Behind The Beats with Marco Polo

[@CrossbeatsMusicProduction]

Marco Polo has been a favorite producer of mine for a long time, he's evidence that anything can be done if you have the passion and drive to achieve it.

[@tmbe_official]

Definitely agreed to! Peace!

[@gigac521]

he just can't make a bad beat

[@tmbe_official]

This man is a pure example of how passion to make a music destroyed all Bolocks about you have to know music theory. He is my inspiration. Stay motivated ,what ever they say to you. Folow you instinct and passion! Peace!

[@NbaLive4ever]

Wow, loved this! Makes me feel like my lack of knowing much music theory shouldn't stop me from making good music. I stop and get unmotivated when I see complex theory stuff from the top guys but in the end like he said, at the end of the day, it's all about making good music (no matter how you did it).

[@BeingAwakeisPainful]

Listen you can read all the manuals on all the programs you use- you can read all the music theory you want BUT if you can’t feel what you’re doing just stop. It’s the feeling before the “know how” theory what theory? You can do it! Swing away.

[@MAARTN]

So glad I discovered this channel, really loving the content! Marco Polo killing it too, love seeing this dude work on music

[@Nigmatics]

Dude is mad chill and humble for the his caliber skill level. Id be an arrogant prick if I was as dope as Marco. Lol.

[@davidscott2095]

MP is just so darn real and just lays it out there. He's super underrated and without a doubt in the top 5 to 10 producers in the game today.

[@astrojazzman]

I see that Alphonse Mouzon record he was a dear friend and mentor of mine RIP

[@DaLilMobsta]

I really enjoyed this! This dude is just so real "I don't know none of that shit" hahaha I really needed to here that, this just changed my view a bit... Just make music.

[@stereovind]

Just make shitty music )

[@pilgrim5355]

I think i just became a Marco Polo fan

[@anoisebeats5577]

Respect to the big homie Marco Polo.. I've been influenced by his music and motivated by his longevity thus far. Thank you Drum Broker for having a platform to educate and inform the music production community.

[@miIitaryminded]

Gotta love him man he is brutally honest. You can’t hate on that.

[@daman2u]

Marco Polo is the truth! an Underrated Producer in the game.

[@LoopFerrigno]

Really great video: Beautiful NY footage, humble dude, nice interview and a dope beatmakin' video. Thanks for sharing! Plz give us more!!!! :-)

[@BLUNTZnBEATZ97]

i didnt realize how informative this video was until i cameback to watch it this morning...

[@ArchangelsBeats]

Nostalgia is still one of my all time favorite joints

[@DJYNOT2]

One of my fav producers. Incredible how he does it... Raw talent!

[@dougley197]

realest dude .much respect

[@A100DRUMZ]

respect to all producers that mix hardware with software instead of being close minded to one or the other

[@komplex_the_producer2819]

It's great to study music but one thing school can't teach you is passion fuck terms just feel it

[@alvinedwards434]

+Unique custom Beats exactly.

[@phenomena17]

YOU NAILED IT!!! exactly what i was thinking the same thing. school is soooo technical and No soul!!! Some of that greatest names in music couldn't afford music. they just practiced and played by ear and heart.

[@chiroxxxrt]

Unique custom Beats sooooooo fuckin true

[@xxxaragon]

studying music and passion don't rule each other out though.

[@TroyWilliams864]

Drum Brokers keep that crazy hip hop joints. Beats be snapping bro!!!! I'm a hip hop head. Make hip hop great again lol!!!!#salute

[@budabapbeats9900]

So many gems in this video. Marco Polo is legit!!

[@SouthPawProductions]

Guy seems like he'd be so cool to chill and smoke with

[@derrickrendon1762]

that beat at the end was hard! Dope video

[@ProjectCarTV]

NYC sound came largely from Beastie Boys. Run DMC too but Beastie Boys first at the same time LL Cool J. Rick Rubin from the beginning.

[@BoChosen]

Marco's a beast. Dope...

[@xkour92]

So talented and such a cool person! Go on Marco you are one of the best if not the best producer right now

[@sharper7gr]

the song he used in the end;; definitely it's motown

[@beyallluv]

He dropped major jewels.

[@LucidLiquidity]

What a sick dude. Very insightful and inspiring. His philosophy is real. Time to make some beats!

[@strictlyrealhiphop]

Drum break sounds like it came from Adam Makowicz - Sacred Song [Also sampled for Masta Ace, Marco Polo - Count 'Em Up (Featuring Lil' Fame)

[@michaeljacques491]

[@The_Preacher_LLC]

What is that program he shows of the piano keys that shows him the bass notes in key? Anyone?

[@tomson187]

[@JEFFMAN90]

Its Kontakt from Native Instruments

[@sp1200fanatic]

Smart move to go with the blue mpc, cigarette smoke stains won't show #chainsmoker

[@jessejamesmartin6415]

I think he was more concerned with having a CF card reader I dont think he gives a flux about his MPC being gritty and grimy :)

[@MatrixxSoundlab]

I really dug that, and will be sharing it!

[@phenomena17]

Your Ears are the best Instrument

[@dibzhonda2938]

If anybody knows if this beat was released, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know.. I love this beat.. This beat is so so dangerous, forget the vocals, I know he was just fuckin around.. but the beat & the bassline, OMG !!!
