about. Thank you Anthony! Much respect Colin!
Dear Anthony, amazing episode! Please also do consider an episode on Dr Dre’s 2001 album. Some amazing synth, bass and guitar work on that one too.. maybe try to get Scott Storch or Mike Elizondo in the studio?
Wow never heard of him before.Amazing interview and major props to him and his accomplishments and contributions to The Chronic and other Projects.Thanks
This is historical. I have shared this to get it out there Anthony Marinelli you are inspiration and are a big part of my new synth journey. Salute and love from Australia ❤
Such a dope interview! Thank you for sharing this history with us..the stories..love them all. Great job bringing more life to all of these classics. Music is not studied enough, so 1 and done these days.
I recall seeing a photo or video of Dr. Dre in his studio with a MicroMoog in early 90s, so I always assumed that's what was used on the Chronic/Doggystyle (along with digital keys/samplers).
What a GREAT interview and sharing! So full circle, the Dre record was around the same time we did the Apple TV commercials with you and Brian for BBDO. In 1990, BBDO had Yamaha and launched the SY77 synth which came out in 1989. GREAT STUFF!
Awesome Anthony!! Getting to the source, I love it! The only thing I would want to hear more about here is the sociopolitical aspects of this music making. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like to be making music in the cultural / timing with NWA / Dre. The messaging is super complex on a macro level. Love hearing about the synths, but would love to hear more about the challlenges of the scene / world at that time to get a better taste of the whole picture. The gangs, drugs, police brutality, Rodney king, the racism, Hollywood etc etc - all that stuff seems like *really* important part of all this music.
I had a great time spending the afternoon with Anthony , looking forward to doing more with him in the future
Yo Colin... how big of a part did Chris "The Glove" Taylor play in those NWA and Death Row albums?
I hope so, doing some sound craft tutorial videos would be a dream 🙏 or releasing a sample packs on his website would floor me for sure
Anthony brings the real people to his channel Colin, cause he is the realest on RUclips! Cheers
We had a great time spending our time watching you both. Legend
There's no DARP, no GFunk without LBC's finest Colin Wolfe!! Facts.
That's my cousin! I sent him your "G Thang" Mini-Moog video as soon as it dropped and next thing I know he tells me he hit you up and he's gonna be on your show!! As a long time watcher I am EXTREMELY happy that you guys linked up to do this! (p.s. I too had my mind blown when he said it was done on a SY77)
Picture a guy that worked on Thriller and a guy that worked on The Chronic in the studio sharing stories… dope ass episode 💯🤟🏽
This album and Doggystyle are the best roadmaps for coming up with hip-hop melodies, period.
8:33 Putting the vibraslap sound on his hands while he's still trying to remember what is called is a class edit. ❤😁🦭
i love how behind every gansta rapper there is a big nerd
This is true. As an engineer In NYC back in the day (before Pharrell blew up as an artist and "the face of" versatile pop R&B production) Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo were the young, edgy but super nerdy production duo, aka The Neptunes, behind a lot of pretty grimey hiphop like Capone-n-Noreaga, NORE, ODB, early JayZ etc.

Good knowledge
This guys like living in my brain. He just keeps getting people to do these videos about exactly what I’ve dreamt of for 45 years.
I remember reading Colin´s name in the Chronik Cd - booklet and I imagined him as this seasoned, older musician and now seeing him for the first time, he looks younger now than I pictured him. What a great interview !!!
I've been listening to this guy my whole life, first time seeing him. Legendary!

It's kinda hilarious that this famous "minimoog type sound" was done on something unexpected.
My first concert was that Hammer tour so I must have seen Colin Wolfe live. Didn't know he worked on Chronic. That's cool. Childhood memory enhanced!
I tried to get a ticket in Birmingham, UK, but Sold Out. I was about 10 I think hahahha
same!
WOW! Thank you Colin for shedding some light on how music was actually getting written during that early time period! And Thank You Anthony for bringing Colin on and also establishing and continuing this platform to give all of us some insight into how music was getting made 20, 30, 40 years ago! So many of us were _also_ in bands at that time but were so far removed from the epicenters that we can only imagine how the biggest hits of the period were actually getting created!
That vibra-slap percussion is so iconic in g-funk! DJ Quik was another producer that used that thing heavily
amazing background stories and all the music I bought and still listening to these days ! ❤
So many observations. Firstly, thank you for this insight. Such an incredible discussion - not a single word was wasted.
no Cap .. I just packed my 77 away !!! digging it back out soon !!
It's so exciting to see this channel grow. I'm absolutely stoked for this interview. Thank you for bringing Colin Wolfe in to share his incredible depth and breadth of knowledge.
You and Rick Beato are such relaxed and kind persons that create the right atmosphere to invite very cool guests, and ask them some very profound questions... You make it pour out of the guests and I really like how your channel has grown so fast!
Colin Wolfe pure genius and certified legend! 💎💎Thanks for this Anthony.
This is GOLDEN HISTORICAL INFORMATION!!!!! Thank you!!!
Super dope... I was going to comment last week that you should get Colin Wolfe after the Chronic Moog episode. I see my musical Spidey senses were on point
20:49 “Frolicking” ! Outstanding!
I just discovered this channel yesterday and watch all day long. Incredibly insightful and entertaining.
What a lovely bloke…epic stories…what a super humble dude - I can see why he’s done so well…clearly a pleasure to be around - and what a talented geezer! Sheesh.
Mr Marinelli is a true gentleman and great host in educating music and production.. Big up Colin Wolfe.. respect coming from London UK.
The universe is crazy. I was JUST looking for info on the Moog and The Chronic last week.
I remember seeing his name in the credits of one of my CD copies of The Chronic years and years ago. Glad he's doing good.
My God, I can’t beleive you’re doing this. 100 miles & Running was my misspent 1991 soundtrack
In the Straight Outta Compton movie, There's a scene where Dre is recreating the lead on a moog.
Funny that it was all actually Colin's work and done on a different synth😂
Yeah the fact Dre was an exec producer on the movie what did you expect. There's plenty of stuff that has been debunked.

I was just thinking about that
This was an amazing interview. So interesting to hear Colin speaking about the behind the scenes writing and mixing process on some of the albums that shaped my youth and helped inspire me to become a musician myself! Thanks!

THE LEGEND Colin Wolfe 🐺Great interview A.M.
When I saw your G Thang breakdown I thought “man, you should really have Colin Wolfe on” and here we are! 🤘🏽
Thankful you did
Fascinating ! What a privilege to hear it direct from Colin Wolfe !
Mr.Marinelli you cover great subjects !! From the sounds chosen in your tutorials to the interviews to uncovering famous sounds on famous albums.
Amazing stuff thank you :)

Phenomenal! This music changed my life. Thank you Anthony!
This is Dope 👨🏿💻👨🏿🍳👨🏿🎨
What a great interview, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to hearing Colin's new music!
Another great video to look inside the music. Thanks Colin and Anthony!
Sweetness ! The SY77/99 deserves to be up there with the Yamaha greats. Those who know.., know ! 😉
the bernie p funk synth lead and bass sounds ... one of the days ... PLEASE AWESOME SIR.
what an absolute gem of a video thank you
Great content as usual. Lifting up these artists with your platform is pure class
Thanks Anthony, always wanted to know Dre's studio equipment, Colin is the man!!
This is Dope!! 💯💯 I love these videos about the ghost people behind the tracks. Too often people think of the rappers but the People who made the songs are awesome

He is right when I went to suburban school it made me interested in rock like Van Halen,Def Leppard,and Led Zeppelin 🎤🎧🥁🎹🎸🎵🎶
So fascinating to hear and I love how you point out the limitations of the technology of the time. And also so great to hear from a musician who was there and worked on it but most people (including myself) had never known about. Thank you Anthony! Much respect Colin!
Dear Anthony, amazing episode! Please also do consider an episode on Dr Dre’s 2001 album. Some amazing synth, bass and guitar work on that one too.. maybe try to get Scott Storch or Mike Elizondo in the studio?
don't forget Camara Kambon
Wow never heard of him before.Amazing interview and major props to him and his accomplishments and contributions to The Chronic and other Projects.Thanks
Thank you so much for all that you do on this channel, it's so very inspiring and insightful.
Gratitude 🤝🏾
Incredible content Anthony. Loved The Chronic growing up.
This is historical. I have shared this to get it out there Anthony Marinelli you are inspiration and are a big part of my new synth journey. Salute and love from Australia ❤
Such a dope interview! Thank you for sharing this history with us..the stories..love them all. Great job bringing more life to all of these classics. Music is not studied enough, so 1 and done these days.
Own a SY85, because of the SY77 we used in 1990. Still have the SY85 and a TG500. Love them both. Thanks for this.
Thank U Mr Wolfe for the insightful look at how masterpieces were made !!
musical innovator !
19:32
I posted this exact thing on your Moog Chronic video, I told you it was a SY77
You knew!
amazing video and thanks to Colin for all the great music
What an amazing human being, thanks for sharing this!
Thankyou Anthony. Your show is the best. Normal people talking about special things.
Just awesome!! Thank you so much to both of you.
I recall seeing a photo or video of Dr. Dre in his studio with a MicroMoog in early 90s, so I always assumed that's what was used on the Chronic/Doggystyle (along with digital keys/samplers).
Go! Anthony, educating the world, demystifying knowledge!
Nice job Colin was awesome.
Anthony, your videos are often a masterclass of music production, keep going!!! ❤❤❤
yo' you tha shit!! man i lov ur page! positive vibes ur whey n keepem coming!!
Wow, I didn’t know I needed this today. Thank you! Just finished my record today and this totally gave me special perspective.
Wow there is so much info in this interview, Super Thank you!!
Very nice.
Thank you for sharing this.
This is a pure gold.
Fantastic insights into the process of making this legendary album ❤
What a GREAT interview and sharing! So full circle, the Dre record was around the same time we did the Apple TV commercials with you and Brian for BBDO. In 1990, BBDO had Yamaha and launched the SY77 synth which came out in 1989. GREAT STUFF!
Dope interview sir! You got my subscription 💪🏾
Unbelievably dope to hear this behind the scenes 🤯
West coast flavor! Thank you for the chance to better understand a classic from my coming of age.
Those simple little sounds changed hip hop music forever. The chronic is probably still the greatest rap album ever
This is unbelievably cool! Thank you so much!
Was just talking about this production with another producer last week. Many many thanks. The Universe is in sync.
Awesome Anthony!! Getting to the source, I love it! The only thing I would want to hear more about here is the sociopolitical aspects of this music making. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like to be making music in the cultural / timing with NWA / Dre. The messaging is super complex on a macro level. Love hearing about the synths, but would love to hear more about the challlenges of the scene / world at that time to get a better taste of the whole picture. The gangs, drugs, police brutality, Rodney king, the racism, Hollywood etc etc - all that stuff seems like *really* important part of all this music.
