Hitmaka: $150K For A Song, Definition Of A Producer, How To Break Artist, Process Of Writing Songs

[@carmineohendersonjr3806]

Hitmaka is THAT GUY. I have a playlist with a 100 songs and Hitmaka has produced like half of them. He is a grinder and makes bangers. He is gifted. Salute to him.

[@Big-yh8wz]

he doesnt do any producing, hes an A&R at best

[@mikea.8640]

Damn he gave so much advice to everyone. Why be against each-other when we can be great together.

[@taggangmember]

I fucc with bro but ya'll have to stop comparing these niggaz to Quincy Jones...Quincy is an actual musician. He's a composer of the highest caliber.

[@AnalogDreamer]

Nah Quincy actually has literally made records playing the keys, trumpets etc...Nigga really tried to play with the OG like that. I swear these niggas just say anything on here. This dude not even in the same league as Quincy, who is actually a MUSICIAN.

[@VikktorVampiir]

Not only that... but Quincy Jones can literally play every instrument in a studio at a concert level. I fw berg heavy but I don't what he was talking about on that one 🤣😂

[@mont-doggBeats]

Quincy Jones used to be a touring Trumpet player and Piano/Keyboard player in The very beginning before being a producer. He said that like Quincy Jones can’t program the music. He literally writes and creates complete arrangements 😂

[@CuzzoTheGreat]

So what you're saying is that what he said about quincy went over your head... ok

[@slr-d]

This the 1st person in urban industry i ever heard just straight up say, "i came up very privileged" with 100% *no shame* And its funny cause that actually makes me respect him even more. #respect

1:33 into the interview he said the most important thing, that mattered the most. His pop showing him the way to real wealth outside of music. Love the interview

[@burn1gotbeats]

I never knew he didn’t program his beats nothing wrong with using co producers thoe especially if he doing 50% splits I could respect that all day💯.

[@Official360]

Yea, that's interesting. With all those credits he has & producer tags I thought he was literally hands on! To find out he's actually a Diddy is a surprise.

[@burn1gotbeats]

@@Official360 right☝️

[@ATHTSupply]

@@Official360 I would say more so a Quincy Jones. See as he’s mainly involved with the arrangements etc

[@Official360]

@@ATHTSupply Na, that's incorrect. Quincy writes, orchestrates & can play multiple instruments. Hitmaka does none of that, like Diddy.

[@quebeezy7163]

@@Official360 u just sat and watched him say in an interview he writes hooks and sometimes rearranges beats and u still came to the comments saying he doesn’t…

[@DarkazKnight100]

The Hitmaka Rebrand and the results are a huge inspiration.

[@mrspacely7320]

i appreciate the fact that he's being open about writing hooks and giving artist ideas, it opens the gate for close minded people who think that every artist does everything by themselves, who would have thought that big sean used hitmakas hook for bounce back, thats amazing

[@SamFocused]

After his story.... I know why he choose "Bounce Back" as the Title of his life 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Producer/Writer and Hit Machine. Inspiring story. Great Episode 💯💯💯

[@biggtinyproductions6159]

This is one hell of a interview and what a real guy he is, major props for keeping it real!!🔥🔥

[@Wetwallz_45OT]

“What a really guy” my man is attempting to flex for the first 5 minutes

" I ain't gone lie it really be the Wigs for me !" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Real Shit

[@THEMProductions]

Yung Berg as we know as HITMAKA is the goat FR 🐐🔥🖤💯

[@GermanChoc26]

I respect Hitmaka but I thought he was at least a small part of the creation process musically in his credits. I do think it is a skill to just put it all together and quarterback a song but I always thought he was making beats/instrumentals. Sound engineers are the unsung heroes in music!!!

[@donrich3927]

Elam 251, Neumann 87s, 67s, and song c800gs are the unsung heroes. You can’t be a bad engineer getting vocals cut on those.

[@donrich3927]

Also he I’m 30 minutes into the interview he wrote a grip shidd he deserves to quarterback.

[@freshestinclass763]

He's a major part of it... nobody questions the maestro or the director of an orchestras music acumen. That's essentially what he is.

[@ashead11]

How’d he get a deal at 14 without being able to make beats?

[@allenfresh2622]

Yung Berg been snappin 🔥

[@alw1915]

Networking is far more important than being good at making beats. Especially in an industry as collaborative as music. Knowing people that can get you into rooms is more beneficial than only being good at making beats.

[@ChristopherCasler]

Huh?! Yea, go network with trash an see wassup…

[@alw1915]

@@ChristopherCasler DJ Khaled cant make a dope beat to save his life. But his network allows him to put people like Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, JayZ, Drake etc on his albums filled eith beats made by Mike Will, Metro, Mustard etc. If he wasnt good at networking he'd still he trying to sell mixtapes out of his trunk. In music its 90% who you know and 10% talent.

@@alw1915 Khalid isn’t a producer he’s a soulless celebrity…

[@alw1915]

@@ChristopherCasler his credentials say different but ok.

[@mobglizzy]

Dope interview & a lot of gems on what it takes to actually produce a record. Also don’t get it mixed up, Quincy actually writes/composes his music. I’d suggest y’all watch his documentary.

[@IKARIking67]

Yes, that's right. He may not program drums on an MPC directly like a Dr. Dre or DJ Quik, but he can help direct a 16-piece orchestra to build a song bed for a 17 minute music video about a college kids date turned Zombie Horror film, and create multiple sonic moments over the course of the song's story. Because of Quincy's genius, the entire planet knows Billie Jean just by the opening drums intro before you even get to the bassline. Even children beatbox it! 😆😆

[@7vensoundz851]

YB has come along way and it was dooe to hear his come up story before the sexy lady,sexy can i joints. He showed you can accomplidh so much more behind the scenes instead of the forefront. Salute yall.

[@lovephotography1966]

I learn about him on reality TV, I never knew he was this was this established. I wish him much success.

[@keejay12]

Best interview I've seen this far imo. He's the definition of a producer's producer. He went from Yung Berg to bouncing back as Hitmaka and he doesn't just make beats but he helps formulate songs and all of that. Hes a producer for real and motivating me to level up some more 🔥🔥🔥🔥
