Bucka bucka bucka bucka

our boy sandurz on the verge of tears because he couldn't find a vocal sample at 6:37 :(

I get excited when I see these videos posted

I watched this, heard the compiled beat at the end, still shocked there's a pattern at all to this beat. Awesome work man!

The repeating sample that goes, “I revolve around science” is from Criminology by Raekwon. You will hear it at about 0:49

Just wanna say I love watching your videos every week! It's amazing to watch the breakdown and you do a great job of reproducing these iconic beats

You gotta realize...it was the sampling limitations with the equipment he was using which made him use "odd" parts of the sample. Ingenius really!

momma - kendrick lamar

This obviously took hours when DJ Premier did it.

Yo! We appreciate your digging and hard work! Love the series. Keep it coming, peace

When did Robin Thicke start making beats

That “what are we talking about here” part came from Art Seigner’s interview with Angela Davis in 1971.

Love the videos, man. Just stumbled upon one and I've been checking out all my favourites ever since! Been waiting for something like this

Can you do When i be on the mic by rakim

This is fucking amazing, even 6 years later.

Man, your channel is amazing. Thanks so much. This is gold.

You area so thorough and brought this track into my brain in a whole new way, thanks!

You're freakin' natural at this. Freakin legendary.

+Sandurz- I think the "Mighty Mos Def" scratch sample is from "B-boy document 99" with High&Mighty and Mad skills. Love The videos homie.

you should do "Wouldn't Get Far"

man for beatmakers you have the dopest channel on youtube my dude. so much props to you for figuring out these trade secrets haha

The birds chirping sample is best described in Group Home's "Suspended in Time"

thats the mighty dj premier on that beat...no wonder its hard asf

Great breakdown!

Outstanding videos. Cheers.

This guy does his homework im hooked on his beat breakdowns lol

This kinda reminded me of that one Moment of Truth skit at the end of Royalty when Premier goes in on people using his name and snitchin on the records he samples hahahaha. Sandurz, you be violatin straight up and down!!

I highly recommend you watch the video "The INSANE Musical Math of DJ Premier and Mos Def" by the KZfaq Channel "Digging The Greats", if you have not seen it already. He lists all the samples used by Dj Premier. Great video. It was my introductions to your channel. I subscribed.

Another great vid, thanks man. Premo's stuff is mindblowing, absolute genius. Is there any chance you could do either Keisha's Song by Kendrick Lamar, or Soda & Soap by Masta Ace please? 2 of my favourites of all time, would love to see you break them down!

Good effort man, this is sick

Great video man keep em comin

Wow! You got it!

Even when I hear the Fatback sample I STILL don't know how Primo came up with this.True genius at work.

You should do What A Mess by Xzibit, that has one of my favorite DJ Premier beats ever!

you outdid yourself on this one

so good man

God damn this one sounds like the real deal so much

Oh shit! You did the one I requested. Thanks!

Sandurz where you been dude? You fell off the map. What happened?

Devil's Pie by D'Angelo? Prod by DJ Premier

Cool. Could you do a recreation of a beat by El-p or Cannibal Ox? Would be cool.

this is dope

Erikah Badu - On and On "Do your math"

Yo, man I love watching your videos, man they're great! I love learning about how producers get to make their songs. Could you do a beat by DOOM or Madlib (Or Madvillain)? That'd be dope!

This was dope!!! You gotta take that request from the other guy, TRIFE LIFE by Mobb Deep. It wouldn't be that hard but very interesting. Word up

Damn bro you really flexed to get us this break down😂

Probably my top three beats on that stellar album, but nothing really beats (heh) the Ms. Fat Booty beat for me, that sounds fantastic.

Great videos! Could you do Ten Crack Commandments maybe?

you rock!

I would have loved to see attempt Waves by Freddie Joachim!

Please do Heat by 50 Cent (prod. by Dr. Dre). So cool with the gunshot sound being a central part of the beat and drums

Where did this dude go

Do U Looz by Prhyme

Unreal how you got that. Would you agree Little Brother is the Holy Grail of beats to breakdown?

Can you do All of the lights by Ye or Momma like the other guy suggested?

Can you do pilot by Tyler the creator?

Please do something from the Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox!!!

Ever consider covering Ms. Fat booty in one of your future videos?

Dj preemo inspired my chop style of trying to make a new melody from an old one

Dope

Beat suggestion: doomsday - MF doom.

So posted 6 yrs ago. Have the samples turned up yet?

i know its been along time but i found it.... vocaroo.com/i/s1BMch8XGnzY im still not able to place where it came from, but this is def the original audio. seems to me like its an old film or tv show, the audio has a faint bell ring and a siren in he back ground along with subtle footsteps (which could be the actors moving in the scene or the behind the camera people moving (common at that age of film making) )

was "the mighty mos def" from "cross town beef"?

Kudos

No, the sample isn't from the end of the bar plus the beginning of the same bar, it's from the end of one bar and continues onto the next (at 0:10-0:11 in the sampled song)

Have you done "got" off this album?

more MADVILLANY!!!!

Damnnnnnnnn!

I would have thought the most distinctive/noteworthy aspect of "mathematics" is how the original sample is kept at a different (slower) tempo to the beat.

This beat sounds very familiar and similar to Gang Starr's "itz a setup"

What happened to you Sandurz? Where you been man?

nice

Do Trife Life and Shooked Ones from Mobb Deep.

do So Fresh, So Clean x Outkast

Did you add a swing to it?

Where can I find acappellas?

Please do Momma by Kendrick!

Logic-Run It

Where did u go

Do "La Di Da Di" by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh 😜

Maybe DJ Primer got one of his buddy's or Mos Defs buddy's for the, "What are we talking about here?" part. :/

Get Dis Money - J dilla

Do Fade Away by Logic

Do madvillian accordion

Bro smh your OD nice 👍 ... Could u do a beatbreakdown on slow jamz kanye west

do brooklyn girls by charles hamilton

Here's the "What are we talking about here" sample @ 4:39 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erd3pcJ3msCnZaM.html

Kanye west - Spaceship would be amazing please!

Yea do some logic break down

6pm in New York - Drake

Pretty good but i would say for the drums to put a lil more bass on the kick n on the snare while turning the snare a very slight semi-tone up n the hi-hats a little softer for sure but the melody is on point...you stay on it strong oh & off too Is amazing

Microphone fiend

You got the sample chops pretty much down (sometimes not as punchy) -- props! Drums aren't those primo drums --need more oomph and downsampling! Nice breakdown overall though

Angela Davis and Art SeignerAngela Davis Interviewed by Art Seigner thats where the what are we talking about here sample is from

That vocal sample is at 4:37 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erd3pcJ3msCnZaM.html

Tracklib did a great job on finding all the samples, you can check it out if you are interested in finding out how the vocals chops were added to the hook section: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5Nxkptq0brZmXU.html

i made a remake. its on my channel, but i didn't chop it like you did.

am i too dumb for this beat? it sounds so off to me
