Marley Marl is unquestionably one of the greatest producers and DJs in hip hop history. His influence and importance to hip hop are undeniable, and his innovative productions and pioneering use of sampling helped define the genre. Marley Marl has produced beats for some of the music's finest MCs including Big Daddy Kane, MC Shan, LL Cool J, Biz Markie, Roxanne Shante, Kool G Rap, Nas, Rakim, and Masta Ace.
In this episode of Classic Recipes, the legendary producer explains and demonstrates how he created the beat for MC Shan's "The Bridge," one of the most memorable beats in hip hop history. As always, along with the beat programming tips and composition/production techniques he also gives us the lowdown on where and when the music was originally created.
Marl recalls the moment he first met MC Shan and recorded "Marley Marl Scratch," and also remembers when legendary rap radio personality Mr. Magic rejected a Boogie Down Productions record that was submitted for airplay on WBLS-FM, later resulting in the feud between the South Bronx crew and Marl's Juice Crew.
"The Bridge" was originally created using the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer and the Korg SDD-2000 Sampling Digital Delay. Marley Marl programmed the beat by triggering drum sounds (the kick and snare) from the TR-808 into the SDD-2000, giving the track a unique sound and feel.
In this video he recreates the beat using the Akai MPC Renaissance; instead of just sampling The Honey Drippers' track "Impeach The President" intro drum beat, Marley completely reprogrammed the beat from the kick and snare right down to the "Ladies and gentlemen" voice intro. Along with adding some ghost notes, he reversed The Magic Disco Machine's "Scratching'" record to create the stabs and gritty noises you hear at the beginning of "The Bridge." (Check out the last episode of Classic Recipes for more on ghost notes and how Marl used them in Eric B. & Rakim's "Eric B. Is President." bit.ly/Toe3tt)
somebody needs to create a museum of hip hop in queens or the bronx, to preserve the history for the new generations
Daniel Melendez probly the BX, ya know, where it originated
Daniel Melendez that would be dope
There already is: the Universal Hip Hop Musem in Bronx.
SuperDonez going to have to make a trip and visit one of these days
Your wish was granted 👍🏼
Such a unique and loud sound that reverse sample is. I wondered for years what exactly it was.
Word, me and my boys used to call it the 'elephant rape' sound 😂
I still own the Korg SDD-2000,what a gem.
Best hip-hop producer of all time him and DJ Premier!!
One of the best
Marley Marl influenced DJ Premier
Heard bdp stole his chit smh he all marley is hole career #queensforever
kiddkevo don’t forget Dre
no. dre is
That reversed high pitched wail is iconic 🙌💯 I just turned 51 a couple of days ago (for context).."The Bridge" track is one of my all time favorite hip hop beats 🎶👌
I think it's great to see these tracks recreated. A lot of history behind that beat.
Marley you GOTTA break down The Symphony for us true Hip Hop Heads. Take us back to 88' !
Otis Redding loop. Drums from the 45 rpm with the smile face.
Man, Marley is the first cat to make me start paying attention to producers. Meaning I would go to the record store LOOKING for his name. If I saw "M. Marl" on the label that shit was as good as bought. No questions asked.
Bro we were in different worlds and doing the same thing 1985-1987
Nothin like summer in NY in the mid to late 80's and early to mid 90's.. Thank you OG..
At 10:57. That was the drums to Top Billin' by Audio Two. That song uses the same drum sounds.
2.6k likes and most missed it😝
we need more of marley's recipes!!
Ha! Like Pavlov's dog drooling at the sound of a bell, whenever I heard that backwards "Scratchin'", I thought "Queens Bridge".
And I live in San Diego! Never been to NY.
A TRUE LEGEND !!!!!!!! AND MC SHAN AND THE BRIDGE .... ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES !!
I loved mc Shan and Marley marl. When kill that noise came out I remember recording it on tape from the radio. Classic
Could not talk about this song without talking about the bridge wars haha knew It was coming when I saw the title.
i am from the Bronx and this video is part of an educational and legendary trip down memory lane
LMAO!!!!! KRS1 AND Scott La Rock stole his drum reel!!! That's some funny shit!!!!!
@Douglas Charles 🤡🤡
back in the day when this record came out i used to play the record backwards so then i could hear the sampled used
Thank you so much for this series. That Boom bap sound and the simplicity of good music is something that has gotten lost in todays gimmicks. I recently purchased ableton and launchpad. Its crazy that for under $200 you can make your own shit. I pray for the day we take hip hop back for clear channel and these other corporations.
This is a Master class by the true Master. Agreed top three producers of all times. Marley, Premier and the Bomb Squad.
Dope! I'd love him to do a version of these vids using the original gear!
The magic of sampling “Impeach The President” drum break 💯💯💯
knew this story but never knew about the stolen drums lol
I can remember all of this. My cousin Darryl introduced me The Marley Scratch, I introduced him to BDP. I always thought those drums were already apart of the SP-12. LEARNED SOMETHING GREAT TODAY. THANK YOU.
Salute to my hero Marley Marl!
This changed hiphop production forever.
Salute to the great Marley Marl.
That reversed sample of Scratchin' - LEGENDARY
YES!!! i left a comment on the rakim one saying to do a classic recipe for this joint! thank you dubspot and marley marl!! truly a legend
I looooooove watching these!! I can watch these all day!! Thank you Marley, I really don't think you get the credit you deserve!! Most people credit Dr. Dre as the greatest hip Hop producer, BUT without you & your innovative productions, ALOT of these producers wouldn't be where they are today!! Marley was the FIRST to do most of the the things Hip Hop producers do today!! Marley Marl.....TRAILBLAZER!!
Mc Shan and marley marl was the best hip hop crew ever
Soooo many classics from this man. Please, please keep making these videos!
that's a good point man the vocals on The Bridge almost sound like they were recorded at one of the legendary park jams! That reverb....
so informative peace Marley marl
I looove this so much! So glad they make episodes like this, even more being from a master such as Marley Marl. Bless you Marl
#Salute to you Marley Marl for making "The Bridge" by MC Shan a record when it wasn't . It's still a classic
Legendary Innovator 👊 💽 ✊
Thank you for this Marly. Much respect!
DJ Marley Marl is a great teacher. 💎‼️👀 HISTORY

Yo. Another amazing clip. I completely and utterly love the classic recipes. sooo dope. keep as many of them as possible coming. much love for educating and sharing. 1000 thank yous.
I'm gonna keep it Real... I grew up in the South Bronx During that time. "The Bridge is over" was a Monster Hit on the streets and in Hip Hop clubs during those days.... You had to rock with it!!! But me being a true Hip Hop Head.... I feel that "The Bridge" was Made Extremely well. Music wise.... its Way better than "The bridge is Over". A true Hip Hop Song from beginning to end. 9:02... shit get Real!!! 💪💪💪💪
The Bridge helped the Bomb Squad become what they would become as producers as well.
@@sgtcreasegrease Indeed!!
Sonnn... This shit was AWESOME. Thanks so much for the education, and the positivity, Marley. I love this!
Marley is one of the best that ever did it!!!! Hip Hop for life !! let's get it!!
Keep it coming w/ Marley Marl, Dubspot. Hip Hop needs to keep being documented.
This is a true OG. I been telling and showing my son how pioneers made their tracks... Literally. Thanks Marley. Though I had to find out how you did it the hard way. But that made me better as a youngin'.
Finally!....this is a awesome series...keep em coming!
Wow! Never knew about the Magic Disco Machine and always wondered where the horn was from. Many happy hours spent listening to this since then. Props to Marley Marl!

Oh, I love this program so much!!!
These producers and artists deserve so much more recognition and credit for their skills, talent, and time spent creating work that will live on to fuel generations of cultural artefacts that most people don't even know where it all evolved from. Much respect!
I love this series Thanks Dub Spot and most of all Thank You Marley Marl!!
These keep getting beter and better.
taking the time to share knowledge appreciate it
Wow probably some of the best vids i've seen on YT! Keep it up guys!!
Wow, I'm digging Hip Hop royalty, a true master and innovator, thank you from a uk home boy, I remember when this dropped, we were busting it out on our boom boxes remember them 😂
One of the youngest yet richest artforms humankind has created. These people are geniuses. I could hear Marley Marl and Preemo telling stories all day.
Mad respect to this pioneer. Philly always took notes from NY in being the creators of this thing called hiphop
Undoubtedly one of the best rap tracks of all time for sure. Who remembers Mr. Magic's Rap Attack?
Wow when he reversed that sample it sounds so dope. Love this.
These videos are hugely inspiring, salute to Marley Marl!
@4.15 so that's what it is!! Wow what an idea to do that, I LOVE that sound.
Great to know, what a great post. Thanks for posting :)
This is levels of greatness beyond imagination. Especially for a Uni student studying music production lol
Thx Dubspot! Nothing like brining back a pioneer of Hip Hop, gives me that good ol feeling!:)
Bring this show back!
That was a cool back story....classic hip hop rivalry.
Great videos...keep em coming , Legend
What up Marley?! Nuff Respect... I'm a long time student of yours. Love the Marley Marl "Classic Recipes" featured on DubSpot... Keep em coming! Much Love goes out to DubSpot here in NYC... I love what your doing with your program (incredible faculty & staff & direction overall)!
Class is in session! Peace!
Yeah I remember Ivan Doc Rodriguez stole your reel, gave it to CedGee From UltraMagnetic M.C.'s and made Criminal Minded! So in all actuality Marley produced BDP's first album, so Kris dissed him on his own damn sampled beats! That's effed up! Marley's too humble to speak on that in expanded detail though.
king shaman - They was just loookin to cash in on that whole dissin each other phenomenon like Roxanne and The Real Roxanne or whatever.
This segment is the most important thing to modern hip hop
DOPE! Keep them recipes coming Marley!
Appreciate the jewels Marley
yooo, got his drums? thats a crazy story that im really glad I now know
the sounds in this record are fukkin incredible yet so simple.
Thanks man, will watch that now....
WORD LEGENDARY MARLEY MARL!! MAXIMUM RESPECT WORDUP!! BLESS
I still blast this joint in 2020!
Thank You marley! I still have some old school tapes of you and magic from 107.5 rap attack show. Please post as many of these vids as you can. maybe G rap next
I need more of these
When I first starting getting into Hip Hop Marley Marl beatz was all I heard....Rough, Rugged and Raw! 30 years latter he still got the flavor!
lmao im here right now cause i want to use that sound and i too never knew, what that sound was.. thank you marley. reverse sample..
One of life's unexplained mysteries has now finally been answered. That ill ass loud sound! Now i can rest in peace when i leave this world.
I grew up listiing to all that rap when it first came out back then. I had no idea how all went down like that. Props to old scool rap and dub spot !
I love this!!
you, producer, May you live forever.
I love this
The 10 people who down voted this video are probably from the Bronx.
nah im from there but i still respect queens, i even reckognize nas as the goat
I’m originally from the Bronx and old enough to be around for that battle. KRS got Shan lyrically. KRS won the battle but Marley and the Juice Crew won the war. No doubt Biz, Kane, G Rap, Craig G, Shante, Master Ace killed it. Nothing but respect for Marley.
This just blew my mind. The history behind the making of this song. How Marley triggered the drums back then. I never would have guessed. I always thought he did this on the sp 12. Damn!!!
