[OriginalZero]

who did the vocals for the chorus? i haven't been able to find anything on it..

btw amazing song. from the beat to the rap to the melodic chorus this song throws it at you full force and it really speaks.

[caiomounter]

FL Studio?

[ShortBrownMC]

DANG!! That was amzing!!

[MarqLouieIVI]

[Picks up wine glass]+[Epic drums kick in] = [#Boss]

[EspeshallyWittyTV]

[ZTasOfficial]

damn whats that guitar plugin?

[plod78]

Hahaha! My nigga MdL toastin' it up. Cheers!

[Y3KBeats]

fix up the credits man...you shud get all the credit

[amazo88]

why the hell is that new york song so short? it sounds like its only half of the full song. a good song like that needs to be longer!

[DonishaTaylerMgmt]

can you answer me this one Question and that is: Where do you get your sounds like vst and vsti plug ins

[PhiLosofeeMusic]

what you use to master it? I seen FL for the production, but what you use for the mastering part?

[VladishProduction]

Dude, is this produced by Mike Caren or by you?

[MdLProductions]

@VladishProduction I produced it. Mike Caren is my publisher. there was a mix up with the credits

[VladishProduction]

@MdLProductions Thanks for answering. :) The beat's really cool, very inspirational.

[patkelly111]

Does this dude use fruity loops because if he does hes pretty damn good with it

[OfficialRayD]

This is on B.o.B's new mixtape, and says it is produced by Mike Caren, an A&R for Atlantic Records. What the hell? By the looks of it, this is MDL's beat!!

[musicflowable]

volume of the headphone changes @ 3:45 its not that loud anymore ?????? hmmm

[Y3KBeats]

@musicflowable it was coming out from the laptop speakers

[savegbest440]

[tonejones8]

[maciejszpyra]

[maciejszpyra]

Yeah, she is beautiful. WELL DONE!!

[hc1435]

[hc1435]

[ThruhSeekers]

It's Asus G51 laptop

[ccmicoman]

i hate the feeling when you play a track for someone and you just wanna stop it cuz you think that theyr getting bored

[MistaMase102]

@ccmicoman so true man lolll i know the feelin.

[TheSoundDoctors]

@ccmicoman right!!

[Charieldeleon]

yo swear to god that nikka has a hidden speaker some where lol shout out to the nikka mdl doing his thing

[teer0y]

I love those strings! Download link? I neeed those sounds!

[spokdck]

PEOPLE!!! the sound is from the headphones when he plays the parts individually,when he plays the full song he just adds in the actual version when he was editing the video.

[saintsbruh]

i am blessed to have been mentored in the late 80's by a multi MULTI platinum selling and GAME CHANGING hip hop producer.. all this new tech gear syncing with software will make my workflow ridiculously fast... yes.. it is I.. ur tracks are subpar... u have been warned.. (i write this as i look down at my laptop, new Reason 5 and Akai MPK 49) .. ENJOY ur minor fame & fortune while u can... take care young one.. ur master has awaken.. the south will rise again soon.. respect the dirty dirty

[kingstreetPK]

@saintsbruh @this dude thinking he the shit. bruh he's just a young modern producer working hard to establish a name for himself in this industry, what has he done to you for you to hate on him?, besides ive never heard of you before, and im curioous to know who this "game Changer" producer is. MDL, IS A GAME CHANGER PERIOD STOP HATIN

[DJJASONPRODUCER]

@saintsbruh who was ur mentored?

[saintsbruh]

so... let me ask u a question.. the industry really thinks u r talented? no offense, but i could remake n shit that track out in 7 hours or less, no exaggerating.. i guess the industry is desperate for beats.. surprise young one, here speaks a vet coming out of retirement.. i was forced after Hurricane Katrina after losing all my equipment & half my mind.. lol... beware.. ur work is about to slow down.

[Felnuts]

anyone else wondering how the fuck a pair of headphones sounds like monitors?

[MojoSoDope7]

When the song starts is that really just through the headphones? Cause thats pretty fucking cool if it is

[migevil102]

did you mix and mastered it on fl too or did you use a different program?

[YoungWhite01]

what's your gamer tag ?

[candystrike17]

0:14 that is my fuckin boy son!

[Fr3shSince87]

I've Watch Quite A Few Of Your Videos From 08' To Now And I Noticed You Used The Motu Traveler In Your Home Studio And You Have Another Motu Interface In This Video. So My Question Is Would You Recommend The MOTU 896mk3 FireWire Audio Interface For A Home Studio?

[PdubzCrew]

its hard making hip hop beats out of cubase...so much easier to use fl studio. but its dope to see how you use cubase for mixing and mastering and vocals

[djkevinc]

What laptop do you have please?

[phi1s0n]

Eminem for Black ops

Linkin park for Medal of Honor

[Clubgeist]

Why do you look like Shia Labeouf ? :D

[Scatmandak]

yall r fuckin dumb if u thin the sound is coming out of those headphones

[SinisterFlames]

@Scatmandak You yourself are fucking dumb mister... He said it himself...

[GwenDUff]

oh shit nucka.. I been wit girls like that before .. 2 words for you my talented, wealthy friend:

Prenuptial Agreement

[screamsinfamous]

by the way this game fucking sucks

[k1dpoison]

@screamsinfamous why?

[screamsinfamous]

@k1dpoison there is way too much bullshit like invisibility

[cortezforever]

Hi, When you sent music to mike at Atlantic did you need a lawyer?

[sanderxdxd]

I just love these drums.

I tried to reproduce them but its just imposible for me

[juniwilliams]

your girls fit as fuck bruv

[Bregtvanneuville]

Nice beat !

I heard it already in Belgium( Europe, Brussels)!

The vocacls of B.O.B. are really great.

Please check out my beats if you want to.

Thanks ;)

[DavidakaChronic]

Can you make the stems available for download? Those pianos are awesome to sample

[PdubzCrew]

@TheDigitalReviewer

He uses Fl studio to make beats, and Cubase for recording/mixing/master

If you have a mac you probably want to use Logic Pro.

[spokdck]

People HAVE to know that the first time he played the track it was the actual song played over the video done in editing??if not i feel sorry for you xD AMAZING beat man,been following your vids for as long as you`ve been doin them haha Your cops up remix is still one of my favourite tracks!

[raybbo]

Dude! i want those drum samples, where did you get them? :D

[07yondaime]

[PATHERAPBEAST]

[jcI2I]

1:53

[MyQUILLEN]

[xhimiz14]

@3:00 ...when the the chorus begins...i think it really needs a distorted guitar... i don't know but that was just what i felt coming!

[PdubzCrew]

Does anyone know what VST can produce a pad like the one used here...everytime I get a vst for pad they sound like some weird alien thing LOl

[ale21ht]

[ChrisTheKlassmate]

[iBeOnkey]

[TheHmo0b]

Those ATH M50 headphones are loud as fuck.

[aiagent]

[wullfeguru]

Yo wtf is this shit? This has nothing to do with anything. Stop dickriding other peoples hard work you lazy mofo.

[mrwright909]

[sebbye12]

[RompYa]

"towers are falling, bridges are crumbling"

[Tehgreenerlantern]

do you guys enjoy voss water? i actually live in norway ! :D (voss water is made in voss, norway)

[altairpredalien]

very interesting. keep it on

[chubbyswgates]

The beat is ill the hook is dope but not filling B.O.B over the beat. keep the music comming. your beats are SICK!

[duckotaco]

Ok, so that's why composition in games, advertising, trailers and the sorts today is a joke.

It's made by KIDS. 

[khdalamoudi]

@duckotaco it's a good thing, talent sees no age. art should not be for the old elite, it should be for whoever knows how to tame it; how to use it.

[kingstreetPK]

@duckotaco in all honesty you're really ignorant. talent and hard work doesnt have an age

[Evsondey]

@MdLProductions could you go into more detail on the drums. Like is it mostly just the sampling of a pre recorded break or what?

[JohnDiceMusic]

@MdLProductions Will you or universal be releasing the instrumental version anytime soon?

[johnwilliamhurley]

Im happy to see someone doing big music is posting video's, I'd like to meet you one day because ive got an amagitive mind and you could show me tips on things and my music.

[vectoronic]

FL studio FTW!~

[TheDJSTALKER]

[freylauren]

I didn't realize people actually used the step sequencer any more ;-)

[doublephantom2]

what sounds did you use for those drums

[homerboy77]

what's the name of the song, i would like to hear the full version :D

[MrMrSteveC]

Killin It!

[iNtoxicatedLies]

HOLD ON, THEYRE MAXED. o_o... Where do you get those from?!?!

[d7ade]

It's not going to sound the best? It sounded freaking awesome!

[Duffm4yne]

i changed that alex da kid mistake on wiki for ya bro

[warriorbasketball23]

Can you make me some Kool Aid?

[BrandonRhysBeatz]

or did you mix and master the track?

[MdLProductions]

@BrandonRhysBeatz No I produced it. Alex da kid did not.

[wlpbe16]

proof it

[MdLProductions]

@BrandonRhysBeatz No I produced it. And Alicia Keys isn't on the hook.

[AmH032uTuBe]

@MdLProductions I saw Crytek were linking on Twitter a 160kbps version of the main master (with the vocals, of course :P)

But is it possible to pick up a 320kbps or a lossless version anywhere, legally and free? (I'll pay if need be).

The 160kbps sounds awful.

[thermal868]

@MdLProductions I mastered the Crysis 2, who is on the hook then, I thought It was Alicia two. Nice job.

[BrandonRhysBeatz]

you did it? when i look at youtube it says it was produced by alex da kid.

[Silverblood9]

Woah... How loud are those headphones?

[thewb39]

those headphones did a great job as your stereo system lol. wowzer. great track as always of course.

[CheesePlow]

Sounds nice... And as one sound designer to another, I indeed respect your work... but for the love of God and all that is holy, can a modern day composer PLEASE come up with a different chord progression???!!!

[suckinfycho]

You look like the kid from Sex Drive...

[NikitaPurii]

@suckinfycho That's what I thought haha

[TheFilthyGrime]

sorry can someone tell me what does MDL actually do to the song, like does he produce it? not hatin or nuthing cus this is a sick song

[sleepersoundstudio]

@TheFilthyGrime from the video looks like he wrote it from scratch in fruity loops studio, then got the rapper to come in and lay down the vocals in cubase and he mixed it after that

[xXSweetAsHoneyXx]

This is a beautiful instrumental

[prithvi1995]

Isn't anyone going to aks him for the FLP? :P

[TMPsYcHoTiC]

That sing us fuckin tight as hell and the launch trailer for crysis 2 is sick

[grant747]

Finally a instrumental version!

[djhep1232]

He Kills Everything......He Worked Hard To Get Where He Is And I'm Happy for Him He Deserves it all plus more!

[Zabroda92]

Wow your girlfriend really is beautiful. Even stoned :D

[schwetzbeatz]

[Fanariii]

Man you are baked !

[Takers07253]

[TheTimeWastedOnline]

DAAAAMMNN!!

[Millahtime]

Whoooa lol I didn't even realize you did this song....I've been seeing the commercial a ton recently and been hearing the track, I really didn't even know you did it. Congrats man

[EspeshallyWittyTV]

can you make a tutorial on how to make drums like that?

[DJDangerBeatz]

@EspeshallyWittyTV i believe he used a drum loop

[plod78]

Yo MdL quick question, what sound card are you running there for your mobile setup? I'm going to be getting one soon and would like your opinion on what's good. Thanks man.

[187onaPigeon]

What was you gamertag again, I'm sure you said it once. Or I'm totally wrong.

FUCKING great. I still remember the day finding you on YouTube. And now you are here, at this point. That's great.

[Chewo0]

i wish i have all those vst and drum samples...

[DJDangerBeatz]

@Chewo0 you know something if u did it desent make u good cause u know it the way u use them you can have the best sound in the world but if u dont how to use them then is pointless start small then big learn learn learn

[methbeatz]

@Chewo0 do you know what vsts he even uses?

[sanderxdxd]

That beat sounds so cool. I have been trying to recreate it but i just cant get it sound right. Great work

[nuthinbutbusiness]

sum1 know what version of FL he's using ? I got FL 9 but it doesnt look like that, thx in advance...

[PdubzCrew]

@nuthinbutbusiness

I'm pretty sure its FL9 lol he don't put his beats in the pattern he would of put them in track 1 track 2 etc

[FlowTraceur]

Nice ;] Still i wonder if any music producers in the US are actually open to EDM ? Most of you American's produce Rock/Metal/Hip-hop . Kind of a VERRYY minimal choice . You people should look up into more genres ! Anyway , good luck !

[DirekoSeattle]

mdl u are dead now! i promote u on all my social networks! :D

[EDDIEinWAR]

where can i find/download this instrumental version?

please if you know, let me know.

:)

[davdcl499]

Wow. People are STILL trying to defend and stick up for FL Studio? SHUT THE FUCK UP! I don't use FL, but yes, it is a full fledged, flagship DAW. Stop defending what damn program you make music with! If it sounds good, use it. I'm sick of this argument!

[MKayMusic1]

@davdcl499 You soooo fucking right...

[GETSomeTV]

Just saw the commercial for Crysis 2. Very nice work kid!!

[casualtybeats]

that song is absolute crap bob needs to me shot on site for that lame idea for a pointless song hope you made some money cuz that's all its about i know im not buying the crappy game with a crappy lame remake of a decent song

[TheeUrbanGentleman]

@casualtybeats Lol. umad?

[VAFloris]

B.o.B - NY NY

[lancsno1]

[TriniumBeats]

[xFroZeNbLadE]

[BigDproductions10]

@xFroZeNbLadE Fl Studio

[ralfiasz]

Congratulations and greetings from Poland! Keep it up! You've simply made this trailer epic!

[MrMisaac]

[drkshdw7]

Damn, I hope sometime soon I'm as good with making music and using FL Studio as you! Good work, keep it up!

[MickeyMontz]

Wow, B.o.B? Haha that's huge man. The beat is just immense think I came in my pants when listening.

One day I hope I'll be just as good as you ;) until then, peace keep doing what you do MDL!!

[DoomEternal]

This song should have been the song that plays when you're in the menus for the game.

Personally, I think it's better than the orchestrated song that's currently in the game's menus.

[IIMinatoUzumakiII]

0:13 DUE TO THE ENVIRONMENT

[dnufilms]

Can you release the instrumental for the song?

[No1snYpeslikme]

Heard this on the commercial the other day! Grats MdL!
