DJ Quik is just like Dr Dre, all they do is lay the drums and mix later on, the rest is played by musicians like keyboards, guitar and bass etc. DJ Battlecat does it all by himself not to mention the talkbox!!@@SpikedCollar666
I honestly think battlecat's beats are better than dre's. The beats that are on the radio now just arent as complex as they were. Now they're really simple... not to take anything away from them because I do think they are catchy but it seems like anyone nowadays can put a beat together in 10 minutes and talk about their suicide doors and making it rain and they have a hit. Watching this man work is a pleasure. Great producer, great beats, great talent.
Nah you are definitely not right, that's just different, i think that there were people in 90,00 who were saying the same words you wrote about beat making at all comparing to earlier times
@@DS-fj8fh Are you serious? Those are augsperger speakers... they make everything knock. That combined with the dope ass samples he’s playing on the MPC 3000 🔥
i found this video 10 years ago and was juiced some of his studio time had been immortalized. been comin back to it every year. Most underrated producer, but highly appreciated by those that know that G-Funk.
BattleCat is a beast! I'm not from the west coast but I been a big fan of his for a while. I recognize true talent when I see it and I don't think he get's the recognition he should get.
Swear to God, sonically, them Eastsidaz albums had the same clarity the Chronic 2001 had, had my kickers knocking, still blown away by the clarity of it all lol, convinced me to start producing
💯 💯 💯! Battlecat seems to be on the same level as dre, as far as the mastering process goes. All his beats are super crystal clear 👌🏽. They're more into the sonic details than the actual beat
12 and a half years later and it just does not get old. Still criminal that this never dropped as a song or even just full instrumental beat. That steel drum OH MY GAWWWWD
It will never matter how the sound of music will cycle over the years, where some sound is hot and in for some period and than back to another, because this is solid and will always no matter what time it is. Man I keep coming back to Battlecat's videos and as always I'm amazed by how good the sound is. Battlecat should get more recognition than he's getting. He capturing the west coast sound totally perfect!
Anybody else got about 62 secs in and was like " ...nah mah nigga... If this is where he START... i gotta hear where this go!!!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 u caint squeez out no more west coast than what battlecat gih u. #legend
This is SOOOO inspiring y'all! Probably the best beatmaking video I've ever seen. Blows my mind every time I watch it! Thanks for the lessons, BattleCat!
watched this so many times. he a G. any young producers watching its all about creating a groove a feeling, you can have all the best sounds and software but if you miss that step you will be forever searching
erm, this is the earliest verson of Soul Plane's soundtrack im pretty sure i liked this version much more edit: not sure if its the actual soundtrack but you can hear this beat at the end of the movie
I bet the 53 people that dislike video are taylor swift, and jonas brothers fans. lol Cat is one of the most underrated producer. To make a beat from scratch is pretty sick as well as difficult. Any one who can appreciate west coast music should also appreciate battlecat being one of the west coasts pioneers in hip hop music.
In terms of creativity, I honestly think he's one of the best to ever do it.
DJ QUIK IMO
Yea he and quik best muthafucka beat makers they beats is so dope and fire
Quik is good but battlecat has crazy chops. Quik be getting other musicians to lay down his ideas that he can’t play himself.
DJ Quik is just like Dr Dre, all they do is lay the drums and mix later on, the rest is played by musicians like keyboards, guitar and bass etc.
DJ Battlecat does it all by himself not to mention the talkbox!!@@SpikedCollar666
You cannot even compare them to Dr Dre
Quik + Battlecat = West Coast
HB Stone that'll be a great collab
Cold 187um dj unknown daz johnny j soopafly pooh
You’re forgetting Daz
Warren G has something unexplainable that makes his G funk pure Mesmerizing and Westcoast.
dre quik battlecat

Thats a lie
It is among people who know
Fr I be saying the same thing .
He is the west coast
U need new friends
I saw this a million times. Never gets old. Classic....pioneer of the game
That beat is like a chick in a makeup tutorial video- went from basic to baddie in a hurry!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
i found this video 10 years ago and was juiced some of his studio time had been immortalized. been comin back to it every year. Most underrated producer, but highly appreciated by those that know that G-Funk.
Gd'Up - Snoop Dog and Tha EastSidaz . My favourite song from Battle Cat
Mine might be Cali Is Active, but G’d Up & Getto Jam are a close second and third
I luv it was my favorite i first heard it while skating
BattleCat is a beast! I'm not from the west coast but I been a big fan of his for a while. I recognize true talent when I see it and I don't think he get's the recognition he should get.
Makes me proud to be from the LBC. And wherever you're from, we on the westcoast appreciate the love fam.

I don't understand why this never got released, one of the best bass lines out there. PLEASE RELEASE THIS!!! I'll kickstarter that shit.
Battlecat has a such a soulful G funk style
I bopped my head the whole five minutes non stop. Damn he is good.
Haha realized me too when you said it! :D ?!
my neck hurts!
Elias Bekele lol this will definitely make ya neck hurt
The Zapp song on the turntable he uses for inspiration is "Dancefloor".
12 and a half years later and it just does not get old. Still criminal that this never dropped as a song or even just full instrumental beat. That steel drum OH MY GAWWWWD
I learned not to quantize my beat it gives it the hip-hop swing feel, hip-hop is gumbo
Hip-Hop & It Don't Stop fasho
real talk
I quantize the hell out of my shit because I'm a lazy ass fool
@@SurgeCess LMAO, if it works do it!!!
Same
Sound like Battle Cat was in the Studio with Zapp!!!!!!! That's real rap....
Tray dee and goldie loc would kill this
Compton General on h60d crip tray dee n Goldie loc would murder dis
Their type of beat
Blueface will murder that hands down you dig Lmfaooooo jk
Jason Hill lol
I feel you, but i wanna hear I Smooth 7 on that beat
WHENEVER I NEED INSPIRATION I COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO TO GET MY VIBE ROLLING!!!! DJ BATTLE CAT LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!!!
The master of Westcoast G-Funk beats he turns into something else when in the studio..that scratch is on point👌
he is one of those producer who looks for the sound in the sounds he is playing until he finds the groove, good shit

Guys a master crafter. It’s ridiculous. Just incredible.
I’ve been watching this video for the past 14 years and it is still one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Iconic.
I always said BattleCat more westcoast than Dre.
+King Jaffi Joffa Dre used ghost writers and ghost producers.. Not like Battlecat, who does it himself.
King Jaffi Joffa Dre was a woman beater and Cube wrote his raps
who is Dre?
80siix Dr Dre one of the founders of NWA
never heard of him making good beats, do you know who SCOTT STORCH is? Its the man that makes the "dre" melodies
Who else still watching this in 2019?
Even when it's 2020 i still watchin' this
It will never matter how the sound of music will cycle over the years, where some sound is hot and in for some period and than back to another, because this is solid and will always no matter what time it is. Man I keep coming back to Battlecat's videos and as always I'm amazed by how good the sound is.
Battlecat should get more recognition than he's getting. He capturing the west coast sound totally perfect!
Man i wish he would release more of his beats as instrumentals...
battlecat is the man
easily one of my top 5 producers
PURE TALENT
Battlecat is a legend,give his flowers while his here😼⚘
2022 and i still play this like it was a platinum hit
He needs to produce another BOO YAA TRIBE album 🔥
When that piano riff comes in... 3:50
Only reason why I watch the video 🎶🔥🔥
2019 and this is still on repeat.
I watched and listen this over and over again...
When Cat hit the turntable the whole beat flipped around, I watch this video once a week, since it came out 😂😂😂
This is what you call an eargasm.
Battlecat!! supplying the world with funky beats!!
Still watching in 2021. I love this video.
One of my favorite production videos.LEGEND!!
This that East Syder banger. Snoop,Goldie n Dee

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

#legend
Now this is one of the hardest from the west coast to do this. Extremely a master of his class, nothing hit like this no more, man!! Thank you!!
2:15-2:30 was an eargasm overload
man this is so dope, he's killing those keys and drums!
This is SOOOO inspiring y'all! Probably the best beatmaking video I've ever seen. Blows my mind every time I watch it! Thanks for the lessons, BattleCat!
2020 & it still slaps
battlecat 4 life westcoast finest

I'm here and bangin this in 2022 🔥
This was so clean , jesusss
Laitoya Williams would kill this beat

i keep coming back to this video every now and then since it was first published (before i started making music). never gets old. battlecat is the man

That dude cold!!
One of the best to do it. Where's he been at?
***** He had a heart attack i think man - read up.
TheRealDirtySkillz Yeah that was back in 2013.
+Luke James (Album Reviews) He's alive and well. I talked to him last week
Hyde Park & Crenshaw Glad to hear that! I feel he's an under-appreciated producer...or maybe I'm just getting old?
he workin on other shit like he been at the studio with snoop n shit for snoops newest album
maaaad!!! had me bouncin through out the whole video. Def add to my faves
Starting off 2021 with this
My fav from out west next to Quik, Daz, Johnny J (RIP),
Has anybody ever rapped on this?... Was it ever released? I NEED THIS SHIT CUZ!!... This nigga is a MONSTER
+lafucil daaaamn.....
erm, this is the earliest verson of Soul Plane's soundtrack im pretty sure
i liked this version much more
edit: not sure if its the actual soundtrack but you can hear this beat at the end of the movie
Is anyone aware if that beat made it to track?? If yes please share the name. This beat is ridiculous good
This never gets old I swear
Bruh the layers of different dounds he added to make this beat is so sick cat one of the greatest to ever do it!
The west coast Erick Sermon, very underappreciated. Pure dopeness!
Who else still watching this in 2019 🔥
One of my favorite Super producers!
Its a pleasure to watch this man work...a true westcoast legend
Who else is still watching in 2060 ?
anybody else wondering what the song is called or is this a beat he just made for fun.
A mad genius at work. ....dope!!!!!
I just had to say that the work you've done over the years has been excellent. G-Funk's finest...
How bout 2020? anyone still on it ?
Dude is a genius. Unlike most beat makers, this guy usually comes up with the beat instead of sampling.
he's like blakmaul super dope
The percussion loop was a sample G
He samples a lot actually just like any other producer out there he just does it in a clever way by replaying parts ect
absolutely on fire....one of the most underrated cats outthere!
Battlecat one of the pioneers and best to ever do it! Salute.
It’s 2020 and this beat harder than ever !
Who is watching this in 2023 ?
love how most of the sounds break for that bass note.... creativity at its finest!
Awesome Creative Freedom!! Great Work!!
Sucks that this isn't even a real song. One of my favorite beats from any producer. EVER!
2021 and still coming back to this 🔥🔥😆
Genius. Still holds up in 2019
I bet the 53 people that dislike video are taylor swift, and jonas brothers fans. lol Cat is one of the most underrated producer. To make a beat from scratch is pretty sick as well as difficult.
