[@sofboiquiet]

usually that’s the reason they’re a youtuber and not a producer

[@BeachLookingGuy]

Clearly it doesn’t take a “good artist” to make a popular song. Seems like any generic trash pops off these days. All his songs are pretty garbage.

[@KenkBeats]

When i first heard his beats started to blow, i was like..Damn i wanted this era to come back, his beats so simple but so hard hitting on the drums side... Also his tagg is the best in the industry

[@jgwmain]

Great analysis KXVI. For a long time, I’ve wondered what exactly Tay Keith did to make his beats bounce better than anyone. Tay Keith is a wizard when it comes to attenuating the low ends in his productions therefore adding just the right level of bass while it hits hard asf at the same time.

I’m saying half of these producers are up there because of their rapper tag and networking. Build your brand after you have developed your sound and you’ll be right up there with them.

[@heavychriss]

You really studied his sound ❤

[@DarkGloComics]

Secrets, no explanations, figure it out: - Timebase: 24 - 808's not necessary if your bass has sub & a little distortion - @9:03 It's called layering drums, kicks in this case - One more secret to that, but find it on your own. Getting lots of placements isn't the definition of a "Super Producer". That's not hate, that's being literal. Watch 'in the studio' videos of Dre, DJ Quik, and Neptunes to name a few and see the difference.

am I trippin? I just cannot hear what makes these beats so special.

[@SuperDuperSeb]

Yeah they’re mid tbh

[@BeachLookingGuy]

No you’re not. The people that listen to any of this type of rap have no standard for music. Nothing about any of these beats is unique or special. It’s the most basic beats that people have been producing for over a decade. All the rappers and songs mentioned in this video are trash.

[@coatrak1357]

​@@BeachLookingGuyok lol

[@BeachLookingGuy]

@@coatrak1357 have you ever produced music before? I’ve been fiddling with hip hop and edm production since 2008. None of this is new or special. Professional dubstep and trap edm producers blow this garbage out of the water

[@dhonkeypunch]

These type of beats takes Max 20 minutes to create. The rappers spitting shit on this are not looking for advanced professional beats, they just aim for free/cheap beats that are way too over hyped

[@SurprisedSynth88]

I was always taught the hats should be going into the mixer louder than everything else. Kick volume should match the progression and melody and snare should be able to sit in there clean and crisp

1. Catchy Bassline 2. low bass piano following the bassline 3. Bell counter melody 4. topline piano melody 5. dark ambient strings 6. change up the bassline (low bass --> high bass/switch the midi) 7. Record a simple, catchy chant, layer it all as if its a block party Drums: 8. Simple loud hihats, 16th rolls 9. Electronic like slap snare, 16th rolls 10. open hat when energy should be higher 11. Kick, not aggressive 808 12. Unique riser
