#samplebreakdown #nas #djpremier #nasislike - Hudba
Premier: *I use the Nas to create the Nas*
Edit: "Nas is like life or death. I'm a rebel. My poetry's deep, I never fell. Nas is like, half man half amazing. No doubt." - Ghandi 2021
LMFAOOOOO
Hahaha ironic but true
chur
đđđ
Yeah it's called... Nas is like
premier took such small portion of the sample. Hes a genius
@@officialhb4794 bruh dont promote
this is beacause his machine just sample like 60s something like that.. thats genius shit!
@@alzate_dev he wished it had as much as 60s! Most classic premo beats were made on an sp1200 with max 10 seconds at full sample rate.. and max of 2.5 seconds per pad...even the mpc60 only had a max of 26seconds...we used to speed records up on the decks then slow them down in the sampler to increase sample time...but that made the samples dirtier all early producers were forced to chop samples into smaller chunks...whether they wanted to or not...necessity is mother of invention as they say :) the chopped up samples and dirty gritty audio quality is part of the beauty of "golden era" hip hop
This tells you about his workflow, going to try to play this game with some other good samples. Interested to know how he comes up with splits for his samples
its a dope beat but its not genius flip. the melody and the chops are right there. even on sp1200 with heavily limited sample time, this is not genius beat. its a really dope beat
Dj premier sampled nas own songs for another track of him. That's genuis
Eeeeh that's the most common thing in Old School hiphop...............
@@Skejtboard really... ok didn't know
@@davymugire8581 It wasnt for the "beat", it was for the scratch "chorus". Scratching different type of (mostly) hiphop songs for the chorus, including songs from the same artist, is one of the fundemental parts of boom bap. It's way easier nowadays though when you can scratch mp3's (or other files) with Serato, Traktor or other software but back then you had to have the real press. If you didnt have the acapella you filtered the song to your liking. Scratching is another artform in itself though.
DJ premier does this all the time
@@Skejtboard Facts... Can also be heard on a lot of Mobb Deep tracks with Hav sampling P
I wish more hip hop music today incorporated scratching. Hallmark of the 90s that deserves to come back!
It's one of the lost elements of hip-hop and I'll tell you why. It requires actual practice and skills, something this new generation severely lacks because they're lazy. They just jump on a mic and mumble some nonsense to a weak drumkit a baby could make with his rattle and these record companies label it hip-hop then this lazy generation just gobbles it up because that's what they've been programmed to like. You can't just jump on the wheels of steel and become a master the way you can just throw something down on your computer by accident and make a trap beat. You gotta have Skillz...
@@UndergroundRap4eva oldheads be like
@@UndergroundRap4eva If it's so easy, please do it. Also, scratching requires more skill than making a beat? since when
@@UndergroundRap4eva you never made a beat in your life
You forgot the chirping birds :) fascinating part of this beat that he made rhythm out of those birds in intro
Honestly what producer has successfully used chirping birds like primo. The dude is a certified genius.
@@sinetwo true, even j cole might have had influence to use the birds like primo did, he used birds on no role modelz
@@amrit-2865 thereâs a genius deconstructed of the producer that made no role modelz beat talking about how Cole made him put the bird sounds in that track, always makes me smile
The channel shows only the songs (mostly) that were used
@@sinetwotimbo in one in a million is the best bird sample in my opinion
I've listened to how producers have flipped hundreds(if not thousands) of samples and theres only three that I can't wrap my head around...this one(I have no idea how Premo heard the potential of a beat from this), second is Busta's Everything Remains Raw(Easy-Mo Bee said that beat was created from a ONE note sample, and he can't even explain how he thought to flip it like that), and third is my vote for the best sample flip of ALL-TIME, and that would be the Herbie Hancock sample for Shook Ones Pt. II(How Havoc thought to use that particular few seconds of piano and lower the pitch of the first few notes then slightly increase the pitch of the remaining notes to get that classic riff is a feat of sampling I almost can't comprehend. All I can say is Havoc is either a genius or he was just messing around pitching random records and stumbled across it by sheer luck. Either way, he has a great ear for catching it
Drugs. A lot of these cats were admittedly high on something.
If you slice the sample to time you can load it in the MPC with each slice assigned to a pad, then you can play the sample like a keyboard. It's not like he heard the sample and thought "I'm gonna slice it this way so that I can have these notes", it's more like he heard the sample and liked the instrument so decided to slice it and then jam out some ideas that sounded good.
@@Guerilla_G I absolutely agree with you to a large extent. Sampling is difficult but when you reverse engineer some of these and get into the process Most of the mysticism expressed by people that might not have tried it disappears. This one is not mystical at all for me.
It's like you said... isolate the part you want...Slice it up. The pitch shifting might be done afterwards. Beats by JBlack can be seen doing this literally in real time on the Mpc 2500. However i will say that some of these producers Havoc included and J Dilla, Primo etc do most definitely hear the arrangement before chopping. This I've read in interviews of people that worked with Dilla. He already Knew (at least sometimes) How he wanted the beat to sound before chopping it.
I think in the sampling community online and on CZcams this is an aspect of the art that is not spoken about at all.
It's like on the guitar there are people that know how they want the notes they play to sound before playing then and others lead with the fingers.
THC
one that amazes me more then this is Dont cry by Dilla thatâs the greatest sample chop of all time imo canât understand how he chopped it that way
Premier is a genius. Once in a lifetime
For anyone asking about the âforgetting birdsâ part of the song, itâs a Don Robertson sample from a jazz record. This John Rydgren and Bob way record theyâre showing here is a gospel record.
I am waiting for the Nas and Preemo album. Nas do it!
I remember reading an article on them like 15 years ago or something, maybe it was Scratch. They were supposed to do the album together. I donât know what theyâre waiting for!
@@Nickpetronio facts also didn't he want to do an entire dre produced album too? that would be bananas to do both nas and preemo or nas and dre omg đł
Considering how PRhyme turned out this could be very very good
@@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee I mean, we do have The Firm: The Album with Nas, AZ and Foxy Brown with Dre and the Trackmasters producing it
Illmatic features preemo atleast 3 times, no?
Premo is good at choppin certain parts in songs and making a chorus from it. he's done it many times and it always comes out good.
gold*
This Song opened my doors for Boom Bap wholheartedly - Thank you Premo and Thank you Nas - ONE LOVE
Premo is a goddamn genius it cannot be stated enough
I think "I Am" gave Nas his finest Preemo beats. NY State of Mind Part II is also a masterpiece and an example of a great sequel to an already iconic beat.
Man !!!! The Old school ms was art that can never be forgotten!!! The samples flipping techniques from the different songs of it!!! Like đ„đ„ Straight a Masterpiece from all the Sounds hell shout out to The Legend DJ Premier
DJ Premier - a true genius
Oh my god, this track still affects me so very strongly! I fell in love with it from day one, I still feel the same way!
And "It ain't hard to tell " by Nas which he has used to sample this song, is also sampled by using Michael Jackson's "Human Nature"
The Orchestrated version of Nas Is Like is so chilll
Absolutely a top 10 hiphop producer of all time. What a legend
Top 5

Dude Dj premier is of the most dope producers, I like how he always sampled classic songs to make awesome beats
Can't believe he was gonna throw it away đ Thank God he didn't đđ
Forgot the Biz Markie sample, and the Don Robertson one, too.
One of my all time favorite piece of loops. Thanks a for this!!!
One of the gr8est hip hop tracks of all time. Didn't realize how simple it was
I can only think of 2k20 when I hear this
It was in 2k18
Tracklib the mvp.
And the ânasâ at the beginning of the first hook is actually Biz Markie and heâs not even saying Nas - it is him saying ârecognizeâ and Premo chopped the ânizeâ
To me that's what makes the best super crazy how do you reaccount one word and then take the end of the work and chop to Nas, like how lol
cant forget the biz markie sample because of course nas has sampled biz. rip the cult underground classic legend
The first time I heard that song, it fucked up my brain because it was too perfect.
The best Nas song ever, at least in my opinion.
Always been one of my favorite Premo beats! So fire!
Oh my gosh thats crazy - the use of the pause is incendiary â€
i def like this type of editing with the samples as opposed to the newer style you guys have done, imo. All have been fantastic forsure.
this is so fucking cool
i goddamn love preemo
proud of me that i met dj premier in real life
Bruh fr ?
same!
first Nas song I ever heard. not his best. but will always have a special place in my heart
He sampled himself. Genius!
NAS AND PREEMO, GOATED.
When I feel down or need inspiration I can always come to this channel.
Yoo tracklib i would love to see a similar breakdown of Jay Z - So Ghetto. DJ Premiere samples pieces for the hook on that track too. One of my favorite Jay Z songs.
Preemo is a damn genius on whatever he produces.
Why am I just discovering this dope channel?
Dj premier is amazing
premier is a fcking genius, one of the best producers of all time!
This tickles my brain in all the right ways
Tracklib will really earn my respect if they can also identify the source material for the drums. đ
Wow this was awesome can't wait to see future breakdowns
Premier is god of music prod.
Pink 45 with a fish on it
going down the tracklib loophole once again

Love your videos.
bro your job it's just amazing
Premoâs a genius
Pure genius đŻđŻ
Da Boom Bap... Da Boom Boom Bap!
Impressive.
*subbed
nas out here sampling himself damn
Naah that's was a Preemo trick (who produced the song) he often pulled in back in the day of sampling artist's previous tracks when building producing tracks for rappers. He did the same for Jay Z, Biggie Mos Def & even Gang Starr if I'm not mistaken
wat
Yeah man thatâs a keeper.. but the graphics are on point also.
The legend sampled himself
PREMO goddamn
Damn premier
That's some genius shit right there đ„đ„đ„
Oh my god
Easy Breakdown
I was definitely not around when music like this was the forefront of Hip Hop and Rap, but looking back, this might be my favorite. DJ Premier's work is amazing.
DON'T GET ME WRONG! THIS IS CLASSIC!
nas sample himselfđâ€â€â€
Premo đ„
0:30 Thatâs a sample of All eyez on me by 2pac isnt it?
They sampled the same track never gonna stop by linda Clifford. Released within the same year idk which was done 1st but we possibly offered their beats around the same time because they both came out 96
Forgot the âbirdsâ from the intro
nice animation
Wrong on the main sample - Premier himself said he only chopped into three pieces. There aren't such small chops, and in this version, you can even hear that it's much 'choppier,' literally, than in the song.
Preemo is dope
The source is well known. I think big producers are not allowed to take this Kind of sample anymore because of copyright.
Damn this is done so clever. Sampling your own song. No better way to explain what nas is like than to show it by using his own song.
Primo is a god !!!
Classic!
bro sampled himself and itâs still fire
This is exactly what nas showed to jayz right? Two niggas striving.
Do Nas - made you look, pretty dope
