Hailing from Queens, Marley Marl revolutionized hip-hop when he pioneered the practice of sampling drum sounds and creating his own proto-boom-bap rhythms, yielding gems like MC Shan’s joyfully noisy (and unintentionally beef-inducing) QB anthem “The Bridge.” The sonic architect of Cold Chillin’ Records and the Juice Crew, Mr. Marl was one of rap’s first super-producers, crafting huge hits for Eric B. & Rakim, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, and LL Cool J, among others. His tenure on late, great broadcasting partner Mr. Magic’s Rap Attack radio show on WBLS was immortalized in the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy.”

marly is the father of the hiphop sound we all love..before him there was none...
W B L S 🗽
Marley Marl one of the top hip hop producers of our time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After watching this interview 6 years ago without commenting, this was when I was on the verge of taking a hiatus from Hip-Hop. 6 years later (and during such),, mom dukes died. She always supported my hobby at the time. So now I'm back 6 years after this, and is slowly creeping back into hip hop. I can't leave this sport. I don't care who people compare me to. My life is Hip-Hop, and rap is the bridge to that gets me through times (fire under it to me by others and all). Marley the great. #Melanin.
Now thats what I am talking about. This is who I grew up to. Marley Marl changed my life.
In the song "The Bridge", Shan rhymes that they couldn't get no peace and the jams had to cease... I was a little girl who loved rap. I started rapping at 11. I'd be at my aunt's house in Queensbridge on Vernon Boulevard, listening out the window to hear the music from the jam at the park. I wanted to be there so bad it hurt. Hip Hop was in my bones. Then, I'd see everyone running back to the block because someone was shooting at the jam. I was like, ohhhh ok I get why I can't go. 😏🤦🏽♀️
one amazing thing about this lecture is that every single one of those songs can be found on CZcams.....much props to you who download the songs....I SALUTE YOU ALL!!
"I don't care who's first or who last but I know that y'all just better rock this at the drop of a dime baby"
Tntntnnnn
🥰we made it to the other side y'all!
👍💯
respect to marly !! no limitation of technology can stop this legend
Apologies for the minor sound issues on this one!
no need for apologies....just the info/experience opportunity is immense!
the echos added to the interview/lecture.....
+Edward Gore 100% absolutely agree with you! Marley Dropped Jewels directly and indirect try through storytelling.
Wow, Marl needs to write a scripted show. This is fascinating, a true legend and pioneer.
Get SLICK RICK NEXT PLEASE
goddam, marley is a legend!!
Marley Marl is a hip-hop legend. I'm not the first person to say this and I definitely won't be the last. I actually want to give props to Chairman Mao. He never makes it about himself. He does the research on his guests and lets them talk freely without interruption. That's why his interviews are always great.
Marley Marl is credited with influencing a number of hip hop icons such as RZA, DJ Premier, and Pete Rock. He was also featured on Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid In Full" from their debut album which was also recorded in his studio. As a producer, both notable projects was LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out and 14 Shots to the Dome albums. Marley Marl became interested in music, by performing in local talent shows, during the early days of rap music. He caught his big break in 1984, with artist Roxanne Shante's hit "Roxanne's Revenge". Marley Marl is also responsible for starting the hip hop collective Juice Crew alongside DJ Mr. Magic.
One of the greatest hiphop interviews of all time
that nigga marley marl is so dope when it comes to drum patterns and drum voices
WOW Marley Marl is deep one of the most under rated producer's of all time his Hip Hop royalty
He's not really underrated, because he is thought of as THE best producer of the golden-age, though of course more white American kids who sag and say 'nigga' think Dr Dre is the best producer and they don't have a clue what a producer is...real hip-hop heads know who's best.
If Marley Marl is underrated then he would be considered greater than other more revered music producers in other genres of music. Saying Marley Marl is underrated is like a man saying getting head is underrated. lol
indeed
@canibusnj A true def of a under rated producer is ez elpee or t-ray.
Beat Blasta LOL Funny thing you mentioned Ez Elpee. I'm a HUUGE fan of Ez Elpee. Had an email chat with him after hitting him up on his CZcams page, Real down to earth brother.
This is a must watch! this is amazing intuition for learning to re-learn
yes sirr
this is like the 2nd time I watched this....I love Marley's presentation
How can you not love Marley Marl? Talented & smart as hell. He was my first favorite Hip-Hop producer. Thank you, Red Bull Music Academy.
Salute to the "Engineer All Star Marley Marl"!!
18:30 the beginning of Marl's training to engineer. 20:47 Their first encounter w digital equipment. 24:45 sampled Art Of Noise "Beat Bop" for Captain Rock remix of "Cosmic Blast" on Unique Recording studio (1984).
What about the bridge
A young Marley looking through the window of a club trying to get a look at Bambaataa..... now that.... IS Hip Hop!
That's crazy. incredible interview
HAIL Marley Marl......You are and will always be the Beat God to me.
Same
Queensbridge🗽
I remember Marley Marl saying on the air during his sessions back in 87 "How long do you think rap is gonna be around.." "5 years?" So he is being honest when he said "Hip Hop wasn't gonna last" from his prospective. I love his honesty as well as his music. He could have skip that comment and pretended he was always on the bandwagon. But he didn't. Big shout out to Marley for saying that and clearing up the age old mystery in my mind why he was saying that. Much love to him and his legacy to not only hip hop but the music industry as well.... His music inspired and influenced a lot of people
v useful insights from a legend.. big up RBMA for putting this down..
Damn I didn't know Marley did "Boomin' System"....A freakin' legend! So many classic Hip Hop joints were made by him.
Facts
I am here for all the stories God Bless Marley. I fell in love w his character AND the music!
Cant believe this doesn’t have a thousand likes smh this is important
With all of the money Red Bull makes from consumers, you'd think they'd at least run this as an advertisement to gain more traction.
Thank you master - For all the frequencies and a fantastic history.
Nuff R-E-S-P-E-C-T to MARLEY MARL. My fav producer hands down.
One of the 1st if not thee 1st....
This music raised me. All these stories are mind-blowing. God bless the YT algorithm.
Small world... The Jimi Hendrix lived with the Aleem Brothers(Twins) when he moved to Harlem. Marley Marl worked with Aleem and one of the brothers wife played an essential role in this song. RBMA I'm learning so much from your interviews..."BIG PROPS to Chairman Mao!!!" Shirley Ellis from Queens Bridge??? Nice...
Awesome interview dopest hip hop producer that laid down the foundations for the followers like pete rock etc.
Awesome mate - wicked interview with nice tunes!!
Thanks for this video!
Very interesting lecture..Thanks
Thank you for such a great interview. Thank you Marley Marl for being a Great Pioneer and visionary and changing the way we listen create and produce music! I wouldn't be the producer I am today if it wasn't for you.
Dope interview 🎶
I love these lectures!!! Do they have these kinds of things in the U.S.? Would love to attend.
hands down this is the greatest Hip-Hop producer.
and then HANK SHOCKLEE & THE BOMB SQUAD.
we DJ Marley marl and MC shan n the house
Bow down and praise this man!
A true innovator and teacher.
This is hip hop kids
David Edward's checking in From N.C. Being a native new Yorker I understand what and how marly helped build hip hop brick by brick!
AT FORMS OF GENIUS
.
.
.
WHEN WE GO TO EXTREMES, THERE’S
REASON AND LOGIC BEHIND THE ACTION. WE’RE NOT ALLOWING CERTAIN THINGS TO
CONTINUE; WE CAN’T HAVE YOU UP. HIP-HOP IS HERE TO BE CONSTRUCTIVE, NOT
DESTRUCTIVE.
.
THE WORLD OF MC’N DESERVES A HIGHER,
STRONGER, MORE AUTHENTIC SALUTE. IT ISN’T ABOUT SAYING ANYTHING, IT’S ABOUT
SAYING SOMETHING. THERE’S BEEN MANY BEFORE FORMS OF GENIUS, WITH THE FUTURE OF
HIP-HOP IN MIND, THAT CAN APPRECIATE THE STANCE F.O.G. IS TAKING. THIS IS
FULL-ON COMMITTMENT WITH US.
.
WE CAN’T ALLOW TO SAY ANYTHING AND
EVERTHING THAT YOU CHOOSE TO, WITHOUT HOLDING YOU ACCOUNTABLE AT AN ADULTS
LEVEL. THERE’S RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH BEING AN MC; AT F.O.G., WE ARE
CONCIOUS OF THIS FACT.
.
WHAT THAT MEANS MEANS IS
MULTI-ORBITTAL. (DIMENSIONAL, NOT ONE-SIDED) OUR LYRICS CONTAIN PRAYER,
CRITICAL THINKING, LOVE, FRUSTRATION, DIRECTION, SORROW, INVENTION, REPETITION,
HUMOUR, ANGER, STUDY...PLUS MANY MORE ADJECTIVES.
.
SO NATURALLY WE TAKE AN OFFENSIVE
POSITIONING, WHEN THESE TRUTHS AREN’T BEING RESPECTED, AND MOVE FORWARD ON
THESE ISSUES. AFTERALL, IT DOES OFFEND WHEN WE HAVE IMPOSTERS, UP HERE
CROSS-HATCHING RECORDS,(MEANING THEY DON’T WRITE AT ALL), AND THEN THESE SAME
EMBARRASSMENTS, MAKE THESE BOGUS VIDEOS, CLAIMING TO MC YO.
.
.
.
WEIGH WITH WORDS
OF
FORMS OF GENIUS
44:00 only 4 tracks ( split n freq and had to put the best)
1: Snare & Hats Hi Freq
2: Bass & Kick (Low Freq)
3: Bridge sample
4: Vocals
Amazing! So dope! To see one of the pioneers is…..Thanks! #trippinwithjeromestokes
they need to get RZA on here
That was incredible. I didn't plan on watching the whole 3 hours but it was too good to turn off.
Word Up! Very informative interview #edutainment
@1:24:24 Big Daddy Kane's "Raw" isolated drums come from the Bobby Byrd "Hot Pants... I'm Coming Bonus Beat" on the 1988 re-issue , so much beats were made from that vinyl, Marley just sampled it ;)
Legend dropping jewels. Respect.
23:00-24:50 Marley explains his contribution to Hip Hop and "the world".
He Cuts So Fresh
Marley!!!!
Thanks For Being You...
So sad, no one commenting here seems to understand anything about sample- and, later, loopbased hip hop production history.
Why not just listen, understand, and believe what the foundational force, being Marley Marl, has to offer to you here?
This here presented is the one and only true history on how everything started.
He is personified revolution.
What do you expect from a bunch of culture vampires? You think people who like to rewrite History really care about how shit started? They are gonna evenyually take everything he and any other hiphop pioneers tell them and switch it up, paint a white face on it and claim it as their own. Been doing that forever, why stop now. Marly Marl was great but in this moment talking to those people, he was an idiot.
@ 2:06:00, great advice! Libras tend to give the best council. Thnx #MarleyMarl
dj breakout was also already on TV saturday night live at the time marley met him
2:17:05, that was very much needed to be said.
Marley is so awesome.
amazing all i can say
You're blowin my fukin mind times a hundred, Marl!
love this! NOW - can you get a lecture from Mantronik?
We don't have a lecture with him yet, but you can read an extended interview here: daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2015/07/the-birth-of-mantronix
Marley Marle 👏👏👏🙌🙌💯💯💯💫⭐🌟🌟💫⭐🌟💺🥇🎲🎲🎹🎚️🎤📽️📹📼💿👑💣💣💣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇲
Rockin' with the man Marley Marl
Yep...especially with my $5 walkman & $5 bootleg hiphop cassette...{back in the day🗽}
Marley Sampled Captain Rock - Cosmic Blast Drums And Used Them On My Melody . Your Welcome 22:24
Thank you
Kane was the best on "The Symphony". Dude said the epic line "Put a quarter in your ass 'cause you played yourself..." One of the best lines in hip hop history. Kool G Rap definitely did his thing, but he came in a close 2nd place that day.
phillyrick hell yeah , G was way better than Kane ,and still is
The legend himself.
31:00 min Aleem - Release yourself (snare fr artofnoise its EQ & compressed)
@dinfluence30 And that drums sounds (hearded on Art Of Noise, "Shout" by Tears For Fears and "Beastie Groove" single) *were powerful sounds based on Oberheim EPROM Voice Cards called "Beat Kick" and "Beat Snare"* . Drumulator had the same sounds on EPROM called "Rock Kit".
25:19 Marl dont say which another track he used the sample of Art of Noise kick -snare but *he used on "The Tragedy" for Super Kids (1985) w a little Craig G* .
Also the bridge
the father of the sound we all love...marley is God of the sound we crave.."the bridge"
1:48:00
The album 14 Shots to the dome had amazing tracks and features...the slept on track for me was "Crossroads" though in my opinion...I felt that it was trying to replicate the sound and energy of "Momma said knock you out" but it failed to reach the audience.
Wooow...Im Impressed. Clear Your Samples! haha
Bons souvenirs!
All you NY Niggas are lucky to have a historian(s) right there...next to you. Giving you the blueprint for success.
Thanks for this......#HiphopHistory
Just go underground or local and make the shit you like. Fuck the markets and business and only involve yourself, so that you can make a comfortable living. If you cant, then just do it as a hobby or side job until you get yourself off the ground with it.After that, it doesnt matter. Play what makes sense to you. Make shit that's universal. Don't confine yourself to a market. Don't label yourself as a market because you arent. You're a person and an artist first and foremost and that's how you should be treated. The only major idea I disagreed with Marl in this one. You have to have a basic plan of course and know where you think you're headed. Just don't corner yourself under one label is all I am saying. There still are no rules. We still have free will and that is everlasting and ever-changing. We can make what we want because we are what made the market and major labels. Not the other way around. Its all love with music and if something starts to replace that, then cut that shit quick. You can still push boundaries and get your name out there by being the one thing everyone else is not; yourself, who can add a different flavor or rules to a genre as a result of being a 1 of 1 human being. And that's some real shit. Everything else is white noise.
Amen!!!
Wo too much history
Of hip hop. Dope..
This is awesome..
@1:50:15
Ladies and Gentlemen... Nasty NAS!
