- During Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em’s viral, instant-classic appearance on The Breakfast Club this January, he made many bold claims. He said he started the internet wave for rappers, that he was the first artist on RUclips, and that he “taught Drake everything he knows.” Despite the rapper’s reputation for stretching the truth, he wasn’t wrong-he did popularize a lot of hip-hop trends. But there is another innovation he had a hand in that he only mentioned in passing during the hour-long interview: FruityLoops.

I never cease to be amazed by FL Studio. Such a breakthrough software!
I was searching the comments looking for you. I know u would be here somewhere
The interface simple
best of the bests
Yes! Especially with people like you helping out.
Hello bhaiyaa 🔥❤️
Crank Dat was made on the demo version of FL studio with all stock sounds.

Wow! Data crazy

Just incredible
This inspires me to fap more

"FL Studio isn't a real producer's DAW!"
Soulja boy: Hold my whole damn career
💯💯💯
Hell yea I use fl studio
And now i know the history behind dope
yongdub1 let’s collab
I love using FL! Nice to know the background behind it.
I use the pirated version, attack me if u want, u ain't making me stop.
@@k1khrolik94 who doesnt nowadays
TrillTheProducer me
I like how genius also has videos deticated to producers
producers are a main part of a song without us songs would not be done, most songs start with the artist listening to the beat
@@dulla8469 as both a rapper and recently a beat maker, half agree with your comment
@@GhostBoytv why half though can u name one modern hip hop rap melodic trap any song without a beat
@@dulla8469 beats are a key part
But most songs don't start with hearing the beat, for me, personally
the fact that porn tetris is part of the FL Studio beginnings, makes me much prouder FL producer!
As a porn addict and Tetris player me to!
I'm astounded and proud of this DAW more so cuz of this lmao
@@shinji1264 Are you on discord?
@@ihateasuka nah
Also the anime girls they have on stock VSTs like Harmor and Harmless
I do indeed remember the days where producers with "real" equipment laughed at people using Fruity Loops. They acted like if you didn't have physical music equipment you were NOT to be respected....ah, how times have changed. Thankful for those who did their thing despite the hate.
Its still like that though... The best beatmakers still use analog equipment, and its a unified opinion among producers that analog sounds beter.
Idk tho man. I see the need for fl studio. But it seems to be what kind of watered down and sterilized hip hop. Their was nothing better than a group like the roots and scott storch banging out beats with real instruments. Or Dj premier on a mpc and cutting vocal samples over it. Their was tactile live interaction with what they were creating. Now beats in 2019 are so uninspired and bland. Everyone uses the same drums. Same uninspired 4 note melody loops. Auto tune. No, funk or soul. I mean you could make this type of shit on a iphone now.
@@PooFace2030 Disagree with some of what your saying (and this is coming from a producer whos biggest inspiration is scott storch). Fl studio just makes everything easier, and it is not too limiting. So this results in people using it that arent too serious or good at music because it is easy. This results in the "uninspired" beats you are talking about. But other producers are able to use this same tool and create absolute masterpieces. While people that use analog equipment are more serious about music, fl studio reaches a more diverse audience, so there is more bad, but there is also more good
Jason B you only think that because 15 year olds can shit out garbage beats with it. But The most talented producers can and do produce masterpieces from it
FL is still just as legit as using real instruments to make music.
its actually kind of the other way around now yeah? Like if a trap rapper dropped a song and tweeted out "ay the instrumental to this new joint was recorded by a live band, its dope" alot of people would not fuck with it
#FLGANG
GAME GANG
FL Studio changed my life 🧡
Soulja boy 0:20 in this moment: YOU ALLLL OWE ME 5%
And he said that in an interview
Jimi He downloaded pitated version so I think they are even
Everyone: “Fruity Loops”
Music Producers: “😡👿”
FL gang
Lol
I get offended when someone say "do you use fruityloops'
lmao dat shit sound weird doe no cap
@@r3nm4 fr fr like just call it fl studio
How u talking about FL studio and not mentioning Lex Luger???? Alot of producer started using FL studio cause of him
No cap
9th wonder*
First major producer was 9th wonder to use FL but Soulja made it popular to the younger generation. I first used FL in 2002
Soulja Boy still did it first so
@@Oldheadontheblock he never said lex luger did it first either so
Sure there are more professional DAWs but FL Studio feels like home. I can never turn my back on it, shit slaps.
crank that made me try FL studio and get into beat making. 12 years later I'm trying other DAWs and nothing is like FL.
Crank dat was made on presets lmao
Fl has all the plugins you need. Edison, slicex, equalizers, gross beat now, convolver, etc. All you need are new sound packs. But fl has treated me well over the years
Bro, FL has probably made billions for the producers/industry at this point
I think billions is a little much
@@udaysingh-wr2kw like old town road alone made billions which was produced in fl🤷♀️
@A everyone knows at this point
I remember producers in the early 2000s saying "I don't fuck with that Fruity Loops. I like to touch buttons of my MPC."
It is now 2019 and all those dudes who chose to fight the future were left in the dust. I am happy to say I have been on Fruity Loops since version 1. LOL
I switched over to Ableton, sm better lmao
@@taikomadeitt
I could never figure out Ableton.
I wish i could be a fruity loops Producer in 1998
"beat programs" dude, its a daw (digital audio workstation) and there is so much more you can create with it than beats
Fruity Loops also changed EDM, many great dance songs were also made by fl
Fruity Loops was for EDM.
FL Studio has made Trance and Hard House hits back in the day as well.
BEEN A PROUD USER OF FL FOR 8 YEARS! IT CHANGED MY LIFE! 🙏
I started using FL in 2011, a pirated version when I was 16 and now at the age of 24, I've bought the signature edition and it's still my main DAW on Windows and I switch to Logic when I'm on IOS. I mainly use third party plugins but FL Studio's workflow is really fluid and easy to use, it has it's irritations like every DAW but it's really user friendly and easy to use.
fl gang 🌊🌊🌊
wya
Leaves out Southside, but mentions Nick Mira....
Dr. Spice word
They forget a lot of niggas
Dr. Spice he’s more relevant rn
@@prodbyanthony2900 no he aint
this nigga said nick mira is more relevant than metro boomin😑😑🤔
it's been 6 months since I started producing and I still have the demo version 😂
MAMBA FAKE I used it for a year💀
I used FL my pops got it for me back in like 2007 that was a dope summer
and you still get free updates for ever ..which other company does that ? fl for life.
i remember having a cracked version of fl studio around 2010.. Couldn't make shit but it was a cool program lol
Yeah y’all better mention 9th wonder 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Korey Henderson Exactly why I watched! Thank God for 9th.
L
It blows my mind that 9th used FL for The Listening
Please support the developers and purchase the software
KDEV I just use the demo but not all of us got $99
@@veezuhlife lol
They already got enough money lol, they str8
I was using fl studio since 2003 an still going strong. I can’t stop I’m so addicted. This software is literally my life. Fl gang for life! 🙌🏻
Omaticdream I’m a lifer too gang
It’s carried me through lots of depression
I personally don’t use fl (because when i was looking into DAWs I didn’t have enough money lmao) but I have mad respect for the program. The UI is intuitive (if sometimes messy) and it’s brought a TON of new producers to find their favorite hobby and possibly career. Thanks Image-Line.
Shoutout to fl studio, very grateful for the DAW🙌🏾
Ableton though is the one

I thought they were talking about cereal. Smh😂😂

@@osama3146 bruh😂😂
9th Wonder was the one who made FL accepted in hip hop
Thank you. And that was 2003
Been on Loops since 02... Left for 1yr with Mpc... Came back on the loops even stronger
Most motivational sentence among 10 million people who using FL could make your next song it must be you blessed 💞💞🔥😥
I’m all about FL, but why we acknowledging it 20 years later.
Because its a piece of history that should be reflected upon
And it's cuz it rose to stardom cuz of EDM, and trap producers making hits with it
I agree....I remember back in the day if u was using fly studio ppl would shit on u heavy and clown on it..but now they realizing the software is a masterpiece and already cemented its name in music
That’s such an ignorant question. FL studio is at the height of its cultural importance and influence right now. 20 years ago that would not be the truth.
@@hatredcarefuldeath Its not an ignorant question, matter of fact, i was trying to spark the answer that Rengawd said above you. It was always of cultural importance and influence it was just that users were too shy to admit it because of people like DJ Khaled shitting on them.
my hungry ass in the morning thought about toucan Sam!
New Justin y??
Feeling proud of being part of this journey for so long.
nick mira really making careers
yep,
hes my biggest inspiration
nick mira? he's barely the latest. havent heard of metro, soutside, zaytoven? even pvlace tm-88, dj plugg. all way better than nick mira
@@lol-od6wk Those you've mentioned have been in the game for years. Nick is just starting out.
@@nocturnal7345 yeah I've changed my opinion on him since then.
I was going to make a video on the history of FL, but oh well :P
Hey! Don't forget to shout out the developers!
Especially the homie Shini Knobs and Reflex
Justin Omoi fancy seeing you here. You should still do it because they left a lot out.
I’ve been using FL since like ‘99.
Creator gave me a copy for Christmas when it first came out.
Fruity loops changed my life
Fl studio is the greatest online studio wver
shout out to all my FL Users, whether you make beats, edm or record songs with it 🙏🏽
prodtysonrain yoo 😍
I make beats and songs over that lol. GOAT DAW
My goal this summer is to produce a rock album entirely through FL
Everyone is like fl studio is not good for recording and mixing but i fuck with fl studio
Fun fact, the Doom and Undertale soundtracks were made in FL Studio.
I came here looking for how cereal changed hiphop.
*I ONLY WORK WITH FL STUDIO... FOR LIFE* 🎹🔥💎💨
stop calling it an App, IT'S called SOFTWARE!!!
because App isn't software -.-
It's literally the same thing nerd
@@clazza5895 it isnt but aight.
@@maxgroot8378 it is though, even if im wrong it literally does not matter
@@clazza5895 nah software is different than a app do your research
Underground Hip Hop of Lithuania, 2003-2004 - we used Fruity Loops version 3 as a starter - Thank you Image-Line! For us then, and now it was and is serious, so if 9th Wonder was one of the first guys who used it in the US, in Europe we been using it for real!
It changed the EDM also😋
Make more videos about Producers.
Producers need more exposure.
FL GANG WAZ GOOD
gang
gang gang
One of those 10 mil, right here!
during my transition from mpc to software..pro tools was boring, its more for final mixdown, mastering, orchestral composing. then I tried cubase, more fun, better interface. reason, sounds great, looks great, but no vst plug ins at the time, so..tried ableton..the warping, drum racks, scenes..its like playing with legos, & quick ideas get down fast before you forget. I always thought FL was kinda low grade, but its just the look of the DAW and name that really kill it for some. If another pro DAW wouldve put Step Sequencing at the forefront of its midi scheme, it wouldve been where FL is today.
Interesting to not mention: the real reason FL became so popular is because it was the easiest DAW to crack at the time and still is to this day.
Definately not bro what the fuck u on maybe back in the day but they crack down so hard on people that pirate fr you can't even upload videos of you using it unless you got the full version but day one when i started making beats i got a fully cracked version of ableton on first search on google.
I aint know what a crack was when I started using fl the demo was what I was using
What about regeton???" "La gasolina" one of the bests songs ever it was made on fruity loops
@@Mvvp2290 hahaha why u mad bro?? Stealing your culture??? Check the views and compare reggaeton and hip hop who has the most?? Drake ask bad bunny to make a song and he told yes but if he sings in Spanish so who is trying to make a song whit north American artist?? Fuck haters #latinogang 🤟🏾
Reggaeton goes hard why you talking that runny poo
@@park3r61 idk what your listening to but my shit bumps! FYI not everyones from the states. You know there are like 500 other cuntries in the world ayy 😂
@@FROSTYYY2K Bro, if latinos think regueton died, REGUETON DIED. It's all the same shit i swear.
@@park3r61 Well seeing as how you can't even spell 'Reggaeton' your opinion is invalid 😂
I have cubase, Pro tools, studio one, reaper, nuendo, mixcraft, Ableton but FL studio is my favourite.
FL Studio 20 has a free version you can download on their website. You can't reopen your saved beats unless you buy the full program, but it's definitely a great way to get a feel for FL studio if you plan on buying it in the future.
Cool but go back 2001 in Puerto Rico and hear all the reggaeton beats by Dj Blass. He is one of the pioneer to use FL Studio back in the day.
Reggaeton was always Fl heavy
Luny tunes .tainy .nelly el arma secreta and nesty .top reggaeton producers made hits with Fl studio back then.
How can one make a video on fruityloops and not talk about 808mafia ?!?! 😑
Cause they aint like us fam 808 a different breed
thats a great questoin
pierre bourne
Harpreet Singh 808mafia something special
They should have said a little bit about them someone
At least they talked about nick mira
In an interview, Suga of BTS mentioned that he got into producing through Fruity Loops so essentially if FL Studio wasn't created we might not have BTS which would be a travesty
Fruity loops changed lives 😭😭😭
Next genius video, "how the socks changed the rap game?"
"beat program" bruh DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION
JAKIN bruh NOBODY CAR-
This is literally a video about a daw u sound STOOPID
@@daiiran cultivated people do
G S V no shh
"and I think that's the main reason Fruity Loops took off, because it was not designed for musicians"
This this 100% this. FL Studio is a Daw I can actually UNDERSTAND and make thing in unlike any other daw I have tried. No wonder it's so popular
Probably my favorite genius video of all time
I like LMMS more because it’s free and gives the same result as well as more freedom!
Lil Addy Mr Trent send me a beat from it I wanna hear
Yung Preno Here’s one of my beats but I kinda overdid it on the bass drop: bsta.rs/de621f9
@@liladdymrtrent117 holy shit that beat was fucking trash!
Who else thought fl stood for Florida for some reason?? Just me, OK😂 I would have never thought fruity loops
Me too! 😄😁😂
At first i was so amazed that you could import .midi files (or how it called) and made them sound differently, depend on instrument samples :) oh my 2007
Kind Koala yo I figured that out somehow when I was 12 back in 2002 I’d import guitar tab midi and ppl were like bro you can legit remix any song wtf
Where is FL Gang at? Love genius acknowledging the massive influence of FL studio.
Fl studio helped me overcome depression
fascinatinglist man for real
no doubt about it
It made me find a purpose honestly. I was lost without it, as cheesy as that shit sounds lol
@@tyjusto9351 same
Fruity Loops is not a "beat program" Genuis... Its a Digital Audio Workstation.. Aka DAW... you can record vocals, live instruments, mix and master your entire project Genuis.. Its murdering an Mpc Genuis😑
Who the hell cares? Y'all just nitpicking at this point. Its like saying "they aren't beats they are instrumentals because it's more than just drums" everyone knows what the fuck you mean. No need to nitpick.
Ummm murdering the mpc naw Hommie mpc gang is in here and that mpc x is a grown maaan boi!!!!!!
@@DjSC80 i hate when people try to compare DAWs to MPCs
JaiDon Music WTF you mean it's murdering an MPC? Which MPC are you talking about??? If you are talking about the sequencers/samplers (60-2000XL), you are comparing a mf sequencer/drum sampler to a mf DAW, which is stupid af. If you are talking about MPC X...that is not a mf DAW. Perhaps you need to compare that FL BS to another DAW like Reason, Ableton, Studio One, Reaper, etc. BTW, I use MPC 2000 with a physical Korg Synth Workstation. Trust me, that BS FL Studio and it's BS soft synths cant f*&^ with my ish. I also use Studio One or Reaper for mixing and mastering. So I got the best of both worlds. Hardware and software.
I fux heavy with fruity loops since their 3rd version, in 2005 i was banging out some simple but dope instrumentals , using a lot of cool edit pro adobe audition as well. Thank god for the internet
Proud of Belgium!
Anyone recommend any good videos for learning FL studio? I'm trying to learn it
visit busyworksbeats, and also Internet Money. Internet money releases videos everyday.
Busy works beats is your best bet. But the best way to learn it, is to just keep using it. How I learned, was I sampled soul records, still do. Looked up how to sample in FL. Used SliceX at first, but preferred Edison later. Then started building the drums, getting used to the grid, acclimating to the mixer And it's stocc plugins (which are actually amazing, Gross beat and Parametric EQ 2 are my favs) etc. Then after that, look for drum paccs to use. A lot use 808 mafia, Lex Luger, DJ Spinz, metro boomin etc. For trap and all that. For hip hop 90s shit, I use Alchemist kits, Jake ones Snare Jordan series, and some other joints from other major producers. Later you'll get into sound design to create your own sound, but the best thing to do rn is learning your DAW and creating a workflow
@@tyjusto9351 thanks man, great advice
yeah everybody got fl studio... but who’s actually good at making beats... it’s not about what you got, it’s about what you got in you
one of the best daws created hands down
I use ABLETON but fl is good too
When I looked at the title I thought you guys were talking about the cereal.
PS I would like to learn more about that software!
FL GAAAANNGGGGGG
Part of their popularity was not putting much work into copy protection. It is the #1 pirated and downloaded daw and that was the strategy that gave them the advantage over the others.
I was using FL studio and Reason since they both came out and I personally prefer Reason. Unfortunately it took Reason a long time to add vst support so that was another reason people would use fruity loops instead.
Was hyped to see this pop up on my explorer page!
Fruity Loops For Life
I would download it Mr. Jacques Morel, but the version I want is $200, and my broke ass can't afford that
Rikey Castro you can find cracked versions
I got a credit card just to get the official program because I was tired of crack versions. I just pay back a few bucks per month. Yes ill end up paying more with interest, but hey, i got it, lol.
Soulja boy about to have the biggest come back out 2019 also
That mans locked up he ain't doing shit
Great segment, well done.
who else thought they were talking about the cereal 😂😂
Fl studio is probably the best beat producing system of all time, GarageBand who?
GarageBand is decent mane
Actually GB my 2nd string pick
So happy ppl are now waking up and stopped sleeping on producers, recognizing their work
Fruity Loops is a Game Changer just like Logic is a game changer
Logic X is next in this bih
Cardeo you produce?
@@ndonisea90 I do 🙏🏽🎹
I started on 3.4...
It's come a long way..
I took heat from my boys on MPC's and ASR10's but in the 90's and 00's I was 🔥🔥🔥with my FL.
I Remember when they first added the ability to play chords. Man I felt like I could actually compete.
Miss those days ...
*FL GANG* ❗️🦍❤️❤️
Fl Studio squad !
Good video!!
