[@slowestjabroni]

The only remake producer I've caught on youtube that actually uses proper sound engineering principals and deduction to make INCREDIBLY close/accurate remakes. I love it man. Never stop! Lining up wave forms etc makes me so fucking happy. The shazam at the end of your more recent videos is just the icing on top imo.

Also s!6teen. He remakes a lot of Pierre beats. And Tm88 even posted his xotour remake.

[@TheJJBebop]

kefang has a very similar style his remakes are pretty accurate

[@blacklite911]

Plus he does a lot of research. The way he made the sample the whole melody then sped it up then put it into gross beat is not intuitive lol. That’s something that only comes up when you’re in a session trying stuff.

I do actually remember the first i heard it. It was in the gym summer 2017. I remember being conflicted because I was against "mumble rap" but I knew that it was super catchy and I couldn't convince myself not to like it. This song was one of the main reasons I began to embrace that new generation of rap

[@velvetabstractstart]

I was the same way

I first heard Xo Tour Llif3 when I was on vacation in Georgia with my sister, it was probably like summer 2017 and it played on the radio and my sister said “omg this is the best song ever, do you know lil uzi vert?” and at the time I was like 10 so I didn’t really listen to music, but after listening to uzi I’ve been in love with rap and that song always has the vibe of springs in Georgia.

[@prodbykaji]

ah i remember i found X and a. unch of other underground artists in like 2015 when i was like 9 and then found uzi a couple months later and ever since then the new waves of rap have always been my favourite

[@Alexander-jm1oi]

First time I listened to "XO Tour Llife3" was almost two weeks out. I remember re-doing the exams to enter my university and I was waking up every morning at 07:00, doing my coffee and chilling to Ryan Celcius channel streaming "Tripping in Japan" with lofi music. I remember having some great conversations on chat with a pretty girl but I don't even remember her name now. Man time flies away.

[@srdjangojkovic1994]

dude i almost came after second layer, it didnt sound the same at first but after those effects and stuff when you played it together i lost myself. this is my top 1 favourite song ever. thanks for this remake!

[@dopedopedope1148]

man i fuckin love u, finally met the nostalgic bro

[@carlosburger1023]

I remember my Uber driver playing this song on the way back to Downtown Seattle. It was 1 AM after Kendrick had just performed at the Tacoma Dome back in 2017. I had already heard the song but something about driving into the city late at night with this song in the background just hit different. It’s on my late night driving playlist to this day!

[@SabioSigSauerOfficial]

First time I heard that song was thru my brother's playlist in my car, and I hated it. It was depressing to hear the "All my friends are dead," but that's also the part that made me come back to it, because that's a reality in my life. All the friends I grew up with are dead or in jail. I gotta say, the song is amazing! and it's even more amazing now that I see how it was made. It takes true skill and talent to make this masterpiece.💯🔥🔥🔥

[@drewross3552]

"All my friends are dead" doesn't literally mean all of his friends are dead. He is saying that his only friends are his money (also known as 'deads', because dollar bills have dead presidents on them).

@@drewross3552 I'm pretty sure it's a double entendre. But, I'm just saying what my first impression was and how I took it. The song is fire, no doubt about it.

I remember listening to music when this song came out, and I was in 7th grade. The first few times I heard the song, I remember not really liking it because I wasn't into the "emo sad" music, and the lyrics gave off that impression. However, it quickly grew on me, and I realized it was unique, different, and a masterpiece of its time. I had that shit on repeat for the longest time. Now that I've been making music for the past couple of years, I have even more respect for the song.

[@BioHazardFan100]

i got one storey about hearing this track for the first time. A new bar has opened in the city where I studied. And there were hip-hop parties. To get to the first parties, you had to be on the list, and my friend and I got there. And that's when we went through face control, this song began. And we went in just during the second verse) There was also a free bar. Beer until 11 am. Whiskey and cola after 11. We got drunk so hard, and the song remained forever in the playlist)

Cool video Aiden. Side note, I believe there is a low two step hihat pattern. Correct me if I'm wrong

[@LordTyler]

I normally don't trash sponsors but Mangler is a real scam. 1.) The plugin features aren't anything special, but presentation matters more to customers. 2.) The DRM they use WILL leave your computer vulnerable as the DRM is exploitable by hackers (severely outdated redistributables) 3.) The DRM claims to work on windows - but it was built for windows 7 and they did a hack-job to make it work on other version - leading it to be VERY random if it will work for you. 4.) The DRM collects information it does NOT need to know - very sketchy stuff.
