Man casually graduates at Yale, gets a C- in electronic music class, then has the biggest song in the world near graduation. Bless.
Source?
@mccullareid on instagram he's got pics up on there of him at Yale graduation over in New Haven CT
fuck the grades, not the music. Grades are just a letter.
ECO that determine ur future and how far u get in life
straight like that lmao. "On The Way" is my shit btw, man. Great song
Producers deserve more credit, they made this song great
Sid I
the culture deserve's more credit , it made this song great.
Swae lee did
Yeah usually I'd agree with this point 100%. However, I find the vocals from Swae Lee are pretty intoxicating and set a really unique mood. But, saying that the beat is fire and has many different elements that make it it's own masterpiece
Sid I very true. Very accurate
U can't discount Swae's vocals like that. They're both equally important.
In general producers deserve more credit tho
Not talking bout this song specifically, but producers stay saving rapper's careers nowadays
without rappers, there is no rap - without beat - the rappers got nothing
This is how hiphop beathes.
Ryan Brachamonte that's with any genre of music
Fr
True metro saved alot of artists
Ryan Brachamonte Factz
Guy on the left:
"DoesitlooklikeI'mleftoffunforgettable"
Haha
Lmaooo
Ba a booji
He wanted to be included so mf bad😂
This guy got one of those voices where he stops trying to talk at the end of sentences and just drags it to the end
PicturesJester lol what
PicturesJester i was wondering how to describe his voice and .....you said it perfect lol i thought i was the only one that thought that.
PicturesJester 😂😃😂
I just can't pay attention to him
5:50 he talks just like how you described it
Best series on Genius
I second that, its about time the producers gets some shine!
Breeze programers should have bugatti's
Pen Griffey : well you have to figure out a ton of different stuff. Then the challenge in it is all the potential, possibilities, and combinations in creating a straight banger
Pen Griffey Producing is much than just adding notes in a computer program, you have to actually learn the purpose and sound of every instrument so you can basically do each "band member's" part, more than the techincal stuff you gotta have a good musical sense and a unique style cause no artist wanna sound like everybody else (unless it sales)
Think gnius this segment deserve be in tv show
Song wouldnt have been as popular without Swae Lee
Dat don't you think we ALL know tht
You right.
Dat i give 45% credit to swae, 45% credit to the producers, and 10% to french for this song being a smash
Dat french Montanas entire career is built off collabs. Without them he wouldnt be shit...
Dat facts
Producers need more credit
Jhardwork Pays off thank you
Too true
Lucky enough for me all the artists that I've worked with have given me credit but know that's not the case for most producers anymore. It's said asf. We do all the work
+lil boat without producers, artists songs wouldn't exist.
+lil boat every song made before your comment wouldn't exist without the producers. kodak black would be nothing without the producer for tunnel vision. it wouldn't be the same. future , drake wouldn't be the same without metro boomin. they wouldn't have the producers touch, their mixing technique, production technique. at the end of the day, the artist is just providing the vocal, the producer provides the beat which comprises of so much more, kick , snare , vocal fx , synths etc. producing takes years to perfect and these artists would be working in sainsburys before they can produce something 50% as good
This guy's producer spirit is on point🔥
He's happy with the result and just glad to see people jumping on it, production wise or vocally.
Big up👍
Oliver Fredlund but simps care more about his lips not being chapped lol
Oliver Fredlund ya fr that's how you SHOULD feel after that kinda success. Still can't believe that 🎸 came from a pack, now it's on top of the charts. Sik
i fucking love this series its so inspiring
Sup
Yeah whassup
shout out to all the producers out there hustling and making it happen! Dont give up !
Thank you, Brother! May God give you everything you desire!
Tavish love
More like Swae Lee ft. French Montana
franklin clinton more like your mother ft French Montana
That was so dead wtf ^
MrFlipperInvader782 The Weeknd is terrible compared to swae lee
Mask Off type beats on my channel
RezMah you right "ddg voice"
Red guy can't wait to go solo
Forreal. When the other dude talks for the first time at 2:25 he be like: "Yeah, Yeah go play in the other room. Here's some money go get you an ice cream"
Federico Grosso that part was mad disrespectful
Federico Grosso lol he said yeah before the maroon shirt dude even said anything xd
I feel like the dude in the white shirt was planned his answers in advance too lol
Dude already gone 6:02
We still need "The making of Travis Scott's Goosebumps".
With CuBeatz
tom cubeatz didn’t do the drums
Aiden Mc something has a remake, and I don't know why I'm responding a 3 year old comment
on god
Every time I listen to "Unforgettable" it brings me back to summer 2017. Every time I hit the club and this song started playing, the whole crowd would go crazy. It just gives me that nostalgia that I felt two years ago. Shit even when I traveled to Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia this was the song everyone was listening to. It was world wide!
Song of the summer for sure
jelle de meuter L
jelle de meuter nah, even tho thats a much better song people don't appreciate good music...
I'm the one
jelle de meuter m Nah only unforgettable and im the one have gone platinum already, those two are the biggest songs of the summer
song of the year
I like that they give the producers a chance to show their part because it's not always about the artist!
02:15 That reverse guitar chords are heckin' Genius!
Producers should be appreciated as much as the singers ❤
If Dave Franco and Matthew Mcconaughey had a baby it would be the dude in the maroon sweatshirt
max kraidelman how tf did you even think of that
max kraidelman boi fr😁
max kraidelman shook bc that's so accurate
Totally!! Haha
max kraidelman And the other dude look like Raul
Deconstructed is the best; producers don't get enough credit.
The steel pans were the secret ingredient
Swae lee kinda made the song what it is
not kinda. he DID make the song what it is.
Eric Arias i like french in it, he has the club banger hints
Forreal.
Kinda? Lol. It's his song practically
It was his song, French recognized it was a banger and bought it off him.
Good to see producers are recognized more and more through this channel
We need to pay producers more and pay crappy ass rappers less
Brandon Joo he got $700,000 for a beat he never has to perform
Jazz Belarde how you know?
Unknown P google bro google
Jazz Belarde where the sources
Brandon Joo my bad 300k for video 300k for this
The video part too.......as a Ugandan I believe the hospitality we gave them during the video shoot boosted the song
Lmao crazy how the best takes you to the vibes of Africa. In reality you're at a Frat Party in Indiana 😂😂
CokeBoiiMontana most producers are jews
They are definitely humble dudes, im shocked by this as well. Totally expected someone else behind the board
I've liked this song even before it was a summer hit
TFA congrats bro wanna 🍪
Me too
I've been listening to this since last year November
Ikr
I love these, very inspiring for up and coming producers
med sas : hell ya. One of my career ideas but I'm not sure in myself
I love watching these. It gives me idea's on how to improve and how to lay out beats.
they actually mentioned ramriddlz holy
Zampys wordddddd 🍍
modmon
Zampys Ikr!
Nanaaaa
Yea, the king of this sound.
Glad to see somebody using Reason!
3:06 TRINIDAD & TOBAGO STAND UP! :D
Jason D. Marajh i thought it was Trinidad and Tobacco and its where Tobacco came from
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
TRINII POSSSE
Exodus, desperados, all stars, renegades
we heree
the guy in the white shirt sound like chris from family guy. 💀
I cant stand people who speak like this
Haha so true man
whoiskrow lol
No he doesn't lol
Like if his voice were chopped or something
This is a masterpiece. Well done guys.
Shout out all my Reason producers!
i like the slow pan of the board at 2:04 to show its only purpose is to keep the room warm
This beat came out so epic! 🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
This is the shit I've been waiting for, goddamn.
good to see someone using Reason
Make a beat like one dance and ur song will blow up guarantee
Legal Cake tru
always strive and prosper what the heck is afrotrap? Dafuq these drum patterns are and have been in Latino music called reggeton. Ever heard of daddy Yankee? These drum patterns have been found on Latin music forever. Also the drum pattern is called dembow
Creek Vermillion Not even Reggaeton. It started with Dancehall and eventually Reggaeton borrowed that.
always strive and prosper it can't be Afrotrap because there's no hi-hats that flutter rapidly.
@@mxxxw4529 it's reggaeton lol
dope work
Amazing how our national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago make music sound so beautiful #thesteelpan♥
And then they combined it with a dancehall drumbeat 🇯🇲🇹🇹
Good to see producers using Reason
The steel pans make this song have the carribean vibe too it💯
Finally seeing more people use Reason
The slow down in the end is fuckin incredible
I was waiting sooo long for this !
Wasn't expecting a bunch of nerds from Indianapolis to make this beat...
Altay
Yeah but Ricky Rubin has been in the game for more than 30 years
haha lol me neither but u know what hey say...who run the world (nerds!) haha
Im pretty sure no dumbass high school drop out is smart enough to a make a beat this good so of course they had to be "nerds".
Kanye started producing when he tried made video games so production is for nerds
Andrea Education level has nothing to do with talent idiot. This beat isn't anything special. It's decent.
I kinda wanted to see how he brought the snares to life. Still a great video! Amazing job on the beat
Hi Genius. If you're reading this, please keep these types of videos coming. They're so interesting, it's like deconstructing the music!
jaegen produced this tbh, props to him
Can't lie when Rae Sremmurd first came out I thought they were one and done. But this dude Swae Lees got star power, dude knows how to make a hit
Genius please don't EVER stop making this "making of" video serie....
The production is dope...Swae Lee killed it...the video was wonderful and French's verses were like someone pissing on a nice rug that really tied the room together.
THIS is my fav series on RUclips by far
Swae Lee was the one who carried this song, it’s not even about the beat, he just gave a godly performance and hook
The beat was great and it wouldn't have been as big if the beat was different
lol the whole song is the beat. Swae def killed it but you listen to the instrumental alone it's fire and people comment how sick the vibe is on it
Bro the beat make me wanna dance fr💫
neva been this early... damn, feels greattt
Producers are so damn smart and deserve a lot of credit❤❤
Good seeing Reasons being used for this
Delaino Barris reasons?
Dry Boy Eazy that's the DAW used
Dry Boy Eazy reason
Gotta love that Spanish style rhythm 😍 tryna channel my roots and incorporate that vibe into my beats more
Where's Jaegen????
I’ve seen this a couple months ago and I remember this guy saying “we’ve put the shit that sells” talking about the drums. Genius has edited this for sure
Damn Suarez left Barca? Damn he let himself go.
Barca kicked him out mate lol
Yessir This will forever be unfogattable, Loud from Uganda
Bottoms up every time the guy says ‘like’.
It's not often you see a hiphop producer using reason. Didn't even think you could make a good sounding hiphop beat there but they proved me wrong :O
This Beat & Tune is LIT🔥🔥🔥🔥.. for sure one of my best song for the summer!.. almost feel like a Dancehall tune.
Aye ik u typed this 6yrs ago but if you look up the song on wikipedia it says the composition is a mix between dancehall and hip hop🔥
Thank you 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥
Thanks to GENIUS for giving the producers some recognition
Damn reason is making moves! I see more and more producers using it!
Brian Daniels reason gang!
It’s makin a comeback for sure. Reason was THE shit before Ableton took over. Unfortunately at that time it just wasnt as flexible because they had their own format, Refills, for samples. They also didnt support VST plugins back then either so when Ableton came along and offered those two features along side the Live aspect, Reason took a huge hit. Propellerhead is trying really hard to add the features but the iLok system is going to prevent it from being pirated, which will only damage it’s success. Most people pirate software until they start making money from their beats, then they become loyal customers because that’s the software that helped them make it.
I love how they didnt talk about the vocal atmospheric stuff in the beat that actually made it pop
Those guys are gold
I make beats myself and love to work with others. But there is one question on my mind: how should I split the income (in case there will be any haha)?
How would they split the money for this song for example? I mean 1mind had the idea for the beat, but Jaegen also made some changes on the production. Swae Lee used it first and brought French Montana into it. Obviously the got they earn the bigger part as there is their name on the song, but how much (in per cent) do 1mind and Jaegen get? Any suggestions?
Why does he look like the guy who never made it into a fraternity and goes hiking in Yellowstone over summer with his parents?
LOOOOOOOOOOLLLL this is accurate affff
loooooooooool ffsake ahahaahahahahahh faaaacts
B L lmao
Bruhh I've been waiting for them to make a video for this song
WHERE'S JAEGAN??
That slowed down part was fucking amazing. How didn't make it on the final cut????
Clearly they didn't get the proper royalties from the track. Shout out my fellow producers. They sleep on us.
This is seriously one of my fav beats, period. It’s such an intoxicating vibe. Wouldn’t have expected these guys to create it lol.
upload this series more often
Do knxledge, key wane, wondagurl, or pierre bourne
Farquan they should do more Travis Scott.
Make more of these!!
What sample did French paid to clear
Please make a video for a song from the 808&heartbreaks by kanye west, that would be dope !
im glad they mentioned jaegen
Genius your content continues to get better and better. The next decade of beat making/production/engineering in hip-hop is going to be very interesting.
Songs of the summer
1: unforgettable
2: I'm the one
3: slide
4: Xo tour lif3
Summer full of hits
Been rocking wit 1MIND
Man all the popular dance hall and carribean vibe records are being made by people outside the culture. Just a observation
Yea but dance hall and carribean people get some of their hits from our culture too so its a even trade
T2Thunder 2 I dont care as long they are respectful of the culture
We have the economy to make the technology for making music accessible on a large scale. Plus in the US there are so many different kinds of music, combining one with another to make a song even better is inevitable
Cultures have to mix and mash to progress
So what. There's a demand for it. Who cares where the beats come from or from who.
what daw is that
An actual hit song made in Reason
g.co/kgs/jkCNzC
This one too :)
Plenty of producers made hits with Reason
Drake's "Passionfruit" was made on Reason
They from Indy!? That's fire! We got some musicians coming out of here!
shout out to the producers! the people that work behind the scenes.
can't believe this dude made a beat for french montana & swae lee in the same city where i was getting lit
beat it up like jaegan
You was getting lit at Little 5 👀 shoutout 812 and 317, I see you brother!
One of the best beats ever made
Nicely done! My music appreciation is up.
TRINIDAD & TOBAGO !
Dope man!! thats the dream, im here in sweden trynna do the same thing with producing but it super hard to get heard
