I was in one of those beat battles. I battled Khrysis of all people!!! Local 506 was the SPOT for local underground Hip Hop (Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill)! I used to ride up to Chapel Hill from Durham EVERY Monday night and spit at their open Mic. DJ Flash was the house DJ. Kaze was the host. Early '00s. Good times!! NC HIP HOP STAND UP!!
I’m here after watching the little brother documentary and the fact that 9th refrained from that particular story is groundbreaking after watching this. Now I’m a fan of all these guys hands down, their art has got me through a lot of rough times, but now after watching 9ths perspective of life, and his story of growth, it explains the whole story of all these legends in hiphop more clearly.
This documentary is very deep and my time was well spent watching this. Being a DJ/Producer myself and living about 25 minutes from Winston-Salem, the wisdom 9th Wonder dropped was priceless! It resonated with me because so many people seem to jump through hoops and will do anything to be in the music industry. I don't read this being the case with 9W. He comes across as grounded and highly intelligent along with being talented, and I have the utmost respect for those traits. Much more could be said here, but I'll keep it brief! Salute Bro!! -DJ 14K
Gratitude for sharing. Paper Lines by Phonte prod by 9th Wonder is amazing. I bought a Stylistics Album 2 years ago and I heard One Night Affair ... A few years ago one of my teachers at Laney (Oakland Ca) introduced my class to Black Economics : Solutions for Economic and Community Empowerment September 1, 2002 by Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu. It was a trip to hear 9th say that Kunjufu was one of his instructors. That Ojays Cry Together is heavy. E Jones has some cool production. Peace to Jamla and Peace to Tamla.
@ the 1:09:14 of this documentary 9th made a beat from scratch that in this documentary made in 2011 that til this very day in 2024 is still futuristic....thats the genius of this amazing producer and beat maker....9th wonder is gonna go down as one of the greatest producers the culture of hip-hop has ever seen....PERIOD!
48:12 🤣🤣🤣 9th was cookin!!! ….but yeah I saw this after the LB doc ..first thanks for sharing…my first thought was 9th was headed in a certain direction..might not have been the most best timing in the world but that call he got from YG changed things…what was dope was how 9th kept it 100 respectful when addressing LB ..laid back no strife ..LBs doc not so much…but major respect to 9th…if I had to pick a side I would say 9th..it makes you Wonder…
Wow, great documentary! First time I saw 9th wonder was in Portland OR with Pharoe Monch!! Amazing show. His into mixing of hip hop/rap gems was silly good and he didn’t even start! Way to be a part and make a wonderful documentary. It means a lot to old heads to see.
BIG PUN X 9TH WONDER MIXTAPE/ ALBUM , SOMETHING I WOULDA LIKED TO LISTEN TO ... THANK YOU 9TH .. BEST PRODUCER . PERIOD . CLASSIC SHIT FOR DAYS . MUCH LOVE N RESPECT FROM THE WEST COAST .
GET BACK LITTLE BROTHER, GET SLUM VILLAGE ON YOUR CLASSICS .. WE NEED IT ... PEACE N LOVE TO THE BEST PRODUCER .. GODDAM.. EVERY COAST / RAPPER KNOWS 9TH . BEST TO DO IT . MUCH LOVE N RESPECT TO OTHER PRODUCERS . BUT EVERYONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE A HOT BEAT , BUT NOT A CLASSIC.
It looks cool to do a college class on music (as a professor). I went to college for Audio Engineering, so the beginning half of the documentary had my bunny ears raised throughout. Salute to 9th for teaching Hip-Hop the right way in school. Wish he was my professor when I was enrolled 😂. If you've read this far and have student loans? Keep pushing, the narrow road gets wider. You got this. Super Fax 📠🔥
It's good to hear his perspective on the Little Brother days. Though, he told me in person they were done...I've always hoped they would do another album.
@frequentiis Like I said, there's two sides to every story. A common narrative is that producers who are part of a hip hop group are conceited, "always wanted to go solo", or "never wanted to be part of the group". But one thing you have to consider is that the producer is making all of the music AND getting attention for outside production from major solo acts, so it's easy for the other members to feel jealous or envious...so it could be the other members who have the bad ego.
Very well done. I pride myself as being one of those different kids that grown into a person in my own lane most dont understand those that do see the genius in us.
"My father built a house with his bare hands." No tools. No hammers, no saws. Just pounded nails in with his fists. Ripped wooden beams with his grip. Back when men were men.
Lol they wanna drop this old documentary weeks after Little Brother dropped their documentary, to critical acclaim, because they exposed 9th for being a terrible group member. I don’t even want to watch 9th’s doc again because I don’t want to be right about him never telling the truth about LB’s breakup.
This doc wasn't dropped again. We're just sharing it because it's not on the net anywhere and it's a good doc. 9th said in this doc that he'd never talk publicly about everything that transpired.
@@BringingDownTheBand From what I hear, he won't even agree to do interviews unless the LB situation is left out. The optics are a lack of accountability for his part in it.
You know I sat for a minute and I'm not making any excuses but I came to the conclusion that 9th is just a different type of cat. Then you gotta factor in his life path. Bro left his wife and kid to do this music stuff. You on a while different type of timing when you in a situation like that. I'm just glad 9th, Pooh, and Tiggalo found each other when they did.
i was unaware of this doc myself, but i have those same sentiments. Te and Pooh don’t seem like the type of dudes to embellish on events that impacted them negatively.
I LOVED BOTH DOCUMENTARIES THE WONDER YEARS AND MAY THE LORD WATCH BUT I THINK LITTLE BROTHER SHOULDVE JUST MADE 9TH A PRODUCER RATHER THAN A MEMBER OF THE GROUP BECAUSE MAYBE THEN THE RELATIONSHIP WOULDNT BE SO BROKEN
9th sits at the number# 5 spot of my top Hip-Hop producers (Extra-P aka The Large Professor, Pete Rock, Primo, and #1 J-Dilla)! But I still don't know why I thought he was first generation African! LOL This brother Geechee like ah mofo! LOL
In the box, DAWless. Creative limitations. WtF. It's about the beat. The rest is BS. And mr. 9 Wonder is about the focus. When he works the 2500, he's one with the machine, when he works with FL studio, he's one with the computer, when he uses a Maschine MK2 or MK3, he's one with the machine. And through all of that he's also one with the music.

My thoughts Exactly
I wish the industry &/or those in it would construct a system where they can all eat. Touring shouldn’t be the best revenue generator for “groups”.
@@FedUpSista I think they were all able to eat, but egos kinda get in the way in these types scenarios in the music industry.
Biggest thig people were tripping off when Little Brother came out was that it was done on Fruity LOOPS, NOW everyone uses Fruity Loops hahaha
The name isn't appealing either 😄😄😄
Oh even the company knows that, they changed the name to FL studios.@@anadvocate7310

9th seem like a cool dude to just be around and learn from. Thanks for making the doc this well.
1:12:40 the best compliment you can give a producer.
I had the same facial expression man.
9th Wonder has such a deep and smooth voice. If he could sing, I'm sure he would've also been a phenomenal soul/R&B artist.
Definitely got that smooth Barry White tone lol
@@djtrakakadrunkpoet8598 he does! That's that panty dropper voice 😂😂

9TH!!!!! One of my favorite Producers!
Very well Documented. Dope Title. Shout out to 9th Wonder on remaining so humble, and everyone part of this project, that brought it to us. Thank you.
I feel treated seein Al interviewed here. His passion is always on full display.
This was Epic thanks 9th wonder for inspiring us with your legacy and talent.🎉 Happy New Year.

Anybody knows the title of the beat that is playing from 22:43? I have heard the beat before, but can't remember what its called
That's do the right thing by Ludacris feat. Common off his Theater of the mind album
MF DOOM used the same sample for orris root powder as well
This is enthralling, btw. Cannot stop rewinding and rewatching.
Maaan the nostalgia. Thank you. R.I.P. Bright Lady.

I remember paying for this when it came out and I watched it again on here a few months ago
It looks cool to do a college class on music (as a professor). I went to college for Audio Engineering, so the beginning half of the documentary had my bunny ears raised throughout.

The “Video-SL” sticker @ 53:31. I remember buying that software haha. I think I still have the unused stickers in a box.
Great work. Loved watching this.
I thought the jay-z joint threat was premo until i read the credits I was shocked that’s when i got introduced to 9th wonder
one of my favorite beats of 9th is shorty on the look out with creative source sample much props 9th is a baaad dude
Hardest beat on the whole album. "Keep me hanging on a string baby for you il do anything"
Hands down one of the toughest interludes
I'VE KEPT ALL MY TAPES AS WELL. FROM MIXTAPES TO O.G. RAP, ROCK TO WHATEVER.... THEY'RE STAYING IN MY COLLECTION AS WELL AS MY VINYL ❤
34:48 Does anyone know the title of the beat playing in the background? 1:09:27
IT'S CAT'S LIKE THIS THAT CARRY THIS MUSIC TO NEW HEIGHTS EACH AND EVERY YEAR.
reeeel shit dude
It's good to hear his perspective on the Little Brother days. Though, he told me in person they were done...I've always hoped they would do another album.
DAMN RIGHT IT'S ARTS AND CRAFTS BABY..... PAINT THE PICTURE.... EVERY BRUSH STROKE FELLAS. SOME ARTISTS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS,BUT IT'S ALL ART!
Top 10 not arguable doa hip hop beat makers of all time
This doc is from 2011.
@frequentiis 9th will not be clapping back, he didn't even want to take part in the doc to explain his side.

Your music is Healthy for me it drives me often. Your name, 9th Wonder ain't it the Truth!😌😌
What beat is that at 29:26?
Maaaan🔥🔥🔥! I ran to the comment section tryna find out myself
It's What I Gotta Say by 9th and Buckshot
Thank youuuuuuuuuuu!
Very well done. I pride myself as being one of those different kids that grown into a person in my own lane most dont understand those that do see the genius in us.
What’s the record on 26:52?
When you find out let me know🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
9th the goat 🐐 ❤
"My father built a house with his bare hands." No tools. No hammers, no saws. Just pounded nails in with his fists. Ripped wooden beams with his grip. Back when men were men.
Lololol
I listened to 9th's version of the Black album so much that I forgot about the Jay version lol.
Long life 9th
Wonderful beats
Anyome get into the thyrday? Pretty sure that was the first time I heard 9th.
Boxden had them tapes as soon as music was released
What is the name of that sample he played on that 45 when he went back to the dorms? 🔥🔥🔥🔥The first scene he made a beat.
He perfectly describes people’s struggle with artists getting more popular than they (fans) are comfortable with.
We in business
inspiring
MY BAD. I SLEPT ON THE BUCK AND 9TH STUFF....NEED TO GET SOME REISSUES IF I DON'T FIND OGEEZ!
9th Wonder is my Jdilla 🙏🏼💯
His Beats aré Tough Asf!! 💯🔥💯
Those kids were watching him making them beats like a hawk
Wht beat is tht it begins at 57:55 someone please help
Did you manage to find out which beat that is
I’m still looking man. It’s killing me
The making of that 9th Wonder production is at the 27 minute mark is fire. I hear many East Coast people destroying this
Dope!
Beautiful….
What beat is on when The Alchemist comes in?
does 9th feel a way about Big Pooh’s name being that his childhood name is Pooh
i bought the documetary for 10$ to support the artist ;)
Lmao the timing of uploading this around the same time as the LB’s documentary being released…
Not unintentional it seems
What's the "November: The Future" part's beat called ?
