wondagurl is so so underrated, deserves all her flowers right now, played such a big role in travis and don tolivers career and for trap music in general
Utopia gave everyone that's actually creative hope to be creatives again and still feel you can make it. We no longer we have to feel we need to be cookie cutter to have a fighting chance any more.
I recommend all of you go listen to Scaring The Hoes from JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown because after listening to that, I can’t help but feel like Utopia isn’t as creative as people hype it up to be. You will never hear another song like Steppa Pig or Garbage Pale Kids.
Bumping Utopia on a daily and it still grows on me. Even tho there are some sections which i dont like, i'd say its a great Album. And from the production side it definitely raises the bar
It’s insane that this album is primarily based off older samples cause it sounds like a lot of the samples were created from scratch recently because of how modern it sounds in todays music.
I think that just like Kanye inspired a young generation with 808's, a lot of artists in a few years from now will say that this album has inspired them.
Good video as always bro. I like what they did with the hi hats on Gods Country also. They have a very nice rhythm. My Eyes is one of my favorite songs off the album just because it’s so different. Travis has always thought outside the box. His music breaks all the genre lines.
@@NavieD for sure. The amount of effort that goes behind a Travis Scott Album is more effort than mainstream rappers put behind their whole careers and it shows.
I just happy to see someone as big as Travis Scott using samples in their songs in 2023. So many people hate on samples. They don't understand how many songs actual use them.
I love the way you explain the tricks used in drum parts! Coming up with an original drum pattern that also works well in the context of the song is legit one of the hardest things to do, but also one of those things that make the song immediately stand out (which is the case with most songs on Utopia). I'd definitely love to see more of that!
Utopia the greatest album I've ever heard. I am learning as a producer, and it is helping me shape into what sound I want to make. This break down from you was incredible.
This breakdown inspired me to dive deeper into traditional African music. A lot of drum patterns to be borrowed from. This album was definitely interesting and inspiring.
They way you break down all these beat patterns and sound structures from most of his songs from utopia is just mind boggling. Like it's almost as complicated given the fact there's more than two producers for each song. Big ups man 🔥
Navie D there’s one producer i’d like to see you analyze and see his ways of creativity his name is Monte Booker not many people know of him but if you do have the chance look him up he has very unique sounds
That sample reconstruction technique as you showcase it, may be new, but it's roots lie in remixing or seperating a sample into layers. That's something I hope everybody who watches these types of vids always keeps in mind, never discard "old techniques" because there may come a point in time where you can reapply them with new tools to create something innovative. That's why I like when some of your videos show off old-school techniques, because I feel like a lot of newer producers lack the connection to those.
This album is slowly growing on me there’s a few songs I don’t like but songs like Hyaena, telekinesis, lost forever, etc have great production and performances. BTW does anyone know which parts Alc produced on Lost Forever is it just the opening sample?
Great video! Been experimenting with stem splicing with Spleeter, which is free, for quite some time now (a couple years). Wasn't perfect at the time, but got the job done - glad to see it's a technology that's used more now
Un grand merci a BIG thanks from France it was amazing to learn about the instrumental on the Utopia album. I LOVE IT thank you again and I wish you the best.
I first heard Delresto from the album when it dropped and I was blown away, I knew it sounded different. But when I listened to Hyena… I could not believe my ears. So different to everything else and experimental. Incredible album!
So many crazy production tricks he used. Some of which i was already using or planning to use. Stem splitting is a no-brainer. I thought you would bring up how he's been using AI to manipulate some of the popular vocal samples.
lets not forget that kanye co produced gods country, thank god and telekinesis (future sounds). which ends up giving an even more unique sound to utopia
Bro I want to submit a beat one day, I’ve used so many of the techniques you’ve mentioned before even finding your channel. I just don’t feel satisfied with my beats.

I like that perspective. It's cool to see risks taken at such a high level
Bro, yes 🙏I felt the same way. Be authentic and unique 🔥 what an amazing thing to take away from Utopia
@@TheRealDahli right on 🙏🏾
@@NavieD yezzir. Travis did us a favor stepping out of this generic wave everyone wants to surf

The rhythm of the percussion in lost forever is very common in west african music.
Bumping Utopia on a daily and it still grows on me. Even tho there are some sections which i dont like, i'd say its a great Album. And from the production side it definitely raises the bar
Yeah the production is top level
It’s insane that this album is primarily based off older samples cause it sounds like a lot of the samples were created from scratch recently because of how modern it sounds in todays music.
@@athe6thfacts!!
listening to them it's crazy how good the mixing on the album is too, to make them sound so clear and punchy
MIKE DEAN THE GOAT WHEN IT COMES TOO MIXING THESE SHORTA MAXIMALISTIC PROJECTS!@@三三三三-f9y
That’s why the album so goated cuz it ties the past with the present and future not only with the sound but with Travis’s career progression
I think that just like Kanye inspired a young generation with 808's, a lot of artists in a few years from now will say that this album has inspired them.
This album was inspired by Yeezus so yet again Kanye has been inspiring with his projects that he released more than 10 years ago
@@AsherneZok?
@@plvtobeats Im sorry some fun facts annoyed you so much that you hade to reply to me. Have a good day
Reminds me of early kid cudi beats. Utopia def gonna be a gem years down the road

That sample in sirens has people in my country going crazy😂🔥

Serato studio has the best stem separation tool I have I ever used.
Nice job on that beat you made at the end of the video, sounds really unique. Appreicate you Navie!
Utopia feels like a stepping stone. I think we’re in travis’ time now
You’re the best for putting out content out like this you don’t know how much your videos have informed me as a young producer
Brilliant breakdown thank you
An excellent video as always Navie. Thanks for all your effort!
Glad to see That kalindula and Zamrock will potentially be more appropriated cause of Sirens, but s/o to sampa the great for putting it on the map🔥🔥
Zambia has a lot to offer🦅🔥🔥
Is this a good thing or a bad thing

Karim Benzema doin music production tutorials. This is sick!
You gotta make a vid about Kenny Segal, specifically his beats for Hiding Places and Maps
I just love the fact that Travis Scott sampled a song from my country Zambia 🇿🇲 on Sirens. 🔥🔥🔥
So glad you're talking ab this! ngl hearing the album I immediatly thought of Kanye's production.
you're a legend for showing that sample website blessings
I’ve actually tried this type of sampling (although not as good) and it’s kind of fun. You get rearrange every element of the original sample
god i love your videos so much
I love you so much
Using space in music like this is the reason I always felt Linkin Park was so good. So much little details and the variety of it is amazing.
In sirens the hi-hats percussion was made with in the kalindula format which is the same type of music the original sample was trying to embody
Why am I watching Karim Benzema analysing Travis Scott's music
What makes those 2000‘s P diddy guitar beats (like need a girl part 2) so unique and fire?? Could you make a video on that?
awesome video and great look into the very under-appreciated production and drums of the best album from last year
Navie D there’s one producer i’d like to see you analyze and see his ways of creativity his name is Monte Booker not many people know of him but if you do have the chance look him up he has very unique sounds
yessssss

thank you NAVIE D you now have my subscription. this will help me a lot.
This album is slowly growing on me there’s a few songs I don’t like but songs like Hyaena, telekinesis, lost forever, etc have great production and performances. BTW does anyone know which parts Alc produced on Lost Forever is it just the opening sample?
I think the Alchemist produced the second half of the song. The part with Westside Gunn.
@@dandeluxe8731yeah I agree
Also he produced the last beat on skitzo
thanks for sharing the knowledge 🔥
Thank you bro, you make this so easy to learn 💪
Ayy awesome man
What's wild is that I used many of these techniques on my last project with just my MPC.
Great breakdown/video man 🫡
Great video! Been experimenting with stem splicing with Spleeter, which is free, for quite some time now (a couple years). Wasn't perfect at the time, but got the job done - glad to see it's a technology that's used more now
Insane, the producers are geniuses
I LOVE U FOR SHOWING ME VOCALREMOVER I WILL DEFINTLY KEEP WATCHING YOU
Thank you for this one bro. I‘m really impressed on how you made your own beat, like fr. One of the best Utopia type beats I‘ve heard.
Mhen you’re blessed for Analyzing this process relatively ❤❤❤❤
Those HHs on Lost Forever almost sound like some snare/brush combo
These type videos are insanely helpful
Un grand merci a BIG thanks from France it was amazing to learn about the instrumental on the Utopia album. I LOVE IT thank you again and I wish you the best.
This reminds me a little of your Timbland Alyaha video.
*your production is another level mann✨🔥✨🔥KEEP IT UPPP!*
Your beat at the end is fire
my favourite utopia video thank you man
8:30 the original sample is from "Krzysztof Komeda - Rosemary's Baby"
Thanks
Buen video benzema
man Benzema makes video essays now?
u so funny
Bro you going crazy…. This dope af!
Beat splitting is gonna blow up thanks to FL Studio recent release having a built in splitter.
I first heard Delresto from the album when it dropped and I was blown away, I knew it sounded different. But when I listened to Hyena… I could not believe my ears. So different to everything else and experimental. Incredible album!
thanks benzema
love your videos, really amazing
Dude helped make Yeezuz. Can’t expect mid from a guy like that.
benzema the producer isn't real he can't hurt you
benzema as a producer:
Great video & beat at the end!🤘🏼🔥
travis has been using the weird hi hats for 10+ years now. listen to "lights (love sick)"
Ngl lost forever with that kick snare drum pattern wouldve went insane
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, you're awesome!!!!
that beat in the end is crazy
You really out here doing gods work bro 💪
Great beat at the end! I can picture Travis using that for sure 👍🏽
never would have thought that benzema understands producing
I love your title bro. So positive
Thank you benzema
Really good video my guy need more🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love your videos and teaching style. Please do a tutorial on serato sample.
Damn I was using a technique before Travis Scott did that's sick
its just soooo much detail within the album that made me a fan of it
The sample splicing reminds me of 9th Wonder’s style who learned from Pete Rock which although he did do the same, 9th took it farther.
Wow navie is becoming my fav creator now
we need more like a part 2

Damn Bro u look like Karim BENZEMA I swear..
Anyway nice video bro 🔥
nice to see balon d'or winner kareem benzema taking time out of his day to show us what a musical talent travis scott is
😭
great video karim
benzema
dude awesome video!
One of the best, your explaining bro thats what i mean
I think they made great uses for these beats lol . Bro used to the same sample in 3 different applications to get different sounds
Thanks benzema♥️♥️
Bro I want to submit a beat one day, I’ve used so many of the techniques you’ve mentioned before even finding your channel. I just don’t feel satisfied with my beats.
Great job deconstructing those tracks and its sauce!! 🔥🙏 Keep up the awesome work dude!
Production is crazyyy
He sampled a zamrock song from.zambia in one of his songs🇿🇲🖤
The production on this album really carries it. Honestly, an instrumental or features only version would go crazy.
Great Job
Hey you look like Benzema when he won the Ballon D'Or
i won’t lie, i’m not usually a big fan of your content, but this video was a gem. you have great knowledge as always i just tend to find the videos very vanilla, which is fine, and a bit repetitive. but EVERYONES been shouting out and taking sponsors from paid stem separators and the first thing you say is a free one that sounded great in the example, much love for that. i feel like you pushed yourself outside your box with this one and would love to see more of this caliber because i think it’s great.in the future try to reiterate on topics and concepts seen in old videos less and you’re already very quirky but try to be more weird, i think more personality would be endearing. anyway much love and if you see this comment know it’s all because i think you’re a great teacher and i state my criticism only hoping to see improvement❤️
