""If you gotta think about it too long, the shit probably wack." - Madlib

don't you hate it when people can't enjoy simple things. they hate because he didn't waste months on flipping a sample. boi sit tf down. no more parties in LA was made on an iPad and was just for the fuck of it but y'all probably thought he used everything and the kitchen sink. moral of the story is that something doesn't have to be covered in diamonds in order for it to be priceless.

he did that in one minute... imagine a whole day of this guy creating beats..

YES, there's nothing better than sampling different cultured music

damn i thought that piece of cloth from his hat was his ear, i was like wut

What a Genius

I can believe how much magic that dude can pull from an SP-303. Proof that it's not the gear, but the artist.

Most people don't know but Madlib love sampling brazilian music. In Madvillany he uses it in two songs for example

The beat ain't that crazy...whats crazy is the fact that he did that in a minute if anything. I wish there we more videos of Madlib making beats using this beautiful piece of equipment

Awf. It's gotta be the fifth time I forget what version of "O Cabeção" this is and take 30mins to find it... It's the one by Orquestra Som Bateau - Look it up ;)

This man inspired me to make beats by just going in and not to think too much about it. Always caring about what u do but don’t overthink it

"What kinda singin' is that, mang?"

I can't belive this got recommended to me

Esse vídeo não tem comentários brasileiros o suficiente

Did he ever do a full track of this? Pretty magical for something he likely whipped up in a few moments.

Non-rap fans: this isn't real music! You're just pressing buttons! Me: aight you try pressing buttons.

If any of you other nerds are interested, I was trying to figure out what was happening and was analyzing this too much. Here's what i got from it: 0:23 Triggering the sample in one shot mode on pad 2 bank D, mark button not lit 0:35 Triggering a different sample on a different pad? or maybe a video edit with j rocc footage as a transition clip to skip near the end of this session. Madlib continues triggering pad 2 bank D sample and vibing out 0:50 Pressing the reverse button 0:52 Triggering the sample while reversed 0:58 Triggering that other sample again, maybe pad 1 bank D. Happens while pad 2 is still playing. 1:00 I think he stops playback here pressing the cancel button. Continues triggering pad 2. Note when it plays out this time it sounds like that other chop had been added to this pad at some point with resampling. Also notice now that the mark button is now lit. All that makes me think the clip was shortened since i don't think we ever see him hit resample or edit pad 2 like that. 1:03 Turning on that now highly sought after vinyl sim. He's probably pressing remain + vinyl sim after turning it on so that the effect applies to all pads. Turns comp knob all the way up, as well as noise knob. 1:13 Turning down the volume knob Does it seem accurate? Curious what you all think

damn madlib should sell an album just of his throwawy beats, id buy that shit. this beat is crazy, its stuck in my head, i already listend to this video like three times in a row lol

Os caras viajavam para buscar discos com o gênero caracteristico da regiao, e samplear coisas diferentes, j dilla tambem veio ao brasil 2 vezes, monstros.

11 years later this video is still dope asf!!!!

Madlib...his music makes me laugh, cry, and think, unlike any other artist. I mean just pick ANY of his aliases and you're in for a treat. They'll be songs like "Please Set me at Ease" that basically get's my eyes watery thinking of how grateful I am to have found love, maybe lost now but still got a taste of it....and then songs like "Strip Club" with J Dilla that make me LAUGH MY ASS OFF. Even him as Quasimoto makes me both laugh, and makes my neck hurt from head banging so much. He can be light, dark, grim, hopeful, romantic, rude, offensive, defensive, uplifting all in ONE album. Yet every song is artistic whether you enjoy it or not. He literally has so many songs, that you can't help but compare him to his OTHER albums. He is his own competition. He is literally SO good, that he has to ignore people's comments in order to stay true to himself. Like people will find one of his albums SO good that you literally have to compare his future work to his past. Yet you can hear a hundred of his songs and someone else would assume it's from a hundred different artists. This guy is so talented it literally gives me chills how someone can be THAT artistic and remain true to himself..while most people...don't even know who he is. Absolute LEGEND. He is one of those artists that I take pride in showing to my friends. Like "hey we GOTTA listen to this" My friends probably find me annoying though because I like HAVE to get my Madlib fix.

one of the best to ever do it

Remember constantly watching this in high school when it first was uploaded, remember when it was only like 1,000 of us who viewed, now its at 1 mill! I remember when id ask other students if they knew madlib, some knew, others thought of that silly book teachers be having they students say some funny crap for the blanks.

Whoever posted this thank you

i love how j roc is just chillin in the background smoking a blunt and trippin out looking at the album cover.

I been waiting 9 years for someone to rap to this

0:16 first woah ever hit

Man... I would LOVE to learn how to do this from Madlib. The techniques, the ability, just damn.... genius.

BraSil with the S now that's fuckin respect right there 🇧🇷🔥

Always back to this video... Madlib and Jay Dee are the best producers of all time!!! This inspired me a lot ❤

its part of my culture to regularly visit this video every few months

A true artist at work. He's gifted.

I remember when I first seen this like 10 years ago. I still come back every and now and then to listen. Wish he made this a full song

I wish that DVD had an extra section with just footage of Madlib diggin' and making beats in Brazil.

From Lupac , to Quasimoto, to Jaylib ..been a Fan, Daam been representing like forever! Big up ! Madlib , great Upload...

Man, that sample is too crazy! Damn! Want to get my hands on some of those beat tapes it says he made while there

i love how he answers the phone

THE best video on the internet browser.

dopeee! thanx for the upload!

Some of these vaulted videos be gold bro

not even mad youtube recommended this throwback. its been years since i seen this one but still a classic with lord quas

Ok after hearing that i need a whole song with that beat! Sounds like some old school joint.

i love that setup, so simple - its not what you got its how you use it.

I treasure this video, only video I've seen of Madlib doin' his thing.

This beat is in my head EVERYDAY

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years Madlib comes out and says he's been deaf this whole time or something LMAO 😂 I swear this dude is on a whole different level 🔥🔥🔥

Such an amazing talent man

got this beat in my head all day

Gênio criando!!

just got my 303 in from eBay last week, this thing is an amazing sampler. i know a lot of people are wondering about the 303 from this video, i picked it up for its low-fi and FX...its a beast and i've only just begun messing around with it.

Beautiful

i was crying at the end...it's beautiful

That's what is dope about the older MPC's he didn't need a computer like you do now with the Renaissance... Madlib is one ill dude, man!

The sampler is a Sp-303 and the song he's sampling is "OCabecao" originaly written by the Golden Boys but that a different version by some other group. I don't know the name of that group but all I know is on Polydor Records (Same label as James Brown) That's all I found out so far.. [Still searching for that record but I got the Golden Boys version of it]

Madlib é um gênio

A master at work.

I thought for a second Madlib had a deformed ear. But no, it's just part of his hat.

respect sensei, this is BraSil !!!

this is awesome!

amazing!

The sample is "O Cabeção - Orquestra Som Bateau" when you look it up, there is a couple videos the video thats like 2:30, the sample begins around 1:28 Youre welcome haha

Yo are there any other videos of madlib creating a beat?! i would love to see him in a studio setting and get a glimpse of how this man works

His precision is so precise.

LEGEND

NO one else makes beats that sound like Madlibs. He is an original and has a very deep understanding of music, producing and arranging. He has created his own style/sound.... a task that most musicians never accompish. Much respect to MADLIB!

BTW...there has been days I've felt depressed about something, and I had to think of 1:13 - end because it's just hilarious sounding, and I love Madlib's sense of humor. It makes me wonder with all those samples he uses on Quasimoto albums, HOW MUCH he laughed his ass off making them.

Crazy? Sir this this golden ...

one of my favorites

01:16 Heres the translation: " But what will we do with him?" "Mas o que é, que a gente faz com ele" in portuguese.

O QUÊ QUE A GENTE FAZ COM ELE???

Having fun with a sample what a good atmosphere that could be

Awesome!!! we were there on the RBMA while Madlib was there and he was hidin away in his hotel room making beats ! so cool to see the results on video! hahaha

In short... Madlib has mad skills.

Cant wait for the madvillain 2 album to finally be released now that MF DOOM RIP has passed madlib said he has the tracks and album ready.

He makes the perfect drops.

that sample is wicked fire

Madlib's my personal Jesus.

Did MadLib ever release this on a beat tape or something ?

those two took the words out of my mouth. You got owned

so much respect

What kind of singing is that

in the thumbnail I thought he had some fucked up ass ear at first.

better than anything I've heard in a while

wild with the samples

FODA DEMAIS

Did he ever release or finish this beat? was it maybe in Flight to Brazil? (one of the Medicine Show releases?)

man that’s a whooole vibe

just saw the video today!!! very good movie

he does resemble doom back in the 80s w the glasses

This is the craziest beat I've ever heard.

Hey uncle madlib. You inspired me to make my own music.

Madlib is a national treasure. Protect him at all costs.

“Producers aren’t real artists”, “they do nothing but push buttons”, “they don’t even play instruments” - non enlightened people

madlib dilla and 9th wonder are the best hip hop producers. they are so inspirational. RIP DILLA

probably the greatest hip hop producer of all time

I want this beat as a 10year version❤

What's the record from 0:10 to 0:18?

What machine is he using for looping beside his mpc?

My GOAT Beatmaker!!! Turn it up!!!

that " theres no denying" pops in my head at the random times of day. its a marketing ploy or madlib is just that damn good at samples!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
