Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank) {OFFICIAL INSTRUMENTAL}

[@LM-lj2cf]

One of the best beats created in history. This one's for the books...

[@Kevn808]

NIGGA WHAAT?? This and goosebumps brooo

[@soniya8708]

Skateclipss u are so right

[@The_Animal_Man]

no, it doesnt lol

[@inchodmoin4461]

I mean, I'd say personally it sets a sort of mood rather than a story.

[@J25-p3h]

Richard Veguilla The use of Sonics and sound choice can lead to the mood needed to make a story. What the story is is left up your interpretation.

[@LegendaryMamba24]

This is by far one of the most well-produced beats I have ever heard...everything just goes together so well, it just makes me want to listen to it for hours on end. I just remember riding down the street with this album bumping this song with the windows down...good times

[@vzm4663]

You can thank T-Minus and Dr. Dre for that, incredible beat =)

[@EpicGamertje]

Dope story! 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheHumanBallsack]

@@vzm4663 Dr Dre does NOT produce jack shit. He writes his name on most of the shit, but he's famous in the industry for jackin' other producers' credit. Go ask Warren G, Cold187um, DJ Quik, Daz Dillinger, J-Flexx, Mel-man, Mike Elizondo or Scott Storch.

Agreed

[@Xaserix]

Thats why we are here 😎

[@HorseshitDetectionAgency]

better without the simp lyrics

[@blaker4807]

The dynamic range in this song is incredible. Very well produced. I love how every 8 measures, something new is added. Bass, Bass/Snare, Bass/Snare/Kick, Bass/Snare/Kick/1/16th Hi Hat, Then in the chorus, The Hi Hat pattern switches up, and there’s a stab on the 1 and the four every time the bass note changes, with a lead on top of it. I know all of this is obvious, but it’s really cool to break down from a production stand point, and definitely a track you’d want to pay attention to if you want your songs to stay busy and have a wide dynamic range, especially in hip hop.

[@TheShadowless]

The best is absolutely timeless! T Minus did an amazing job with this production.

[@byyykramermusic]

GG GG yea I see where ur coming from the hits that come in and the futuristic sound of the whole track is kinda Chicago style

[@blaker4807]

GG GG Yeah, I can definitely feel that, especially with the hits, like he said

[@jayvader9023]

@@blaker4807 also with all the hihat rolls. idk why but that just screams drill to me

[@whyme4512]

Don’t know if it’s on purpose but it sounds like when you dunk your head under a large body of liquid I.e. swimming pool maybe filled with liquor

[@SetMeFree]

This sends me straight back to my old house back in 2012. So many crazy times and parties. A weird transition in my life. This is one of the very few songs/beats that can fuck me up like that. I don't know of any other song that does that.
