The Father of "Modern Day" Lofi

[@tttooooni]

Damn, the Cowboy Bebop thumbnail somehow had me thinking this would be about Nujabes :D

[@JayDAndre]

I would attribute Nujabes more to Samurai Champloo especially with his involvement in the sound track. But if we're talking the Godfather of the Genre fasho fasho Nujabes is that guy! 🔥

[@jovemblvcksabbath]

the editing of this video, it's beautiful

[@JayDAndre]

Thank you fam means a lot! 🙌🏾

[@victormartins7867]

a true legend, this dude did so much for the community out of sheer passion for the art form. I'll never forget that time perid between 2013-2016 when soundcloud beatmakers were pushing things further and further, before the so called "lofi" took over and made everything plastic and commercial.

[@JayDAndre]

Bro I'm saying like it goes beyond just making beats he was truly a man for the culture. Nothing but sheer respect for a legend 🔥. Yeah I feel that 2013-2016 was a time you had to truly be there. Almost doesn't feel real! Thanks for coming thru!

[@wait_in_gold_ON_SPOTIFY]

@@JayDAndreI wish I was more focused on music back then 😢. Now the lofi space is so over saturated and commercialized. And dependent on playlists. My most successful song out there is also my most generic

[@phananh2531]

Gotta mention SwuM and j^p^n too. j^p^n style [offering] is jst majestic and i remember Rick N Morty by SwuM got a shout out frm Flylo once, got played at his set too Matt is the goat man. He and Knx hooked me on to make beats. [ pook ] is an amazing achievement. Rlly glad u make this vid

[@JayDAndre]

Bro how the hell did I forget SwuM another straight legend and yeah j^p^n was puttin out heaters too! Matt is really a great guy man just uber love for the culture. I'm glad I could bring back the feeling of them days just a bit. Thanks for stoppin thru!

[@offbeatninja]

Bsd.u is the homie forreal. Hell I'm cool with everyone you named. Hell I'm even in the list lol. But big up!

[@JayDAndre]

Nah fam you had some heaters too! That Coolin joint with Sayain man on the cover 🔥we neva forget! I'm glad you found your way here! Big ups famo!

[@sarien6979]

just the video in itself is so well made really feel like a night cohversation about music

[@JayDAndre]

Thank you friend that's exactly what's it supposed to feel like! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@suyo6821]

late night bumps changed everything, those tapes made me want to make hip hop

[@JayDAndre]

Bro I'm saying such a different era doesn't even feel real

[@bruceleeroy7255]

I been shouting this for Ages! Cats today don’t know the history, cheers to you and all the Heads in here

[@JayDAndre]

Ÿessir you know what's up! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 a legend!

[@jovemblvcksabbath]

your relationship with bsd.u is the same as mine with Jinsang

[@JayDAndre]

I get it man! Jinsang is one of them guys.. straight filthy!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@wait_in_gold_ON_SPOTIFY]

That’s me and BROCKBEATS

[@LouJP]

Bro I need people to expose this raw ass genre before chillhop took over. Shoulda mentioned ntourage, 90sflav for pushing the platform and lesser known dudes like hurlum and m a n n y for that og sound which is kinda forgotten in the past now. Discovering this genre changed my life and got me into hardware to replicate that specific sound which you can get close to with plugins but not the whole way there imo

[@JayDAndre]

Bro there's are so many OGs it's hard to even mention errybody 😭. But yeah def 2014 - 2016 was a special time man we'll never go back man unfortunately but gotta be happy we were there to witness and take part ya know! Thanks for comin thru!

[@slik_p]

Nice of you to make this video. I follow him on IG and noticed that he was being f'd up by some label very recently.

[@JayDAndre]

Fasho he needs the flowers! And yeah him and everybody on that damn label they dirty as hell!

[@weaver-lofi]

@@JayDAndrevindig are the lofi boogie man in the closet

[@Bittamin]

@@JayDAndre for real! This is why sometimes I say “I’m gonna start my own label, with blackjack… and hookers!! Ah, forget the label, and the blackjack” 😂

[@gnawvy]

It's SO HARD not to go overboard on drums and percussion. I feel like it's just too SIMPLE when I do it, but when I listen to other for inspiration it's that simple drum pattern. It's just hard for me to let it be when I lay the drums simple like that

[@JayDAndre]

Bro I get u.. Just gotta make sacrifices for the good of the music ya know! Finding uniqueness in simplicity it's a challenge but rewarding!

[@x7lbgamingx]

i remember finding him on soundcloud and then buying all his projects off bandcamp for $4.20 each haha

[@JayDAndre]

Bro he was so fried for that lmao

[@johnbenson492]

This video was a vibe new subscriber here👍 Yo random question from your experience did you learn cord progression from piano and reading music or what would you recommend in order to create music?

[@JayDAndre]

Thanks homie! And tbh knowing a lil music theory goes a long way. I'm no Mozart but I picked up a few tricks here and there. It's really all in the ear for me! Thanks for asking!

[@JayDAndre]

Just listen and study music you'll get it.. so many youtube vids can help 2!

[@Benry675]

Nice video man this man needs more love. I found him in middle school before my Dilla highschool years.

[@JayDAndre]

I swear he deserves all the flowers! 🙌🏾 show the love!

[@MagnoliaOCSol]

I remember listening to him all of my sophomore year in college trying to get the sound just right. Learned a bit from him, and he's a super humble dude. I hope I can change the game next for real.

[@JayDAndre]

Super cool dude man real chill guy! He inspired so many people fasho! And yo you can do whatever you pit your mind to homie I believe in you! 💯

[@PSOULONTHETRACK]

happy to see bsd.u getting love. but on a side note the cinematography in this video is incredible. well done!

[@JayDAndre]

He deserves it man! I can't even explain how influential he was vs how much he's talked about! Sidenote damn the legendary "P Soul on the Track" 🗣 mah boi I bee. Rappin to your beats for years man I appreciate you showing love it means alot dawg! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@PSOULONTHETRACK]

@@JayDAndre real recognize real! & salute to you mane. I always try to stay tapped in with the people who care about the ART. I appreciate what you're doing. Keep being yourself & spreading love my g.

[@JayDAndre]

[@JayDAndre]

Thank you man you don't understand the time it took me to find my look and bring my vision to life! 😭 means a lot that yall enjoy it 🙌🏾. Thanks for comin thru!

[@alexsanderich]

Nice to see people talking about matt. he's the goat. The only artist of the genre i never stopped listening

[@JayDAndre]

Of course man somebody had to give him his flowers! So I took it upon myself. He's a cool ass dude!

[@lousantana47]

thank you for another insightful video man, the visuals are so nice on this one ✨

[@JayDAndre]

Right on famo! I gotchu, this was the vision I had it took a while to bring it to light but was so worth it!

[@_phreest]

amazing video love how cinematic it was shot and its really fascinating to learn history about lofi i didn't know i came kinda late into the genre and will be checking out the people you listed with bsd.u i was kinda introduced into lofi from lofi girl, xxxtentacion, and kota the friend

[@JayDAndre]

Thanks homie! I love cinematography and wanted to incorporate that into my videos for so long. But yeah go check out some of the legends! Thanks for stopping by! 🙌🏾

[@soulsearching6613]

So few people actually know who bsdu is amazing video and ur putting into words what a lot of us had in our minds amazing vid

[@JayDAndre]

Bro it's criminal he's put to much work in and done too much for the culture to not be known worldwide. I'm glad I could help!

[@prodbycostis612]

Bsd.u is a legend. I started producing in 2015 and would go on the lofi hip hop forum all the time. Crazy how much its all blown up since then.

[@JayDAndre]

Bro straight legendary stuff! I really miss those forums 🥹

[@BeautifulLoops]

Dope video bro I appreciate you sharing this. 🔥🔥🔥

[@JayDAndre]

I appreciate you for showing some love! 🙌🏾 thank u homie!

[@BeautifulLoops]

[@jooouwu]

[@JayDAndre]

The GOAT! yeah man those LNB tapes are classics!

[@kierraalbertson-jc8rw]

Your style is 🔥🔥

[@JayDAndre]

😌❤️ stank u very much 💯

[@itsspookie]

Id argue Nujabes is the reason why we have lofi.

[@JayDAndre]

Nujabes is gonna get his own video fasho! This is why I said "modern day" like post 2010 the new age lofi era! But Nujabes the Godfather fasho

[@itsspookie]

@JayDAndre Fair statement. I definitely missed that so 100% my bad. but video was fire fam. Great content!

[@JayDAndre]

[@balaenoma]

nujabes is the only right answer❤

[@JayDAndre]

Ok like I was saying to someone else that's why I said I'm talking "modern day" I'm talking post 2010 like the more modern era of lofi. When you're talking Godfather of lofi easily Nujabes! He gets his own video soon!

[@balaenoma]

@@JayDAndre hmmmmmm heard you i respect that ill be looking out

[@wait_in_gold_ON_SPOTIFY]

Jaeden Camstra is my GOAT

[@JayDAndre]

Bro another heavy hitter right there! And his album cover game was on point 🔥🔥

[@wait_in_gold_ON_SPOTIFY]

@@JayDAndreyess. Hopefully he releases some new stuff soon. Been a long time since I’ve he put out a new album

[@ShaneAllenTV]

Bro what mic is that, I been looking for the name for so long? 😩🙏🏾

[@JayDAndre]

It's actually the Tascam Dr 40x Field Recorder! I bought a little wind muff for it. It made getting clean audi way easier before I invested in my wireless mics!

[@ShaneAllenTV]

@@JayDAndre bro you’re such a real one for this mann. This mic sounds soooo clean! I bought a pc mic recently for a voiceover, but I’m still going to get this one. Been tryna get the name for so long 😂 appreciate you mann

[@danny1999lol]

bsd.u was the modern day intro to the style. i remember watching the interview when it first came out, they were so down to earth and open with their workflow

[@JayDAndre]

Bro 100% so down to earth and a dope ass dude!

[@flannellewis]

so glad to see bsd.u gettin flowers. he was the first one i saw have those anime fight video edits to his beats

[@JayDAndre]

Right? I'm also hearing how so many haven't heard of the man, so I'm glad I can put some people on to some magic!

[@Homieonice]

lofi hip hop is just gentrified boom bap😂

[@JayDAndre]

Nahhhhh bruh lmao I can't cosign.. ok I get the thought process behind it but I think it's a subsidiary of boom bap. Lo fidelity been a thang forever I think we just finally put a name to it ya know. Come on dawg gotta give it a bit more credit than that 😭

[@Homieonice]

@@JayDAndre u make sense
