@@tommydashed4205 I can name multiple composers whom you never heard of that can make beats like these in 5 minutes, and do some extremely complicated work and spend months on a single song. Work that someone like Metro will never be able to replicate, and they don't see a lick of his fame.

Hi, very nice and struktured video👍👍. I got a Question to the second Beat. Isn't it also possible to sidechain the Kick and the 808 so that they fit together? Or is there a disadvantage when I use the Sidchain

[@Lock0utprod]

No lol sidechaining is just ducking the 808s which is exactky what he did in the vid

[@bene9545]

You can also sidechain the actual frequency you want rather than the entire sound

[@derekrebel3384]

Been listening to Metro since his work with Oj. This tape really was on some pre 2010 ish

[@saggyxbeats]

crazy man

[@kuandemarco5498]

The elements were already in the sample. Stacking drums make the beat already present behave like parallel compression. Metro rolled off the original 808 notes and transposed the sample down and did the sub bass with the horn melody. Back in the day they didn’t really play the 808 in several notes. From a creative standpoint it’s really not all that. However the vibe and the song all together makes it dope. Erik B and Rakim used the sample first. The west coast always replayed the samples back in the day. This was one of Rodney O and Joe Cooley biggest song. East coast had the lyrics back then but cats was on subways and at party’s. In the West the D Boys had crazy sound systems with the trunk rattling. The way saturation is added on the 808 today is owed to that trunk rattling sound. It’s dope how things go full circle.

[@KRISTIJAN63]

my biggest problem with the beats on the album is that the drums sound too steady and on beat, kinda like a metronome. wish metro would put more snares and percs on the off beats like in his older production

[@saigonproducer]

Funny fact: that first beat you made is technically in E Phrygian, not E minor.

[@toodoperecords]

that would be a key point to mention tbh... not just saying you're putting a note out of key. 808 mafia and etc have been using the phrygian for a while now and it helps people actually understand it isnt just a random note.

[@saigonproducer]

@@toodoperecords I don’t think kxvi even knows he’s using that scale

You can also try to sidechain the 808 and kick to prevent them from clashing with each other.

bro drums on type shit are obviously did by D Rich legendary producer even his open hat is present in bounce he is originator of glo wave sound and trap off beat bounces . And even bells are from roland fantom his main go-to keyboard. I think Metro did only Hook - Bridge and maybe some sounds in back.
