How Producers Secretly TRICK You (Without You Knowing)

[DSSbeats]

I think the best example of this is A Tribe Called Quest's "Find A Way".

J Dilla uses a Japanese vocal sample (Towa Tei - Technova) but when Q-tip and Phife dawg rap their own chorus over it, they make the original singer sound like she's singing the same lyrics as them, even though it's in an entirely different language!

30 hours break down was EXACTLY what i was thinking about last week oh my god. one of my favorite sample uses and that bassline is sooo good

[kylebeats]

never noticed “light up the spliffs” 🔥

[choco_bear]

Also on J Dilla's track 'Stop' from 'Donuts' Jadakiss sounds like he is saying "is death real?"
And Kanye's 'Through the wire' comes to mind of course

"Hold You Down" definitely got me. It's insane how I never knew that this whole time. Classic song

[forbeatssake]

It’s common technique. You chop a sample and all the syllables mix up into new words. Pete flipped Sugarman into You’re The Man. I’ve done Forget Domani into Get The Money.

Jocelyn Flores is a good example also:
The Original Sample says: "I know you so well, so well"
But XX decided to make "I know you somewhere, somewhere" out of it

[subterraneanbleuminds]

that last song had to have been a sample of Arthur Russell. Such a brilliant musician who came to an early sad demise. rip

[tocide]

Kanye loves making new phrases out of the original ones in the sample

Finally seeing someone give love to Karriem Riggins!! I've sampled his new "To The Jungle" album to the point where I don't have anymore songs to sample. His drums truly are great for what I make. He's mad underrated too, not many people know about him. Haven't listened to his Jahari Massamba Unit (with Madlib), but will do soon!

Great video again Navie. My favorite of all time is Slum Village- Players. J Dilla sampled the Singers Unlimited song "Claire" and it sounds like "players" on the instrumental. It's only when I tried remaking the beat in 2010 that I found out about the sample, I was so shocked

[GABETHEGOATK]

Your videos shifted my mindset of sampling multiple times at this point

[Danll]

Another example of the McGurk effect from J Dilla was Slum Village Players where the sample actually says “Claire” 🤯

[froggy]

Kanye also did this on "Through the wire" where in the sample we can hear "through the fire"

[chrismorale_]

Just Blaze definitely has a rapper or singer voice and has been on so many songs with it that we don't even realize. "Welcome to New York City" is one where there are no samples and that singing is him.

With regards to Hold You Down - I was ALWAYS convinced something was not right about the word "down." This was a big song back when I was into mainstream rap, heard it all the time, and I just never could convince myself that the word was "down." "Well the song is called "Hold You Down"", all my friends would say.

I LOVE the Kanye Late beat, underrated, I didn’t know all of this. Was very interesting, great content!

[beatzfromthebasement]

Genius😂 @Navie D your breakdowns are 2nd to none 💯 learning a lot here😎 much appreciated

[epat]

I knew the I'll Erase Away Your Pain sample before Late came out. I always knew what they were saying. The Breathe manipulation ESPECIALLY was impressive! I spent a LOT of time trying to figure out how he did that! I was familiar with that sample too! Great video as always!

[rozzelli]

hold you down has me going crazy wtf i can’t unhear stan 😭😭😭😭
