Utopia gave everyone that's actually creative hope to be creatives again and still feel you can make it. We no longer we have to feel we need to be cookie cutter to have a fighting chance any more.
I recommend all of you go listen to Scaring The Hoes from JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown because after listening to that, I can’t help but feel like Utopia isn’t as creative as people hype it up to be. You will never hear another song like Steppa Pig or Garbage Pale Kids.
wondagurl is so so underrated, deserves all her flowers right now, played such a big role in travis and don tolivers career and for trap music in general
It’s insane that this album is primarily based off older samples cause it sounds like a lot of the samples were created from scratch recently because of how modern it sounds in todays music.
Bumping Utopia on a daily and it still grows on me. Even tho there are some sections which i dont like, i'd say its a great Album. And from the production side it definitely raises the bar
I think that just like Kanye inspired a young generation with 808's, a lot of artists in a few years from now will say that this album has inspired them.
Good video as always bro. I like what they did with the hi hats on Gods Country also. They have a very nice rhythm. My Eyes is one of my favorite songs off the album just because it’s so different. Travis has always thought outside the box. His music breaks all the genre lines.
@@NavieD for sure. The amount of effort that goes behind a Travis Scott Album is more effort than mainstream rappers put behind their whole careers and it shows.
I just happy to see someone as big as Travis Scott using samples in their songs in 2023. So many people hate on samples. They don't understand how many songs actual use them.
I love the way you explain the tricks used in drum parts! Coming up with an original drum pattern that also works well in the context of the song is legit one of the hardest things to do, but also one of those things that make the song immediately stand out (which is the case with most songs on Utopia). I'd definitely love to see more of that!
This breakdown inspired me to dive deeper into traditional African music. A lot of drum patterns to be borrowed from. This album was definitely interesting and inspiring.
They way you break down all these beat patterns and sound structures from most of his songs from utopia is just mind boggling. Like it's almost as complicated given the fact there's more than two producers for each song. Big ups man 🔥
Utopia the greatest album I've ever heard. I am learning as a producer, and it is helping me shape into what sound I want to make. This break down from you was incredible.
This album is slowly growing on me there’s a few songs I don’t like but songs like Hyaena, telekinesis, lost forever, etc have great production and performances. BTW does anyone know which parts Alc produced on Lost Forever is it just the opening sample?
Un grand merci a BIG thanks from France it was amazing to learn about the instrumental on the Utopia album. I LOVE IT thank you again and I wish you the best.
Great video! Been experimenting with stem splicing with Spleeter, which is free, for quite some time now (a couple years). Wasn't perfect at the time, but got the job done - glad to see it's a technology that's used more now
That sample reconstruction technique as you showcase it, may be new, but it's roots lie in remixing or seperating a sample into layers. That's something I hope everybody who watches these types of vids always keeps in mind, never discard "old techniques" because there may come a point in time where you can reapply them with new tools to create something innovative. That's why I like when some of your videos show off old-school techniques, because I feel like a lot of newer producers lack the connection to those.
Navie D there’s one producer i’d like to see you analyze and see his ways of creativity his name is Monte Booker not many people know of him but if you do have the chance look him up he has very unique sounds
I gotta say wow. this is awesome seeing some of these tracks broken down is unreal and the beat u created with the trav influence that shit is The Shit.
Utopia gave everyone that's actually creative hope to be creatives again and still feel you can make it. We no longer we have to feel we need to be cookie cutter to have a fighting chance any more.
I like that perspective. It's cool to see risks taken at such a high level
Bro, yes 🙏I felt the same way. Be authentic and unique 🔥 what an amazing thing to take away from Utopia
@@TheRealDahli right on 🙏🏾
@@NavieD yezzir. Travis did us a favor stepping out of this generic wave everyone wants to surf

@@athe6thfacts!!
listening to them it's crazy how good the mixing on the album is too, to make them sound so clear and punchy
MIKE DEAN THE GOAT WHEN IT COMES TOO MIXING THESE SHORTA MAXIMALISTIC PROJECTS!@@user-qt1ti8tq8d
The rhythm of the percussion in lost forever is very common in west african music.
Bumping Utopia on a daily and it still grows on me. Even tho there are some sections which i dont like, i'd say its a great Album. And from the production side it definitely raises the bar
Yeah the production is top level
I think that just like Kanye inspired a young generation with 808's, a lot of artists in a few years from now will say that this album has inspired them.
This album was inspired by Yeezus so yet again Kanye has been inspiring with his projects that he released more than 10 years ago
Why am I watching Karim Benzema analysing Travis Scott's music
That sample in sirens has people in my country going crazy😂🔥
My hips wouldn't stop moving first time I heard it loool

Yeah he's one of the few larger artists who I actually look out for
@@NavieD for sure. The amount of effort that goes behind a Travis Scott Album is more effort than mainstream rappers put behind their whole careers and it shows.
@@williamwilkinson4756for sure . Travis and ye are the only super mainstream hip hop artists I really look forward
Karim Benzema giving us a masterclass in production
I just happy to see someone as big as Travis Scott using samples in their songs in 2023. So many people hate on samples. They don't understand how many songs actual use them.
Utopia feels like a stepping stone. I think we’re in travis’ time now
Serato studio has the best stem separation tool I have I ever used.

Nice job on that beat you made at the end of the video, sounds really unique. Appreicate you Navie!
man Benzema makes video essays now?
u so funny
You’re the best for putting out content out like this you don’t know how much your videos have informed me as a young producer
Glad to see That kalindula and Zamrock will potentially be more appropriated cause of Sirens, but s/o to sampa the great for putting it on the map🔥🔥
Zambia has a lot to offer🦅🔥🔥
Is this a good thing or a bad thing
@@wakisamuloboka9804 Last 🔥🔥🔥
@@NavieDit's a good thing sir, coz our country 🇿🇲 is getting recognized 🔥
An excellent video as always Navie. Thanks for all your effort!
Reminds me of early kid cudi beats. Utopia def gonna be a gem years down the road

Thank you for this one bro. I‘m really impressed on how you made your own beat, like fr. One of the best Utopia type beats I‘ve heard.
Utopia the greatest album I've ever heard. I am learning as a producer, and it is helping me shape into what sound I want to make. This break down from you was incredible.
love your videos, really amazing
*your production is another level mann✨🔥✨🔥KEEP IT UPPP!*
you're a legend for showing that sample website blessings
these vids are actually the most helpful on yt bro tysm
This album is slowly growing on me there’s a few songs I don’t like but songs like Hyaena, telekinesis, lost forever, etc have great production and performances. BTW does anyone know which parts Alc produced on Lost Forever is it just the opening sample?
I think the Alchemist produced the second half of the song. The part with Westside Gunn.
@@dandeluxe8731yeah I agree
Also he produced the last beat on skitzo
Great breakdown/video man 🫡
I’ve actually tried this type of sampling (although not as good) and it’s kind of fun. You get rearrange every element of the original sample
thanks for sharing the knowledge 🔥
Using space in music like this is the reason I always felt Linkin Park was so good. So much little details and the variety of it is amazing.
What's wild is that I used many of these techniques on my last project with just my MPC.
Brilliant breakdown thank you
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, you're awesome!!!!
god i love your videos so much
I love you so much
my favourite utopia video thank you man
We are one step closer to the "Why NAV's music revolutionized rap" video🎉

Lmao you must be joking

So what's your point here
that beat in the end is crazy
thank you NAVIE D you now have my subscription. this will help me a lot.
So glad you're talking ab this! ngl hearing the album I immediatly thought of Kanye's production.
These type videos are insanely helpful
Bro you going crazy…. This dope af!
Dude helped make Yeezuz. Can’t expect mid from a guy like that.
Insane, the producers are geniuses
I love your title bro. So positive
dude awesome video!
thanks benzema
I LOVE U FOR SHOWING ME VOCALREMOVER I WILL DEFINTLY KEEP WATCHING YOU
Karim Benzema doin music production tutorials. This is sick!
benzema the producer isn't real he can't hurt you
benzema as a producer:
we need more like a part 2
Love your videos and teaching style. Please do a tutorial on serato sample.
In sirens the hi-hats percussion was made with in the kalindula format which is the same type of music the original sample was trying to embody
I just love the fact that Travis Scott sampled a song from my country Zambia 🇿🇲 on Sirens. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the tips Navie! +1 sub
Navie D there’s one producer i’d like to see you analyze and see his ways of creativity his name is Monte Booker not many people know of him but if you do have the chance look him up he has very unique sounds
yessssss
Your beat at the end is fire
Great Job
Mhen you’re blessed for Analyzing this process relatively ❤❤❤❤
I love you navie
Wow navie is becoming my fav creator now
You gotta make a vid about Kenny Segal, specifically his beats for Hiding Places and Maps
i noticed he used AI for the intro of Hyaena too, split the vocals from the song
8:30 the original sample is from "Krzysztof Komeda - Rosemary's Baby"
Amazing video
much needed vid
I hope it helped
@@NavieD always ! u neva disappoint, professor
One of the best, your explaining bro thats what i mean
Production is crazyyy
good video, really 🙌🏼
good video, subscribed
Thanks benzema♥️♥️
this is INSANE
Thank you benzema
The production on this album really carries it. Honestly, an instrumental or features only version would go crazy.
What makes those 2000‘s P diddy guitar beats (like need a girl part 2) so unique and fire?? Could you make a video on that?
thank youuuuuu
Ty
Buen video benzema
Great job deconstructing those tracks and its sauce!! 🔥🙏 Keep up the awesome work dude!
This reminds me a little of your Timbland Alyaha video.
Fire video!
however I didn’t really find anything too special about utopia’s production tbh..
Remarkable video. Where did u get the drum sounds from
actual useful vid
great video karim
benzema
nice to see balon d'or winner kareem benzema taking time out of his day to show us what a musical talent travis scott is
😭
Those HHs on Lost Forever almost sound like some snare/brush combo
I gotta say wow. this is awesome seeing some of these tracks broken down is unreal and the beat u created with the trav influence that shit is The Shit.
Can someone please tell me whats different at 9:10 ?
