If it were like a Netflix of original content creators, making monetization easier. For example, you pay like 10 bucks a month, and you get to choose 10 different channels. More people would buy in.

    @Jack-ud3vz Год назад +12

    Dude, I stg. You are officially goated. Really thankful for your breakdowns, because you somehow have the same taste as me and as a guitar player / producer who was introduced to hip-hop through MF DOOM back in 2009 and became obsessed with it + neo-soul + funk + jazz + rnb + soul among many other genres of music, but having grown up on rock / metal and pop-punk as a child. Did a bit of a 180 and studied music production, with a particular interest in dillatime. Currently learning how to play and sing a handful of D'Angelo tracks. Some of my first beats were my trying to copy MM Food sampling old cartoons. Been thinking about learning the bass now because it just looks like so much fun. Anyway shit none of this is relevant but this video was incredibly creative. You deserve more subs honestly.

I'd to look it up as I've never heard they were Scandinavian and I think you've got it mixed together. The sample comes from a French band called Cortex, but there was also a Swedish band called Cortex (though in a different genre). Great work anyway - keep it up! :)

    Holy crap - as someone who downloaded a lot of DOOM from different sources, it was always weird / thrilling to hear different versions (like on spotify) using different samples in some places, or slightly different production techniques, that would give me the same "hang on - did you hear that?". Hearing this, at first I thought it was the same thing - different version, different words... before realizing what you did. Brilliant. Now to watch the video. Thank you so much for all you've done in the past, really looking forward to seeing this one.

    Really appreciate the creative twist you took in this video but admittedly I don't think it quite landed. I'm personally watching to see you do what you do best and your commentary is why I'm subscribed. The doom voice was fun for a minute but I do think it was quite overused and honestly took me out of the video for most of it. Again I really love this channel, but what I love about it is the classic video style you've been bringing

    I LOVE the MF DOOM videos. Watching someone go and really break apart what makes your favorite artist and their work what it is, and with such high production quality videos, is AWESOME.

    Great video, but the sample nerd in me itched when you said One Beer sampled a Scandanavian group! They're French! Again, great video. Nerds gon' nerd.
