  • Big Jerm made this beat, not johnny juliano

  • wiz kalifa stole this beat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    look it up...the song is called...never bend.

    please go talk shit!!!!

  • @caliwowie yes u r decades late but its not stealing its sampling... rappers do it everyday..artist do it everyday for that fact... jus cuz its from a game that we ALL played u feel u need to bash??? y buddy??? trolling stops wit u.

  • @harlemkid131 changing a beat thats not yours = un-og. If you know anything about producing you'd know this is cheap and easy. taking a few seconds from something is sampling..but taking the whole damn beat????.....real djs pay no respect to this junk. you don't get big doin this shit and now hes on top and hes doing this shit??....pathetic

  • You all are so closed minded, and senseless fools, this version is what influenced Wiz to want to make Never Been. Wiz is just having fun doing his thing, he and whoever came up with the 'Never Been' instrumental paid well respect to the Schala's theme, I am also a musician, looking to indulge in sounds and tunes reminiscent of childhood luminosity's....

  • @viciousangel36 if a rapper wants to sample songs thats fin,e but whiz doesnt even admit that he sampled schalas theme, i know this because a loooooooooong time ago before he got popular i asked him, he claims hes never sampled this song which is bullshit

  • ....This is just an exponential example of such passion for this game. Who knows, maybe they played it when they were younger and just now thought how sweet it would be to make it into a mixtape instrumental, I know I constantly think of such ideas.

  • Whiz khalifa made 9 accounts and thumbed this song down XD!

  • @asands123 yea then he rapped over it , idiot

  • @droj43 youre the idiot for liking whiz khalifia. worse rapper since vanilla ice

  • @asands123 i can name millions of rappers worse than wiz fool , ur just mad cus ur comment dusnt make sense , if u took the time to listen to wiz's lyrics than just say that all new rap is shit you would understand how much of a ignorant dumbass you are

  • NEVER BEEN LOL SWAG

  • Ohh my goodness, you guys are comparing a brilliant game with beautiful music with a man who raps nonsense? Now people, if you want to rap comments then go to Wiz Khalifa's page please, thank you.

  • damn son why'd square enix haf ta steal shit frum wiz

  • GONNA SMOKE AN OUNCE AND KILL SUM COPS CRACKA, DAMN GURL SHAKE DAT ASS

  • Wiz Khalifa - Never Been

  • Lol yall niggas need to chill the fuck out. Smoke a doobie, go fuck your bitch/ a bitch. It's a song that's sounds nice. Whooptie fucking doo.

  • damn, TO ALL OF YOU FUCKING TROLL RAGE NERD ON YOUTUBE, calm the fuck down. it's a simple beat created by an asian from years ago. A rapper used it because it was perfect for the lyrics he used, other than that it was not even a big deal lmfao shut the fuck up now

  • @shepardson1 True, but the reason why Chrono fans are so upset is because Wiz didn't give Mitsuda any credit for the beat, plus he took this beautiful song and used it to rap about drugs, alcohol and "hoes". I must say, I don't hate Wiz Khalifa for doing that... but I like him a lot less.

  • @AbrahamSuperman you make alot of sense. but its what the people want to hear. let them hear it.

  • Comment removed

  • I've always loved the fact that you can hear Magus's theme carefully weaved into this song.

  • @TheTrykstr Wait what??? You can?? WHY HAVEN'T I NOTICED THIS BEFORE.

  • Wiz was juss bein creative not alot of rappers get on a track of off a good RPg like this and plous he aint even make the beat..it wasn't Johhny Juliano either..it was Sledgren..so blame im..he even has the instrumental on his Youtube account.

  • Ah man, this game is amazing. Sadness, happiness, distress, drama. It had it all. Game designers should look back at THIS game when they're looking for inspiration on story or characters :)

  • Nobody killed the beat, it's pretty much the same, just slowed down. It's creative and an interesting risk to take as an artist

  • This was made by Yasunori Mitsuda, fucked up by Wiz Khalifa and fixed by Mike G.

  • @AndresFR2 FUCK YOU! If it wasn't for Wiz, be honest... do you really think people would remember this ? -.- Give credit where credits due

  • @d3s1r3dpk Hahaha, are you kidding me? This is song is a part of one of the best character of one of the best rgp's in the world. Of course people would remember !

  • @d3s1r3dpk I played Chrono Trigger. I love that game. This is one is of my favorite songs on the soundtrack. I immediately knew when I heard "Never Been" that it was a sample from Chrono Trigger. Stop riding Wiz's dick he has plenty of bitches to do that for him.

  • @AndresFR2 @AbrahamSuperman omg shut the fuck upp...well i guess if you want to lie to yourself and believe that you've always been thinking about the theme song to this game , which from about a decade ago -.- then you do that. But like you said...you heard the song and "instantly" thought of the game...im pretty sure the game was nowhere in your head before you heard the song...but if it was (which you'll probably say) get a life faggot

  • @d3s1r3dpk LMAO. I know Shala's Theme when I hear it. You're telling me to get a life yet you're the one going apeshit over a shitty as song Wiz Khalifa made. Chill bro. Wiz probably acknowledged himself that he shitted all over this classic.

  • @d3s1r3dpk Well, of course I thought of Chrono Trigger when I heard it, I've played it plenty of times. You clearly don't know a thing you are talking about. And by the way, there's no reason to be so upset and use such foul words, we are solely discussing a video game here. Don't take it so personal, old chap.

  • @fl4ng @AndresFR2 LMAO all you lame ass niggas talking about "of course i remember this game, i used to play it all the time" STFU!!! Just because you say it doesnt mean i have to believe your lies? fl4ng, trust me im not upset "bro." And you people who keep sending me messages obviously missed my whole point of commenting, i was giving Wiz props for probably introducing people (like me) who had no idea this game existed. so GOMD! and while you're at it go swim in the ocean and touch the bottom

  • @d3s1r3dpk Yes well, you can believe what ever you like :) I actually bought a copy of the DS remake so I can still play it today <3 I do recommend you try this game. The amazing story along with the good character design and beautiful music makes it one of the best video game I've ever played.

  • Can you faggots stfu about Wiz?

  • Let us all give thanks to Wiz Khalifa... for taking a good song and fucking it up

  • Why is SNES music better than most modern compositions?

  • @GrovyleXShinyCelebi

    True story

  • @GrovyleXShinyCelebi

    Because nostalgia. Also most RPGs have some pretty music.

  • @Myth3842

    *pretty good music

    Stupid youtube with no no edit button.

  • @GrovyleXShinyCelebi Back in the SNES and NES era they had more limitations and when you wanted to created a nice song everything had to be perfect. There where no other ways around it.

  • @GrovyleXShinyCelebi Oddly enough, there's actually an answer to that.

    First, Japan is a crazy country that can afford hiring highly-qualified, extremely professional composers to not just do music for games, but specifically study music in context of games. The lead composer of Silent Hill spent 20 years putting together the game music theory.

    Second, technical limitations of early machines heavily forced the composers to come up with tunes that could only rely on...

  • ...complex melodies and simple rhythms, since the range of sound was so limited, and only few could be played at the time. Strong melody and recognizable rhythm are generally what makes music easy to listen to.

    Third, however, there are still great composers out there if a gaming company can just bother looking. Sonic Mayhem, SoulEye, Ari Pulkkinen, Michiel van den Bos, to list a few.

    <3

  • i like how wiz gets his some of his beats from video games, it takes me back to old times and at the same time listenin to wiz rap

  • Love this instrumental !

  • Janus is magus 'o'

  • All of you raging that "Wiz killed the beat" probably don't know it was Johnny Juliano who made the beat FOR Wiz.

  • @ThErAmWaNtShAm Oh really..? lol

  • @ThErAmWaNtShAm Okay then; Johnny Juliano killed the beat.

  • @ThErAmWaNtShAm Big Johnny Juliano fan here... but it was Sledgren that produced "never been" sampling this

  • @ThErAmWaNtShAm actually it was sledgren who made the beat

  • Warcraft, Sim City, Zelda: Link to the Past, Boy and his Blob, Power Monger, Dungeon Master, Tie Fighter, Kings Quest, Space Quest, and many many others...

    We will speak about the first generation gamers. The games that they used to play Pac Man, Space Invaders, etc...

    We will speak of the advent of the internet. ICQ, MSN, MIRC, etc... The new generation of systems the xbox and the Play Station. How the games have changed and the history...

    We will have our DAY!!! LoL.

  • Old Gamers Rejoice. We will have our day.

    2030. Our kids and grandchildren will sit by their computers drinking Red Bull and eating Clif Bars will listen to us on our webcam. We will tell our children it is okay to be an 'old gamer' and to our grandchildren we will tell them about our days without cell phones and the internet.

    We will speak of the 286, Atari, NES, SNES, Sega, etc... Games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Super Mario, TMNT, Doom, Dune, Mech Warrior, ... (Continue)

  • Okay. Now, I am going to feel a lot older when I ask this question.

    Is this individual you speak off... Umm... Popular?

  • @ScireSpire yes unfortunately he is

  • My brain can't figure out if it is offeneded or not about the two completely different songs.

  • why y'all mad for wiz using this sample? if you haven't noticed, plenty other artist uses samples in a lot of their songs... no matter what it is... dumbfucks...

  • So did anyone erroneously accuse Chrono Trigger of ripping off Wiz Khalifa yet?

  • @Polydunami Oops. I made the comment too late. We have NicoNicoNess who won first place. Winner gets a golden bird! *gives the bling-blinged finger*

    I jest, of course. But it still slightly aggravates me.

  • @Polydunami I don't know who Wiz is and really don't want the magic getting sucked out of this song. Yes, there are idiots who erroneously accuse older mediums of being rip offs of newer ones. I don't want to get into a debate here, but it depresses me to see people think that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a rip off of Twilight.

  • Wiz Khalifa sent me here

  • Its a great sample to use...SledGren made an excellent beat using a sample from a great classic game. Let it go...damn!

  • I'm listening to this because I like Chrono Trigger. I've never heard of this Wiz person before today...

  • @ChickinSammich I agree too. I think the reason is because we are OLD. Fuck!

  • This song was the the reason I listened to Wiz

  • Damn hipsters

  • lmao. people getting mad because wiz used this sample. why? haha

  • no ones gonna buy that game just because you said that haha

  • " SAy she never been "

  • Geez these butthurt nerds need to read up on the music industry.... ITS NOT HIM WHO HAD THE IDEA !! His producer Sledgren made the beat for him to flow on.. So if anything get on Sledgren for doing his job.

  • psh, and wiz thought we wouldnt notice....

  • It was sledgrens beat that he made for wiz, btw he didn't make any money off the mixtape itself, it was free

  • @bonessack we can't hear your flow or voice dude.. you're making yourself look stupid -.-

  • LOVE THIS GAME! I've just made an orchestral cover of this song :) feel free to enter my channel and check it :D

  • dont hate on wiz khalifa!! cuz of him i am getting this game on my ipod touch!!!

  • @rodriguez6501 No one hates Wiz for taking this theme and making a song out of it. He's getting negative views because of his crappy lyrics he put on the song. We could care less if because of him, you're buying the game. It still doesn't change the fact that he did such a poor job on the song.

  • @smokintheblaze well a lot of ppl like wiz khalifa like me so if he never made the song i would have never knew about this game!

  • @smokintheblaze

    I'd like to disagree with that. But either way, the music is music, the game is the game, and we're all here because we like it. So lets all just like it in peace.

  • @rodriguez6501 The guy who sampled this song was just awesome to use such a beautiful song from a great game = D

  • No idea why people are discussing something that isn't even from the game... "Ahh! He's ruined my childhood with his sampling for his song!"

    ... Really, you came to this video and your first reaction was to whine about a rapper sampling this? Just enjoy this song for what it is: Spectacular.

  • pointless to hate on wiz, he probably loved this game as a kid, id use the beat too its awesome

  • Schala: The Real reason to hate lavos

  • Had no idea one of my favorite songs from a game I played a decade ago was sampled by some shitty rapper recently. Talk about surreal.

  • Fucking Wiz Khalifa! He stole this song totally! It's pretty much identical!

  • @Supermariofan14 They sampled the song from here...not stole.....and besides Kush & OJ was a free mixtape anyway so its not like he made millions off of this 1 song..smh

  • Said she Never Been!

  • I love this song. This one, Frog's and Magus's are my top three for the game. I was so disappointed when my PS memory card disappeared and later the disc for this game vanished in a move. I was nearly jumping for joy when I found the DS version. I've been playing between lectures at uni and when I got to the first meeting with Schala I just let the music play. My headphones broke so I had the volume on quietly. When the prof came in he asked me to turn it up because it was so relaxing.

  • Empty bottles of Clicquot, ashes on the floor.

    Towel under the door', we wasn't supposed to even smoke.

  • lmao wizz 

  • I can imagine lil Wiz at age 8 playing this game going "Man, this is a sickass beat! I'm gonna have somebody sample it when I grow up!"

  • @ViolinSnowKid2 lol yh same XD so cool

  • beating this game over and over but i can say this one of the songs i like lol love it

  • So what if Wiz Khalifa takes this and makes a song with it? Does that mean you can't listen to this anymore? What the fuck does it matter?

  • @NoiseMaker231 thats what i have been trying to explain to people for forever. not just with this song. but with many other samples... people are just so stupid sometimes.

  • Comment removed

  • you haters make it seem, like its a big deal.

    its jus a beat. ppls these days. smh.

  • Comment removed

  • this is probably my favorite game of all time, even still with PS3 and XBOX, despite the graphics i still dont think i've played another game that topped it!!!!!

  • Never Been by Wiz Khalifa! Dear god... well at least I can remember why I love that song... love this game.

  • why do I hear never been....

  • The black wind howls... One among you will shortly perish...

  • The beat was luca brazis first

  • We all came to this video for the same reason....Bottom line "We All Like This Beat". Whether you liked the video game itself and just liked the tune or If you heard this via Wiz Khalifa's Never Been video is irrelevant, we all love the tune. He just another person who liked it as well, maybe he played the game in his youth and always liked the tune.Nobody knows! Furthermore he is just a rapper, in which most rappers are presented with the tunes they rap over. FYI. Oh yeah I love the game too!

  • Empty bottles of gleko and diamonds in a row, towel under the door we wasn't even supposed to smoke

  • @X4XTREME Diamonds In a Row ? It's Ashes On The Flo' .

  • My FAVORITE part in the whole game is the Kingdom of Zeal! The music is so much better than the Ancient times!

  • サラのテーマは大好きです。あなた方が言うWiz Khalifaさんはどういう人ですか??教えてください。

  • @youku08 彼はこの歌から盗んだとこのために私はトランスレータを使用して­いますので、あなただけでなく、人々がウィズカリファが好きでは­ない言ったことは考えていない

  • A lot of video game fans are fucking crybabies.

  • This song should stay with Chrono, it's amazing wiz' video has like 54 mil views and he ripped his beat from a fuckin video game... that should show how horrible modern day music creativity has become...there is none.

  • @AtheismISgod Sampling a video game song isn't creative? stfu and enjoy the music

  • @AtheismISgod Lol you mad brobro?

  • Thanks wiz for using this song in your video. Withou it I would of never known of the epic video game

  • wow what r the odds?

    lol!

  • I love Wiz Khalifa.

    I love Chrono Trigger.

    I wasn't aware of any song connecting the two.

    The love is false.

  • Wiz Khalifa is my favorite Chrono Trigger character!  I love his tank stats!

  • stfu you guys act like no ones ever used a beat from someone else

  • @sevesap1mp its the same for pretty much every beat in the game you right

  • if you came here by wiz khalifa thumbs up bitch!!

  • people that think that Wiz originally made this make me lose faith in humanity.

    I like both versions, but respect the classic. 

  • I don't know about all of you but I love Chrono Trigger enough to be excited and proud when I hear it sampled in a song.

  • For the love of CT fans, if you came here because of Wiz Khalifa's song "Never Been".

    PLEASE BUY THIS GAME.

    I promise it's better than any game you will know. Yes, things are in 2D. Yes, the music might sound a bit squeaky. Yes, it has every single anime stereotype thrown into one game.

    But you will understand why CT fans react the way they did when you (finally) listen to Schala's theme (you only listen to it once, twice in DS/PSX versions).

    BUY THIS GAME.

  • @StayClueless no. don't give square any money. they've been coasting on charity and fanboy cheerleaders for too long and forgot how to make good games. they need tough love.

    don't get me wrong, chrono trigger is great and all, but you pirate it.

  • This is the beat for NEVER BEEN

  • wow way to take the lyrics out of the wiz khalifa song n post it again.. isnt dat copy rite ?????? some1 should sue 4 real

  • Hey guys, you know who isn't in this video? Wiz Khalifa. So stop talking about him and listen to the music. Go discuss him sampling this song on a Never Been video.

  • @NicoNicoNess are you joking? Or are you actually retarded? Chrono Trigger is for SUPER NINTENDO. 1995. Wiz Khalifa was fuckin 7 years old when this game came out. Use your brain, if you're capable of doing so.

  • @NicoNicoNess Not sure if trolling......

  • @NicoNicoNess Bruh, you retarded?

  • @NicoNicoNess << Definitely a troll. If not, a grand retard... then again, they're the same thing

  • @NicoNicoNess

    Aaron, I love you!

  • Aww, you weeaboo faggots mad because a "nigger" "stole" a song from your percious underground JRPG game?

    Get over it. Ya should be happy that the mainstream is starting to respect video game music. Hipsters faggots.

  • @ViolinSnowKid2 no one is being a hipster faggot. Their just saying that it's shitty to make sample a song and make shitty songs off of it. Chrono Trigger isn't even underground... It came out for the Super Nintendo back in 1995. It even came back out for Playstation and Nintendo DS. If you payed attention to the little things you wouldn't come off as an asshole.

  • @ViolinSnowKid2 No one is happy about black people.

  • @EldestSauce What the fuck?

  • @DjSkyfaze

    I Understand that SAMPLING has been happening for ages what i didnt understand is that a sample is apparently the ENITRE SONG.

    Sample Dictionary Definition:

    A SMALL PART or QUANTITY intended to show what the whole is like

    or --

    to take PART of Something else

    This Is NOT Taking A PART Thats Just The Entire Thing Dubbed Over

  • @HironobuSakaguchi11 it's very common for a rap instrumental to be made up of a bass line or melody sampled from another song, and a drum beat. Most rap music is more about the lyircs than the actual music as well so the fact they didn't actually write the music can be overlooked. I have nothing against it in theory, but that wiz guy fucking sucks. I've always thought chrono trigger music could sound cool sampled in hip hop, it just needs some one better rapping over it.

  • why the fuck do they look like DBZ characters

  • @wakeel44

    Same artist

  • @wakeel44 cause its from japan ore korea

  • @wakeel44 The art director for this game was, Akira Toriyama who created Dragon Ball Z. Hence why the art direction resembles the manga.

  • ay this one kills wiz's version

  • Nine mofos neva been.

  • Comment removed

  • Wiz ass cant rap anyway....

  • @kasjamm Ok top 100 on the billboard

  • Wiz khalifa Never Been.

  • @DJDrumrolls Chrono Trigger: 1995

    Never Been: 2010

    lol...

  • @Duorsa ok..

  • It was a mixtape anyways, the whole point of a mix tape is to go over beats already used

  • sure you can call it what you want, but if wiz hadn't made that song most people wouldn't even know this tune existed

  • @mekz100 thats true but i still like the song he did it justice cuz how many mainstream rappers you know sample video game themes like he did

  • @DjSkyfaze Wiz wasn't even mainstream when he threw this track, bro. Just throwing that out there. I see it as Wiz made this tune/sample huge compared to what it already was. People shouldn't be hating on Wiz for making a tune bigger than it already is. That's just my opinion on the topic.

  • @ChanceM56 i no that what im saying is now he is mainstream and most people who listen to him no the song also it was from kush and orange juice which is like his classic mixtape or album i cant remember.

  • Crono > Wiz Khalifa

  • Its Not The Fact Songs Are Used As Samples That Annoys Me A Sample Is As Hinted A Sample E.g A Drum Beat,Bass Riff What Annoys Me Is That Whiz Didnt Take A Sample He Took THE WHOLE SONG And Just Threw Lyrics Over The Top

  • @HironobuSakaguchi11 you do realize that hip hop has been doing that for a long time also rock has done the same. just take BIG's Big Poppa they took an old school r&b classic and put rap lyrics over the instrumental also rock musician have straight up taken classic blues tunes and made it their own. led zepplin did it but everyone wants to blame hip hop for sampling when rock started doing before hip hop was around.

  • I don't really care much for wiz khalifa but I love this song.

  • Wiz Khalifa!!!!!

  • Why are people angry about Wiz ripping this song into one of his raps? Do you guys realize that Chrono Trigger will get more attention?

    The man is a legend.

  • @JoshCube2 Chrono will only get more attention if the people listening to it know where it came from. And Wiz's "fan base" for lack of a better word, probably never have played Chrono Trigger in their life.

  • @JoshCube2 agreed. As a fan of both hip-hop and video games, I always love to hear sampled BGM's. True hip-hop listeners are always interested in hearing where a sampled song comes from, so imo the fact that Wiz did use this song will hopefully draw more listeners to Chrono Trigger, at least the OST.

  • wiz khalifa-never been best version of that

  • My friend discovered this song and this game through Wiz Khalifa. Now he loves this game. Personally I think Wiz is a pile of ass, but really he's advertising this game, who gives a shit.

  • the best the best the best SIMPLYYYY the best game ever made ..... =/

  • wow. with 730+ likes I think out of the "chrono trigger music" videos this is the highest rated. if I'm wrong let me know one that has more likes that is not a remix.

  • Hey, Wiz wouldn't want you guys to knock on Chrono Trigger OR Chrono Cross, or even Radical Dreamers - he loves the hell out of those games. So let's just all sit down and enjoy Schala's Theme AND Never Been, since they're both kickass songs.

  • wiz used this beat to make possibly THE best smoking song ever released, before him it was a peice of shit no one knew about. its gettin publicity through him, stop bitching, and start burning
