I would be soooooooooo happy if you did „I Dont like“ by Chief Keef!!! I mean that song really started a new sound and you gotta put homage on it. Dude btw i love your remakes and they are perfectly meanwhile bro. I guess the 808 in the antidote remake was off but this remake is godlike. You really earn my deepest respect because i have learned a lot with your videos. I have rewatched all you videos at least 100 times and yeah.. keep on going bro! Also like your beats they are wyld maaans. Greetings from Germany 🙏🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

[@domolisher3272]

The fact that you literally USED SHAZAM TO PROVE HOW WELL THE REMAKE WAS, is actually crazy. Well done. Probably the most accurate remake you’ve made to date.

[@marcobirch3738]

@@bloxx5114 Why would his mic being muted change anything

[@fuckyourfuneral]

honestly the new standard of testing how accurate your remake is should be by using shazam to see if it recognizes it (depending on the song your remaking ofc)

My friend who worked for Kanye was in the hotel suite that was the studio during the recording of this song in Paris told me the story about how this song was made. He said he had recently downloaded the Akai app onto his iPad and was asking Mike Dean to show him how to sample with it. At the same time Kanye is working on the N.I.P. beat and Jay-z is freestyling over it while the Bulls Vs Heat (D Rose vs LeBron) playoff series is on the TV (which is what inspired Jay mentions D Rose in his verse). As Mike Dean is showing my friend how to sample on the iPad he randomly records Jay saying "ball so hard" and then demonstrates how the recording is now on the mpc pads by repeatedly pushing the pad on the iPad. Kanye hears that and basically makes it the "hook".

[@chain12bb]

YES

[@PtylerBeats]

2:40 I’m glad you clarified this because the second you pitched it down, my immediate thought was, “Ok, why didn’t you just play it an octave lower?” Lol Also, I loved Shazamming my remakes back when I made them. It was always really cool to see that I made it close enough for AI to detect it. The thing about that though is that if Shazam can detect it, it’s definitely gonna be picked up by the KZbin copyright system. So basically everything is flagged the second it gets uploaded

[@threezysworld8089]

Lot of times when you play samples an octave lower the problem is that it messes with where the instruments hit in relation to the drums. You're better off making a copy of the original sample and pitching it down.

[@migzbeatz]

your ear for every detail is admirable bro. most remakes on youtube are always off in some way but you get every intricate texture and layer on point; not surprised since you ain’t missed in all your other vids but still amazed. video editing on point too keep it up dude 🤞 ps can u do a breakdown on The Kid Laroi - I Don’t Know?

@@Papatrollos true, that arpeggio was the reason I stayed with song so long, it's only then I found the album version and got fired up by Ye's and Jay's performance in the studio. But to be honest, their performance on stage is fire too, never seen to make it so clean in front of a crowd)

I actually think that the “non interval” shift should be called “swing” or playing “behind the beat” or “in the pocket”. To me it in music you can feel rushed or chilled depending on whether you are in front or behind the beat for a given bpm
