El-P was the reason why I got into beatmaking.

[@NavieD]

Any beat in particular?

@@NavieD Pretty much the entire I'll Sleep When You're De@d album, Tasmanian Pain Coaster was the craziest intro track to a rap album I've ever heard.

Same bro. I tapped so fast. He is such an underrated producer, and had a massive influence on me in the early 2000's.

[@AaronZuniga617]

I did not know of him until this vid I’m super excited to study him

Definitely unique. I love his production

EL-P’s versatility gives me hope that my approach to making music won’t continue to be slept on. Bless up Navie 🙏🏾

[@BIG_PASTA]

Wow! Could it be!?… An EL-P production tutorial where the beat example actually fucking sounds close to a beat EL-P would make?? You may be the first KZbinr to *ever* do it, so bravo!! It’s apparently a near impossible feat :) Great video, thanks man

[@johncitizen8828]

Ha, yeah I was sceptical too!

[@sunflowersamurai10]

He is a massive inspiration to me. His pre RTJ work on cannibal ox, funcrusher plus and fantastic damage changed the way i see beat making. The way he distorts samples and builds up drum breaks into more complex, dense rhythms always dazzles me. He is just that guy man. Great video!

[@McLaReN212]

that first beat you made is a fking banger

[@MS-1]

El-P way underrated as a producer. I remember discovering Co-flow`s Funcrusher Plus vinyl in a basement of a record store I had been working at in the late 90's. 20 something years later and, still relevant.

[@cennybkillinum]

That album and fantastic damage blew my mind, still does

[@OswaldBatesIIIEsq]

That's interesting because I just saw the album cover and decided to give it a shot. At the time, I didn't fully appreciate it. When they dropped the "End to End Burners" video, I went back to "Funcrusher Plus" and haven't looked back.

[@ashtonthornton912]

This is why you’re my favorite teacher on KZbin. You’re the only one I could trust to do make his style of production accessible

[@SIKICIBIRKANAL]

I'm happy that KZbin recommended me this video 1 year later.

[@mattgarcia2168]

A RTJ x jpegmafia collab album would be absolutely incredible

[@erkandevensCOOKBOOK]

3 years in a bucket, fuck it!

[@antiarezzo7630]

J bave no clue how that would sound but im all for it

[@moresnqp]

I've been doing this but with Death Grips as my inspiration. they do a very similar thing just with different stylistics

[@2pugshakur50]

Navie like the martial arts master that can do any style.Great breakdown.El P one of my favorite producers,his style always feels grimey and futuristic like from an apocalypse movie

[@eafortson]

Naive D never misses. Straight Fuego as always.

[@NavieD]

Ayyy thank you bossman

[@johncitizen8828]

Yeah, I had my doubts that you could create something that sounds in the ballpark or what El-P does, as I think it’s kind of a hard sound to get right, and an easy one to make a mess of. Once your beat came in, it was nice.

[@Sundji]

The funny part about this, is that I distinctly remember doing stuff like this when I first started making beats but I never knew how to put it together in a way that sounds intelligible. Using random sounds and layering multiple copies of the same synth with weird effects. I think I need to get back to that after spending so much time trying to teach myself how to write melodies and music theory and shit.

[@Major_FaimOfficial]

Awesome. I really glad you listened to us and made this

[@natking1u1z99]

I’ve been doing this type of production for awhile since 09. DJ Paul uses this technique as well.

[@kaws1205]

Truly amazing! Thank you for exploring El-P’s style with your consistent thoroughness 🙏🏽 there’s no video out there that’ll even touch on his approach, so it’s greatly appreciated 🙌🏽

[@draztikbcf1823]

Wow as I was studying El-p’s production you drop this video….divine timing 🙌🏿

[@lubbers825]

PLEASE MAKE A 1992-1996 CLASSIC RZA VIDEO

[@Two-Eyed_Boy]

Navie, you killed it on this. Awesome mix of documentarian and teacher here and you absolutely got to the core of the lesson.

[@HYBRED247]

And older beats from El-P are even crazier, from his solo albums and Company Flow, with some industrial distorted robotic apocaliptic sound, and abstract disordered syncopated drums, very unique innovative producer, one of the best and favorites.

[@clowdfox6452]

This was very informative and just helped me make a fun experimental beat. Thank you.!!

people need to make more videos discussing his beatmaking

[@zeninvites3209]

That beat is hella interesting. One suggestion for a future vid is analyzing NICK WIZ - imo he is one of the 90s producers who doesn't get enough recognition ... the video called "Best Nick Wiz Beat Flips (Samples)" made me really appreciation his style of boom bap. cheers and keep up the amazing content!

[@Kozanik]

Thank you. The techniques here seem like an extension of the ideas from your Pharrell video. I will put this stuff to good use!

[@JEStheUniversual]

Yooo this is really dope, and great tutorial. EL-P is my favorite producer of all time and I have been studying his craft since 1995. I’ve been producing music for over 20 years now, and he is always someone I always look up to for progression in my skills, him Madlib and J.Dilla (RIP) are my inspirations! I especially love when I discover a sample EL-P flipped maybe in Funcrusher Plus or Cold Vein and I get mad like “How the fuck did he do that?” I pick apart his beats like many try to pick apart Aesops lyrics!

@@BIG_PASTA Fantastic Damage is definitely in my top 5 favorite hip hop albums. First time I listened to it I wasn’t expecting much. Instantly mind blown by his production & lyrics. I’ve always loved the sci fi / cyber punk sound. I always thought he used a wide array of instruments for that album too but it’s kinda refreshing hearing he only used a sampler & turntable. I was hoping he would go more into what he was sampling, I wonder if he took some sounds from movies as well as records
