I just made my favorite beat of 2023.

[@RickyTinez]

woooo this is nuts! - also my heart rate started to increase when I saw the white screen of death on the Waldorf.. I keep editing this comment as the video is playing haha. That hi-hat sample you played in has such a SICK pattern. A pattern only a rapper can come up with. It has this sick melody to it.

[@jonmakesbeats]

Means a lot coming from you Ricky. Thanks for watching

[@NicolasGodon]

Ricky hanging over here just a confirmation ♥️♥️ real recognize real !

[@tommyk88888]

This is like that photo of Stallone and Schwarzenegger together in the hospital 😎

[@bigmistqke]

You were not wrong about that hihat pattern

[@fesoj1999]

Super wholesome interaction from two greats!

[@vitorhugoRH]

that tip about about nudging the transients from different elements so they don't choke each other feels like a big one. beautiful beat, as always!

[@jonmakesbeats]

Oh yeah everyone should be doing that tbh

[@dotdaddylonglegs]

as someone who uses a sequence based approach to get started with writing stuff this opened my eyes, massive thank you!

[@Zlagie]

One thing I'll do on my MPC is I'll take my drum samples and add a few milliseconds of dead air in front of the transient. That way even when it's quantized there's some looseness in there!

[@EJacobsBeats]

I really love how you brought your drum pattern to life from beat boxing to reality

[@jonmakesbeats]

Sometimes that’s how you have to do it haha

[@Deathenvyify]

This is what Samus Aran would cook up if you gave her an octatrack. Such a good beat

[@jonmakesbeats]

She’s got the VR FL Studio setup

[@leovillads1677]

I wonder if she ever gets tired of hearing the background music all the time.

[@DarkMetaOFFICIAL]

dude this reference hits some type of way 😭💔😄💙

[@ThePigsAreFlying]

it feels good to have jonwayne back

[@psmcg8518]

Love hearing your thought process live. You're not the only one missing the 2010 era, keep the vibes alive!

[@jonmakesbeats]

Much love

[@BeatDSM]

Man, absolutely one of my favourite things you've made here. Big fan of your work, constantly impressed by the quality of your output. Can't wait to see what your next full release entails, I could see you going in a totally different direction of purely instrumental, no vocals.

[@jonmakesbeats]

I could also see that

[@vincain5273]

That beat was lovely, the format of your videos are great, and so is the chill vibe you're imbued with as a person, keep it up Jon!

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks for saying that

[@schnoodlevideo]

my heart was RACING while cutting this one, nothing like a white screen of death to stifle your sesh… thanks for watching everyone!

[@iby_ibyyy]

yooo tell Kiefer I said what's up!

[@KEEPTHECHANGE10]

crazy feeling on this beat. end of summer outro vibes

[@peterthepiper]

I miss that 08/09 era too. Great beat. Thank you.

[@NateHorn]

"I don't know how to play but I know how to listen" Bro, 2meirl4meirl

[@teehee_man]

You know a good one is coming when Kojak has Tomba running on the CRT.

[@jonmakesbeats]

It’s a good indicator for sure

[@ChemistryLemur]

Watching one of my heroes do his thing. It's funny you mention 2008-2010 and Hudmo, for us that time was spent listening to your shit :)

[@jonmakesbeats]

That kind of blows my mind lol

[@wingyuk]

Evokes so much emotion every time you conjure these new beats. Thank you Jon for inspiring me to get out of bed and feel the beauty in this world ✌️

[@lc7204]

Straight heater🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@hypedenier]

mad snes feel this is too good man

[@iby_ibyyy]

dudeeeee that bassline is unreal, thank you for blessing us with these incredible beats

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it

[@dezem7]

Beat! Tune! Thank you for sharing!

[@CRAETION_]

7:11 duuude yes I love Hudmo's early beats! you killed this one

[@PeterJnicol]

Really nice insight right at the beginning "I know how to listen". Sampling to a big degree really is the art of listening.

[@jonmakesbeats]

Making music is listening

[@allpat]

I love your intuitive approach to beat creation - it’s been helping me overthink less and just see where the instruments take me. Thanks for the motivation!❤

[@clewis2388]

Keep up the good work Jon!

[@awmaas]

I love how you explain your thought process, how chill you are, and how you know what you like to hear and don't gatekeep yourself around instruments or approach. I keep your approach and attitude in mind when I create dude, keep killing it

[@jonmakesbeats]

I try to keep an open mind when creating. I also do my best to keep in mind the cameras during filming because sometimes I get lost in what I’m doing and that doesn’t make for very great video

[@3nochendtimesmusic925]

That beat is ill, you killed it! And yeah man all those dope producers that came out around 2009 to 2012 I still have them on shuffle with a bunch of other dope stuff. Peace!

[@skeebert]

Dope.

[@ahmilmanautou4982]

Jon is such a G. These videos have helped me with my own production like crazy. Forever grateful 🙏🏼

[@13Nymous]

Definetly one of the best beats I heard this year. Also, 01:00 - one of the best statements about making music ever. More people should take that approach instead of perfectly planning mass-compatible music. Love your stuff!

[@jonmakesbeats]

It should always be about the end result above all else. If you know what a good record sounds like you can probably make one too

[@lukebarrile3840]

Was about to write the same thing, such a great mindset to come at music with

[@kevinmcgrath5126]

Those first few chords make my heart happy - thank you Jon 🙏 Love the call back to those layered, intricate beats. This was great.

[@sauronreborn]

dope beat and content bro

[@trackidmaybe3820]

Dropped a tear on that groovy nostalgic keys Will be deffo watching you making art and maybe one day will join the gang!

[@joe9189]

jon i have been a fan of your work for years, green light was such a crazy find back in the day, you’re such a talent and it’s so cool to see you sharing your knowledge

[@jonmakesbeats]

I appreciate that, Joe

[@LowTempDabr]

Holy shit I had no idea about your KZbin channel so glad you're still making music and content

[@marcusturner142]

Really like the workflow, simple and focused. And the results are Fire!

[@jonmakesbeats]

Gotta keep it simple

[@estebanlopez1781]

Thanks Bojack! Great beats

[@danieljesus301]

JON YOU'RE A SICK MAN

[@conjius]

just wanna say that i started watching your stuff only recently since I just got the OT for myself, and really enjoy the sincere and down to earth approach, as well as the beats themselves obviously, thanks for sharing your knowledge, and a happy new year!

[@sanchezlives6111]

Man that was a sick beat! I love your music and have really been enjoying watching the vids and getting an insight into your process. Keep doing what your doing bro. Peace!

[@slowestjabroni]

wwwwoowww dude this kills. this sounds like back when you were doing BOWSER. my favorite jon era

[@aureliensimonet492]

That 2008s feeling

[@Kamakauzzy]

Beautiful mane, love the output!

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks man

[@nelsonfranklingaming]

Crazy beat. So sick. Also getting some lord Quas vibes - fits right in that early 2000’s time frame you mentioned 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks Nelson Franklin

[@LiamKillen]

God DAYUM this shit’s like Kraft peanut butter - smooth as a MF 🥜 🧈

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks Liam

[@droogsurgeon1440]

God damn! That’s sick! Good stuff

[@Laotom]

I was thinking it had an old old Flylo vibe until you mentioned Hudson Mohawke. Now I can’t unhear it. Absolute banger ❤️

[@jonmakesbeats]

It could go either way honestly

[@scottrim143]

so fresh

[@funkforward]

Man I was thinking exactly what you say right at @7:05, that beat brought me back...

[@ceetronic]

Kojak and Schnoodle nailing it week on week. The video and the beat are incredible. 🙏❤️

[@Itaketoomanypics]

whos this Schnoodle lol

[@JP-dv7rf]

Killed it!!

[@shane_em_en]

Love the beat and Tomba! On the CRT

[@SonicVibe]

Dope

[@FrankieFigz86]

The Hudson Mohawk/Lunice TNGHT era was SPECIAL

[@justinneumann1492]

Loving these vids

[@PSALM2011]

This brings joy, sick beat.

[@texthetransmuter]

the wave form recorder in the back is dope

[@NicolasGodon]

Hard. Really hard. Deep theme and vibe. Well done Kojak !

[@misterjonestech1611]

Easily one of the best beats I've heard in a looooong time. Loving this joint!

[@markuswustenberg]

I really enjoy how much you’re enjoying yourself.

[@EZBOT_]

This is one of definitely my favorite beat this year.

[@jonmakesbeats]

Hell yeah thanks man

[@robertlyall]

What a ridiculously cool beat, Kojak. You're pretty good at this!

[@bort_o]

The video production is getting tight, love the CRT

[@jonmakesbeats]

Doing our best over here!

[@soderguau1]

This sounds 100% like u said. Brings back memories of mid 2000s spending hours listening to beats.

[@RawMetaFuego]

that late 2000's beat scene vibe !!!!

[@RawMetaFuego]

lol wut @TEL-EGRAM-ME....jonmakesbeats

[@NoahBility]

Got the Tomba in the background! Childhood favorite right there. Lost my copy on a trip to Maryland a long time ago

[@jonmakesbeats]

Goddamn Maryland

[@synthced9536]

This song is sick !!!!!!!!!! You are a genius mate !

[@Prod.by10K]

too fire!!

[@Dheeee]

Can i just say this beat sounds so nostalgic for me ? Make me tear up, i remember listening to the beats and raps u made 8 years ago and you were my favorite underground rapper/producer and inspire some of my beats today. So glad you're still killing it out here

[@bleepsandboops]

So, so, so good

[@patrickromeoau]

This video being 10 minutes reminds me of when KZbinrs used to make it 10:01 on every video lol

[@ease3784]

beautiful

[@gavinhaslett]

[@jonmakesbeats]

It’s on the Patreon!

[@NickT6630]

This sounds awesome!

[@karlgustaf4170]

holy hell brother, I listen to you back in 2014, and I thought you were the shit, And I have not listened to you since, but then I stumbled upon your channel and I am just being real grateful for it. Like how you make your beats and how you approach music, cause it is a very hard thing to approach sometimes. And also I can see that you have grown a lot brother. Anyways just a couple of words to throw into the ether. I subscribed liked and I hope to see you pop up more on my feed soon.

[@neileccles5792]

dope.

[@notcowguts]
