Very cool.
@@dariohhh Lol... I was noting what he said in the video what do you mean be original? I wasn't writing ""how to make a beat" i writing how he made THIS beat. You guys are dumbasses lmao
Genius always choose the best people and the best songs . Plus J.Cole is the goat but besides that we gotta give genius some credit for the camera edits, it’s fire🔥
I swear I can play that guitar loop over and over again and I still won’t get bored of that sound. 🔥 the way those drum patterns bounced of each other gave it that vibe. Best production song on the album.
j cole is the preacher you never knew you needed cause I mean he be breaking down all he major problems in this world. I give props when it’s due and I give j cole allllll the props👏🏼👏🏼
I knew it was guitar strings, but I thought he was consiously using the lo-fi filter from an SP 404 or 303 which imitates the 12 bit aliasing from the SP1200 sampler. A Rhodes sounds more like bells than strings.
T MINUS...I thought this guy disappeared since he used to collaborate with big name artists like Drake a LOONG time ago. Good to see a video on my favorite song on *K.O.D* 🙌🔊
What I love about deconstructed is you hear sounds you didn’t hear before and then when you go to the song you can hear them perfectly. Am I the only one ?
Amazing producer. Dude has been on here a few times now. Stacking subtleties to create gold! Much respect. Melodically very strange but just works so well.
What makes this song work so well is how Cole's voice sits on top of the track. The mic choice and mastering is fire, but what I think did it was how much space this dude left for the vocals.
Love the deconstruct... The guy stepped out of the typical trap beat.. As he said at the end it has that trap feel with a soulful vibe. Perfect combination.
I'm honestly stoked to see T-Minus uses FL. I always feel this nagging feeling like "you've gotta switch to Ableton or Reason sooner or later", but I never actually feel like I want to. It's always nice to see accomplished producers still rocking with FL.
I really love genius and how they are focusing and giving credit to the artist it makes me happy also to see they are not focusing on just trap and more modern things but doing stuff like this is awesome. love u Genius
Honestly I got more respect for he’d producers than I have for these rappers. Aside for guys like cole, em, kendrick, Joyner, mick etc. basically the versatile lyrical guys. Guys like that I admire but being a producer takes so much talent maybe even more than rapping where as most of these rappers just pray they get a hit song then blow up while the producers have to either go to college and learn music theory or learn t themselves or from a mentor. Learn how other instruments blend together and on top of that learn what color is in music and incorporate it into the beats then after all of that find a way to stand out from other producers in the game and consistently produce
Andrew Kear that’s why I said I respect real rappers. These mumble rappers just sit in their moms house say words that rhyme and just blow up compared. I know there are real artist in the game game hats why I acknowledged them aka kendrick, cole, em, chance, Sean etc
Ok T-Minus we all know that it's the spinz 808, you don't have to hide it we still love you. (Technically from a BWB pack but it's from the vault which is essentially a greatest hits collection of sounds).
thank you T-Minus
Beibs in the Trap next
Genius could you try and do VVS by Jazz Cartier next? That instrumental is insane
No stylist by french montana please!
genius please deconstruct Taste by Tyga and D.A Doman !!
I just dropped my first beat on Soundcloud, any response is apreciated. If you like it leave a follow and i´ll follow back, much love

I noticed the camera edits too. Kind of aligning itself with the lo-fi nature of the track.

J Cole needs to come on deconstructed aswell
Finch He’s too big for that
FACTS !!!!
He has
Eliott Butler no
@@animjock1571 so is murda beats but he still came on here
Man Genius comping up the with behind the track videos, its so dope, you get to witness how it went down in person.
Chinmay Mandavgane where’s your aid buddy?
he goes "its a really simple beat".... he's using whale sounds.
Lol its a preset... most of the track is sampled based so it is quite straight forward.
😂😂😂
Real shit tho! Lmao I was thinking the same thing
Simple to him.
it's a very simple beat
You can tell this guy is immensely talented. He was born to do this.
I swear I can play that guitar loop over and over again and I still won’t get bored of that sound. 🔥 the way those drum patterns bounced of each other gave it that vibe. Best production song on the album.
Hands down best song on K.O.D
nah

RubyDaCherry ' yea these last two years or so he’s become a legend
Negative, Kendrick better
Let’s be clear. Cole for sure the GOAT
He's not even top 100 all time
d o m i n i c h hey man. Imma say this with all disrespect.
Stop breathing.
It's interesting I thought the loop was a bit more rhodes-y if that makes sense
Seriously did not think it was a jazz guitar.
I knew it was guitar strings, but I thought he was consiously using the lo-fi filter from an SP 404 or 303 which imitates the 12 bit aliasing from the SP1200 sampler. A Rhodes sounds more like bells than strings.
sounds sooooo rhodes-y but it always tripped me up because you can make out the strumming
Yeah shit just blew my mind
Elijah Logan same
T MINUS...I thought this guy disappeared since he used to collaborate with big name artists like Drake a LOONG time ago. Good to see a video on my favorite song on *K.O.D* 🙌🔊
LeBeautiful he had a genius video like a year ago
He got songs on every Drake album i think
You just disappeared that's all

Genuinely thought that that main melody was an electric Rhodes piano of some sort 😂. It’s amazing what mixing can do.
TheoMkheez yeah I love a that bit crusher
Amazing producer. Dude has been on here a few times now. Stacking subtleties to create gold! Much respect. Melodically very strange but just works so well.
He's been in the game for a long time too, I'm glad he's still relevant
So detailed. Really makes you appreciate the work producers put into their beats.
The production on this is next level. Gotta respect the craft.
One of my favourite tracks this year🔥 that guitar loop makes me wanna hear an acoustic version now
Please make a deconstructed of astrothunder by travis scott
Swear down g
That song is 👌🏾
I love all these 80's retro sounds that are coming back in modern hip hop form
What makes this song work so well is how Cole's voice sits on top of the track. The mic choice and mastering is fire, but what I think did it was how much space this dude left for the vocals.
The editing and cinematography on this episode is top notch 🔥keep it up Genius/crew
This is absolutely insane. Had no idea how incredible the process of making these beats are
BEEN WAITIN TOO LONG FOR THIS SHITTTT 🔥🔥🔥🔥THANKS GENIUS!
Watching these always inspires me to keep creating more. Thank you for this series Genius.
This was so comforting to watch 😭😭😭
prettiest song on kod
Now its time to get Cole himself
Editing was awesome in this video. Keep this series up
I think Genius like T minus
Albo Black well he’s a god
Who doesn’t?
Ludwig?
Finally someone who actually shows the actual processing (what effects he uses).
Thanks!
Not gonna lie that guitar cord sounded like slide in the beginning
Lol, I thought that too

One of the most fire series of videos on youtube
4:43 thought about passionfruit flute for a moment
“The making of” videos are the best! Another great one!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Finally a song worth being DECONSTRUCTED
thanks Genius please never stop making these making of videos they are very inspiring.
"this track is very simple"
*3 hihats, a lot of drums and a hundred effects*
I didn’t even realize the beat sounded like that and I love that song. Cole is just legendary man
"simple beat"
**adds three different hi hats**
Hands down my favorite video series on RUclips💯keep it coming Genius
I honestly would love if they extended the length of the series to go a bit more in depth.
T minus really the goat producer. Drake, Kendrick, Cole, Lil Wayne, the list goes on for ever... this man created a ton of hits
I want PRBLMS from 6lack
Yo props to Genius for showcasing beat makers. Always been wanting to see this type of content.
excellent guitar chords
Creative work put into this track and the whole album, makes the music Cole make even more respected and appreciated. #coleworld 💯
Yes, another good deconstruction. As well as Stay, Pursuit Of Happiness, Redbone.
T-Minus one of my favorite producers and one of my favorite tracks on the album
Now I'll be intentionally listening for the whale call 😫
Its so refreshing to hear straight soulful musical production layered up so well.
can you please make deconstructed videos of Rum 151 or any other tracks produced by Christo (tichristo) in DiCaprio 2?
One of my favorite tracks off KOD. Glad they did a deconstructed of this beat!
T-Minus the GOAT no cap
i saw this pop up in my notifications and I immediately clicked on it. favorite Genius series.
How many likes can we get for Cole the 🐐???
Sooo DOPE!!!! Now where can I just listen to that original guitar chord on repeat??!!! Can't get enough of it!
First beat on genius that's complicated lol
Redbone was complex
The jaden Smith beat was complicated, and Passion Fruit.

Darius Johnson thats just cause C-note is lit lmao
Don't ever stop this series

j cole is a synonym for best
So simple production with great producer's spirit
Hey Cole, I know you gonna be watching this my g 😂 Give me that Revenge of the Dreamers 3 👊🏾
Hearing everything come together is so dope 🔥🔥🔥
Wish they did a Larry Fisherman beat before he passed , but good shit nonetheless 🔥🔥
Khari Lawrence Diablo
