Original? A four count? The thing every fucking band ever has done to start songs since the beginning of bands. Philharmonic orchestras do a four count, as long as the song in in 4/4
@@lmmmlfulthat’s cool and all but he specifically said that it’s an original way to have a PRODUCER handle, instead of having a vocal one. But keep being angry
No its a 4 count and the sound is also the start of the beat so it goes one more time but thats just actually the first sound of the beat as well. Does that make sense? Like he uses usually the bass line sound to make the 4 count and with Happy the bass is the first sound so its not a 5 count its just that the 4 count ends and bass is the first sound of the beat.
I knew that was it already I make music myself just was doing a lil bit of trolling I guess 😭. It's deff 4 wit the 5tj being the start of the actual beat/song
That would be true if the high hat didn’t hit on the first beat so happy is a 5 count i had to listen to it 100 times to see if i was trippin and the only reason Kendrick beat isn’t a 4 count is because the last duh lingers technically making that beat a 5 count as far as measured and time goes it starts with 1/4 notes the last duh is a whole note if my band experience serves me correctly
@@henrycavillsrealmustache3553Na, it absolutely makes no sense because that bass sounds exactly the same and I'm counting 5 of the same sound no matter how you explain that.
lidos producer tag is one of my favorites they’re like little musical easter eggs if you know what it sounds like. best example would be on colors by amine!
@sofrshsocln4 The only reason I figured out was because I viewed the producers and was like, "Oh Pharrell produced this?" I didn't know until some youtube short said the 4 count was his voice
Korean producers literally go next level cuz they insert their name at the beginning of the song lol and it sounds good! Check Gray, Giriboy, Slom among many others
Fun fact even in songs where he isn’t the main producer but still has some influence, he would add his four-count, just not at the start (like in SKELETONS)
The beat goes dum dum dum dum and then the beat starts hes repeating the begin of the beat 4 times so when you hear the fifth dum think of that as the point of the beat starting. If pharrel didn't add the 4 dums the song would still start with one dum
This is why Pharrell will always be on the next level. His signature can be used on any song regardless of decade. Lex’s sound has a time period stamp. This is not to take anything away from Lex, but to point out the subtle difference that makes Pharrell one of the greatest.
Pharrell is def a top 5 producer

Lex luger really a founding father in the whole trap production scene man inspired alot of the sound we hear today
ALL FACTS BRO !!!! Lex made everybody want a tag !!!!
Nah
Great wrestler too
African-American Producer by Night, White Wrestler by Day.
What happened to him
Lex Luger is so underrated man…the real 808 mafia
He doesn’t get the credit for inspiring Young Chops sound and the whole Chicago drill type beat
He got black balled a couple years ago. Real ones still fuck withem tho. Thats what counts for some
TRUTH
Lex and Southside
Facts
Lex be charging up the beat with that synth crescendo!
Real
Mannn Lex Luger had them 2010s years in a choke hold! the man is a legend! produced massive bangers that go hard till this day
I think having a musical producer tag is a lot cooler than the regular style. Only a few typical producer tags sound good to me.
I like a fair amount of em
"It's not looking good for us"
"In one mile, turn right on garden avenue"
"I'm working on dying"
"Wake up f1lthy"
"Bnyx"
"808mafia"
"Jetson made another one"
"If young metro don't trust you, he gon shoot you"
"That be maaly raw"
"B-bighead on the beat"
"Ginseng"
"Hella sketchy"
"What do you desire?"
"Yo Pierre you wanna come out here?"
All sound good to me
knxwledge has my favorite tags
Mustard on a beat, ho!
Yeah, I'm curious which ones you feel ARE the good ones?

Pharrell comes from him being a legit musician. Playing in a band or group, someone is gonna count of a measure so everyone starts at the same speed
“ dat nigga Lex Luger “ tag is what really inspired all the new tags today like metro etc
I cant agree with that brother. " This a Nitty beat" started the tags if im not mistaken

Def one of the best

This was a dope breakdown! We need more Pharrell AND Lex Luger!
I've always LOVED breaking down music styles, chords. riffs, beats, vocals, and melodies like this. Thank you for the clip!
Lex Luger had a legendary run 2009-2015 you couldn't tell me he wasn't the hardest producer out at the time.
he sort of took scott storch's place, which is why music on radio sounded like recycled edm trash.
the lex songs on cabin fever felt like the hardest beats we ever heard at that point
Yeah not so much….it literally all sounded the same…it ain’t trash but it wasn’t evolutionary…

Lex Luger influenced the trajectory of my life. Literally in my recording studio in LA right now because of how he inspired me lol
Lex beats go fucking hard.
Lex Luger is a legend for that intro tag alone, defo caused impact, everytime in a club that beats drops is 🔥
FACTS!!!!
What?! I didn't know that, that's actually a very original way to put a producer tag, Pharrell also does that on "Down in Atlanta" with Travis
Also on flying high by travis
Original? A four count? The thing every fucking band ever has done to start songs since the beginning of bands. Philharmonic orchestras do a four count, as long as the song in in 4/4
He also does it on cash In cash out. Wtf I only realized that after I watched this short

Both are legendary producers from the same area in VA. 757 stand up!!!
Lex Luger was ahead of his time a true trap pioneer
The Lex tag always been good in the streets. Shit is hard
Idgaf what anyone says "CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM" is one of the best tags of recent years, gets me hype as fuck when I hear that tag
BMF still one of the best beats ever produced
That hard in the paint beat is 🔥
Lex made sum killerz
Hands down Pharrell is my favorite producer
He’s made in IMO one of the most corporate songs ever and one of the greatest songs ever aswell. Mans in the soectrum of music
Lex created all the best beats to beat someone's ass too😂

Luger low-key a legend also ! Of this newer era ! Pharell been one of the goats ..
Neon Guts def my fav by him also some of his songs from the movies he's done
I feel super dumb for never notiving both of these. Luger rly inspired most of the trap beats we hear now. Dats crazyyy props to bro fr
Bros talking to his wall lmao
Lex Luger one is so cool
Lex sits on Mt Rushmore 😂😂
NEON GUTS is a great example and one of my fav songs!!
That was a hype ass lesson.
I had no clue that was the crescendo was a producer tag but that makes so much sense, man so many songs had in the early 2010s
Both from the 757, gotta respect it
Glad somebody knows
Never knew that riser was a producer tag
Lex had a legendary run
“I THINK IM BUG MEECH!” ✋😭
All those beats played, music to my ears.
Am I crazy or was happy a 5 count?
4 count. The song starts with the 5th
Anyone who’s downloaded a trap drums kit knows lex lugers tag haha
lidos producer tag is one of my favorites they’re like little musical easter eggs if you know what it sounds like. best example would be on colors by amine!
Yessir!
Why isn't he looking at the camera and acting like there's someone else there? Lol
It's a DJ's dream if every song started this way it's literally counting you in
These mf’s are just talking Wikipedias at this point 😂😂
That synth riser for Luger is a default sound effect lmao it might come stock with FL Studio or some popular free beat pack
Lex Luger was my entire early 20s 💪🏾
Y’all ate on this one
Yes and it’s fucking genius because the song instantly gets stuck in your head
Pharrell is up there with madlib and metro
Madlib da goat no cap
up there with metro? compare him to producers like Jdilla, Dre, Kanye, but metro is stretching it…
@@jyoon1111 your acting like metro is better than Kanye and other ones you listed, metro is like bottom tier if thats so
@@Emily12349that's crazy talk, metro is an incredible producer too lol. Is he on their level? Not yet I think, he's hella young after all
“Up there with Metro” nah Metro ain’t up there with them 😂

You already know who it is 😂😂
Yoo that wind up always gets me hype. Can't believe it's a producer tag
the intros can make the song better and you keep listening to it
I definitely always knew Alex Luger tag.. it’s hard to miss it but I never noticed the 4 loops with Pharrell. Good shit !
he did it on neon guts by lil uzi as well
Pharrell is probably the best producer
If young metro don’t trust you…
@@LittleOoozie metro ain’t got shit on p
also shoutout icytwat
@@LittleOoozie bro shut up
Kanye is the GOAT.
madlib
My favorite Pharrell production will remain as Mr Morale because instead of music, Pharrell uses kendricks voice as the 4 count
I just realized that. Sounded more like Kenny's repeating but this makes sense🤌🏽
@sofrshsocln4 The only reason I figured out was because I viewed the producers and was like, "Oh Pharrell produced this?" I didn't know until some youtube short said the 4 count was his voice
This is genius that you even noticed
The lack of looking into the camera in this video is unsettling.
Just like cash in cash out😮😮😮
Lex Luger was obvious… Pharrell I had no idea
Neon guts lil Uzi
I believe that it is a real podcast and he really said everything in that manner 👍
sometimes producing really proves to be some other dimension type sht bc who even thinks of sound like that period 😂 so undeniably talented !
Korean producers literally go next level cuz they insert their name at the beginning of the song lol and it sounds good! Check Gray, Giriboy, Slom among many others
Hot summer is my favorite beat of all time
A literally just watch an 18 min video of Pharrell 😂. The lex luger was obviously, Drumma boy does the same thing
5,6 and 3 counts
This is a really good music related short
Fun fact even in songs where he isn’t the main producer but still has some influence, he would add his four-count, just not at the start (like in SKELETONS)
But happy had 5
I got 5 as well . Dum dum dum dum dum ‘it might seem crazy what I’m about to say’
The fifth was the start of the song. Same with alright by kendrick
the last is the start of the song, the 4 is separate from the first note of the song
the fifth was different
The beat goes dum dum dum dum and then the beat starts hes repeating the begin of the beat 4 times so when you hear the fifth dum think of that as the point of the beat starting. If pharrel didn't add the 4 dums the song would still start with one dum
This is then the Signature move of 50% of all producers
Lex Luther’s I’ve heard seemingly hundreds of times and just didn’t know it was him but Pharrell’s kinda tripped me out that’s cool haha
Lex Luger don’t get enough credit. That man is a God tier producer
Pharrel's signature is sophisticated and cool, it fits most songs, unlike most
It's a time signature. Early EDM artists in the 80's started this.
Bro not talking to nobody 😂
I love the producer tags that are iykyk
Many producers do this, not just Pharrell
Lex had a tag as well but that sound was definitely signature for him
It’s cooler to think of something unique for every situation
This is a common practice in production one reason is it gives the rapper/singer a cue as to when to start their lyrics
Man’s eyes are about to pop out of his head
And they are both from Va. Lex actually went to a HS from my town. Respect VA artists
This is why Pharrell will always be on the next level. His signature can be used on any song regardless of decade. Lex’s sound has a time period stamp. This is not to take anything away from Lex, but to point out the subtle difference that makes Pharrell one of the greatest.
