@@ManfredGerhard dude i meant the very first Lex Luger kit, that was only on pair by the Timbaland one and Trapaholics... but tbh I learned the definition of an 808 by using that kit and remixing old songs with trap drums. I think I was 16 or something, Lex Luger is a legend and yet so young
Notice how Lex kept everything simple and kept it moving forward. That isn't because he can't do complex things either; being able to move a workflow like this takes a lot of discipline and experience.
@@Itswestsidetony you should go listen to some old productions coming out of Tennessee. You can even go back to the early late 80s-early 90s with it. He definitely updated and put his swing to it but not the creator.
After Shawty Redd and Lil Jon, Lex enhanced the way 808 drums are used and now you hear this way of using drums in almost every Rap, Pop, and even R&B record.
to this day every single drum kit that comes out has a version of all the sounds lex luger used plus the racks kick dj spinz 808 n the young chop snare yall are the industry standard lex luger immortal
I borrowed Music Generator 1 (PS1) from my brothers friend, waaay back.. quickly got MG2 for PS2 so yeah, those were my first beats as well HAHA!! I still have the disc and the memory card. I might have to plug that joint up soon to see what I had going on.. I have a cassette tape full of my first beats too.. Nice to see this video!! Stay Up!
That was a great watch and listen. Glad the youngin is speaking well and articulating the science of music production well while creating the patterns and mixing the sounds. Great young composer there
This man is making me pull out Maschine tonight! Yes, he IS the king of trap! Native Instruments give this guy a sound pack and expansion next! It will sell like ice in Texas!
Just bought the Maschine Software 2 after brushing the dust on a used Mikro mk2. These drums from their expansions hit hard, I got the Ultimate 14 and that comes with many. They fill like completed sounds and studio ready. Not like the sample packs from the edm world, many companies just fill with crappy drums to sell packs. But Native Instruments Expansions are no joke, they feel and sound like the real deal.

Shout out to Lex Luger, he‘s been an inspiration from the very start & one of the producers that hugely influenced me 🙌🏼 I actually used that same arctic bells preset in That Paper by The Rangers. Thanks NI for hitting me with that nostalgia, Massive is still a dope plugin even to this day!🙏🏼
@@dirg3music for real! Matter of fact, I find myself rediscovering some of the plugins like Absynth for instance. Soundwise this is one of a kind as well.
Lex has made some bangers. For those that dont know, here's a few of the songs he's produced: Wale feat Jeremih - That Way Rick Ross feat Styles P - BMF (Blowin Money Fast) Kanye West and Jay Z - HAM Waka Flocka - Grove St Party Ace Hood - Hustle Hard Waka Flocka - Round Of Applause All bangers.
Hello sir, I want to say thank you for your contribution in this music game. Also thank you for inspiring me to not give up on my 1st love "Music" You are my hero! Thanks again.
yo this is Mvee dope video bro i'm currently rockin with the s49 and the mk3 myself dope combo lovin what ya doing keep grindin man keep working music will NEVER DIE .
Yo! When you said "I first made beats off the playstation, music generator" I jumped out my seat, that's literally where I started off as well and I swear I felt like I was the only one who knew about that game/daw.
I own Komplete Ultimate, and a bunch of packs for Kontakt and Maschine. I kind of regret buying the MPC Live 2, instead of Maschine+. Maybe I'll get one someday. I'm currently trying to build my hardware synth collection. It would be dope to get into that room, and start designing sounds on all of those vintage synths. I would be layering huge soundscapes with all of those classics.
what some people don't understand about lex is that he started off taking the vintage brass trap sound to new heights but after that era he pioneered a completely new sound. tyga - lap dance, smoke dza - loaded, juicy j - smokin and im sippin to name a few. the mark this man left on the music industry is insane 🐐
I have 16 hours left to submit my Remix kinda exited but thought my Mac broke down lol .. its all good 👍 Well done Lex I've enjoyed my version to your excellent track and I've listened to some excellent remixes from others so well done to all..Peace to every person 😀

bro THATS A FACT!!!!!!!
bro WHAT i thought it was only me
i started producing in 2019 but waited a while to get any drumkits, my first one is called "lex_luger_drum_kit"
I have several of his drum kits
I remember how revolutionary Lex Luger’s sound was around 2010. Dirty South dance anthems were replaced by Hard Trap music because of this man.
Wrd..that's where they reintroduced the deep 808 and slowed the tempo a bit 🔥
!!!!
Revolutionary sounds that completely changed music!!
Notice how Lex kept everything simple and kept it moving forward. That isn't because he can't do complex things either; being able to move a workflow like this takes a lot of discipline and experience.
VA 757 producers, Lex Luger, the Neptunes, Timbo, Nottz Raw, Bink, Missy Elliott, Danja! Straight Legends!
one of the pioneers in this genre. LEX practically defined the TRAP style that has been dominant on hit records for over a decade.
his style was so influential even country music jacked it
I’d say he is the creator
Him and Waka with Flockaveli changed everything!
@@Sarry-Banders999 it was actually Shawty Redd and Jeezy that changed the sound

exactly bro! s2
Shawty Redd
he really deserve more credits in the media, is the god of trap beats period
I swear hearing BMF was all it took for me to become a lifelong fan of his craft
For once I have to agree with someone’s self-proclamation. Lex literally is the greatest trap producer ever.
they lucky he caught got hook on dem drugs
!!
Na. Not even. He light weight. Southside, metro, or wheezy next level w it
Dj Toomp? Tf
Look up everything D Rich was doing while lex was coming up... he literally gave lex his style but ok...oh and a guy named shawty redd
Lex seems really healthy. Physically and mentally. You love to see it.
That Lex Luger run was incredible!
Lex paved the way for producers around the world. He had the first drumkit I ever bought. bought in '10 and I still have it till this day.
We need more producers on Maschine! I’m loyal to this DAW
💯
Facts Maschine is amazing
🥺🙏
@Davon Stew That might be coming next possibly
I want to Transition to this For Sure 🔥🔥🔥
The OG Trap producer. Real ones know. Good to see Lex still on his shit.
This dude is the reason I started making beats with the 140 bpm tempo (double time)
About time they got some people from the culture. real guys.
to this day every single drum kit that comes out has a version of all the sounds lex luger used plus the racks kick dj spinz 808 n the young chop snare yall are the industry standard lex luger immortal
The Trap Creator encouraging everybody to use Rev on 808. God
I don’t know anything thing about this young man or his music, but I like him and enjoyed this presentation. There is zero BS here.

I can't put him over Shawty Redd.

@@keithwhitfield361 lex still had his own style. He basically changed the whole style of trap
Shawty redd or zaytoven
Maybe he was back then but nowadays hes not even close to one of the best. Hes the godfather but not the best trap producer in the world
