J.R Rotem - The Making of Nicki Minaj's "Fly"

[carlogozi]

them speakers make my headphones sound good lol

[sformandei]

Thanks JR for your honesty and willingness to share this with us. As a songwriter and new producer, I need to hear how this stuff gets made and see that you can have faith in people to take your tracks, play them to people and get participation.

[NewGenerationClothes]

i like the guy who sings the chorus better then nikki lol:P shes good to tho

[QubsTV]

Awesome J.R ! check out my beats ;)

[zenobilis]

[KTKHarm]

Its sickening to me that people cant write their own hooks.

[carlogozi]

beyonce wouldv been better on the hook

[KTKHarm]

@carlogozi Thats not even a comparison lol Beyonce KILLS lol.



[carlogozi]

@KTKHarm lol u right

[ganimber3]

yo jr rotem is fukin boss, he just knows wassup, propsss

[IMurderBeatz4Fun]

It'z Amazing!!!

[SuperiorNizzle]

Watching videos on J.R Rotem producing really inspires me. Just shows a song can be made from the simplest of idea's, although the process of making the track may be difficult. Thanks for sharing!

[tobychang1994]

FLY is great without a doubt!!! And J.R. , you said too many "you know' ...LOL

[TheJspann]

love it..

[celestedestanee]

Jr rotem you are truly my idol

[armandmadewnus5]

I'd like to hear the song with the vocals from the guy on the demo so much !!!!!!

[Williamjordanmusic]

@armandmadewnus5 there is a version w/ the demo vocals on my page ;)

[retry64ever]

Uncompressed wav = boss

[jtwb568]

GREAT stuff!! :)



[checkmatehelp]

JR ROTEM IS TOO TECHNICAL FOR MUSIC CAUSE HIS INSTRUMENTALS ARE TERRIBLE!!!

[KebbyTheProphet]

i dont understand why people who make demos dont become a singer themselves?

[249mp]

@KebbyTheProphet They tend to eventually

[TheDFixx]

@KebbyTheProphet they are singers.. loads of big shots today started as demo singers. It's a great way to get into the industry.

[retry64ever]

"Tony my brother gave me some guitar loops..." "Hey nicky, our gitarist kevin gave me some loops"

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

@retry64ever "Tommy my brother gave me a guitar loop" "Our guitarist Kevin sent us these kind of guitars" His brother wrote the guitar tabs, then the musician Kevin played, recorded and sent them to the studio.

[superchrisbeatz]

@EpicSodas then you dont kno what your doin then......so many ppl are using fl now..its a super powerful program

[Maxikope]

A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13. People call another Guy fat. No one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight . People call an old man ugly. No one knew he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war.People call a women bald but they don't know she has cancer Re-post this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. I bet 95% of you won't do it...

[shayeasy]

@EpicSodas wrong. FL studio is just as capable of making professional quality records as a fantom or motif. guys like boi1da, kanebeatz, hitboy, and afrojack swear by it, and their work speaks for itself. the quality of the final product has more to do with mixing than what workstation you're using.

[superchrisbeatz]

@shayeasy agree with you ppl just dont know how powerful fl studio is

[MichaelShellyTV]

WHERE DOES HE GET HIS SOUNDS. ?!?!. im tired of all these low quality synths,

[Th3Hamm3r]

@MichaelShellyTV What do you mean by low quality?

[MichaelShellyTV]

@Th3Hamm3r low quality? lol synths with low bit rates.

[Th3Hamm3r]

@MichaelShellyTV Synths with low bitrates? LOL, do you even know what bit rate is?

[Th3Hamm3r]

@MichaelShellyTV Dude, noone uses SoundFonts anymore, and WAVs are very high quality anyway...

[wizowblowingood]

that guy singer is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than rihanna 

[Williamjordanmusic]

[Williamjordanmusic]

@CanadianKid3699 yours truly ;)

[SixelaYoccm]

I was absolutely inspired by this song.! I've been a Nicki fan/supporter and I've seen her grow & this is one of those songs where you can hear that {Message, production, & over all artistry} The guy singing the original hook has some mad vocal power on him as well -3 S/O to RiRi for making it come alive for Nick.! Hope to see more JR behind the Hit *SMOOCHES*

[SandiKayy]

@SandiKayy I've also already worked with many producers and one of them might sign me after when he heard me rap on a track and said "Your the next big thing" Thanks J.R i hope you really help
