Sorry about the annoying scratching sounds in the video! Not sure what happened here...

Much respect to Jay Dee. He's so influential they got college courses based on his style. It's a shame most new producers never mention him.

Theres a whole ass book called Dilla Time that explains J's rhythm theory. I highly recommend reading it. Theres a myth that Dilla didn't use quantize or TC (the MPC term for quantize, keep in mind Dilla used the MPC3000 as his main tool) This myth is largely untrue, MPCs have a highly customizable TC interface and you can have entirely different TC settings on each individual drum. Rushing the snares by a 64th note is one of the trademark drum techniques that instantly gives your beat that detroit feeling. The book covers dozens of other techniques in depth

For anyone wondering the beat at the beginning is "Track 35" of the "Beat CD #3"

The fact that you are able to get, replicate and explain all those genius artists techniques and habits shows that you are a music genius yourself.

that Zelda flips was 🔥🔥🔥

I absolutely love that low end sample idea. I'm most definitely gonna try that today!

Man, I think He's overshadowed by other commercial producers. Rest in peace Jay Dee 🕊, One of the greatest Pioneer of Hip-hop .

Dilla did it. Nas said it. "It's never what you do but how it's done"

Man my English is not so good so I will try to make it short ...i have been following u since a year ago ..u motivate me a lot and u brought me to old school and as a Indian i couldn't understand oldschool music but u mad me aware of it and now I could produce some sensible beats....thanks a lot Davie i wish us on a project some day...lots of love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🪷

never missing an upload

R.I.P. Dilla

Really just flipped that Lost woods flute huh? Idk how I feel about this because I was vibing hard when I first heard it. But you really gave it a whole new sound. Good job!!

Pete Rock & Q-Tip would be dope. One of my favorite producers that I never hear anyone talk about though is Stoupe. Some of those Jedi Mind Tricks joints... man. But Dilla is my #1 so thakn you for this video

I feel like at tip 3 having a background in drums comes into play because I played the drums in school and thats how I got into beat making. I knew who J dilla was back in 1996 so I was already familiar with his style due to being a huge Slum Village fan but I could always identify with his drum beats because thats how a drummer plays. Very sporadic and erotic. Black Milk who is also from Detroit plays drums the same.

Not sure if I've ever said it before, but you've been a huge blessing in my musical production since I started back in 2019. Thank you brudda!

I'm reading "Dilla Time" by Dan Charnas right now. It's a very good read. This video is right on time.

Navie with the sauce, Dilla’s the GOAT

Man the first tip was refreshing

The first 2 tips were awesome The second is something I have never done I am veeery interesting in trying in my next beat. Great way to use over used loop and samples and make them feel unique

Damn! That low end sampling trick really IS Dilla’s sounf

I aimed at emulating J Dilla in my recent upload, he's the ultimate inspiration!

I Would love a Araabmuzik Spotlight! but Dj.Fresh, Zaytoven or Scott Storch would be dope also :)

Take notice is my favorite track off that album

This guy is good. I learned how to produce by listening to music and practicing. These tips are a way of compacting that process and fine tuning certain techniques. Not bad

Was listening to the 1996 What Up Doe Sessions when you dropped this video yesterday. Dilla was the one.

I notice tons of producers have one beat in mind when they refer to a Dilla brat but he, like you've presented, had many different signatures in all his beats

I can’t wait til you start covering old school Southern Hip Hop Producers. If you want me to name a few I got you.👍🏿💯

I love that you share knowledge and apply it to examples of your beats to really show how to makes it in our own way in the daw! Thanks

Great Video. So detailed and easy understandable. Please spotlight Hit Boy next time. He’s great.

@NavieD your re-creations and your original example beats are always perfect. Nothing over-processed, nothing out of place. You're a master chef, always letting the goodness of each raw ingredient shine through. My ears thank you.

We need Rza bro! Barely anyone has videos on him and the Wutang type beats on KZfaq really don’t match his prime style

That Take Notice beat is probably J.Dilla's best beat. I can listen to that instrumental all day. Perfect beat to scat freestyles on

take a shot every time navie says beat lmao. great video!

The more I listen to Dilla the more I'm amazed, he was truly one of a kind 🙏

Thank you for always inspiring us ❤

Up mi gee give thanks bro bless up yourself everytime bro

The firts tip is The best

Great vid! I always love j dilla vids I’d love to see you take a deeper dive into micro chopping and how dilla would use mixing effects on his samples and his drum note nudging

Caught me off guard with that Zelda sample, respect

I would love to see a video on Aesop Rock as a producer. Also, El- P would be cool too

Dilla was a beast with the beats aaand he was nice on the mic🔥

Great video! J dilla’s weird hihats is not really talked about that much when people talk about "dilla drums" so great that someone finally did talk about that. Dilla’s weirdness as a whole is what I find the most inspiring about his productions. Thank you!

Bro I love your videos Fr🔥

Man what do you do with the beats you make for the videos? They are fire. Please release them or something! I once accidentally figured out the first technique by playing with the EQ. It can work wonders! Navie pls make a statik selektah / apollo brown / marco polo analysis !

I think Devin The Dude would make for a great video! Your first sample example (lol) reminded me of his stuff. So good! Cheers!

Personally the low end thing was probably the best tip ever. I wish I thought of that years ago.

"That Dilla Swing"💯

yo!!! This speaks volumes to me! Thanks so much for this one! I need a lot of help with my lower end. I think this will be a great way for me to focus on that. thanks so much! peace and love from Japan

Your best video yet! Very good observations! Thx

nice video K Benzema !

I love these vids so much ⭐️

That first beat was insane holy big horses

Thanks for this! Can you do a video on Count Bass D?

Yooooo that was a fucking dilla beat you just pulled off. Caught myaelf headbanging to that zelda sample

Love your videos and tips pal. Tip 2 is golden.

Fantastic video, excellent analysis. You have a killer ear, I appreciate you sharing what you can hear. Sadly much of my high end is gone and I struggle to hear hit hats in general. Thanks for the visuals, they help me a ton!

Nice video I always enjoy them🔥 you should make a dibaise technique video, that would be dope

i love these what we can learn from other producers because not only one producer is ever right music is so subjective and i love it. on that note though i believe you should cover dj dahi

Would love to see you do Clams Casino next

Wow, I actually did that first one without realizing it! Cut out all the high end, boosted the lower section, and added some effects to make a B section. Let's me know I'm on the right track!!

Great video , thanks a lot

Good shit as always, nice editing on this video too 👌

Is it just me or does it feel like Navie is Benzemas twin😂 Love your vids bro

LONG LIVE DILLA ❤❤❤❤

Rza

This is why I watch this channel. Tip one was such a ah ha moment. like the universe just made sense to me. Thank you very much Navie.

I have a technique that uses the kick as snares and vice versa , then i reverse somewhere halfway through the song.

RIP J DILLA ❤❤❤

I knew i wasnt the only one who thought he looked like Benzema😭😭

Can you make a similar video explaining and analyzing the style of flying lotus? Would love to hear your take on this.

on tip 3, the change is 100% on the beat.

The Neptunes/early Pharrell Williams next!

Tip 2 is a gem. Thanks

Incredible lesson

Dope video! I learned about the low pass bass from Pete rock

Your beat break downs are crazy scary yo. I want my beat remake skills as good as the remakes u do. Ive remade few beats for people and its hard for me at least.

Iv actually been doing the low end thing lately works pretty good

Amazing tips, thank you!

Thank you Jay Dee 🙏

Another great video. Where can one find hip-hop beats that you’ve created? I’ve listen to the albums, but they seem to be more cutting edge, modern stuff than what I’m looking for. The boombap style is one that you’re really good at but I’ve never heard a completed beat from you.

your beats are dope brother

Dilla is king. Want an idea for a new video? Try Harry Fraud. Seriously

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤

I appreciated videos like this

That's dope! I'm going to try that. 👌

YESSSS

This was dope, thanks man.

Hit boy

oh yea!!!

I literally got an idea to try to avoid the sampling process, though I'm gonna try to see if it works.

Great as always! Inspiring.

Never knew how multi-skilled Benzema was till i watched this video

always pleasure to watch and learn something✌️

Nujabes, please

😂😂😂Karim... Great video. Love the gems

Can u do Apollo Brown’s techniques tips

SUCH A GOOD VIDEO

Can you do a video about harry mack specially breaking down some of his flows/rhythms? He was a jazz drummer and he does it all off the dome.... You really should you will get many views his fan base is so big and they will give you a lot of love.... It's a bit different than what you are use to it ..... But I am sure that is something at least you need to take a look, bcuz every person that's into production, rap or any type of genrer of music, they all need to study H-mack.... Even tech N9ne Kendrick Lamar, sway in the morning and more showed love to this guy You got my sub bro ✌️

Never seen Benzema giving tips on producing
