Marco Polo -"MP On The MP" S01E04 - The Nostalgic Edition (Nostalgia beat breakdown)

This week is for the die hard Marco Polo/Masta Ace fans as I located the original beat for "Nostalgia" off my Port Authority album. We go thru the entire beat and I take serious trip down memory lane! Enjoy.
all the Nostalgia drum sounds+ bass tone available in "Pad Thai" Vol. 1 @ www.marcopolobeats.com

Port Authority still bangs in 2020💯💯🔥

[@acethemcacethemc1491]

This is one of my favorite beats. So hip hop

[@MattCupan]

That beat... When he said "no 'hook' sounds" I was like damn, that whole sample loop programmed was HOOK. Super dope beat. An OG spitting on it. Video was dope too; dude behind the register at a Bodega. Just a super creative project put together.

[@phactone]

This shows how talented Marco Polo is. To call “Nostalgia” his “humble beginnings” is amazing. Really digging these videos, Marco. This is some really great content.

[@BritoWorx]

RIP Pumpkinhead

[@alanisalive7210]

I come back to this video often because Nostalgia is one of my all time favorite beats. Shits so cold, this is one the reasons why I started making beats.

[@DamnCarlSucks]

Respect to Marco with the Converge hoodie standing next to Masta Ace. You will never see a more perfect representation of the umbrella that is hip-hop. Beautiful image.

[@zimble]

Damn such a sick behind the scenes look at the track. Shit was hot when it dropped and still is

[@gosha33333]

..and forever will be.

[@arthurwilson2964]

When i first heard Nostalgia i got this incredible sense of humbleness cause at the time hip hop was turning into something ugly the love for the music wasn't there anymore the music that was put out back then was dark 🌑 and gritty but after hearing nostalgia was like fresh Air and reminded you of the essence of why true hip hop was created thank you Marco Polo and Master Ace

[@mikkifarmer9626]

DJ Marco Polo continues to keep real Hip Hop alive. God bless him.

[@freebeatsprovider9538]

The First thing my son of 5 plays on my car stereo on his way to school is this Joint man..classic!!

[@origamibulldoser1618]

Put that song on at the right / wrong time, tears come out. It sounds exactly like growing old an reminiscing.

[@littleboybeats]

Each of your videos is a master class, man. Thanks.

[@djmsquared]

Amazing. I’ve always loved this joint!

[@BestKeptSecreization]

I love this show !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Phoneticbeats]

These videos are awesome. Keep em coming

[@_thevaporz]

Such a great song. I love the b roll footage at the end with Ace clownin' too. That was funny. I wish he would've talked a bit on making the song, maybe share something about what you guys remembers from making the music video and what convinced him to keep going making music? I'm so glad he did, Masta Ace is a legend! I caught J-Zone in the video too I'm glad he got back into music thru his drumming and the DuRites band. Peace

[@DJYNOT2]

Much love.... you 2 are 2 oof my favs

[@kennyjaxx]

Great video MP. Keep'em coming bro. I learn something with each one you post. Respect.

Truly a classic my brother! I look forward to the notification every Friday when the new MP on the MP is posted thank you sir. Great little cameo from Ace

[@filippodellavedova2262]

Thank you! Pure knowledge! YO

[@MistaMizo]

For years I always thought it was a sample loop that was chopped. Not ever thinking those was just 1 hits. That how fucking well put together that song was.... MASTERPIECE

[@ObscureSampology]

dope bro - glad you showed us this - those scratches were awesome. DOPE SONG DOPE PRODUCTION

[@elmortobeats5919]

[@DMVLeGenD96]

One of my favorite beats ever

[@MAARTN]

Awesome video once again MP, had this track on repeat when it came out!

[@-.s-.s5800]

So humble marco polo mad respect

[@TelaPlano]

Great one, Marco!

[@Netm8kr]

🔥🔥🔥 Indeed a favorite...

[@jaytheassassin3305]

This is my favorite Marco Polo beat. I remember when I first heard this joint on Much Music Rap City back in 07 when I was 15.

[@mrpana]

my first marco polo 12' was nostalgia

[@loosegrams]

This song is a classic!

[@forbeatssake1530]

I recognized that drum break instantly. Nice chop!

[@forbeatssake1530]

@@dkproducer sorry, not gonna say that here out of respect to the producer.

[@kevinodoherty5760]

Curtain lifted..boom.... Classic!

[@tarbooshrecords8530]

Dope!

[@ronrobins3513]

RESPECT 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@NeverNotHoopin]

The most underrated producer alive! Your most notable beats for me are 3 o´clock and Breukelen. Hooked up to 3 o´clock till this day. Somwhere in my top 5 of all time

[@goliathoner]

So fresh.

[@marlostanfield4679]

So glad you did this video. Just for the sake of the story telling.

[@maleekbeats]

Thank you!!

[@jmorrisey79]

This is cool as hell to see. I'm the same way where I'll hear certain sounds and they just make me laugh. Difference is.. I won't use those sounds.. or rather I guess I don't know how to use them. Marco has that ability to not only choose the right "cheesy" sound(s), but also make them fit the beat. Boom.. everything sounds dope together. That's the shit I need to work on most I think.

[@Lolife86]

Marco Polo is a killa . Straight .

[@denislocs141]

🔥🔥🔥🔥king

[@beatsinmycrates]

Classic.

[@ravinderchahal7186]

hip hop pure form

[@isamabravo]

Thanks!!

[@VintageScienceMusic]

Dope

[@tshegofatsosekhabi9085]

this guy is a genius

[@ceciliafbrown373]

Luv the tee shirt!

[@NN-ib3rf]

Still Fresh. Still Hip Hop. Perhaps natural for one to go back on a earlier time and think and laugh about it, but this beat still drop nothing but the Hip Hop vibe that make real heads appreciate the Artform.

[@Sinosure]

Excellent content Marco Polo!! I hate I have more important things to tend to at this time or I would be buying your new sound pack & entering your contest.

[@KVNBEATS]

MP never disappoints on the MP

[@jonesconrad1]

I found all my zips recently, a load of NOS floppies in the attic too. my S900 won't even read a floppy anymore, still useful to go in and back out again for some instant crunch though,

[@favouritethings11]

Gems

[@52aka47]

I had fucking goosebumps on this beat and I was 11 years old back then. Now im 24 and still here!! I was in shock while u made an album with O.S.T.R from my city Lodz, Poland. Wish to make something with U Man...Peace.

[@RosvStudios]

dope series, keep this shit going

[@CrownJewelzMusicGroup]

Songs got that feel classic

[@InvasorSikiatra]

Tremendo todo esto

[@accurateskills791]

Masta Ace in the place to be as MP bangs on the MPC 🔥

[@8meechy8]

Thank you for giving your fans insight ...Love the videos.. just was wondering if you would be going more depth in the future. Like mixing techniques, how u pick or your source for drums besides old records ..

[@alienloop]

😍😍🔥🔥

[@MikeBiohazard]

MOOOOOOOREEEEEE

[@kevinpeeters947]

This beat makes me cry , feels good tho

[@karthik_silkroads]

[@pharcyde4943]

YES BROTHERS!❤🇺🇸❤

[@djrome803.]

✊🏿

[@ironMICkane]

damn thats like 8 chops....genius

[@thabigdiesle1979]

I know this song just had to research how this beat was made awesome

[@Mcsteveberry]

afropolo ep thumpin

[@alejandragracia3556]

🥰

[@lionstudiodundee]

Hip-Hop 💯%

[@kevinbrooks5966]

You should do one with Ace doing a beat.

[@DedushkaDolinin]

9:14 wow J-Zone?

[@jimmyhatz]

Fuck yes

[@dkproducer]

wish we got to hear more of how the hook section was made...sounds like a different part of the sample was taken and then that rhodes sound was added over it

[@-.s-.s5800]

I didn’t have the money to buy the pad Thai, if I participated I would surely win fam 😭

[@reynoldspeele3325]

Yo MP! So I use a mpc touch. Sampling, I use mono (where the pad cuts of to the next sound). Is it better to trim your samples to poly?

[@sgtcreasegrease]

Ace was fuckin nice on the beats, Paula's Jam is still a jam.

[@SuperJg1975]

Hey Marco , what for monitors do you use, they look like hifi speakers ?

[@ProjectCarTV]

How influential were albums like Beastie Boys Check Your Head.

[@pharcyde4943]

Spaghetti bender receipt can be seen in the video Nostalgia . 🤑🤑

[@klausherbert3040]

Wow, I would really like to learn how to play these drums. Is there a midi so I can learn it better?

[@richariz7896]

you asking for to much idiot

[@dkproducer]

I think that it comes from a drum break...he wouldn't have programmed that himself at that point in his career.
