[@oliveoil3917]

Cbat blows everything out of the water

[@qb2626]

real

[@ButtermilkJesusTypeBeat]

was looking for this lmao

[@danielfalcon]

💀💀💀

[@tylerbarr5733]

This beat and composition is iconic

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

🔥

[@hi_its_jerry]

its Hudson Mohawke after all!

[@alt5072]

Cbat guy co produced blood on the leaves and waves, impressive to say the least

[@euan5091]

He also made the watch dogs 2 soundtrack, amazing guy

[@user-op9ko9jb4d]

​​​@@euan5091 you can really hear the choir in waves sounding similar to the loading screen in the game

[@euan5091]

@@user-op9ko9jb4d exactly, masterpiece of an album

father stretch my hands part 1 and connect by drake also

[@rcea2217]

NAH I REMEMBER HEARING THE TITLE THEME FOR WATCH DOGS 2 AND THINKING IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE WAVES, OFC BOTH OF THEM WERE MADE BY HUDSON THAT'S SICK

[@purlink1394]

Literally, I just listened to the song and was like wth that's watchdogs 2?

[@prakharverma1634]

Literally same dudeee

[@holidaycomplex]

waves was my shit in 2016! tlop was what made me want to be a producer in the first place

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Thank you for watching!

[@bluuzu]

I listened to waves recently and I thought « this sounds like a song from watch dogs 2 », and now I just realized that hudson produced both waves and watch dogs 2 soundtrack

[@yves9245]

I like your watch dogs themed profile pic

[@T4xEvader]

Yeah this is the watch dogs theme, he even used the drums from this video as the official drums on it since kanye didnt like hudmo’s drums

[@Dragoneer]

The WD2 theme is iconic as well, sounds exactly like this and I bet was made the same way using Gross Beat. Love using it myself…

[@vyce.]

no way he uses FL, such a beast

[@g.o.9513]

You are too

[@LupeJustinian]

After you use it for a little while, it's easy to spot how many high profile producers use it 😂

[@Dragoneer]

I love the fact that he uses FL Studio as his main DAW and Gross Beat. That’s what I use, so it feels more inspiring to me. Gross Beat is one of my favorite effects because it can automate the whole sampling process and you can create time shift and noise gate patterns really easily with it

[@T4xEvader]

Just realized, since kanye changed the kicks and removed the snares from waves, he took the drums from this and turned it into the watch dogs theme, even using the same VST to chop up the same chorus sample.

[@OSNINETYFIVE]

this video shows how underrated hudson is man. the experimentation he's done for his own material and the influence kanye knew he had just shows mans deserves his flowers

[@poindextertunes]

I remember listening to HudMo back in the day and then when Ye signed him I thought “yeah that makes perfect sense” and the music they put out is imo the gold standard of where a song should be sonically

[@oliveoil3917]

Now cbat is blowing up

[@migatronn]

Outstanding use of the synth in this song. Puts me on another planet.

[@jwizdum2103]

Sick as hell to hear that other sample that they took out, that shit sounded crazy

[@cclark3]

Every time Cudi's voice comes on I start floating bro

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

🌊

[@ifirekirby7498]

I feel like this video can be an inspiration to a lot of artists out there, you don't have to have the most skill technicality-wise, you just have to know what's catchy and have a good ear for that. It can create legendary songs like this one.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Absolutely 👌 Thanks for watching!

[@don_dimeh]

Such an underrated producer. Those who know, know about Hudson Mohawke.

[@alicemiriah]

This is still on my top 25 played. After looking up the samples I fell in love even more. Amazing song from start to finish

[@katlego720]

Hudson Mohawke made Butter in FL, that is all you need to know about the man, absolute LEGEND!

[@luxurycloudservice7074]

I had no idea that album was made in Florida! Love Hudmo!

[@thomasneuenschwander8953]

One of my favorite beats of all time. Thank you for creating this video.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Thanks for watching, Thomas!

[@michaelhanna5261]

This man also made Cbat

[@Altairassassin389479]

the song lives off the contrast between Chris Brown and Cudi imo

[@user-jq3uo9od8e]

Ye a mix of them and more for me

[@hlokomani]

why doesnt this have more views

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

It's getting there, thank you for watching!

[@gingerbeardbeats]

That Enigma sample under some drums is amazing.

[@jamaalpearsall246]

Yeah I got a crazy ass idea for it. Had it 4 years

[@gregtanner2836]

Even the drums on the original enigma song are pretty hard. It’s a fcking dope song 🔥

[@god5590]

Waves is one of my favorites off LoP album for sure

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Simplicity is key and this beat is a perfect example of that mantra. We hope you enjoy this video and to all our U.S. viewers, have a healthy and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday 👊

[@poindextertunes]

picked up one of your 10” Studio Woofers. Very well made 💪🏻 and now I don’t have to do go out and do a car check to get my sub sonics right!

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi GoodLuckBeatz! glad to hear!!:)

[@GrandpaCaleb]

You could hear the similar pattern he ended up using for the watch dogs 2 theme in the making

[@thequackingpanda6129]

the reason i loved this song so much is because it reminded me of watch dogs AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME KANYE WROTE IT?!?!?!?!?

[@thequackingpanda6129]

sorry im stupid THE PRODUCER not KANYE im dumb lmao

[@GrandpaCaleb]

@@thequackingpanda6129 lol yep, Hudson mohawke is Goated. Check my page, I added them together in one. (Not the best but will replace that vid later lol)

[@s0mbongg]

i swear, when i play WD2 its remind me of this song lol

[@khansolllo]

my fav beat on tlop. holy fuck this is illuminating

[@alicemiriah]

I thought Kanye was the one who removed the pure moods sample. Now that I know it was this guy who did it, idc that it was removed anymore 😂 Now I’m going to do a deep dive on this guy. What a genius

[@dddgtsd]

his new album is mental! Check it out

[@adamnave1078]

yep hudson is e0pic

[@brucemichaelgrossman4913]

I wish they left the enigma sample in. It was fire.

[@NChapaWI9436]

The fact that this is the same guy that made cbat is crazy

[@s0mbongg]

i remember playing WD2 and its remind me of this song lol

[@laszlopeterbalazs8040]

Well yeah kanye didn't pay shit so he reused it in watchdogs 2

[@vxncentvvs]

As soon as I heard the choir I knew it was Hudson Mohawke. The WD2 theme lol

[@poindextertunes]

THAT ENIGMA SAMPLE THOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@yoitmeree]

So happy I found this. One of the prettiest instrumentals I ever heard

[@stigmabeats4105]

Damn this the same guy who made the Reddit sex song 😮

[@YMCMB11100]

Can we please stop for a sec and look at this beautiful view this guy has at his house every freaking morning..

[@YMCMB11100]

No wonder he creates vibes like this with such an iconic view man

[@kegstandjesus]

absolutely dumbfounded by finding out this information. i don't know what to do with it.

[@jamesfield1674]

His new album so good "Bicstan" such great vibes

[@se3saw]

He used the same gated pads for the watchdogs 2 ost

[@OUTSHADES]

holy S, Damn, you guys bringing the best people

[@alwaystheparadox]

Bruh even his pc is crackling haha i thought it was my speakers

[@mrvron]

i guess they said FL studio for any professional production its so refreshing to see that even kanye production involves the use of this DAW. marketing is only industry standard----- guess they never say musical standard.

[@kareemklas7091]

Can't wait to see more of these videos! Absolutely love it! 🙏🏽

So awesome. How did you decide on the chord progression was it off the top of the head or from the sample

[@thp8485]

Sounds like it came from that original sample

[@stateboliracku1]

we need more of these breakdown videos ADAM! :)

Ive always known of hudson mohawke, but ive never known what he looked like and this is not what i imagined he looked like lol

[@diegospidero9801]

he has several versions of FL studio in the taskbar lmao

1:00 would have been good as a breakdown section but I guess the song was fire as it is so...🤷

[@brokenglassmusic]

goat 🐐

[@TStamp-lw4ku]

I wonder which part Kanye & Metro Boomin did

[@BrothaGoneBased]

Ok so I'm looking at the levels of the his mixer at the first at 0:25.... and they are so much higher than what ive learned. What is he using to compress those sounds lol. Every time I get in the +2db range i'm clipping. Is it sound selection, compression or just for the video. Ridiculous. Im guessing the mixing engineer is correcting this right?

[@vj7248]

There's a video that goes over that quite well, look up; "The Future of Mastering: Loudness in the Age of Music Streaming" To answer abit, those audio levels you see in a mixer are misleading and not the true way to determine loudness. (Yes, this blew my mind when I learned all previous advice was a lie...)

[@BrothaGoneBased]

@@vj7248 Yea after doing further research eventually I kinda figured this out. Now all my mixes are basically looking like this relatively 😂. Crazy thing is I had that video bookmarked from like 3 years ago and watched it, and probably disregarded cause I didn't fully understand it. Thank you though.

[@jaypryor]

What PC monitor is that?

[@tylerolson7089]

would rather watch one of these with him doing one of his wild songs. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@KameTrueBlonde345]

Can you explain where you got the “turn it up” sample!!!!! Every time I find a source it never sounds like it’s the right sample. Help me find it!!

[@djgaaabrieu]

It's the "Vox (4)" from the BWB THE WAVE Vol. 2 sample pack

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

how does he make brass so massive

[@djaejones8785]

So what was Chance’s involvement?

[@YaBoiDoi]

Sex song guy makes some really dope songs

[@Luke-Nightingale]

Had hudson used the first sample" from an Enigma track." Wouldn't he have to pay enigma for it's use ? Such a grey area I still don't get it.

[@avdb1092]

Yes he would've ha to clear the sample

[@chainsawteddybear]

What track??

[@Luke-Nightingale]

@@chainsawteddybear Return to innocence by Enigma. can hear him play this on youtube at 1.00 . in saying that . Enigma chopped a lot of their samples form other stuff .. sample of a sample of a sample .......... Inception

[@zanelunars6174]

I want that Tania sample

[@milk5002]

It sounds like the Watch Dogs 2 theme

Was thinking the same 🤔

Isn't this the watch dogs 2 theme song?

Ye will take production writing and production credits while doing not more than 10% of the song lol😂
