JID - Can't Punk Me used this flow and lemme just say, I love how Mazbou teaches mysic theory like this. Really simplifies everything and the demonstrations are always on point. Keep up the good work G🙌🏽
I hope music theorists see this and start to wonder why their classist asses are not talking more about it as one of the biggest developments of music in this century
Pretty big generalization you're making about a bunch of people you don't know. But I agree in part. I tried so hard to get my music history professor to understand the musical and rhythmic merit in a few Kendrick songs. It didn't really work 😅
@justaguy328 Rap vocalists that are highly skilled, use different rhythms and polyrhythms to the beat, the beat is just baseline thing while the part that makes a rap song technical is the rapper.
it’s just cool to see shit broken down like this and actually explained… and then an example. Absolutely great. Personally one of the main reasons i love rap is because it’s like the words them selves take you on a journey, not just with what is being said… but how it’s being said.
This isn't a rap thing. It's rhythm. And if rappers actually practiced like this guy rap would actually be good. This guy studies his craft and it shows. Coming from a drummer
Every music genre does. Music in general is a multifaceted science/art. That's why I've come to appreciate/respect nearly every genre I come across, in some shape form or fashion; even if I don't particularly enjoy every, or nearly any aspect of whatever song belonging to whatever genre.
Hey man this is really interesting but I'm begging you PLEASE make a longform video explaining music theory in rap for beginners. It's a fascinating subject and I'd love to start writing but I don't understand the basics! There's plenty of tutorials online but none of them are by you, and you're the best at this particular section of music theory. So PLEASE make a longform video explaining the basics. Like I'm nine. Thank you!
I refused to listen to the new era of Hiphop but now, I have a profound respect for it. Never thought about the rhythmic aspect of the art. Opened my dome piece. 🤯
LOVE using these bar breakdowns and implementing them into metal drums. Your explanations are always so smooth. Rap cadence has always been such an inspiration for me in how asymmetrical (for lack of a better term) they can be
No idea how you break it down like that but I do delivery patterns from just thinking of sounds like a horse galloping then putting words in that pattern.
(The cerebellum is not where you pointed at though. For now, not sure if the cerebellum per se has anything to do with beat perception either but we’ll have to get into it. 😅 Just a mistake I think, but bro I love your content, it always makes me think in different ways, they don’t spend a lot of time on this in the music theory videos I watch; it pairs great with my songwriting journey, I wanted to thank you for that)
When beat makers and rappers make music do they consciously do all of this on purpose? Or are you describing after the fact something that comes naturally to the human ear? Probably a mix of both depending on the artist I assume?
This is why people completely miss the talent of some VERY influential lyricists. Theyll hear a rhyme pattern like this, miss that its actually a lot more unique and next level elite skilled, and then they ALSO miss the fact that every other bar has three meanings, and sometimes THOSE even rhyme. One person who has gotten incredibly more technical over the last 30 years, is eminem....and sadly because it isnt in your face, brain dead simple....people entirely miss it. Can you break down some of ems more recent rhyme schemes and lyrics?
This stuff is cool hypothetically, but IMO deciding on a pattern arbitrarily like this just doesn't produce good results most of the time. Musical exploration is important to understand what's possible, but most of the techniques I see from Mazbou make me think _but _*_why_*_ tho?_ What purpose does "subdividing into 6", "grouping by 4", "displacing the rhythm", or "adding another 3/4 polyrhythmic layer" serve if those are arbitrary choices not informed by the beat or subject matter?
@@seventoast there's a lot here to unpack. The first thing I'd say is that all creative choices are largely arbitrary - how the beat may 'inform' one person is not how the beat may inform the next person. I break my flow into elements so people can hopefully understand enough to hopefully expand their creative palette. A lot of the time, people can recognise complex flow patterns when they hear them but are unable to reproduce them later on when they want to, because they don't actually understand them. I'm showing them how. But it's up to the individual to experiment and try the new thing then decide for themselves if it works in their context, or not. There is really no ultimate purpose beyond "cos it might be interesting and it might sound cool". It's art. Also, YT shorts are 60 seconds, even if I did want to go deeper into the "why", it's not possible here.
I hope this content gets seen by the "rap isnt music/takes no talent" crowd because this is one of the craziest advances in modern musivc. What the fuck 😮
in mainstreame music, this would be great for a small little hook to keep the listener engaged. Dont do it for the whole song. It will only attract nerds.

Music theorists already study rap flows. They’re as rhythmically diverse as a jazz drmmer
It's amazing how much a rap piece becomes a master piece with your lessons.

still can't get my mind around that rap music has their own entire science. this is hella lit ngl
it's called rythm

Hey, I've got a course for exactly this. Link on profile.
This is absolutely bonkers. Thank you for sharing these tips so often, while simultaneously promoting your AMAZING music.
@@goldenstarmusic1689 I appreciate it!!
I'm a music major and never thought to think of rap in this way. This is amazing
Bro that was the quickest poly rhythmic knowledge download. Cerebellum tickled!
I fucking LOVE these videos

It sounds so simple when executed, but when diving into it it’s so complex. I love it
Insane genius and clarity yu got.You are just awesome.Already subscribed!!!!This is RAP University!!!!
Hearing you do this doesn’t just tickle my brain it baffles it 🤯 that’s so cool
Prog rap is something i've never considered before but its so cool

Mad props and respect!
Thanks for showing us a little bit how the magic operate.
You are amazing. I wish I could get lessons with you
I do 1-on-1's! Hit the lnk.bio link in my profile 👊🏾
tickle your cerebellum is hella accurate that shit had me looking confused but happy

That sounded like an Earthgang flow🔥🔥
Damn, this is far more complex than I was able to even understand!
🔥🔥🔥
Bro, you're so sick with this 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@livelifeentertainment I appreciate it 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Unreal!
🤯🤯🤯
Aesop Rock used a similar flow in parts of Acid King off Malibu Ken, really cool stuff
I heard someone once said "Nah, not dont like rap. Too advanced" or something along those lines.
I am so glad this video is a living proof of that.
Yoh 🙆♀️😭🔥🔥🔥
jid used this on cant punk me 🙏
the first pattern yep but not the second
Drake ghostwriters need to subscribe to you!
JID did this on Can’t Punk Me with the “it’s a girl, it’s a child, it’s a boy” lines
@@itzven yep! The same pattern as my first two bars
JID did it on his verse on "cant punk me"
my flow in the first two bars yep, not the second two
hey maz id love to see you analyse norman sann that dude has crazy flow.
Yo! I never noticed you have a speaking accent 😊
This reminds of a lot of Brazilian rap songs that use this rhythm, it's very funky 😅.
you can also hear this on cant punk me - jid
JID- can’t punk me does this too!
This guy has 23rd Century level knowledge of rap. Amazing!
I’ve heard jid do this flow🔥🔥
Freddie Gibbs is great at this technique.
I was waiting gucci gang lol

I couldve swore you were doing a song by lamb of god, the drums in most of their music follows a very similar rhythem

I haven't listened to J Cole yet, but I feel like he would probably use this flow.
Could you break down E-40 and Blueface's flow? People think they're offbeat but it doesn't feel offbeat to me
God damn. I’m going to use this to teach maths some day!
kendrick lamar type flow, holy shit
bro just solved fermats last theorem
Could you do a breakdown of Aesop Rock's Side Quest or Hot Dogs?
SUMMON ONCE HUNDRED SKULL!!
Is there a software like your visuals? Would be nice if there is
Doing it is easier than how it’s explained.
@@ChoppaGRecords-v6c what did you find difficult about this explanation?
