Jake One Making of the Beat for Rick Ross feat Jay Z and Dr. Dre "3 Kings"

[@warrenlankford5933]

This is quite special for me to watch. This is the guy that sampled my choir song "Psalms 121" to create "The Success" on Wale's current CD "The Album About Nothing". Because this song samples a gospel song, it's looking at exactly how he created "The Success" as well. WOW!!!

[@thedjruiner]

+Warren Lankford Really cool

[@LuigiYT1]

Warren Lankford isn't it an amazing process to watch? Thanks for the beautiful music man

[@johndough7485]

Can I sample your stuff too?

[@warrenlankford5933]

@@johndough7485 thank you for your inquiry. Have you seen Jake One's video about my song?

[@johndough7485]

@@warrenlankford5933 I just watched. Dope song. Awesome of ya to clear the sample too.

[@ConceptOner]

sampling is an art form. just like photography. you don't tell the photographer that he stole the scene. there's angles lighting composition etc. just like sampling there's eqing, chopping, looping, stretching, filtering, processing, etc.

[@MauriceBerisha]

I really like this comment

[@AudioDreamMusicGroup]

well said

[@spammail06]

Its more like a photographer taking a picture of someone else's painting. Its a reworking of someone else's art to make new art. If its done correctly, then its great. If its done poorly, then its just ripping off someone else's art.

[@clayton8036]

nope try again

[@chello70]

Bullshit! Sampling is sampling. Making your own melodies.. Now that's art! Playing the guitar, playing the keyboard, recording your own vocals and backup vocals, Working on the structure of the track, mixing, and mastering. To create something out of nothing...That's art. You wanna to be called a melody maker...than BE a melody maker

[@lageryaya]

Great to see a humble producer,about the music & no ego... less is more..Jake you are the One... Thank You

[@TheCratez]

I just love how Jake One manages to do the most out of the minimum Number of Sounds. His beats sound so big without having 1000 sounds in them.

[@AdamRamirez47]

AMEN. less is more. jake on the god.

[@officialpitusbeatz]

plus...he's so humble. A true gifted artist.

[@TruthfullySpeaking500]

Pitus Beatz I like music guy but jeez. Ur erection is showing.

[@poppy7i8]

***** DOnt forget that the sample accounts for 5 instruments in itself. No knock on jake though...

[@Ayplus]

The art of minimalism. . .

[@HiImRack]

Jake One never fails to amaze me. Def a producer that I respect whole hearty for sharing steps, technique, and structure (if you watch closely).

[@Dillmatic97]

One of the most legendary sounding beats of this decade. Definitely heard some sort of Just Blaze influence. Amazing track

[@quantum0151]

This beat is so fucking cold. It’s crazy how humans can make such beautiful art.

[@shanenonanooo]

Jake One is hands down one of the best producers around. His work inspires me like crazy. Thanks for all you do Jake.

[@Daveosbeatz]

love seeing the ASR being used, you so humble man..mad respect

[@thatailor_]

The Simplicity of the set up makes it even more magical no plugins no in the box feeling all-natural god-given talent can be taught gem just magical. thank you

[@mrp4235]

I immediately have Dre the credit for this...wow. I was wrong..this beat and those cymbals...crashing like that...just a perfect blend...then each artist added another instrument with the bars.....👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏆🏆

[@valoruniversity]

like Pac said... Dre aint produced in years....jk

[@JOBEEHUSTLER]

Thank you for making this beat..... Song changed my life..... Still play it on a daily....

[@HarlowBurn]

Such an amazing but simple beat. The effect with the delay brought it to life.

[@StarTheKiddBeats]

It's nice to know who is truly behind the beats. I like videos like these...

[@EZWest-om4nu]

ASR 10 still killing it!

[@JS-ed2hg]

It's a legendary beat, listened to that song a million times!

[@mtheorymkali5770]

great beats never get old.. sounds really good Jake. thank you for the inspiration.

[@mtheorymkali5770]

Jake is one of the few Cats out here that has progression in his beats. It’s not just some repetitive stuff. and it sounds like an actual human behind his funky beats. Real talk!

[@sofrshsocln4]

That was so crazy how he played the bass against the piano sample like that. True skills

[@rodmills737]

I love that song, I had no idea he did that song, I thought Dre did it, this dude got talent

[@ninediamond]

new studio looks great man, your an inspiration to all us producers.

[@unc1589]

I remember the moment that Flex played it on the radio. He dropped about 50 bombshells on it for an hour straight it felt like. Jake is right. The song is just so huge!

[@BMUSIK101]

jake one is the black kanye west

[@Ayplus]

Jake One is Jake Uno

[@ChiTownNekst773]

He really is tho....

[@ChiTownNekst773]

Naw he's white, this doods the black yeezy

[@ChiTownNekst773]

Word he does, I wanna get my producing skill up there hopefully by the end of my senior year of college, I'm a senior in highschool now, and I'll be going to either Virginia State or UDMercy this fall

[@BlessBrian]

BMUSIK Jake One is Jake One

[@312Freecity]

This beat was one of the hardest on the album 🔥

[@diffrence3]

That ASR10 STILL IS DOPE.Love that 16bit sound

[@BeatBum805]

I dont understand when people say "I love the 16bit sound" (no pun intended). I make beatz, and I'm trying to figure out the difference. any idea?

[@diffrence3]

its like when some prod. use that tape saturation to" warm up" the track. Those machines by todays standards are primitive. But they sorta give sounds that analog feeling. Depends on what personality you would like your song to take on. I think in this case I think it encompasses the passion of the song. Keep grindin' RGomez . Sincerely Darrin Cox.

[@BeatBum805]

diffrence3 I got you now. It does sound nice. I want one of those asr 10s.

[@diffrence3]

any kind of gear with that 16 bit to 32bit in its description. MPC, asr 10, asr x, sp12 , Sp1200. These are a couple of examples. But it is many more.

[@BeatBum805]

diffrence3 Ohhhh. I got it.

[@onelove4581]

I just got back from work , feeling all tired and shit, went into my little bedroom studio and thought yea why not make a beat, but just before i started i typed in making a beat just for the heck of it and i clicked on your video. My life changed after that. Thank you Snare Jordan. You are Hiphop

[@nomoremusic-s3p]

Awesome beat! It inspires me to make dope beats too

[@BobbyWashingtonMusic]

It's now than 6 sounds. You have to count all the sounds that are layered in that sample. The sample was produced on a big console back in the day in a big studio. That's why it sounds so fat.

[@hackneymanlee]

Bobby Washington the original sample itself only counts as 1 of the 6 elements though I believe

[@lorenzoburton3974]

Good point

[@scottmorgan8333]

I love his back stories... He is so easy to listen to. So humble and relatable. He is repping Seattle in every video - Mariners top, Huskies hat, Gary Payton poster, Rainier sticker on the ASR... I love it.

[@FinessedAnalyzer]

3:15 - 4:25 "pull the background vocals/instruments up; making more prominent in the sample"; "phasing and stereo-mixing" 9:45 - "Yamaha CSL1; sweep on keyboard and turning delay way up"

[@silky1700]

Stimulus Package with Freeway was the shit. A lot of people slept on that Cd. Crazy beats on it.

[@mlaws11291]

Man that was a monstrous chop!

[@rbiznezz2]

always knew Jake was dope but he really revealed his pedigree here. Highly skilled, visionary, and resourceful. Plus soulful and hella funky.

[@orr971]

Great I love making of videos from great producers. Jake One is a wonderful producer. Not just because of the "mainstream" Rick Ross song. If you like this beat you should listen to some of the "underground" sounds he did. Big Twins, Evidence etc.

[@WUF0REVER90]

Orr971 anyone that's worked with MF DOOM has talent in my books

The fact that Kendrick could've had this beat...

[@JETLIFEMUZIK]

Sometimes rappers just can't get into it believe it or not its not that easy to get on a track and make it a hit, you have to have the elements "verses/hooks/bridges" etc and some rappers just can't find the fit. Drop the World was Eminems before he gave it to wayne.

[@TheMaverickKing123]

This whole time I thought Dre produced this...

[@SevenUpHub]

This is why they need to list the producer next to the artist when they release songs... The producer is the main reason the song is what it is

[@ethrez]

Sounds a lot like a dre beat. And dre doesnt often rap on beats he didnt produce himself, so you had all the reasons to think that.

[@TheFUNKSTARR]

@@ethrez Dre raps on other producer’s beats more than you think, DJ Khalil, Jake One, Bink!, Rick Rock, Dem Jointz to name a few. One thing’s for sure tho Dre always mixes whatever he raps on.
