Making a Beat BUT I Pretend It's 1995 (PART 2)

Рет қаралды 55,032

In this follow up video, we go back to 1995 to explore the supreme sound of that time...Hip Hop grooves with soul samples! In part one we covered New Jack Swing, however, it was being phased out by that time. Let's make it right by remaking the sounds from artist of the time like TLC, Mary J Blige and the emerging Bad Boy family.
Let's dive back into the world of classic synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers that defined the sound of the 90s. Watch as I experience the challenges of working within the constraints of limited memory and editing tools, while at the same time, paying homage to the iconic Hip Hop/R&B styles and rhythms that dominated the charts in the mid-90s.

@@jaydiggsmusic Hi there Jay I DIGGs both of your 'Making A Beat Like It's 1995 clips' 👍 If I had to pick just 1 FAVORITE hit from the mid 90s, it has to be 'Opposites Attract' by Paula Abdul & ScatCat. That was whack back then. I also enjoyed dancing around to both of Bobby Brown"s songs 'Every Little Step I Take' and 'My Prerogative' ☺

That bridge sounds like the Living Single theme. I mean that in the best way possible. You really captured the 90’s sound here. Check out Onra’s throw em up mixes. He specifically made 3 or 4 different mixtapes of music released around this time. It was towards the tail end of the new jack swing era. You should do more on this genre and on this specific sound. I listen to those mixes religiously because to me they capture the essence of the “90s sound”. Don’t mean to rant but I hope you realize there’s a lot of fans of this sound. Especially when it sounds authentic.

I was born in 1997, so I’d love to hear like an updated version of this one a la Life After Death by Biggie, one of my favorite albums of the 90’s! Then, I’d love a Y2K Aaliyah or Fanmail-era TLC one with so much Timbo and Darkchild influence! I think you’d kill that, Jay! Heard someone say 2005, and I’d be good with that one too!

Man, being 44 now and being 15 in 1995. This exactly how music sounded in r&b and especially from New York, vibe wise. We used to do exactly what you did to put composition/ production together. Sample banging drums, find a dope ass sample phrase loop. Then layer with synths. 👌🏾 even though west coast stuff sounded different. We did the same process. Keep these videos coming bro.

I love how much work you put into this videos. I dont know your history but you are very talented and I hope you can live from making music. You really deserve it!This is what you should do. You could easily compete with Teddy Riley or the Trackmasters with your beats. I'm a big fan! If I ever could be a music producer I wanted to be same good as you! I wish you all the best for the future and success in the music industry! I didnt know you but now I will keep your name in my records. Keep on doing what you do! You're a genius!

Kidding of course, but I feel like Diddy and the Bad Boys were always calling out the haters, haha! 😀 Anywho, loving what you're doing. Appreciate ya!
