- Young Thug’s latest project ‘On the Rvn’ closes with the fan favorite track “High.” The song features a guest appearance from Elton John, sampling the English pop legend’s vocals from his 1972 hit “Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time).” The idea originated from the track’s producer Stelios, who was inspired to make the beat after reading about John’s appreciation for Thug’s music in a 2015 ‘Noisey’ interview.

This dude is insanely swift on the keyboard so impressive
I was thinking the same thing!!
leave it to him to ruin an amazing Elton John song tho
At 1st I thought it was sped up lol. Pretty Impressive!
@@hamschh boomer?
@@hamschh shut up

🤯🤯
MajinSauce i see u bruh 😂
My boy
MajinSauce Fr fr
Nah I was waiting on this since the song came out who wouldn't wanna know this
One of the best episodes you released. Dude is really creative and he actually put in work, compared to some of the other producers on here.
💯💯💯💯
“I put it in gross beat and used half speed, added a kick, a snare and the hats and I was done”
you forgot the "my dude sent me this loop"
Lewis Dyson ifkr.
axelDota hahahahaha bro fr
Bruh Thug's music grows on you .. I used to dislike the guy but after you listen to a few tracks🔥🔥🔥🔥, you start to like them.. Just me?
Kung-Fu Kenny Family nah fam. I was like that too at first. This nigga Thug one of the Goats and im glad he showed me the way💯🔥🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
Yeah same. Even if he wears dresses I’ll fuck with him
what part of sausage fattener do you not understand ? lmao
I always preferred rich homie over thugga but now thugga be making masterpieces like this
Thug Been Dat
I was so confused as to how the hell they made this with an Elton John song of all things. One of the best sample flips of 2018.
Deconstructed is the best series on CZcams, No cap!
Great song, this Elton Jhon dude is about to blow up
@@fitch4067 young thug wasn't even alive 40 years ago and you want me to believe that this elton dude blew up before him?? lol the only reason people talk about this guy is because thugger put him on the map
@D'nisovich r/woosh
@@fitch4067 it’s a fucking joke dumbass
@@fitch4067 I literally have never seen anyone more unaware in CZcams ever
@@colonelsanders1621 it’s a joke
The fact that Elton John and Young Thug is in the same song is still out of my comprehension
Now we have Frank Sinatra sampled on a Logic song. Welcome to the future.
This man is literally a genius
stelly make tha beat knock
AND IM GOING BE HIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHHHH
*(I'M A ROCKET MANNNNNNNNN 🚀)*
Every Genius Deconstructed video is like getting a gift from the mail. It's a blessing, and more than an experience to see how music is unraveled like a delicate present.
I’m dead this guy is a legend
Bruh why u put white boy bangs on LeBron
Michael Mills wdym? It’s my natural hair.
sure it is lol
@@indistructible420 sUre iT iS
people don’t realise how special this is. this is a fucking blessing🔥
Ona Ebodaghe you copy cat
young thug one of the greatest artist of this generation.
Jackson Whitley NO 🧢
He's a musical genius
And most people don’t realize it
People dont know geniuses till theyre gone...van gouh, Galileo etc
THE GREATEST *
Oh he a PRODUCER producer
What song should we do next?
Logic- 44 more
anything on astroworld plssssssssss
Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pool
astrothunder
If yall could somehow get Pharrell one one of these that would be amazing.
Young thug is easily one of the most influential artist of our generation.
Not really. Most people dont even know who he is beyond that one hit song he had years ago. People throw around the words "influential" "genius" "icon" "legend" so easily now that they have no meaning anymore
I would rather say Lil Wayne is one of the most influential artists as he influenced Young Thug a hella lot
EenMagnetron respectable opinion
@@hamschh nigga quit hating
@@hamschh you're an idiot. He is. It's undeniable at this point. Nearly every new artist, from trippie redd, yung bans, lil uzi, lil baby, gunna, playboi carti, juicewrld etc acknowledge him as the goat or their inspiration. Thats not even scratching the surface - i could go on forever
thugger is one of the greatest ARTIST of this decade
*of all time
this aint it chief
No cap dude got unlimited melodies and getting acknowledged by a legend like Elton John tells you something 💯
_This is beautiful, Thankyou Genius_ 🔥
Dude just spoke 5 Whole minutes of Chinese to me 😂 Production has truly changed...I mean Grown..Truly Grown 🏄🏾🌊
lmao
honestly, as a beginner trying to get into production, this sounds like a completely different language lol. I can't wait till I start getting it tho
"Sausage fatner"
Facts
Genius be like "😏"

2:36 Sounds like Elton falling off a cliff 😂😂😂😂
This song is so fucking beautiful. Such an innovative recreation
Elton John recorded a demo called Rocket Man for Young Thug to finish almost 50 years later.
Guy is hella talented and im hyped he gave Alex a shoutout too
1:53 wtf dude are you ok?

Finally, another producer who knows what he's doing.
My favourite Deconstructed episode just because how authentic the guy is!! Big ups!!

Hell yeah
Future Classic 👌
why'd y'all take the rip screw and carousel videos down?
This is fire and a great breakdown and explanation as well!
Probably one of the best Songs in 2018!!
High is right next to Codeine Crazy as one of the most beautiful rap songs I’ve heard.
I’ve been sleeping on this song 🔥🔥🐍🔥
Yall the Goat for this
Super groovy, and vibe man! Stelios.
Best Deconstructed bar none. I learned so much about music just from watching this.
I hope this series never ends... what an inspiration
As a first hand SLIME-Rocketeer, I confirm this shit slaps
This track is legendary
0:44 got our asses😓
Young thug > Mozart
we watched a true genius at work... im a fan, Stelios!
A very nostalgic and beautiful song. Ableton Gang.
The production behind this is crazy... good fucking job to stelios
I respect this series so much cause this series got me into making beats🔥
One of the best episode of deconstructed for sure
Great to see a fresh take on sampling old records. Thanks for explaining the process!
This was a masterpiece. Now we need Tiny dancer or I’m still standing by thugger
All I can say is “damn , good fuccccin work “ now I’m finsta get higggggghhhhhhhhhhh
Damn the crossover is real with the plug-ins between EDM and "Trap"
This is one of my favourite episode and song
Best series on CZcams
always excited to see a new deconstructed vid😆
the most masterful trap recording of all time
AMA ROCKEEEEEEEEET MAAAAAAN
This was a really good episode. Thanks for this.
we need pierre bourne on genius
I love how they reached out to a greek producer
I swear this was one of my fav tracks first heard on spinrilla man i went crazyyy
This is one of my favorite young thug songs of all time, now it make sense it was perfectly sampled
The best collab of the millenium in any field of artistry.
Change my mind...
Best deconstructed episode I've ever seen on genius
So nice to see father and son come together❤️
Props first to Stelios. Thug’s raps on the track are good but this production is fuckin dope. This beat could’ve been given to Wiz or somebody else and it would’ve been different but still dope.
I cried listening to this
What a beautiful piece of music created
Bruh this was GENIUS
I think putting the Producers links in the description would be great so we can check out their other music and connect! Great episode !!
Or you can just google them on your own and let them become their own brands.
Come on, that's the least you cand o if you want to "connect".
Please upload more video of deconstructed...... Love it ❤️❤️
RE-UPLOAD RIP SCREW DECONSTRUCTED

I‘ve been waiting on this Video
This is the best shit created
Literally one of the most iconic link ups EVER.
This is one of the best produced song ever.... Stelios is really a GENIUS!!! ❤🙌
And that's why Ableton is the Go to DAW for Warping samples...Kenny Beats, Alexander Lewis, Lophiile, Ramzoid, Downtime...all these producers use Live. Ya'll really sleeping on a powerful DAW for sure. This really opened my eyes production wise...thank you Genius!
Yoo this man fucking proved the simplicity is genius.
SUPER GEEKED!
Young Thug us the greatest artist if this generation. You really have to have a genius and creative mind to really appreciate Young Thug. 100 years from now Young Thug's music will be playing everywhere
I had to rewind at 1:56. Not sure what happened but I was impressed
I always loved Genius' videos cause they are inspiring to future producers man!...
Yo this is the definition of producing
Aprreciate the gem on how to link audios with reverse
this was dope and too see so much work in a song that didnt sound like it needed much done to turn oout this awesome is dope!
love hiphop so much!
Young thug one of the goats to this generation. He made the sound for a lot of these new rappers. And lil Wayne because he influenced thugs sound
You can always tell the true creative ones in this series from the loop flipping niggaz. This dude got it 💯
Bless all of them
This series us soo high quality, that i don't even need to know the song when i watch deconst video.
