As a music student, I had a talk today with my vocal teacher about how music itself is a language that speaks to all of us through lyrics and through music itself conveying emotions and feelings any and everyone can feel. This lead to a conversation about lyricism which lead to talking about Kendrick Lamar and his Pulitzer and how much of a true accomplishment in modern music this is. Mind you this woman is an opera teacher and she smiles at me and says “I just love Kendrick so much” when i asked her if she had heard of the beef she had no idea about it but when I summed it all up and how he called Drake a PDF file she laughed and said “good for him! Someone needed to do that!” This thing is bigger than rap if you’ve got the entire classical and operatic communities talking about this and taking Kendrick’s side. Makes me appreciate music even more. And let’s be real K dot danced on drakes headstone after this latest diss.

This algorithm working on overtime right now.

4:05 - 4:20, why did that hit like a solid bar?

I think Kendrick should do a Red Bull Symphonic show where his music will be orchestrated.

Some pretty wild stuff: Igorrr, Naked City, Coil, FES, Michael Gordon... Igorrr - basically anything from this band, but try ieuD, or tendon, or cheval as a starter. Igorrr is wild because it mixes an enourmous amount of genres. Naked City - Torture Garden. An extreme album, 41 tracks in 26 minutes or so. Michael Gordon - dystopia FES (Flat Earth Society) - St Louis Blues - This anarchist band takes big band to the max. Coil - it's in my blood.

I feel validated. Never understood why people only listen to particular genres. I love most music I hear.

what's with the spooky audio glitch at 8:44 ?

It's not possible for me to like Doja Cat because her music is objectively of bad taste.

Now do a 10 ways to write a chord progression to an existing melody

Now if you could breakdown "not like us" by Kendrick, that would be awesome

he was also a emcee, his hero was also a music producer, by the name of Pete Rock, look it up And salute to you for Biggin' up J Dilla, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What an amazing in-depth breakdown of a musical genius. Sometimes I think even Kendrick doesn't realise how much he pushes the boundaries, it's just innate to him. Great video!

I with this 👌 🙌 💯

I think you got the nomenclature wrong. the beat is in fact the drum track - with many 'producers' calling the kick or bass drum 'the 808'. the music is often called the 'melody'. not as in a true melody as had always been known in music - no reference to 'harmony' in rap music. just beats, melody and, well, the rap.

We're you approached by the BBC or is there a process to get your piece accepted for the Proms?

Why tf Im nerdin out on music for no reason? I aint no musician 😆😂

7:45: Magnus Carlsen is playing, lol...

analyse ‘not like us’ now 😈

Who’s here after “meet the grahams”?😂😂

I love the hammered dulcimer..... maybe someday I'll learn how to play it somehow

Where can I hear all of the original piece at the end of this video?

One of my favorite arrangements was based on "Adagio for Strings," which used a choir instead and was emplaced in the video game "Homeworld." It's possibly my favorite rendition of the piece.

Sry but fab was just rapping

Hey David, you look like RomanianTeevee's father haha. Regardless, good stuff in this video, got my subscribe!

I love the way he talks about Kendricks music with so much appreciation

These are some of the stupid comments I have yet heard.

Alright kept me from jumping off the ledge during some dark times I’m just saying

when does it get to the part with good music

This Must’ve been like having the most badass DJ table in old school taverns

I think Sadderday by tobi lou is in 3/4

Great lesson and explanation.

After four years, still loving the fluidity between rigid and playful, meditative and flashy. And I still don't know what classical composers look for, only what they avoid.

The Light(Common), Find My Way(Tribe Called Quest)from Dilla were mainstream

There are a lot of hip hop songs in 3/4, but you have to look a little deeper to find them. They’re not usually singles, they’re b side tracks or bonuses.

Str8 on-the-grid beats dominate, cos they're better.

I don't know a lot about music but I think the song death march by immortal technique is in 3:4 time.

Such a fantastic video so full of useful informations and feels

For the elf one they should’ve had a more scary sounding vocalist

I didnt understand a god dam thing but it was interesting

I would hesitate to really use "metamondernist" too much, it's a bit of a nonsense word, much more than "postmodernist", which is saying something. It's originally a philosophical project, rather than an artistic one, and it has all kinds of pretty glaring problems from a philosophical perspective. Would recommend the Pill Pod's episode on that if anyone's interested, which is here on KZbin and always excellent and accessible.

fantastic video! Ive been mixing and making beats for since growing up in the 80s and 90s. Dilla has been atop my producer list since jump so naturally your video was easy to click on! So wonderful in explaining grooves and subdivisions, and the *feel* i dig it and thank you 🙏🎶

EUPHORIA

yo

What beat was kendrick rapping on in the song euphoria?

GREAT researchm thanks. Your compositions, great too!

Doja Cat is garbage.

who where cuz of dinkbot

3651 seems very common. Not sure exactly but in Jazz it is likely the most prevalent progression, which if true would make Jazz to be ‘A Turnaround’.

Very enjoyable video. Thank you. Totally hear you regarding the great Sibelius and using Lenny for the example of the 7th was perfect, as he did it beautifully.

This is great. Do this with Eminem’s rhyme schemes.
