Madlib - Understanding (Comprehension)

[DCgreenery]

Madlib is a musical geunius.

i have bought a lot of his records, and he is definitley one of the best producers/musicians of all time.

He and Dilla are simply untouchable.

[horphy]

Ripped and chopped it quite nice, so much talent.

[eatsrappers]

haha is it just me or does q-tip jack madlib and dilla's samples

[FINbball]

@eatsrappers hell yeah! Read somewhere that some bullshit magazine had Tip as the only producer/rapper on their top beat-makers list. That means that for example RZA, J Dilla and Pete Rock are not on the list. And what kind of bullshit is that?

[eatsrappers]

@FINbball thats ridiculous

[ZTallant90]

this my favorite beat konducta 1 and 2... the indian one i own but dont feel it at all!!! anyone feel me?? like some are hype but it just sounds like madlib went to india and tripped acid and made alot of noise. dont get me wrong

[ZTallant90]

ANYONE KNOW "SAY WORD" ????? CAROLINA REPP

[iammrhappy12]

ima listen to this until this shit gets more views than Rebecca Black's bullshit Friday song.

[jamafrican657]

[FINbball]

[Munoz783]

If anyone's that curious the vocal sample is Black Ivory's Our Future. I have a 45 with both samples :D

[PsychWax]

sp 303 has a nice compressor for your drums thats why madlibs drums sound so hard.

[immasuperninja]

@PsychWax he mainly uses the sp 606 now

[SVLocksmith]

"now watch yo mouth nigga!" hahaha

[flamnjon6969]

Only negative thing about thbis track...too short! Beats fa life.

[pong224]

Black Ivory.

[godofkhan7]

[THEDJPADDYP]

Forget today's Ice cube,Madlib/Premier/Jay dee/and oh no are the realist hip hop of 2010!

[derekchangeagent]

Oh em gee! Madlib shredded this! 

[TheSneakafellaz]

This guy is a genius.

[pinkpikachu5500]

[whatevrthefuck1]

madlib and nujabes= favorite dj's/producers

[kingmarco4]

dilla had two beats on the q tip album. one cums in about 2 and a half minutes into the rennaisance song i believe. its a hidden track.

[jy1723]

Fav track of all time at this moment (sorry Dilla) "AT THIS MOMENT"

[AR15SHOTS2U]

@jy1723 lol I know riiight!

[drummer01k]

Q-tip murders this sample but madlib digs the grave and kills it

[eddiethepurpledolphi]

sounds like gettin up by q-tip haha did he sample this or whut

[PrestigiousP]

Where can I find qtips version I wanna listen to it but can't seem to find it.. Someone help me out!!!!

[AROnE87]

great producer, wish he had real artist rapping on his beats not no doom or any other of those bums.

[JamieBarnes11]

Madlib Kills this sample. Dope dope dope

[MISTERAMES]

i wish this was longer.

[yellowtracs]

J Dilla flipped this much better for Q-tip

[ElFuego121]

Actually I think Q-Tip made the beat himself

[yellowtracs]

@ElFuego121 Yup you're right Q-Tip Did it..lol

[TheBlackMoose]

@yellowtracs I thought Q-Tip made the beat himself?

[freemanhubbard]

@TheBlackMoose he did. The only Dilla beat to my knowledge is Move on Q-Tip's The Renaissance.

[19viECh81]

mmh Madlib.... always one of my All-Time-Favs :D

0:40 - 0:41 impossible nice skillz O_O'

Also i agreed w/ anyone of u before commenters i gave u all thumbs up u all seem dope also bros :D

[Munoz783]

[Munoz783]

[caebinmcrome]

great sample

peace madlib

[venone05]

q-tip killed this beat. thanks madlib, your a champ man. love your beautifully inspirational .instrumentals?

[Phazeey]

@venone05 This is actually a different beat than Tips. Same Sample though. Tips is "Gettin Up."

[07stuntmaster]

i wish this song was just a min and a half longer, haha i love it

[basharatt]

sick !!! does anyone know the sample thanks

[mfsyke]

black ivory - you and i

[basharatt]

[bigwylie]

qtip sampled this as well madlib dilla tip and oh no as well as the originals dre and preemo are my fave producers

[revnardintheplace]

Yall should check out the remix I made with this beat!!!! Peace to Stones Throw Madlib Forever!!!!!!!

[badegg3210]

Madlib is amazing, and Beat Conducta 1+2 is something I play over and over; Longevity!

This is one of the best tunes on it :-)

[sofocused978]

the bass, the snares, the horn, the keys, the sample ooooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeee

[medddOk]

encore un putain de son!! à fond!!!!!

[ArtiqbForever]

shit

[loopn3rd]

wow madlib! thank god 4 you tube! shit jus hypnotize me i smoke trees but dam the sounds n course line had me n anotha galaxy!

[dirtbikedouglas]

i have an understanding that this music is fantastic

[outlaw36]

damn bro! you're killing me!! absolutely outstanding!! long live Madlib!!!

[rubberducky1997]

Jesus christ My life just flashed before my eyes.

[shogunex4]

yo I use to play this everyday before and after school to releive stress. this is my jam.

[tjsilvestri]

this was one of the first madlib tracks i heard, after that shits history, one of my fav beat makers producers next to dilla, n doom

[jkgr33]

i couldn't agree with you more, this album was the 1st madlib I heard and i knew instantly that i would have a collection of beat konductas' growing for the rest of my life!

[1BlaK99]

@tjsilvestri i personally categorize those same three together cuz they gotta knack for that real soulful shit that no one else hears.

[PureKush707]

@tjsilvestri No rjd2

[RotaryPoweredDick]

@tjsilvestri Doom's beats come from this young fella...

[charlyblues]

@RotaryPoweredDick doom also makes beats young fella

[RotaryPoweredDick]

@charlyblues kinda figured that, but again figured his beats sounded identicle to madlibs, hence. good to know..

[tensorreaper666]

@RotaryPoweredDick

dooms beats are recognizable by the drums, a lot arent well polished warm and natural sounding like madlib like AS IF doom worked out of FL studio and madlib does it all on analog recordings

[AEROSOL2IGNKRUE]

@tensorreaper666 they use the same things. but doom isnt all that good. he has some drums but the key to his beats are the samples he uses, they are hard to find. but he doesnt do anything to them. he finds a loop and puts it on the beat. its only occasional that he chopps something up. but madlib runs his beats through a roland sp 303. it has a vinyl effect witch desaturates the beat and brings up the lows while drowning the highs. but madlib has got chops and his vonyl is rare.

[Lucanio]

@AEROSOL2IGNKRUE It's not a "vinyl effect" on the sp 303. He just samples from vinyl.

[AEROSOL2IGNKRUE]

@Lucanio bruh even if you sampled from vinyl u wouldnt get that effect. he uses the 303 in most beats.i admit u do get static from vinyl but you dont get tone effects like that. what the 303 does is bring up low tonesand mix the highs into one mid range sound. the rest is just mastering finishes.

no disrespect to you sir. by all means:) i got to spend some time with the dude i got a chance to study basicswhich is some portable turntable out>MPC2500(orSp1200)>SP303>MI­XER =HIGHLAND PARK!!!

[tjsilvestri]

@RotaryPoweredDick madvillainy stays playin

[shatfoo]

qtip-gettin up

[Loco4Loko]

q-tip jocked on this dont give him no recognition

[FlonnyJynn]

booo

[ScandiHipHop]

LOL, Dilla made that flip for Tip.

[hjlphilp]

dude

Madlib use of sample>Q-Tip's beatmaker's use of same sample

[OLdSCHOOLRAdiOHEAd]

not qtip

qtip sampled it too

its from black ivory's song

"you and i"

[joopq]

@OLdSCHOOLRAdiOHEAd yeah q tip sampled it too but madlib flipped it better in my opinion. i think he visuallizes what he wants it to sound lik instead of trying to make it sound hip hop...you know? but it comes out sounding hip hop cuz hes got that ear like that

[revolutionary209]

Q-TIP song.. i forgot which one...

[Bscientist]

great

[killarmy101]

i wish ther was a high hat goin wit this but still grat

[cdavidcunningham]

any one know what the melody for this is sampled from?

[arodcar]

Black Ivory

[pastpresentdilla]

Fucking amazing.

[ghostface411]

dope shit

[CharlieWallace02]

0:19 - Q-Tip 'Getting Up'??????

[madfacet]

Its Black ivory "you and i" great tune, Q-Tip sampled it to perfection

[83BigRed83]

Yeah, they both samples Black ivory "You and I"

[Scathe8000]

Madlib, J Dilla, Dr. Dre, DJ Premier my top producers of all time

[brichbombin]

I agree they're all good producers. Also 9th Wonder and Kan Kick are both really good producers. You should also check out Edan, if you don't already know who he is. He's a good producer, DJ, and MC

[Scathe8000]

oh yeah i heard an Edan remix few years back it was hot. 9th wonder's definitely in my top 20 (did you know he makes the beats for the boondocks show?), but i gotta check kan kick i never heard of the dude

[arodcar]

Pete Rock??

[Scathe8000]

Pete Rock too

[younglotes]

dope!

[bizy27]

*_I awake to an A-HA moment, I'm free from torment, I'm back and focused/ I peek thru the blinds to see the world anew, like how homie took the track and flipped it chopped and screwed/ it's like we took off in a rocket headed for Mars, but we messed up the controls and tried to follow the stars/ upset and apart, we're at the moon crash landing... I get it now, I've got an under-stand-ding/-

[huggiebear101]

ok he was good but should have finish it, but it sounds good

[stellarchordz]

Madlib x Dam Funk would be the business!

[wilsola]

someone needs to rhyme on this...

[dalygirard]

Medaphore - Understanding- not bad

[jsoul99]

SO SIMPLE YET....SO EFFECTIVE

[TexuusBoy]

"now watch yo mouth nigga" lol!!!

[adrianvasco1]

love this song!!!!!!!

[WaterFam4]

Everybody act the same ole same/ but when christ come back everybody wanna change/ so father forgive them 4 what they do /show them the light n seek just them through/ cause they violent on the block n livin wit one eye like a cycylops/ i pray that they understanding is more focus on u cause they livin in slow motion like chopped n screwed/

[treasurefortune]

absolutely amazing

[killarmy101]

wish this song was longer!!

[tyneebi99z]

Understanding discernment & wisdom/ what all 3 have in common? view 2 the Kingdom/ Come-now take a seat young grasshopper/ listen up while i brake u off somethin proper/ my raps full of fact & knowledge like proverbs/ please consider my words lyrical herbs/ (here some food 4 thought): yo- there's a saying that life=love & theres a thin line between love-hate/ so if freewill is real then 2 B a slave is fate/ do U consider yourself Free or Destine 2 BE? follow me Dont globalize me

[4ourMat]

I made a remake of this beat it's the video response check it out

[Mun0z387]

Don't follow that. that crap got me suspended

[triggerfingas]

Dis shit is so hard...It just needs to be looped and formatted and this would be cold as shit

[welcomein]

madlib=best living producer

Rest In Beats J Dilla

[uzn88]

not The BEST in my opinion but one of them for a fact... to me

Madlib

Pete Rock

and

Premo

[uzn88]

i meant to say

hes not The BEST in my opinion but one of them for a fact...

to me

Pete Rock

Madlib

and

Premo are, not just Madlib

R.I.P. Dilla

[SmokesdaGanja]

madlib does it again. this is classic right here

[Medaphore]

this beat is definitely a fan favorite. I did a love song to it for my gf. let me know if I did the track justice folks.

peace.

[Thn1kk4man]

So after hearing this again, I want to know when Q-Tip will drop a Madlib produced lp?

[DZA703]

sample: black ivory - you and I

[notben1]

Anyone know the song he sampled?

[Endtroducing85]

Talk about a damn fine track... Madlib has always failed to dissapoint. Fantastic.

[BlackSaint187]

Madlib Version is way better

Madlib 5.0

Q-tip 4.0

[KPrime05]

I see it more as a equal playing field. Essentially, they're both loops for real. The thing in the q-tip beat that makes it shine is that bass guitar. The thing that makes madlibs shine is the the drums and the addition of the vocal sample

[KPrime05]

Also his drums are killer on here even though they're so simple.

[smackdee]

Luv this ish, was kinda hot when I herd tip's version!!!!

[stgcrack14]

:O i was high and playing chess when i last heard this song this dudes beats iz ill love this one and the comebacks

[jaxbull234]

let the track ride! Madlib is a beast. I was chillin with his brother Oh No last month . talented individuals

[Medaphore]

this is a great beat.. remember the very first time I came across it on the Juno music website.

if you like this track check out what I did to it. made a love letter for my girlfriend.

[juaepperson]

Is Juno a record store?

[Medaphore]

more or less.. a la Tower Records/Virgin but I think its strictly online.

[sassys35]

q-tip ples use this as your remix to gettin up!!!!!!!!!

[zapdude]

yeah but madlib used it first mate.

[TymesRhymes]

He wants Q-Tip to use it as a remix, he probably know Madlib used it first.

[Zimeftw]

I love this song lol, Listen to it all the time :)

[mld72mld]

Love It!!!!!
