This beat is so dope. As an east coast dude, I Remember when Crenshaw first came out. I played this One song back to back like 15 times. That was 11 years ago. Now my 4 year old son be in the whip, like “checc me out” 🥲
OMFG that be@t was simple af. But hard af!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike & Keys and 1500 gave Nip his signature sound. RIP NIp The Motherf*&&& Great!!!!!!!
Same. The horns on that beat make it sound so triumphant. Perfect album closer. Drums smack hard. We need a whole track-by-track breakdown for Victory Lap. The team of LA-based musicians killed both Victory Lap and To Pimp A Butterfly. There was some overlap between musicians who worked on both.
This was great. Really in depth background on the mechanics that went into this dope beat. Mike & Keys are very underrated. They shouldve had something in here discussing Dj Quik mixing this beat, which I believe was the only song completely mixed on that "Crenshaw" tape, a project that could still use a professional mix and master btw. You hear this song, sonically, alongside everything else on that tape, and you can hear the elevation here, where Dj Quik really brought those instruments and the drums to life. Cant waut to binge watch other videos in this series. Don Cannon's really got something here for music lovers.
Damn I remember using Reason for a long time, and he's right, Reason is dope but you had to freak it to make it work with certain things. But it's a beast of a program. I use Ableton now but I will always respect Reason.
REASON FOREVER, THE DAW THAT' REVOLUTIONIZES EVERYTHING ,REASON GANG FORMULAING PLOTS TO CREATIVE SUCCESS IT'S JUST GOING TO GET BETTER AND BETTER FOR REASON
I was literally just thinking about this beat and that Bass sound , it’s the same bass in Big Krit’s “ Money on the Floor”… I’ve been looking for this sound SINCE 2012. Glad to know where it comes from finally. 🔥🔥🔥
I know exactly what they’re talking about with reason back then lol one of my best friends put me on to reason 4, and it absolutely didn’t have audio or outside vst capabilities.
My God I remember being in Afghanistan and watching LA Leakers when Nip and Dom was up there and they dropped that shit for the first time 🤯🤯🤯. 2008-2014 was legendary times 🏁
Bruh.. reason was the struggle. I used reason 5 back in the day. It has great sounds but yoh the work flow was murder. I eventually switched to studio one when it first came out. Now I am using ableton. Its so easy. Anybody can use it.
Fuck a highlight let’s make highlights in rap history! (Yall should know I don’t give a fuck how people perceive my approach to whatever I do. Not saying alighted this but in general) Most people don’t even like their own perception of themselves, if that’s why I been getting dissed can I get a piss off, respectfully? I don’t take no’s for an answer, but we both know that’s not what’s best, especially looking at where the state of the culture is.
Mannnnn that Crenshaw album got me through a year of Afghanistan when I was deployed. Checc me out was in rotation every day !!!!
Blessings dawg! 🎉
Facts this album Got me thru a lot..

Reason stock sounds are god-level.
The fact that they use Reason as their production tool makes me want to go back to using it again
As a long time Reason user. I ask that we keep these. Nobody and very few people are Proppeller Heads

Man listen, chopping vocals/acapellas into Reason without audio was tough. But it made me stronger!
Marathon don’t stop🏁🏁🏁
Reason gang, we out here!!!
This track made me love MIKE & KEYS! LA IS MY HOME!
Legends!
Great insight into the creative process. This should have millions of views with how in depth you guys got into the process👍🏾
Had this track on repeat
I used to make beats on Reason I’m talking early from like 2/3
Damn I remember using Reason for a long time, and he's right, Reason is dope but you had to freak it to make it work with certain things. But it's a beast of a program. I use Ableton now but I will always respect Reason.
they need to release a drum kit with all the nip sounds
true!
I think they have 2 drums kits
@A_Class216 where are they?
@@rashadparker2445 it was on their website. They wanted like $40+ for the kits
Reason gang

Bruh.. reason was the struggle. I used reason 5 back in the day. It has great sounds but yoh the work flow was murder. I eventually switched to studio one when it first came out. Now I am using ableton. Its so easy. Anybody can use it.
Also that reason eq. Its not the one. Once I got fabfilter i was at home

"LIKE" 17
WTF DON, CHECC ME OUT TOO?!
🫡🫡🫡
What software is the beat being made on?
Reason 5 just made me cringe 😭 you couldn’t even record audio into it back then, I Wonder what they used to record
& Why I’m Still Blocked On The GN Page?
