I personally dont believe in regret in passing up on beats. If you dont feel it, you dont feel it. It needs to happen organically. What happens, happens.

[@MrPrentisp5]

[@socanation2076]

Exactly these videos to me really doesn’t make sense. What’s hot for a person doesn’t mean it’ll hot for another person is all about what the artiste vibes or ideas the artiste have for a song

[@twizzy585ful]

​@@socanation2076yo be fair plenty of artists have regretted letting beats go...but I feel u

[@selfishbeats]

rappers picking beats they don't like is some wierdo shi

[@Theboy1gwe]

Couldn't agree more!!! Besides if Drake had taken the beat, there is no telling if the made song would be anymore successful than it with Kanye

[@gregkerna7410]

Drake is the type of guy to say oopsie when he rejects a good beat.

Drake a gangsta! Quit playing with Aubrey! 😂😂😂

[@drk_fi]

So glad he passed on 'Dark fantasy' because Ye set that beat on fire 🔥🔥🔥 I was listening to it earlier today and it's levels ahead of alot of tracks being put out today

[@KristoferBurns]

I think it’s kinda unfair to say it’s a blunder for an artist to pass on a beat. Picking the right instrumental for you is something that your soul vibes with, you can’t force a good a song.

[@kumatrash]

The Main Sample In The Dark Fantasy Beat Is Meiko Kaji - Wandering Ginza Butterfly

[@Sketchyourname]

in context Meiko Kaji sued RZA for the sample usage but RZA denied this and began suing her and they probably settled out of court of the sample issue.

Drake did make his own song. Its called Paris Morton Music. I get what you say with the Aston Martin type synths. But it works perfect on that beat.

[@guessur]

"Plus I got them wedding ring flows/That engaging shit" 🔥🔥🔥

[@OlegsLoops]

It sounds like Drake's version of Beat 3 features additional production by the great Noah 40. You can hear it on the outro of Paris Morton Music 😎👍🏼 Thank you for the insight again my friend. It is cool to know these stories.

[@alanalaurent6349]

your videos are really cool. thanks for the time you spend to the details.

[@AreYouFNQRAZII]

6:17 I miss the synth sound😢 Everything sounded so much bigger then just a song‼️

[@NavieD]

hahah it does make the song sound bigger, you're right

[@Levoiar]

Gatekeeping a sample is everything wrong with hip-hop. That's when it becomes stealing because you took something that doesn't belong to you and kept it only for yourself. As a Middle Eastern it also annoys me how much Arabic music they sample without ever shouting out or paying respect to any of the original artists and then gatekeep so the original doesn't even get extrra listens. These are shady practices that ruined the genre and I blame everyone for allowing it.

[@onatkd533]

why is "sample snitching" seen as bad thing? I'm genuinely curious, is it because it can cause legal problems if the sample is known? Is it simply just gatekeeping like you said or is there a legitimate reason behind it?

[@mrperson9877]

@@onatkd533 I believe it's just legal issues, some samples can belong to international/foreign giants that can easily sue someone for thousands to millions of dollars.

[@acgthamc]

@@onatkd533gotta know the culture. In the 80’s and 90’s getting a sample cleared was more strict. That’s part of the point of crate digging, to find something unrecognizable. One so it sounds different and two so you don’t have to worry bout clearing it. Especially in a time where originality was everything. So if you sample snitching you fucking my money up and giving niggas a chance to sample what I did.

[@Er8outeir-rb4tc]

@@acgthamcThat argument about “the culture” sucks because if it’s a matter of someone not being able to afford to clear the sample (like back then), then that’s reasonable. But this is Rza, Pete Rock, and Kanye, they definitely could’ve afforded it. They cleared all the other samples on this album, they just didn’t do this one. Same thing with alchemist, he has enough money to clear it, he just doesn’t because he’s stingy

[@acgthamc]

@@Er8outeir-rb4tc back in that time? No they probably couldn’t afford it. And it’s not that deep. The mystery is part of the culture and it make other producers try to match or find the pocket they found. I just learned like a month ago that the shook ones sample was a piano. I could’ve went my whole life not knowing the sample and been fine

[@prodbyabstract]

kanye rejected drake from the beat due to the clash with pusha t somewhere in ''its almost dry'' kanye has a verse where he is talking about

Got it!

[@trippedonthebeat]

@@NavieD man. While we on it, can you make any samples regarding video on It's Almost Dry

[@romybrown6102]

This single came out weeks before Daytona and is most of the reason Drake targeted Ye in the beef. Think of his opening line on What Would Meek Do.

[@PALIO770]

What about a tutorial on Drake's old beats? He had some incredible joints very hard to copy or recreate, like the "Worst Behavior" beat

Drake made Paris Morton Music with that Aston Martin Music beat. It was on mixtapes back then, and he eventually released it on Care Package.

[@rufuspuido9682]

[@ladyheroin.v4143]

That “ Aston Martin music beat “ was on a Drake solo song. It was released on the care package album.

[@Capocanoniere]

Damn, I didn't know Karim Benzema knew so much about beats...

[@regusloks]

Drake also passed on J Coles “Mo Money” beat off of Born Sinner. Apparently Cole wasnt going to use that beat because Drake was working on it but Cole got the green light to use the beat on some last minute situation and ended up putting it on his album.

[@tiagoruiz2453]

Navie could you do a video on the ghost pop tape please🙏 I think it would be interesting to understand how Peggy managed to deliver such a eerie and depressing message through his music. (I’m saying it now because it just got remastered!!)

[@demandcollect]

Funny one to add was 0-100 story with diddy

[@threezysworld8089]

Naive I need help if you can. On Drake's 'HYFR' there's a constant chord repeating in back, commonly called "pedal point" or a "drone". How is it mixed? When I try it it doesn't work and just gets very grating on the ear 😢

[@lelimaseru652]

13 years later and I did not know that Dark Fantasy was a sample 😱 I know that album in and out, how was it not in the credits??? You gotta sample snitch please!!!! I need to hear the original

[@LILGHETTI]

Drake used the JUSTICE LEAGUE beat and released it as paris morton music

[@oyoyoyo7624]

about “gatekeeping.”: while it’s true that this is “no longer the 90s,” Navie’s choice to share the source’s audio without saying more is a respectable balance of professionalism/honoring a sense of confidentiality amongst fellow musicians, and acting as a source of musical education. i am learning so much from Navie’s videos, it never crossed my mind to criticize him for not doing sobering he wasn’t comfortable with!

[@kellyhurley741]

To play devils advocate here, you can’t say it was a mistake on his part. Every beat isn’t for everyone. Some songs only need a good singer or someone with “the right voice”, while others truly sound like they were meant for that one person. As an artist, you probably won’t catch a vibe. Everything ain’t for everyone
