Beat Breakdown - Power by Kanye West (prod. S1 and Kanye West)

Kanye went all genius on this one

[@markusbonnet439]

@oreo2k he has a hand in most of the producing in his song while most other artist only do vocals , as well as kanye making strides to different genre mixing in his music so I say he deserves all the credit

[@dremmz]

Yeah, sure kid let me explain this. Kanye is a creative thinker, he comes up with ideas, other people make them real. Not saying Kanye can’t make all the music himself but sometimes having other people making your ideas real can benefit you

[@snm8071]

@@dremmz its called curation. kanye can definitely create great beats by himself (the college dropout and prior). but to make these grand beats on mbdtf, you need other minds to be working on it.

[@Connorslamevideos]

"Hip Hop isnt music" they said "Hip Hop is completely talentless" they said

[@NepTenn_official]

+Connor Moritz Sad thing is a lot of people will use this video to justify those claims, even tho this justifies the complete opposite.

[@NepTenn_official]

+JO$EPH I (sadly) know people that will pick the part at 0:27 and ramble on about how it's a "ripoff" etc, ignoring all the instruments and original composition from the bass, piano, chords, and drums that make it an entirely new song in a very creative way. Some people just have a very narrow vision of hip-hop/rap and they'll stay entitled to that vision no matter what.

[@ethanstanis5313]

+Rainbow Maker Tch, true that.

[@Gm_s.e]

Show them a live show from J.Cole for example...And there's a lot other things to show them...But still they will be trapped in their thoughts...

[@Gm_s.e]

Rafi Hudaya Yeah I agree.. too bad (for them) :P

[@MrNelson94]

Good music production team spazed on this one, this shit is orchestral, progressive and old school break beat at the same time, kanye is way ahead of his time and retro at the same time lol

[@Tk-th1bq]

i can NEVER forget how hearing the original track made me feel the first time i heard it, i was amazed that THIS was hip hop..i played the album for 3 months straight in my car...feeling renewed and hopeful...it was simply one of the best works of art to exist...splendid

+Pedro “BootyASSassin69” Perez there are already too damn many Kanye breakdowns

[@PetesMediaCo]

Kieran, I understand that and I agree. But, seriously, Kanye has some of the most articulate beats out there. Maybe we can get some more J. Cole, Kendrick, or someone else. I wouldn't mind. Especially since beat breakdowns are the sole reason I subscribed, just not Beat Critique or livestreams.

[@PastPerspectives11]

More beats from the RZA and Dj Primo, they are so under appreciated in this series

[@DirtCobaine]

MBDTF is the most beautiful album of all time. The album is full of powerful music like this from start to finish. This album seriously has had the biggest impact on my life by far than any kind of art. This album is literally the soundtrack of my life. These sounds and chords and notes are always in my head and I’m always humming them or making reference to them. For example the lead synth at 4:03 is my favorite part and I am always singing that part in the shower lol

[@YoungJOPE]

Kanye is a fucking genius.

[@mrmovieguy1000]

Crazy Also, the synthesized strings really reminds me of "Mercy" when Kanye rapped over Tony's Theme from Scarface

[@KAINEKROW9797]

This makes me respect how much passion Kanye truly has for music. He had lots of creative control when making the song, and it shows.

Dude, this video is awesome. I can't believe this channel didn't become very popular among the beat making community

Amazing man! Really shows how much detail is put into these tracks

[@youngsuit]

this album was like what prog rock listeners love about concept albums and musical complexity but without being nearly as pretentious nor the complexity for complexity sake

[@sparda9060]

My god its a lot of layers to this song. Hes def a music producer genius. Takes massive creativity to envision this all in your head and replicate it in real life. No wonder it took more than just him to make the entire song.

[@yeezyjenner9958]

I love these things man. Keep doing em. It makes me respect the producers so much more and makes me like the song even more. These are sick

[@micahbrown3912]

I think Kanye might have used a bit crusher on the drums and used compression to tighten up the whole song. Other than those two differences, this is a very detailed and accurate remake for the most part. Well done :)

[@smileyface3107]

How do you think someone writes such a complex song like this!? I wonder what their thought process was. Wiki says all these people worked on it: I wonder how it would have turned out if just a couple wrote it. Songwriter(s) Kanye West, Larry Griffin Jr., Mike Dean, Jeff Bhasker, Andwele Gardner, Ken Lewis, Francois Bernheim, Jean-Pierre Lang, Boris Bergman, Robert Fripp, Michael Giles, Greg Lake, Ian McDonald, Billy Carter, Harold Cowart, Jimmy O'Rourke, Ron Ziegler Producer(s) S1, Kanye West, Jeff Bhasker, Mike Dean, Andrew Dawson,[1] Happy Perez[2][3] thanks for the awesome video btw

Only people with the ability to see the hidden layers in his songs can appreciate him. Kanye speaks for our inner deepest soul and is the voice of silent majority. It saddens me that people still sleep on him. I do not want him to be another goat recognized after he died. I want him to be known as the best person right now when he’s alive, so that people can appreciate how amazing he is.
