I Hired an Opera Singer and We Made Insane Beats

[@chesstaylor]

Thank you for having me sing!!

[@rilum97]

@Chess Taylor what do you think of my songs? Greetings from Germany :)

[@RapFanMan1]

Good luck fam!! Loved your voice so much❤️🙏🏻

[@bve299]

I got a question. How is it easiest to start to learn to sing. If it's just practice how long did it take you to become so talented like you are lol. But great job in the video your voice is so awesome

[@Kaosbeats0121]

Feel like you wanted more then just drill so ocean do some research on aurora her type of music is unique and should be a challenge for u

[@DWF_GRIND]

DWF 21 seconds ago Beats please! - delete if you need to ;).

[@friendsintheweb]

lmaoooo the dissapointement in her face when she starts hearing it turning into drill hahah

[@somewheredying]

On bob 😂

[@kar5h01]

Hahahha Exactlyy

[@prodbyzapz]

😂😂🙈

[@willleeper3439]

Same

[@CenrelianGuardsmen]

That’s what I was thinking the entire time, needed a thir person there to be like “eh mate, that’s dogshit innit.” Turned something unique into something generic and a pain on my eardrums

[@dandk_]

I like how you let her down gently when you told her it was going to be drill lol

[@Prodbyculture]

😂

[@deroneomas]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@ProdByArtVolé_YT]

😂😂😂😂 shawty was like with all this nice production you do RAP! 😢 😭😭😭

[@RiccoSpxc3]

Ya dude...even I was disappointed i didn't want it to be a drill beat tho....

[@jhallibeats]

Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 was thinking same

[@rishabhmishra98]

bro got an opera singer only to drown her in 70% reverb 😭😭

Nah man 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@ch3ckm8]

lol she barely did anything

[@maxlu4541]

I like how Ocean doesnt waste any time with intros or anyhing and jumps straight to the point

[@justhostelthings2984]

She definitely didn't like the idea of Drilling her voice😂

[@skyesbeats1418]

[@f00kwhiteblackracismwarsh07]

She was like what? What the fuck is this? 😂

I knew it was gone be drill before watching the video

Ah yes, drilling her... voice

[@schulbullglc1494]

some notes she does just almost made me cry for real, im impressed

[@sdeondotson]

She is so talented and she was able to get the vibes quickly…

[@lukemaxwell6302]

Two completely different talents blended together into a masterpiece. I love the creativity.

[@BargedIn]

A true musician can use their talent for any means

[@phaedra8654]

Calling it talent would Not do justice to their Hard work. Because it‘s Nothing else.

[@taichoubob5735]

Haha this man is savage, freaking opera singer sings perfect notes, first thing he whips out is Autotune lmao

[@yellow_flash813]

🤣🤣

[@enzeebeatz3077]

Lmao

[@Lonzology]

That pretty insulting not even gon lie. But sadly that's what today's generation are obessed with.

[@f00kwhiteblackracismwarsh07]

Never do that in font on a singer/rapper 😂

[@IggyBlob]

he used autotune like you would any other effect, he didn't pitch correct her, so there's no insult there. It's as if he would have added a phaser effect, or reverb, same thing, it's just aesthetic

[@shonjayt]

One thing I love about these collabs is most of the musicians have never heard a drill beat but once Ocean shows them they are always so much more enthusiastic for the second beat. As an American it's easy to assume that Rap is just as big in the rest of the world as it is here.

[@shonjayt]

@Splitting Time she didn't but she definitely gave more of her musical opinion when she realized what drill was. Those mids she recorded made the vocal sample way fuller.

[@Usenabt]

Shes from the UK?... The home of that drill sound

[@mrmarcuswatson]

@@Usenabt huh? Drill started in Chicago

[@kapitalga]

@@mrmarcuswatson not the kind they're making

[@HeavyPrice]

@@kapitalga it’s a sub genre birthed from ours. They call it grime.

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

This is amazing!🔥

She would killed some of your pain beats

[@3FAWTY]

You’re the goat 🐐 lifestyledidit i have some of your packs ❤️

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

@@3FAWTY thank you so much!

[@brucedavis191]

bring her back and do some EDM with her. something dark and rainy with thunder in the bass.

[@TheCrisis1]

💯

[@davidezaia7331]

I would buy a sample pack made of ambiance swells, vocal fx's and so done by her

[@yahyeet3694]

If you haven't listened to Lastlings' First Contact album yet, go do that! Wonderful angelic vocals with dark atmospheric beats.

[@Liferoxwow]

the accuracy of the note swap at 2:29 is insaneeeee she is so good

[@tracklib]

Such a great video, amazing work by both you and Chess!!

[@treshines459]

[@LDreTheGiant]

6:32 I’m disappointed you didn’t start singing here bro 😂

[@iambradarthur]

goosebumps!!! what a voice, what a sound you guys created. Love this series, such an awesome way to create. thanks for sharing Ocean. 🌊🎶

[@frydropper420]

legend

[@curlychronicles]

Very fun to watch the process! What a lovely voice she has! ❤

[@dr.beaulab]

Ocean would have Debussy sitting next to him like.. " But do ya listen to Drill ? "

[@jmccouture3866]

OMG that is something that I would like to do collaborate with others. Like this. I love the beat.

[@proddobre]

This already lit without even completing the video

[@itsarinao]

Amazing concept !

[@TacShooter]

Amazing to watch two talented artists from different styles collaborating to produce new art.

[@noduj]

That face when the second beat droped "here we go again" 😅

[@theronyoumans1383]

The both of you are incredibly talented. Great video

[@SLWNI]

She worked her entire life just to make her voice pitch perfect and my man destroyed her with pulling autotune up . Emotional Damage But on serious note man you didn't have to do her dirty like that

[@darrinsiberia]

ya TBH beat makers are just like those guys who do funny cartoon drawings of ppl at the beach... Classical artists are on a whole nother level.

[@SLWNI]

@@darrinsiberia both have their own values man ! But sure that refrence is somewhere correct 😅

[@niamhoconnor8986]

Bless her though, she looks nonplussed by the whole experience 🥺❤

[@jordinmusic2588]

This whole video is amazing🔥🔥🔥 taking drill to another level honestly

[@ynglesmadeit]

Her vocals wow that second beat tho 🔥 ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@youngorangee]

The crooked mic is giving me so much anxiety

[@ladyuo]

Her first time listening to drill like 😧😮😵‍💫

[@TheRussianGenius]

Really good 🌊 please continue these collabs or guest invitations!

[@spungeegoodness1144]

She has a gorgeous voice!!! Very epic beats doode!!!

[@Martin1519]

Idk how this guy makes producing look so easy. It takes me a few days to a week to get a beat done.

[@DonDadda45]

practice. He also knows all his best sounds that work together which makes the beats sound much better than a beginners

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

Years of hard work mate

[@prodbybrowni3e238]

Her voice is wild , good stuff

[@williamgrierson4133]

Fire Bruh. Glad to have you back on my feeds Big Dawg.

[@trippc]

Both the idea and delivery is so spot on. You really are another class producer

[@austinsinger7565]

I wish we heard more of her voice in the beats but besides that nicely done.

[@randomthoughtsproductions]

AYe so I think I figured this out, the actual beat isnt that bass heavy, but because he is recording the room sound not the actual song it sounds like that. The actual beat is way more balanced see 7:53 and 4:04

[@eros-up5jg]

She had a wonderful voice, I wish you would’ve left her singing without auto tune. Was not expecting the first one to be turned to drill beat but would still be cool to hear someone rapping over it

[@xvReece]

You deserve way more views man. I’ve watched so many of your videos and you’ve had some amazing content, this included. Hopefully the algorithm changes in your favour!

[@seekingforoo930]

Opera and drill is absolute madness 🔥

[@ogsam2899]

The 2nd beat is crazy damn kinda mad how you come up with em quickly

[@nsns7993]

Ocean! Normally i really love your collabs but i think this was a miss. She has a beautiful voice with a lot of layers, deepness and beautiful tonality. Her voice is too musical and beautiful to be muffled away by some plugins a fat 808 and some trippy hihats 😆. Love your stuff and creative collabs just wanted to give my 2 cents ✌️ looking out to the following video!

[@jacobkatz9591]

agreed

[@booprod]

I understand your point, but personally, that’s why this mix of beautiful harmonies and voices fits so well with these kinds of drums that goes straight to your face ahaha

[@suwooplad4565]

Agreed

[@Ytremz]

HI-HATS GO TSTSTSTSTSTS

[@TwoTwoFourSix]

it doesnt matter, he wanted it for a certain purpose, trying to over purify music and embrace this arbitrary "purity" is going to bring music nowhere.

[@niklashultkrantz7766]

To me the best I love. Rap with strong singers gives dynamic.

[@MrDarthMoul]

bro u making the exact right business moves. keep going. I am following you in since 20K Subscribers, u gonna go somewhere, I know that

[@zuricrqsatlz9145]

Great to see you working it. Cheers.

[@10past.10]

man that second beat giving me heavy Liberty City vibes.

[@tipofthespear1]

You're a master craftsman my guy...also great video editing, love the "heads up "display style on the vocal recording

[@bartekglinski2665]

I honestly think (just a guess), that she wasn't so happy about all of it. Like you hired a professional artist that has amazing expressive voice and made her invisible behind 808s and hi-hats. By working with musicians, producers can make them shine and together create something great. It's impossible to do that when their performance is treated as a generic sample.

[@medicisounds1384]

You can do whatever you want if you hired the vocalists. Why does it matter what he makes?

[@bartekglinski2665]

@Medicisounds I totally agree. If you hire a musician, as long as you pay him, everything's cool. I just gave another perspective on this situation. But why does it matter? It matters because art matters, at least in my opinion.

That first beat gave of kidulthood vibes. There’s a part in that movie where there’s an orchestral beat and it’s so sick

Yo Ocean, just wanted to say you inspired me to start doing videos too, I've been recently experimenting turning Rap music into movie soundtracks. So far i've only uploaded a "Just wanna rock" orchestral version, it's doing fairly well. Keep up the great videos bro
