[@slowestjabroni]

The only remake producer I've caught on youtube that actually uses proper sound engineering principals and deduction to make INCREDIBLY close/accurate remakes. I love it man. Never stop! Lining up wave forms etc makes me so fucking happy. The shazam at the end of your more recent videos is just the icing on top imo.

[@00485]

Also s!6teen. He remakes a lot of Pierre beats. And Tm88 even posted his xotour remake.

[@Issthi]

[@TheJJBebop]

kefang has a very similar style his remakes are pretty accurate

[@blacklite911]

Plus he does a lot of research. The way he made the sample the whole melody then sped it up then put it into gross beat is not intuitive lol. That’s something that only comes up when you’re in a session trying stuff.

I do actually remember the first i heard it. It was in the gym summer 2017. I remember being conflicted because I was against "mumble rap" but I knew that it was super catchy and I couldn't convince myself not to like it. This song was one of the main reasons I began to embrace that new generation of rap

I first heard Xo Tour Llif3 when I was on vacation in Georgia with my sister, it was probably like summer 2017 and it played on the radio and my sister said “omg this is the best song ever, do you know lil uzi vert?” and at the time I was like 10 so I didn’t really listen to music, but after listening to uzi I’ve been in love with rap and that song always has the vibe of springs in Georgia.

[@prodbykaji]

ah i remember i found X and a. unch of other underground artists in like 2015 when i was like 9 and then found uzi a couple months later and ever since then the new waves of rap have always been my favourite

Uzi was the first rapper I ever listened to. It was 2016-2017. I was 13 at the time I listened to XO Tour Llif3, and absolutely loved it.

[@fweak21]

It is kind of crazy how the deconstructed one just glosses over the actual melodies. It happens to much in that series where the producer just gets' the sample loop from someone else instead of breaking it down to presets and progression.

[@mikeybeats1618]

tm88 made the sample with another producer, he prob just didn’t have the flp for that loop anymore since it was old

[@rynosumea3753]

@@mikeybeats1618 they sometimes dont want to show the full process behind making the beat

[@tommioslo]

after jw lucas got cancelled, he also got exposed for taking a lot of producers' loops and samples under the guise of "management" and sending them out without crediting them and working on them, as was the case with what's poppin by jack harlow. jw lucas likely did send him the melody or whatever part of it but i don't think he actually made it, or at least tm88 worked on it a bit

My first time listening to XO Tour Lif3 I was 10 years old starting to get into rap and I heard this when one of my friends was listening to it. I was like “this is fire” then I started listening to it and started loving it. I didn’t know who Uzi was at that time but when I knew a lot of rap, I got into him. This was one of the first rap songs I loved

[@fed_mat4351]

one thing you missed are the hi hats, you should add a gross beat on the mixer with the half speed preset and turn the mix to around 30 percent, you can clearly hear the effect on the first drop

[@Alexander-jm1oi]

First time I listened to "XO Tour Llife3" was almost two weeks out. I remember re-doing the exams to enter my university and I was waking up every morning at 07:00, doing my coffee and chilling to Ryan Celcius channel streaming "Tripping in Japan" with lofi music.

I remember listening to music when this song came out, and I was in 7th grade. The first few times I heard the song, I remember not really liking it because I wasn't into the "emo sad" music, and the lyrics gave off that impression. However, it quickly grew on me, and I realized it was unique, different, and a masterpiece of its time. I had that shit on repeat for the longest time. Now that I've been making music for the past couple of years, I have even more respect for the song.

[@artyomsamara]

Thanks a lot for the video. I'm not a beatmaker but just a programmer. Such video gives a lot of inspiration for learning more about around the world and understanding the beauty of simpleness around

[@SabioSigSauerOfficial]

First time I heard that song was thru my brother's playlist in my car, and I hated it. It was depressing to hear the "All my friends are dead," but that's also the part that made me come back to it, because that's a reality in my life. All the friends I grew up with are dead or in jail. I gotta say, the song is amazing! and it's even more amazing now that I see how it was made. It takes true skill and talent to make this masterpiece.💯🔥🔥🔥

[@drewross3552]

"All my friends are dead" doesn't literally mean all of his friends are dead. He is saying that his only friends are his money (also known as 'deads', because dollar bills have dead presidents on them).

yes. Wasn't really into hip hop at first but this song hit different.. When I first discovered it I instantly fell in love with the beat and uzi's vocals and had it on repeat for days.

[@LordTyler]

I normally don't trash sponsors but Mangler is a real scam. 1.) The plugin features aren't anything special, but presentation matters more to customers. 2.) The DRM they use WILL leave your computer vulnerable as the DRM is exploitable by hackers (severely outdated redistributables) 3.) The DRM claims to work on windows - but it was built for windows 7 and they did a hack-job to make it work on other version - leading it to be VERY random if it will work for you. 4.) The DRM collects information it does NOT need to know - very sketchy stuff.

[@BioHazardFan100]

i got one storey about hearing this track for the first time. A new bar has opened in the city where I studied. And there were hip-hop parties. To get to the first parties, you had to be on the list, and my friend and I got there. And that's when we went through face control, this song began. And we went in just during the second verse) There was also a free bar. Beer until 11 am. Whiskey and cola after 11. We got drunk so hard, and the song remained forever in the playlist)
