Thank God Westside said "Hold on, what's that"

[@nadirtheking7139]

HE A MUSICAL GENIUS 🙏🏾💯

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

Sounds like Westside Gunn deserves a producer credit on this one. Dude basically was the visionary for the song.

[@AGAU1022]

Maybe you're right. It could come under song-writing which he is already credited for. Has anyone ever been credited as producer for just picking something for someone else to sample and not actually doing any processing?

[@GBullockNC]

Alec Gargett yeah. You can get credited for anything basically. Picking the sample, chopping it, fading it, I believe Kanye is known to give writing and producing credit just for someone wearing something he decided to reference.

[@jimmydean9602]

Literally sounds like it was made for a westside album lol

[@mr26ix]

he didnt produce anything tho he just knew a loop all he needs to rap, he basically just said aye royce dont do nun else to that im ready to rap

[@jimmydean9602]

I hope westside stays producing/guiding musicians after he retires.

[@MrSLIMO1]

now we need a breakdown for "you gon learn" eminem song that royce produced

[@koreylr]

The drums on that are nuts

[@AndyThaRapperATR]

Mane facts tho

[@2times347]

This is actually the best beat on the album in my opinion.. Such woke holy raw rap feeling to it

[@darkskinwhite]

I wouldn't agree with that but the sample is definitely enough lol. I just wish he would have tuned that snare or sped it up. cause the reflection isn't on time. its art, do whatever yk but just me, that would have bothered me.

[@2times347]

Jeff Trinkle whats your favorite track beat wise

[@darkskinwhite]

@@2times347 mmm. idk I wasn't really paying much attention to the track titles. theres one towards the end (might be the last song actually) that was like a summertime cookout type beat lol and in the first half towards the middle theres a couple songs with features where hes goin all the way in, those ones were ill. oh the one with Benny, the beat on that was dope too.

[@darkskinwhite]

@@2times347 Thou Shall

[@JG-ko3dx]

I love this beat on the album...dopeman is 🔥 too

[@Unxpekted]

This was amazing! I love his artistic vision and execution of it. Considering this is Royce's first produced album he is only going to get better and mature like fine wine. This should be motivation for anyone who thinks its too late to start something they're passionate about.

[@jq8741]

I love seeing the behind the scenes of the creation process, especially with Royce. He is a beast!!!

[@elijahrios191]

Royce lying we know damn well westside said “AYO what’s that?!”

[@AnthonyfromtheD]

Denaun a underrated Producer too!

[@darkskinwhite]

Denaun is like one of the best actually hes made some crazy records. That song he did on the Busta Rhymes album is crazy. & he did Infinite he was only making beats for 6 months but the actual song "Infinite" thats a classic beat to me. On Fire on recovery is hard too, thats one of the better beats on that album, aside from the Dre beat it might be my favorite one,

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

Denaun is lowkey a GOAT producer out here. To me, Stunt 101 is still his best beat ever. So many layers and sounds on that track.

[@AnthonyfromtheD]

@@MichaelBrown-ti1un Damn thats crazy he did that beat lol

[@troykozlowski7795]

Mr.porter

[@GBullockNC]

Y’all ever seen Mr Porter’s Rhythm Roulette on Mass Appeal??? Omg. Best one

[@Bricks_shakur]

This is keeping me alive literally

[@monstalung]

Ghostface has rhymed over straight loops without beats also. I do like how Griselda does that but the producer in me is always waiting to hear the beat drop.

[@robertwashington2161]

The beat drops when royce gets on the mic..

[@robertwashington2161]

My fault. This was put on youtube a week ago.. You probably heard it by now..

[@Grizzletopz]

No drumz is the new Wave, you should mix some fat Boom Bap beatz on some of them

[@cloud3x3]

One of the dopest samples on the album imo.

[@SvgeRose]

My fav from his album tbh shit was good

[@stevonnspencer1908]

I became a fan when this song drop and now explaining it really was dope 💯

[@kruffkurtis1759]

Real ones know that the man in that room with Royce ain't something to look past... Mr.Porter is one of the best in the game!

[@basementbump20]

This shit was dope.I always love the process of behind production especially from my favorite artists.

[@MrTraveller.]

Incredible. Thx 4 explaining the thought process & technical side of how you made the songs for The Allegory. Looking forward to learning how you made all the other songs, as each 1 is so fresh, unique & a work of art. Thx big bro

[@keithventress1672]

Griselda and Royce have magnificent chemistry!

[@mackroman]

So much love for this lesson

I think Gunn was wrong. That piece of sample wasn't enough probably, so it makes the song lil boring, u know what I'm sayin' ?

[@ShahzaibKhan-fx6st]

Felt the same. Royce's part gravitated me more. Gunn part felt lil boring.

Na it was dope.
