letlive. Renditions - "The Dope Beat" feat. Dan "Soupy" Campbell

[@salemcvlt]

This song still gives me that feeling in 2024❤

[@OfficiallyMaidenless]

I just wish they would re record blackest beautiful. They don't have to change a thing, I just wish it didn't sound like a 60kbps limewire download

[@SplyBox]

Listening to this now I can't stand how clean this sounds, I really have grown to love the grungy mastering of Blackest Beautiful

[@MrHottfudge]

If i may...just to clear things up! Nothing was re-tracked or done over. These releases are all the original recordings. I've been the one mixing/re-mixing these rendition tracks. Still like the original mixes tho! Guess these are just delivering a different kind of vibe/feel. Thanks for all of your love and support. Soupy smashed this track. Super damn stoked to show you guys what else we've got cooking. Think you're going to enjoy. See you soon... All my love - Jeff // letlive.

[@BornBeAwesome]

Oh! So glad my old sound letlive is back. actually

[@AlejandroRojas-lj9ui]

I'll be honest but who else wouldn't mind having a rendition version of the album? The original is amazing, and so far, so are the renditions. Who's with me?

[@caphead100]

YES! MY TWO FAVORITE VOCALISTS!

[@drabies97]

Fuck Ikr??????

[@TheJSBUCK]

Whoever recorded needs to record their next album. I loved Fake History so much, but I never liked The Blackest Beautiful because the production/mix/sound was so bad. But this...this is incredible.

[@jasonclarke92]

Well, they wanted it to sound that way, so although you may not like it, it wasn't that it just came out bad, it was how it was meant to sound.

[@lukitzar]

Production on TBB is not at all bad, it's just that that record is not overproduced like FH, which is a good thing

[@keyofevergreen]

Well the big difference was fake history was digital and Blackest beautiful was recorded in analog (tape). Its not about getting the perfect takes and i think the producer did a great job of mixing. He made is more human.

[@kennycaldera6333]

Luke Bishop i think blackest beautiful sounds way more robotic than fake history and it's an obvious thing.

[@rappleby91]

I would have agree'd with you on my first listen of the blackest beautiful. After spending a TON of time with it I LOVE the way its recorded. It is very interesting how differently it sounds out of different sound systems. You hear all different things and the song can take on a new form. Love it.

[@Sam-jy5tf]

It's 2019 and I realized this exists. I'm in love.

[@OlaGamerGirl]

I'm really impressed, Letlive are awesome!

[@TheFranciscoRosado]

*letlive.

[@TheDeathwishgod]

Francisco Lapa Letlive*

[@andyfitzpatrick933]

TheDeathwishgod no francisco was right

[@TheFranciscoRosado]

andy fitzpatrick thanks for supporting ahah

[@yoshidisprove2070]

Francisco Lapa ll.ove

[@Jedi-For-Hire]

I would love to hear one of these "renditions" with Jon Mess from Dance Gavin Dance that would be sick.

[@tyjacky]

Your_Savior_23 yesss hahahah just went straight from DGD songs to renditions :D JON FUCKING MESSSSS

[@MrPunkrawk19]

fuck yes!!!

[@KuroyokoTakeshi]

I literally came. Soupy worked so well in this!

[@MrMikemainia]

if you have never listened to letlive. i suggest you listen to them ASAP!! Jason butler, the lead singer, is NUTS live. Like so involved and inspirational and just an overall awesome front man. Look up the best of jason butler, youll love this band

[@ZackBrame]

I've seen him when I lived in San Antonio, and in Lubbock (I had to move). He is amazing live, so much energy. He punched through a fucking window last month at Jakes......idk why, but it's Jason Butler, so who cares. He's also the most down to earth bro you'll ever meet.

[@MrMikemainia]

Zack Brame That's so awesome. I'm trying to see them live in Philly may 4th haha

[@sean1to91]

Zack Brame true!!

[@pizzach666]

I'm excited for the rest of this album

[@Res0rcefull]

The way soupy is lined up in the song is perfect, that was something beautiful.

[@BobJummyMcFred]

I love this. The mix is so much cleaner than the original too. That drumming

[@mdn19912]

On the original they recorded in analog, I think.

[@DAIO12345]

True but I found the snare almost to clean. Sounds so clicky.

[@2burp2]

I like that album cover.

[@TheUltimateScottz]

I know this comment is 2 years old but I agree so much. I don't know what it is but it really fits with the song. it looks sweet.

[@ker0sene752]

This is the first song I've heard from letlive. And I love it.

[@HandsNeverSleep]

I really like the idea of the Renditions series. Wish I was friends with letlive and I could jump on a song. XD

[@medusaheroin]

I'm blown away. This was sick.

[@strawberinyy]

My two favorites ever together omfg

[@mikedenison8776]

Soupy shows up at 2:14 if you're interested

[@LightItUpDan]

Beautiful!

[@MrPunkrawk19]

The Wonder Years and letlive have made some of my favorite albums ever and this is fucking dope!!!

[@janella_Simon]

I love this song

[@beltstrain94_16]

2018 and still going strong

[@ItMeLyndsey]

Please can we have a "Renditions" album? Like a deluxe version of "The Blackest Beautiful" with 2 CD's or something?

[@daymanfighterofthenightman1800]

I think that's the plan. Certainly an EP

[@ryanlennox8962]

Maybe they could do one to celebrate the 10th anniversary of TBB like they did with Fake History?

[@wiickedyeah]

Wow bravo! More more more!

[@jasonbates9906]

The slight changes to the vocal melody are sweet.

[@sabrinaperez1187]

OMG, this is so beautiful.

[@haydenhamilton7189]

Please for the love of god let them have done one with Sam Carter

[@jacobdurham9347]

This is my favorite song off of The Blackest Beautiful!

[@ellenclarke4578]

This is amazing!

[@МирославАтанасов-я5е]

People do, what they do, when they do! Eveyrthing in a song!

[@hxllxhxund]

Soupy's voice goes with this genre really well

[@Mattisonfirex]

Seeing that two of my favorite vocalists from two of my favorite bands collaborated together obviously got me really stoked. However, as awesome as the idea may be, I don't think this was executed well. Soupy's vocal melodies just don't seem to correspond to the song. I'm a little bummed. Still, I love the renditions idea and both bands forever and always.

[@RomansMcee]

This Sounds Amazing!

[@joegj666]

Get Daryl Palumbo on one of these bad boys!!!

[@CircaChannel13]

Oath

[@TroySenecal]

How does this only have 48k views?

[@mobba09]

So good

[@ajperez4320]

So sick

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

Ah, two of my favorite vocalists join forces... So good.

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

What would really blow my mind is if they did a rendition with Chino from Deftones or Darryl from Glassjaw.

[@Nosferatu420]

the bonesauce I could definitely see Chino doing one of these. That'd be amazing. Maybe on Virgin Dirt?

[@wyattkidman-boyle6663]

love it.

[@matthewkalapuch]

This is incredible.

[@LordTamer12]

please do one with caleb shomo!!

[@TheCardellis]

Oh gosh!!!!

[@TSMusic-95]

this is pretty cool!

[@Dougzed]

So apparently the rhythm of Soupy's vocals were not placed in the original spot intended- I honestly get that feel when it starts its in a strange position...though I have listened to this over 10 times so I must love it :P

[@niallhall1391]

Soupy also didn't like his recording and wanted to re record it, but Jason thought it was sick so he kept it in

[@eifersucht14c]

Yeah it works ones you get used to it for sure.

[@MakimaMelee]

It definitely fits with Letlive.'s more mathcore sound. It's not exactly on time, but it's out just enough to fit. I think it fits perfectly lyrically and musically, and I've loved it since the first time I heard it.

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

It's still a fabulous rendition. The whole proud of where he grew up, though they're not proud of him... Amazing.

[@BendyDH]

This is such an amazing idea, it adds new meaning to the music by having the guest vocalists completely rewrite the lyrics for their section. My only complaint with this video is the fact that the re-recording the of the song doesn't sound nearly as good as the original quality-wise, it sounds more like a demo track to me =/ I thought they were just using the original recording and replacing Jason's vocal with the guest vocal for these Renditions, but I guess not (it wasn't noticeable in the first one they did, but this one it's very apparent)

[@Ericmanifesto]

well I think this one is a better re-recorded quality/sound wise. I play fake history in my truck sounds great, I play the blackest beautiful (amazing album) and the sound was not given any justice IMO..... but again it doesn't take away from how amazing the material is.

[@two_days_slow]

Ericmanifesto Agreed. TBB sounds extremely flat on a high end audio system.

[@BluesB0x]

Christian parrish That's such bullshit. TBB may sound muddy to a lot of you, but it is one of the most dynamic sounding records in terms of frequency. The lows fucking punch and the leads soar. That's what a master sounds like

[@two_days_slow]

False. The record sounds like complete ass in my car.

[@Ericmanifesto]

Haha! It really does have an assy sound quality.

[@karverwoods1109]

@MAXXHEW Pretty sure letlive is pretty punk. It's just a unique blend of punk, hardcore, and pure chaos.

[@OzeIsmae]

GOOD!

[@blackx10]

Please just release the Renditions album already :P.

[@campbellbabes]

This. Just wow. Fucking incredible!!!

[@TheTacticalMess]

Yay

[@Foxyg3n]

Goddamn, this is great.

[@coffeecrumbles]

omg

[@mollymodernmyth]

WE SING THE HYMN OF BROAD STREET!

[@AllanInSpace]

My moisties are prime, this is great!

[@KatGraves]

realest shit i've heard in a while

[@hullett29]

May 8th at the Masquerade anyone? I'll be there.

[@randyrandyyrandyyy]

Stop by anytime !

[@joebarone3944]

Fucking yes

[@carbutty]

Jasons laugh though.

[@Simte]

Woah

[@axelvmart]

amazing shit! :D

[@yoshidisprove2070]

Does anybody know when the new one comes out?

[@yoshidisprove2070]

So are they ever gonna finish this?

[@LordTamer12]

where i came from eeniee proud of me too lost two liquid bank loans dead eyes coke and whisky i scratched my fucking leg "ow" i still see llamas in the streets we sing the hemorrhoid cream it's my fault don't come back for me

[@ropsik]

why oh why not the whole song...

[@Green12324]

Are they still doing these songs? It's been awhile since this came out.

[@kylekinney1501]

The idea is great. The delivery just seems a little lazy. I would have loved to hear both of them singing the song. I felt the same way about the 27 club with Keith Buckley. I'm not saying im not impressed I just feel like there could have been so much more if there was a little more time spent on developing these new renditions.

[@nickwomack7401]

Is that Loniel on the drums?

[@jimhatesyou]

for sure yes

[@doyleshypermusic]

Is this just remixed with different instrument?

[@natedobson8957]

Looking back, I find it absolutely hilarious that everyone is shouting “The Mix and Master on this is so much more intentional and better!!” even when Dan’s vocals were dropped in a whole two measures early.

[@AnimateTheWorld]

idk not a fan of how soupy put his patterns on this song.

[@medusaheroin]

It's called renditions for a reason, though?

[@AnimateTheWorld]

Blissey Yeah i know it's their interpretation, but i just didnt feel the way he put his vocal patterns. Soupy has a great voice though.

[@Zanone_]

LIJ4Productions He (Soupy) actually tweeted that he didn't like how he laid it down but then Letlive. said they were happy with it and kept it that way.

[@medusaheroin]

Nick Z Ooh, that's kinda inconsiderate. :c

[@medusaheroin]

***** Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

[@sk8rsammycx]

Where can I get this version?

[@Chrisfordayss]

Tasty :D

[@alix8482]

It's good but Soupy's vocals don't match with melody and I don't like mixing, it's better in The Blackest Beautiful

[@xFullysikx9]

=D

[@mademyday7558]

i dont feel the dope. Soupy why? WTH?!

[@Lucols4]

because he is one of the best pop punk vocalists alive and nobody writes lyrics like him

[@stupiddays540]

Did soupy lose a bet??

[@foreverafterfinancial2179]

No

[@cristiancabrera4612]

The dude killed the song but doesn't matter since it's not the original song. Still waiting for something better then this. ll.

[@danielegibson5535]

a little too 'pop' for me....

[@IMAXXHEW]

Just subbed to Epitaph, used to listen to the old stuff... WTF???!!! I thought Epitaph was PUNK ROCK... what is this crap?

[@jimhatesyou]

lmao i hope you're fucking joking

[@BoonkyChaka]

"punk rock" was not really supported with epitaph.

[@justhereforscarythings]

James Cavanaugh I hope so too. This is incredible!

[@justinheartley]

Cookii Monstar It was started by Bad Religion so...

[@IMAXXHEW]

Justin Heartley exactly... so what is this crap? I think I'm gonna unsub.

[@AllanInSpace]

My moisties are prime, this is great!
