The Making Of Drake's "Passionfruit" With Nana Rogues | Deconstructed
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 11. 2017
- Drake scored a ton of hits from his March playlist More Life, but none were bigger than “Passionfruit.” The song peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was inescapable this spring, thanks in part to its laid back vibe courtesy of London-based producer Nana Rogues.

“Clouds in a jungle filled full of love, but not love from a girl, love from life and appreciation” ..god that makes my heart all warm and happy ..like that’s the exact feeling I get from this beat and it’s so amazing.
Sean O'Connor this man is a therapist
I also felt that deeply
I love it!! the description is great!!
Sean O'Connor i fr thought i was the only one
I literally described this to my friends before seeing this video and they all looked at me funny I can’t believe me and the producer of the song had the same feeling about this song
Aye we gotta give Genius Props for being the ONLY ones showing love to producers bruh
stg
Seriously
MassAppeal too with RhythmRoulette but yeah, producers definitely need more love.
Producers get hella love all the time what you talking about
Wavy Jayy See rappers sometimes just steal beats and don’t even add the “PROD. (producer name)” in their song title. I bet u didn’t even know who had made this beat in the video. and that’s what I mean rappers think producer are like slaves or some shit but without producers what would they be? Like that playboi song “Magnolia” Pierre got some clout just cuz that tag “yo Pierre you wanna come out here” without that his name would’ve never been noticed.
I can’t be the only one that revisits this video here and there, shit is such a vibe
always
Im one off theme, Its just a whole vibe
I fall asleep to this shit
So fkn true haha
ur not, i do to
This has to be one of the best beats I’ve ever heard. It’s nothing insane to make. It’s simple. but it’s put together so perfect. This beat will always remind me of a certain place and time in my life and I can’t thank Nana and Drake enough for blessing us all with such an absolutely incredible piece of timeless music.
Feel no ways. When I listen to that I'm immediately transported 4 years back to my 2nd year of uni, sitting at my desk smoking a joint. I can actually smell my house bruh.
Hear, hear!
Which time in your life? Summer 2017?
Findlay Walker I should’ve just ignored your comment instead of listening to that noise

He has a calm energy. It's reflected in Passionfruit.
Preach
Low-key the best genius deconstructed episode ever
Eric Song this and the redbone one

Don't forget the Ratatat x Kid Cudi episode! So good
Dark Knight Dummo
I was looking for this comment!! Fr!! 🔥
This mans just delivered one of the most god like instrumentals of all time, passionfruit is timeless, just pure music.
Drake got carried by the beat. The beat is the only good thing about the song
@@certified9104 nah drake did his thing, brought a great melody that matched the beat, I’ll admit the beat was the best part ab the song tho
fr
You really need to expand your musical horizons. There’s SO much to be heard. This is a great tune but there’s an entire genre of this stuff
The deconstructed videos make me appreciate music so much..
This is one of the best series on youtube right now.
I just liked this comment to take it out from 666 likes.. "Thank me later".. Get it? Drake.. Thank me later? No? Ok fine.. 😂
I would rephrase that and say it makes me appreciate "producers" more. I can't begin to imagine how many kids this series is impacting creatively to become our next generations hit /great music makers.
blessings!
SHARKY NO WAY BIG FAN
This was the most relaxing video ever, this guy is so down to earth & his voice is soothing.
Lol
its the vibe he gives off, he just seems like a very genuine dude
Wayment
no homo my man
It’s called being british
i swear to god this is the most chill beat ever
Facts
Cuz they stole it from Benny Sings - Passionfruit. Melody, lyrics even the song title lmaoooo
Bandicoot drakes more life (which included passion fruit) came out in 2017, Benny sings passion fruit, which came out in 2018, is a cover of drakes song. Get your facts straight before you spread misinformation on the internet
@@jordan59961 yh im a retard i forgot to delete rhis comment lmaoooo
@@bandicoot248 bruh this has got to be the dumbest comment I have ever read
You can listen to this song only in :-
- early morning (i'm talking about sunshine at 6 am)
- sunset at 6:30 pm
- late night when the city is empty and flashy like 2 am
i used to play this song in my room after i came back home from school to chill down
syamiel. Or just when this is the vibe
you goddamn right dude
or every time hahaha its just a vibe
Who are you and how do you know when I play this song?
dam. this is like one of the most chillest episode
Dat u fake dat
Dat 😂
Dat stop botting likes
Nigga is CZcams where you live holy shit.
That’s what I’m saying bro it’s so nice one of the most soothing chill relaxed videos I’ve ever watched
This dude's voice is so soothing
Hes so quiet tho, I have to turn my volume up to 100% lol
nickability I'm on 60% you need to 🚮 Apple
I want to call him and talk about his day
I think if he starts singing in a smooth baritone voice I'd bet you'd swoon!!!
British accents are so soothing tho. That’s what I actually love about being British.
i’d let this man narrate my life.
The flute took the beat 🔥🔥
Definitely it really stands out 👌🏼
yess!!!!
He is such a humble dude and gives off a positive vibe,Much respect
how does this have no replies in 2 years what
itsab 😂 well it finally does haha
Facts
The intro lowkey beautiful. made me shed a tear
Joey Beardy for real tho
Ur soft
6hunnid66 lol shut up u fucking clown 😂
arjun thind lol
Mad extra
It must be a beautiful world in this man’s head
*everyone gangsta until passionfruit comes on*
this was so chill
Maxxs ikr. His voice and entire vibe matches the beat.
He is genius. Vibe of this beat is amazing🔥🔥
Well, he definitely played a lot of Donkey Kong Country 2, the beat looks so similar to how a DK soundtrack would sound like.
Its pretty mediocre to me. No one will care about this song in 5 months
+Shane LaRue You're just hating and you have no taste in music so stfu
Kebab1339 I'm not a fan of the song as a whole. But I love the beat. This guy is a genius.
Shane LaRue bitch fuck you. The songs beat is dope
By far the best beat I've ever heard in my life. So soothing.
Same
Same
I love seeing producers having an actual vision of their instrumentals. So many producers just kinda luck their way to a killer track but this guy had inspiration and followed it. I like him.
This has to be one of the best instrumentals I've heard in a awhile
Can't wait till y'all hear me 😤
Tim Beats Productions
Why you self-promoting? 🙁
Now Try j Coles no more role modelz

Hello Tay Keith, ruffle this boys feathers
Exactly
OBVIOUSLY YOU NEVER HEARD SHAKE DAT ASS BY JUICEE FROOT... TAY KEITH A BEAST
@@theylove_juice nobody likes mumble rap buddy
Stuff like this is so inspiring. Imagine just making a beat not knowing what's going to happen with it, and suddenly it becomes the body of one of the biggest songs of one of the biggest artists.
If you love something, put your all into it. Master your craft and then show it to the world; nothing is greater than being able to do what you love and get paid for it while also presenting that love to the rest of the world.
Alex Fairgood very well said king much love and more life to you
I've always been in love with this beat, it's so tropical and just has that good vibe and makes me feel so good.
K ronaldo
same 🖤
the lyrics make it a lil sad boy song on the low
These producers are heroes. For people who use music as an outlet, it all comes from people like this who create this with their own talent. Amazing.
Y'all can't tell me you're not obsessed with 6:12. I love the original, one of my favorite basslines and songs of all time, but I would have absolutely loved to see the full version of this one. I'm in love with funky and groovy rhythms and this one gives me the chills
those vocal chops tingle the senses
I’ve tried to message and email nana rogues to ask him to release the original edit of the beat I want that version so bad
@@danielnoble5608 I will work along with you to try to get it at least on CZcams! Just that one bit!! I want it so bad too!!!!
@@acousticnext2564Yes omggg! the way they kind of start off long and drag out but immediately cut off with the heavy autotune-wave-ish sound! I'm obsessed.
@@danielnoble5608 if anyone makes any progress on this i wanna know!!! that version needs to be made by someone somehow even if it isnt from nana himself!
5:00 Dude just made the Hold On We're Going Home beat in 5 seconds
not to mention Lykke li rivers
@@noWoodsman yes
"And by the grace of God it became what it became." 🙏🏽
Yo Kanye I’m from the future, you’re a legend but why did you piss on your grammy
@@dremmz 😂
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy
Couldnt have been a better ending to such a beautiful video.
I have nothing against samples and I think they're great when manipulated to make a fire track. But I find it so cool that this was off the top from his own mind. I truly feel the vibe he was trying to get with passionfruit
for real nothing but real musical talent
Same here I woulda thought this shit was sampled because it sounds so clean and unique.
Nah he stole the vice city theme beat.
SaveenieD ? i understand were hes comin from tbh
The flute really is iconic, that's the golden touch which sets the whole thing apart
This process never ceases to amaze me. Without producers, 100% of these songs wouldn’t be as big as they become
well obviously because you need a producer to make a song
thats like saying none of these cars wouldve been made without engine manufacturers😆
God I love these videos. It would be amazing to have a video about producers talking about songs from the 70’s’s and 80’s.
That would be dope!
jdc37162 yoooooo somebody give this man 1k likes
there are lots of documentaries and behind the studio clips that explain how producers made huge hit albums back then. Just try your luck googling the name of the record and “behind the album” or something like that.
I feel like passionfruit was passionfruit before Drake came and made it passionfruit
OVO huh .? What Joshua said was facts tho
OVO you don’t even know who Roy woods is .
OVO All I meant was that the beat feels like something called "Passionfruit" before Drake came and made the song. I like his softer music more than his aggressive rap, usually.
Y’all to serious. Get outside some time
"by the grace of God, it became what it became" - Amen
1:13 NOBODY GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS PIANO RIFF 😩
one of the Best deconstructed
Jaivardhan Singh nah Ludwig was.
Jaivardhan Singh Not one of the best. This is the best.
Everytime i listened to this song i always wondered how it was produced
me tooo
i was saying this nigga should be a genuis, and i found out that he really is.]
Well now u know!
Same. I googled who produced it but no answers came up
Dude!! And here I thought it was a sample or something!
Absolutely majestic. Ok, he's not a mad man. Years later, and still, this song resonates. Perhaps the ultimate summer jam 👌
Chris Abreu timeless classic so beautiful
im a bit late but thing song is just beautiful. when i first heard it, i was in a plane and it was around sunset but everyone was really quite, most are sleeping even, and i was scrolling down the music section and i came across drake’s album specifically this song. i loved it so much to the point where i just sat there for the rest of the 9 hour flight and just listen to THIS song. it really did took me to the clouds and made me feel things i didnt know i could
sameeee idk what it is about having heard it on a plane but the energy is so nostalgic and euphoric
Sameee w the plabe
The key alone sounds like it came straight out of minecraft's peaceful soundtrack
Brad Pacific I’ve been trying to tell all of my friends but they won’t fucking listen to me. Minecraft had one the greatest video game soundtracks of this generation
One of not the
K DYNMT fr
K DYNMT it does get sampled on the low
Who else is going to go listen to passionfruit after this??
C I️ was gonna like your comment but then I️ saw your profile and it’s dumb
Tryna find the instrumental really but the song still go
C its a must.smh this breakdown gives it a new meaning like the 1st time hearing it.
you already know
Me lmao
3:56 it sounds like something straight outta minecraft lmfao
wow it does lool
My favorite Drake song, I personally think its his best, mainly due to this sound. Kudos to this guy and whoever else worked on the production, it's a very unique and beautiful sound.
Me too
This dudes a beast. Super talented. Seems like a chill guy that you’d wanna hang with too lol what a G
That Flute is sick. . .
This instrumental is so euphoric you can close your eyes and you’ll end up floating through different dimensions and so many feelings and emotions that’s what music is all about
Only a guy with that soothing, calming talking voice could come up with such a calming track
Facts brvh 🔥🔥🔥
Can you just talk to me about clouds before I go to sleep?
the layering of the claps and snares, pitch bending the flute and adding distortion to it were genius. serene simplicity. beautiful song
With all these buttons and switches, I think flying a plane is much easier lol
Reason is kinda crazy xD
You are right
Nah it isn't that complex, I mean if you take time to learn stuff...
saket naik yeah fax, it’s literally passion and consistency
Jake Brown I see what you did there 😂
"so basically, when I made the beat I was thinking of clouds" bro, this is heaven in my ears
Goddamn when I first listened to this song I was high with a couple of friends in a car and one of my homies was bumping Drake's new album. We were chilling in an In N Out parking lot high out of our minds and all of a sudden we hear this shit and we all just went silent and I swear we all just sunk into the leather seats and for the next 5 minutes we were in heaven. Literally felt like I was in the clouds which is exactly what Nana wanted and I have to say, it fucking worked.
Church.
YES, music is literally 12928192 x’s more magical when you’re lit
I love this
DantemiaClub hahahahaha
Is Genius starting to make ASMR vids??
TheStan98 if Letty does it then I'm down for it 100%
I swear I can go to sleep while listening to this
TheStan98 for real
Lmao
WAT IS ASMR ?
drake had a good performance in passion fruit, don't get me wrong, but the main and basically only reason i come back to this song and love it so much and for what it is, is because of the instrumental. it has a weirdly very nostalgic and calming vibe, a nice tropical one too. absolutely love it
Man NEED the version at 6:12 🤢
RIGHT
Fr, fr.
Lmk if y’all found the best like that
i came to the comments to ask for it hahha, does my man not have a sound cloud where this is on or smth LOL
I think that would have been a amazing fade out to the songs end.
i like his vibe
Right its really chill
I feel like the beat just literally describes him it’s just so chill
This feels like the type of song to play in your head after you had a rough night in the bar and you just wanna meet someone that could change your life forever
5:45 man when it all comes together it sounds AMAZING !!! Man is talented
Finally a british guy cmonnnn
He's an African that lives in England
Conquering Lion people like you give me violent tendencies
He's British when he is doing something amazing but African when he is not.
he was born in london so he is as english as winston churchill
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Where does all this creativity come from like fr??
emanndaman talent musical genius and probably some weed lol
@@thriift840 perfect answer lmao
Constant hustle
The mind of us artists are on a different wave, color pallet, frequency
honestly,when you make a beat and you are feeling the vibe the possibilities are endless.
I always come back to watch this video....
I watched this when it first came out. 3 years later I keep going back. 2:53 is my favorite part
Back again
I don't even want to be a producer and I love watching these deconstructed videos. Music producers are amazing. Thanks Genius for making these videos possible.
Wow, if I ever get bored of FL Studio, I'm definitely gonna try Reason. DJ Toomp & Key Wane also use Reason, and their beats always sound unique. That flute really set it off.
audiodopebeats be ready to get hella vst's cuz they have barely any stock sounds...and the ones they do have are shit
+SnaKeS Music you got any links?
audiodopebeats Reason is mad slept on, i fucking love it
reason is def dope but what makes the sound is not the DAW in any way.
Using a different DAW doesn’t mean you’ll make better beat.
Genius out here making Short films about Beats lmao
TheRealdealdude2 producers are underrated
TheRealdealdude2 without beats there’s no artist
Mario Garcia nah they coexist. This is the producers era tho. Some rappers don’t need a beat and just go in with flow but that’s a small group that does this.
Juan Leyva but it’s what always brings attention and keeps the artist seeming like they’re always bringing something new to the table. I listen to rap battles and a cappella’s all the time but they get boring right away. Without the music, there wouldn’t be any point of listening to an artist for longer than the first couple times. They do coexist, yet without the music, the artist doesn’t flourish, but the music can always stand alone.
Short films about geniuses I would say
3:17 Layered Pattern
4:13 High Hats
4:25 Kick drums
5:33 Flute
6:32 The masterpiece
I occasionally go back to this video to just enjoy the soothing vibe
This guy is so positive love the energy
I feel this guy on an emotional level. Like the vibes thing, that's what drives me to do music
Uncle Pluto TRIP LEE ON UR PROFILE :)
Nice pic
This is real producing. This is the beauty of art in music creating. there’s not a lot of people like this. Respect ✊🏽
This song makes me cry in my mind, this melody and beat makes so emotional
Yup 💜
this dude is chill asf
This is the best deconstructed video I have ever watched.
He has a charismatic aura to him and it's amazing, seems like a really humble and loveable guy
I was nodding yes every single time he explained a step of the concept of this amazing euphoric song, such creativity and talent, mad props to this guy.
It's kinda sad how music geniuses like this guy never get the deserved credit for their work
The One Who Knocks they are 80% of all these rappers success
ummm they kinda just did.......... with this video???? right?
Justin Caseaccessories Think about how big of a song passionfruit was, this video definitely isn’t enough credit.
@@justincaseaccessories6972 real credit would be having his name right there in the song's title alongside drake
It's actually comforting that the UK still has decent producers
Uncle Pluto You're sleeping
Tha Swami Wait how
You're seriously sleeping man.
Heavytrackerz and splurgeboys make sick beats
love your profile pic bro
There are countless British producers who are all killing it whether it's grime, garage, drill, hip hop, drum and bass, bassline etc etc etc. You're definitely sleeping bro.
Thank you man for making one of my favorite songs of all time .. endless relaxation and positive vibes every single time .. you created a masterpiece.
imagine making a song that is loved by a lot of people and is played in malls, subways, etc. and you see other people listening to it.
I will be on here one day. I appreciate genius for the deconstructed series
N-I-N-E I️ say this all the time
Good luck for when you make it bro
We’ll be waiting bro. Keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t stop
Me too bro, like this shit really gets me going leeets go
I will too so
6:10 *MY FAVORITE PART!! I WANT A VERSION WITH THAT ADDED!!!*
SAME
I NEED THAT VERSION ASAP
Yup I need that too.
Exactly
Truth
Major respect on Nana Rogues. This track is so specific and the feeling it gives is something not every producer is able to bring out in their work. Phenomenal job. ⭐️
the feeling he wanted to deliver was RECEIVED. this song forever reminds me of in the moment feelings and appreciation. so in love with what this producer shared with everyone..
I felt that cloud feeling when this came out. I was driving to Austin for SXSW and it felt like I was floating on air. Really great vibes, and the long drive back home made it better. Really got to sit with the song.
why didn’t Drake make a music vid for passionfruit? I need visuals to go w this amazing beat
Mind peeping our recent lofi rhymes ;)
Sadly we can only get the commercial with his dad and Nicole Murphy lol
I am actually thinking about filming some of my local flora and fauna to play this song over. im already in the carribean so i hope i get some good shots.
this aint a promise btw. i just really feel like doing this
MIDD-Night Club
good luck!
Because he wants people to make their own visual in their head, and not forced an artistic direction. That's why he doesn't make a lot of music videos.
6:27 " by the grace of God" he humble . mad respect for him
That flute is like a beautiful alien string instrument, it's so genius and unique
Dude this beat is just so chill that you wanna just vibe to the song. 🙌🏼
Yo that breakdown would've been fuckin fire I'm mad that didn't make it to the final song
Taj Bratton fr now I want that instrumental, damn.
it's 2019 and I'm coming back to this for inspiration. Every time I'm "uninspired" I always make it back to this video.
This guy is chill. The groove shows this. great vibe and nice breakdown of how it was made, thanks for this chilled episode!
So much emotion in this beat, wonderful
This beat is just amazing and because of it, we got a great Drake song and a divine Yaeji song! Just brilliant!
what's the divine Yaeji song?
TheHarvster yaeji - passionfruit
A chill dude with a chill voice with chill philosophies produces ultra chill beats
bro didn't even know he was making memories for millions with that flute 5:25 music is beautiful 🙏🏼
