probably the most impressive thing about this flip is that it don't just sound like random chops thrown together and it actually sounds melodic. If you put a low pass filter over it, you can hear a new bassline made from the sample chops with small bass notes under them. It's insane bro

Old man here wanting to share something about this. I really feel I have to. Its already nutty having these kind if channels breaking down samples in visual form. You can tell Dilla really saw things different. But what blew my mind more was when I started to make beats, we didn’t have many references of youtube like this to learn about chopping etc. Heck, knowing what sample someone used was hard as hell. When I finally found samples Dilla used during his Fantastic album and donuts, I put them in my MPC, and almost reversed engineerd his patterns. I was floored, because by doing this you really start to understand what was going on in his head. Tracklib is one of my fav channels which I wish was around when I started to love hip hop in the 90s. But that being said, I implore all young beat makers: Really try to figure out yourself how guys like Premier, Dilla, Pete Rock, or even newer producers like Hit Boy, J Cole, and stereotypes etc flip their samples before you look up how they do it. I had to do this because we didn’t have a choice back then, but looking back, not only was it fun, but you really start to understand what your favorite producers like to do!
@jorgepadilla9945 3 жыл бұрын
Love this comment! There is so much information seconds away from finding out what sample was used in which track. Im glad there are a lot of amazing new producers out there learning and inspired by Dilla and some of the greats just by listening and checking out their techniques here on youtube.

Ive watched almost every breakdown of this segment from all producers...just looking at the chops he used and HOW it was used is beyond alot of heads out here....makes sense why Qtip pulled him in...tip was there already but didnt reach the stringent parts of chopping records. like you stated, the breakdown of sampling makes you understand the producers mindset a bit more and if you still cant quite reach it (understand) then THAT detail ALONE is the GENIUS in the mind of the creator. Whats even greater is that he didnt leave any secret tips for ones to follow. Look how long it took for ANYONE, let alone Tracklib to find out not only what songs were used but the PIECES
