Still bump’n this in 2024!!! Klassik!!
one of the hardest beats ever
UNHOLY PRIEST i think he meant as one of the grimiest toughest beats
Yessssssssss
Underground Chamber Muzik that doesn’t mean it isn’t one of the hardest beats ever come on now
Company flow- 8 steps to perfection is the hardest beat ever
@Underground Chamber Muzik Hard in OUR culture means bitter beer face beat. #CultureVultures just don't get it... SMFH
is and forever will be my favorite Jay-z song. I'm a beat girl. I can go back as for as 1920. This just gets in my fucking bones. Play it at my funeral and watch my corps jump!
I'm obsessed with tracking this energy down.....who was before Yvonne Fair?

wich is the original sample?
@@HIPHOPANTIFA ruclips.net/video/iIJypeXFePw/видео.html
The real question is how did he remove th get at the end of the sample (the "a" of 4 if u count 16 notes 4-e-and-a)
It's one of the cold meanest beats ever, to give authority to the hip hop game.
"When the blue vans would come we'd throw our work in the can and run'...I remember them blue vans
To the 3 people that disliked......"Where you from"????.......
under a rock city lmao
Not Marcy son
Da Bronx 🤣
Jon Manos fire comment
😄
"How real is... THIS. How real is... THIS."
YO THIS BEAT IS SOOO HARD MY GAWD!
Salute to Amen-RA for the knowledge and generosity of sharing.
This is amazing! 16 levels! I always used to listen to the sample and wonder how he manipulated it to get that half step up and down. Plus the way he laced the kick with the drums already in the sample. Hard AF. One of the greatest songs ever.
till this day... the best jay-z song.... he repped the hood he was from, i'm from queens and this hit home back then and still today.
Definitely a Classic along with vol 1 being one of if not the most slept on Jay album besides bp 2
Facts
Marcy Anthem...Word Up I'm standing behind Jigga in the red jacket....one of the dopest memories being in Marcy 🔥
My Fav song from Jay by far 2019
Correction, Diamond who is a friend of mine, is not the first to use this sample. My inspiration came from Marley marley and Biz Markie who is actually first to discover it. I just used it differently than they did.
FOUNDING FATHERS #Truth
Da Biz Markie version is slower
FOUNDING FATHERS Does it also have an open high hat over the snare?? Great beat by the way...
Why they remove the official instrumental? I saved it in my feed and it was removed twice now I can't find it😱
It’s an amazing how producers come up with samples. That small sample came from “Let Your Hair Down” by Yvonne Fair :55 sec mark
I'm from the south n that was my shit back in the day
Big up to Amen RA... CLASSIC BANGER!
Love these Videos. Pure Hip Hop... Nothing too crazy, just a sample and a beat flipped in a dope way.
This beat is extremely tough 🔥🔥
the way he just held the platinum plaque at the end killed me loool
One of my favorite Jay-Z songs 🔥
Thanks for making this video Ron! It's a timeless classic beat
LEGENDARY…. GREAT TIMES TO BE ALIVE … AMEN RA 🙏🏽🆙🖤❤️💯
This beat is amazing 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥❗
He threw shots at Prodigy from Mobb Deep in the second line. And he wore a jersey like on their video. Back then those shots were subliminal. Love this song! Rap was so cool back then, now not so much.
I wow I didn’t realize he did that.
Classic Material Ron, one of my favorite beats ever. I also remember 2 Kings in a cypher, for the brothers who aint here video, i think i still may have it on VHS.
so simple and genius as both an instrumental and with the lyrics!!!
That shit is fire always will be one of my favorite beats
velocity can mean to speed up or slow down. In that case I showed you how I altered the pitch of the sample in speed.
FOUNDING FATHERS He meant pitch under the 16 level settings. He corrected himself later in the video. Velocity using 16 levels he used for the hi hats.
Yeah you can tell it's a lapsus.
THE hardest Jay-Z/most others has ever done.
History in the making........ To define this song it's like infinity........
Fat Joe song too. Bad Bad Man from the album Represent
He forgot the part where he gives a shout to Diamond for using the same loop first on Fat Joe's first lp. D.I.T.C., son!!!
Amen Ra been a True Master since TKO! #RespectTheArchitects
7 years and still no dislike. Amazing.
@Hamza Faison right. Smh
Genius, my favorite beat from Jay-Z albums
forever a classic
This was actually a game changer for Jay-Z. When he released the music video at the beginning of his movie people actually realized he was a real project dude from Brooklyn
One of my top ten favorite hip hop instrumentals. #salute
This is one of my favorite jay z songs straight classic
Genius for one of the illest beats
So much love and respect for your craft. Thank you for sharing.
He Killed it on this song!!!!
One of the best beats ever my man
Amazing... I was just listening to this song the other day...Its still potent today as though it just came out..Great Work....
Definitely one of the hardest beats ever
Amazing.
Such a gritty beat 🤌🏿
This is dope. I wish that he would start making beat tutorials. Thank you for this video.
One of my favorite beats🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing..a masterpiece
Best Video Ive seen on here in a while! Def one of the illest Jigga songs ever! This shit goes hard.
First time i ever herd Biz Markie Use this sample on "check em out" i was like .. "Oooooo I love Hip-Hop" ...
what's the name of the sample? 🙏
@@ENDUBMEXI253 Im sorry King i didnt see you responded
Here you go: Yvonne Fair "let your hair down" - ruclips.net/video/116RZRf2wNE/видео.html
@@Suave_TheArtKartel thank you so much! It's crazy how that little part made a big effect on the world
One of the hardest by far
Perfect beat
The original producer for this beat was diamond shell which is biz markie little brother.
Nice... This reminds me of when Marley Mar broke down how he produced LL's "Mama said knock u out"
and Mario, and Chucky, etc. there were like 10 members of the Hitmen, but this one is clearly a Ron solo track, so chill.
Ayyy!! The 2 finger hi hat death trap lol 😆 u killed this bruh
All time fav salute
LOL - right when i was thinking "..and that made him a fortune" he showed the platinum award.
This song and beat was 🔥 🔥🔥
GREAT VISION, HOTTEST EVER! MUCH RESPECT............! SGP ENTERPRISE
Even tho Fat Joe flipped it first, Jay-Z brought that Brooklyn flava to it. That beat remind u of chillin out in front of the projects in Brooklyn.
Biz Markie 1st
Top 10 beats of all time.
Selling a brownstone on marcy and quincy for $1.9M. Rented a new development luxury building on tompkins and Lexington. Rented 2 1 bedroom apartment on quincy and marcy. The projects are going to be gone within 20 years.
it was a project.
So basic but sooo tough. Absolute banger
Inspirational fr!
respect saw the video on complex about how your best hits were made
One of the most villainous beats. Tufffff
Classic dope💯💪
This is Fire 🔥
An fine tune that catches the essence of the hood. He made a dope beat from a small sample. Crazy.
What instrument is makes that first pitch.
Legal Dope. I love this tracc and song.
“This song was resampled and inspired the hit single, "Angels" and "Angels Remix"- by Diddy & Dirty Money, Featuring Rick Ross.“ - This beat itself is sampled from Biz Markie’s, “Check It Out”, though.
do you know the name of the original song sample?
@@ENDUBMEXI253 Yvonne Fair -Let Your Hair Down
@@870mac THANK YOU FAM
Biz used this first in 1989
Word "check it out"
Why tf are you announcing that here yo?
@@BigTrisStreams What, Biz shouldn't get props for using it first?
@@BigTrisStreams because 90% of the people in the comments don’t know the Biz Markie Song.. that’s why
@@BigTrisStreams Wasn't that strange to mention it was it?
Simplicity is king!
Top 5 beats
Sampled From Let Ya Hair Down by Yvonne Fair
Straight fire
dope sounds my man.. peace
NICE!!!
Let You Hair Down by Yvonne Fair is the sample...
Hardest Jay Z song
Ron "Amen Ra" Lawrence AND DERIC "D-DOT" ANGELETTIE MIND IT!!!!!!
It wasn't ONE king in a cypher
IT WAS TWO KINGS IN A CYPHER!!!! ;)
I hope this man got paid well for this beat.
i just learned alot in that little bit of time. i think i missed my calling.
It's never too late.
@@thecouchpotato09 maybe your right, i suffer from having low vision. so bad vision good hearing. i listen and hear things very well.
Just the hardest rap song of all time, nbd.
Dope Let your hair down by: Yvonne Fair
DOPE.
Definitely my top jawn ever
Domestic part when he showed that platinum plaque.
🔥🔥
iiiight!!!
My second favorite Jay z joint behind can I live I let it be go so hard
Biz used this first but, AMEN-RA version is COLD!!!!!!!!
What about the triangle(bells)? That's the signature of that era.
Right that’s hard to miss
They don’t make ‘em like this no more
Love it
Seems like a nice and a down to earth guy
Why everybody forgot about Bad Bad Man By Fat Joe D that they completely ripped the beat from
What synth is that for the bass??
sounds like the normal bass patch the JV2080, famously used by Swizz Beat.
@@tenslider6722 so would it be an electric bass sampled onto the synth?
@@dylanlopez9961 If I remember correctly, the Jv2080 didn't have a sampler although it has a memory card slot to save patches. that's an electric bass patch mixed with an extra low end to compliment the kick.
Me coming through slow motion in my drop top. 1998
