Life of a Producer: A Documentary

[irinescovici]

please tell me the name of the song at 1:40

[MRDONNY2]

Well the wonder years finally drops next month and this vid is mad old and the sad part is that he took out the beat at the start of the vid and at the end and I've waited to hear that beat for a long time he never even leaked it so disappointed

[KoolKatBeatz]

i been waition on this a hot minute!!!

when is it comin out, unless i been slow n its already out.....

i mean C'MON NAAAAASSS!!!



[staffon5]

omg what is that song at the end of the video?

[Warren1232]

what song is that at 1:40??

[helto87]

whats the name of that king floyd song woow



[loopn3rd]

9TH AND GURU HIT IT ON THE NAIL SAMPLES ALL DAY!!

[MRDONNY2]

It's really damn sad that 9th wonder never leaked or released the jam at the end of the vid with lost boys : (

[love40five]

the reason vinyl sounds better is because the grooves on vinyl are wide and hold alot more information and the needle goes directly on the recorded music as opposed to a cd that a laser reads the music . that is why you can muffle a sample and get so much bass out of it and your kicks are hard and heavy, snares are tight and cracking, and hi hats are crispy !

[ColdGripHandle]

Man I want to hear that last song with the lost boys

[bxthug1]

@ColdGripHandle HELL YEAH! I THINK THAT IS THE HARDEST BEAT HIM..

[jussvicious]

I could not agree with YG more on having game handed down to you. I've been djaying since 84' and nobody ever taught me a damn thang but I learned from listening to catz like Jazzy Jeff and Magic Mike from the tru sku era. Now I feel like master Yoda or IP man passin' the dj game down to the new era of crowd rockaz.

[MrDeltroid]

Anybody know that song @ 4:33?

That beat is amazing.

[o0EPITOME0o]

The Fuck?

How The Hell Did He Not Know Who King Floyd Is?

I Lost A Little Respect For 9th Wonder

[MRVISDOME]

where is the store

[blakelamirandmusic]

I NEED TO GO TO THAT PLACE!

[RobertCamps]

that first joint what is it? trey songz gots a track called pretty brown eyes its dop tho

[illone1981]

Beats by Wallace Green

Mint Condition, Steady Diggin

[obiozor1]

anybody know where to get that heartbreak cd the guy was talking about with the soul samples on it?

[lordoid]

Not only that MP3s sound like shit and you get more shit when you sample them...But what is more important is your position as a producer / artist. It has to do with the culture of dance music / hip hop production. If you use vinyl or other anlogue equipment - it's a statement. Not only about your knowledge of (good) sound but also your way of creating your "art". Your music is more then just sounds arranged in time...There is always the person behind it.

[TheZay916]

i just have a vinyl sound effect i use in fl studio.

[funkyfriedninjamonk]

@TheZay916 Crackle is one thing but warmth is another. Like sampling records in an 3000 just has a distinctive warmth that you just can't eq to match. Just typing. No biggie.

[TheZay916]

@funkyfriedninjamonk ok cool. as im typing this im sampling a record. lol. this guy gave us 500 records for $40

[Dnice2197]

2:10 whats the name of that song shat shit is crazy somebody out there know the name of that joint!

[SOONSTRUMENTALS]

@Dnice2197 sidney joe quails - how can you say good bye

[RYAKINRIP]

Philly yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

[RizMusic1]

I feel 9th on this one, everything he was saying about sampling and things of that nature.

[subwayfan68]

Nasty snare on 4:31.........DAMN!

[Seven9ine]

Haha 9th totally put the murs album in the wrong spot!!

[zielcok]

what song iz in 0:20-0:26 any1 know ??

[BEATBANGGAHZ]

dope!

[Rasepreme]

peace. the mp3 is a format of music is striped of depth in order to shrink the size of the file. when you convert a file to mp3 or sample from mp3 vs wav you loss sound. yet the ear is the most important too and can make music out of ANY sound

[NezioTheGreat89]

yoooooooooo dat mix on pretty brown eyes waz sick u gotta upload that

[DZA9mm]

AYOO!!! Dilla Sampled That King FLOYD joint haha

[SMH12289]

9th said on his twitter page like a month ago he was gonna leak that track at the end with Mr. Cheeks on it but he never did.....or he did and I juts havent heard it

[bigbigsound]

to the folk discussing sampling from mp3's....

it should be the last option only....

it should be vinyl only really...

also mp3s sound shit

[RAAB0601]

yea i need to find out the name of that song at teh end. dope

[dtraxxtv1]

What is the name of that song at the end!

[arvidarcher]

Well mp3 sound is poor.

Especially the dynamics.

But if you can't hear the difference, good for you!

Makes quick and superficial consumption easier.

[kylancade2k2]

anyone know where to find or buy the cd the white guy spoke of in the video to 9th Wonder, i believe he said the title of the cd was HEARTBREAKS or something, can anyone help...???

[Alkemy007]

Jesus...that white dude knows his stuff, I mean, he's showing 9th Wonder tracks...I love them old soul records.

[200crates]

i agree with musklianis , sampling of cd's is wack , sampling off mp3's is even worse . no class !

[SunnyGotBeats]

I dOES tHAT hAHAAAAAAAA sTOP HATING W/E WORKS

[NYSecond]

Come on man, MP3/Digital is the new age. We must move on from the old and on to the new. If a beatmaker uses an MP3 and makes a hot beat with it, who cares if it was a vinyl or mp3 sample...

[LKSkre]

@NYSecond i really dont agree with you because you just dont get the soul of a record when you use an MP3,

as opposed to using vinyl. i sample everything out of vinyl because of that.

[NYSecond]

@LKSkre How is that so? What because you digged a few crates and found a dusty sample that makes you feel the soul more? Don't be an elitist bro.

[LKSkre]

haha you think im an elitist for taking the goddamn time to go around all the secondhand stores and find a record to sample, thus costing me my hard earned cash? come on man, get your facts straight.

in my opinion nothing beats the sound of vinyl, and i really believe that beats are more beautiful when they are sampled of a vinyl record. you just see samples differently with the cracks and the warm sound.

greetings from holland :)

[NYSecond]

@LKSkre So you here the crackling noise. Wow. That does not make a beat better, it just gives it that dirty sound that for some reason everyone seems to be obsessed with, still.

[LKSkre]

You just don't get it do you?

[NYSecond]

@LKSkre No, I get it. You like crackling noises from the old dusty record. Shit, producers put their own crackling noises on CLEAN records. Its a certain feel that some people like, some people don't. Chill out, I know what you're saying.`

[oregonUofOducks]

@NYSecond the point is that if you dig, you can find new records to sample much easier than if you download mp3s. you can download albums that people say are hot or have already sampled but it takes a little bit of creativity out of it and makes it harder to develop your own sound. it's not that big a deal but it takes that much creativity out of it which we need more of, not less of in this day and age. suck a nutsack.

[ec17is]

@LKSkre

You get a warm sound,

kinda nostalgic and pleasant feeling,

it feels like home to me:P

[droach1985]

@LKSkre those who cant hear the difference in vinyl and digital just dont have the ear.

[SouthOx]

@LKSkre Word. Nothing like record shopping. Especially when you guess what might have some dope stuff on it and it does. There is no better feeling then creating your own beat 100% from vinyl you dug yourself. I mean every kick, hat, snare. Vinyl is the backbone and essence of Hip Hop. Vinyl was there from the birth. Its all about the ear. The kids coming up now, its cool that they have interest in the art, but your missing out on a big piece of the culture if you dont d.i.t.c

[Boooooooooka]

@SouthOx Yeah man I squeeze every last bit out of my records!

[AnUnlimitedRecord]

@LKSkre

I don't have a record player =[

[DDeDokter]

@LKSkre You get the soul out of it when you record your vinyl trough your line in, to mp3.

[LKSkre]

haha almost true. then i get wav.

[DDeDokter]

@LKSkre Yea I know, it was a little joke lol

[bxthug1]

OMG that 9th track at the end is crazy that beat is bananazz.

[LEGSUDESIRE]

[memoricalbanks]

People make negative comments about 9th, but

he's where he is and you are where you are;

making comments on a gotdamn blog. If his sh*t

[058Indo]

anyone know the song at 1 : 42?

[VULGARIS1901]

yeah indeed,lookin for it..decoded that the cd is called heartbreak..but whats the artist?

[musklianis]

And Then Instead Of Buying The Record He Gets The Guy To Make Him A CD Of. This Fools A Shame To The Game.

[phossel]

ur a lame ass fu wut u know about makin beats ne way hes just staying open minded 2 more music thats how it is u gotta be open 2 almost anything n not every1 is going 2 know know all music has got 2 offer so its always gonna b new 2 sum...plus just look at what 9th has accomplished by the MANY albums he's produced from LITTLE BROTHER to MURS as shown here but im just putting it out there to help u undersdtand since u wanna hate on one of the greatest producers in HIP HOP

[musklianis]

I Know Plenty About Hip Hop Son, I Never Said A Word About His beats Being Lame. I Love 9th Beats, But He Is Not A Traditional Beat Maker. I Took Offense When He Said That. Traditional Hip Hop Aint 9th Wonder. Sampling Mp3 Isn't Traditional. Using A Lap Top To Make Beats Aint Either. I'm Sure You Can Agree With That. I Dont HAve AnyThing Against Using Frutyloops, BUT IF YOU DO, KEEP THE WORD TRADITIONAL BEAT MAKER OUT OF YOUR MOUTH

[phossel]

aiight homie u just went out alittle too hard on 9th's ideas of beatmaking \..plus i never said i had a prob wit any type of beatmaking homie i can listen to anything n get into SUMTHING at least but yah aint no point in arguing as long as we know wutz up wit real hip hop RIGHT!!!!

[Kingjames313]

It's a "traditional" Hip-Hop sound, if he didn't tell you he used fruity loops, then you'd think he used old school tools too. Of course he's a "traditional" beatmaker, doesn't matter that he went high tech to do it fam, get over it. You're stereotyping with that comment if you think new technology=non traditional if the outcome is still the same sound and vibe.

[musklianis]

9Th Wonder Should Be Ashamed. CAlling Himself A traditional beatMaker. Real Beat Makers Dont Go To Record Store Owners And Ask To Hear Whats Good. A True Beat Head Would Want To Scope The Records On The Low, Buy Shit You Dont Know Just Because Of What Label Its Is On, Or Because Who Arranged. This Guy From The Played "King Floyd" And 9th Didn't Know Who It Was. How The Fuck Does a Veteran Producer, Who Uses All Kind Of Soul Samples Not Know King Floyd.

[dankpurple]

stop being a hater. ur nowhere near him

[punchlinerhymez]

what song is that at 0.19?

[showmevideo5]

at 1:00 dilla flipped that

[montanaboy99]

[psyensou]

This is ill!! 9th's a king in my eyes. Good thing i fell back into music, gotta alotta catchin up to do and this documentary right here looks really good too. ive got mad love for true skool!

9th being oldskool: let him. cats do what they feel is right and they are the ones that make the best stuff. the followers cant catch up and whine. i respect him big time. he inspires me to go diggin in music history and my mind's so split up i wanna go 8 directions with my music at once. pz

[suomra919]

"Pretty Brown Eyes" mint condition is the first beat you heard, 9th IS the TRUTH, behind "Premo" of course! PEACE

[hockaday23]

*Question: Would you buy this if it was a DVD with more exclusive footage? Thanks for your support! Peace

[darkzepher]

i would...

[agilliam1018]

Hey Brittany,

You did an excellent job with the DVD, I'm a huge 9th fan and like him, I'm attached to soul music as well I would by any work that 9th is apart of because in my opinion he's the best in the business right now,

[romeash]

9th is olskool, hes used to cuttin records, so i doubt he'd change his style, n start downloading like us. At the same time u gotta respect his classic ways, hes still making mad beats

[ayoforreal]

is the song at the end with cheeks out yet?

[mikeygeneral]

I cant believe dudes still go to record stores! LMAO

Every record on the face of this planet is on the site that i go to, Its the same one that kanye goes to. And it's all free music. This is retarded! LMAO

I used to waste crazy money on records and they took up sooo much space in the crib. Now i download albums of WHOEVER i want in seconds for totally free. Its amazing how much guys i see with deals that do this crazy shit!

[hustlaave]

I wish there was a record store in north-central Florida. It's sad.

[chickenwang4]

where

[mikeygeneral]

You kidding me right - Sorry duke. I can't help you with that.

But keep in mind that most producers go to a certain website and download albums allday. Its crazy how i see dudes like 9th wonder who don't know about this shit!

[chickenwang4]

so u guys dnt knw the website cs i usually jus look at kanye's samples credit n sample allthe awkward soundn stuff frm the artist

[mikeygeneral]

Naaa i can't release that type of information duke.Just search the net. It took me 4 years to find that shit and i overheard a conversation with Kanye and Pharrel where he mentions the site and i went straight home and found the site. Now i'm sitting pretty. I gave all my records away and baught a 500G hardrive. Every album and software on the face of this earth is on that site and and software too. I laugh at 9th wonder yo!

Sorry son,but i just can't release that.

[mufongo]

you're an idiot..

ps..

fuck kanye and pharrel..

DITC ALL DAY!

[GoodTimesWade]

kanye actually puts in work on his tracks, thats why ai appreciate him, i dont giva shit about pharrell

[infamuzblayze]

[grrrfield]
