El-P was the reason why I got into beatmaking.

tapped instantly, not enough people talking about el-p's production. super unique

You missed one crucial ingredient 7 packs of smokes a day

EL-P’s versatility gives me hope that my approach to making music won’t continue to be slept on. Bless up Navie 🙏🏾

Wow! Could it be!?… An EL-P production tutorial where the beat example actually fucking sounds close to a beat EL-P would make?? You may be the first KZfaqr to *ever* do it, so bravo!! It’s apparently a near impossible feat :) Great video, thanks man

He is a massive inspiration to me. His pre RTJ work on cannibal ox, funcrusher plus and fantastic damage changed the way i see beat making. The way he distorts samples and builds up drum breaks into more complex, dense rhythms always dazzles me. He is just that guy man. Great video!

that first beat you made is a fking banger

El-P way underrated as a producer. I remember discovering Co-flow`s Funcrusher Plus vinyl in a basement of a record store I had been working at in the late 90's. 20 something years later and, still relevant.

This is why you’re my favorite teacher on KZfaq. You’re the only one I could trust to do make his style of production accessible

Naive D never misses. Straight Fuego as always.

A RTJ x jpegmafia collab album would be absolutely incredible

I've been doing this but with Death Grips as my inspiration. they do a very similar thing just with different stylistics

Truly amazing! Thank you for exploring El-P’s style with your consistent thoroughness 🙏🏽 there’s no video out there that’ll even touch on his approach, so it’s greatly appreciated 🙌🏽

Navie like the martial arts master that can do any style.Great breakdown.El P one of my favorite producers,his style always feels grimey and futuristic like from an apocalypse movie

PLEASE MAKE A 1992-1996 CLASSIC RZA VIDEO

The funny part about this, is that I distinctly remember doing stuff like this when I first started making beats but I never knew how to put it together in a way that sounds intelligible. Using random sounds and layering multiple copies of the same synth with weird effects. I think I need to get back to that after spending so much time trying to teach myself how to write melodies and music theory and shit.

I'm happy that KZfaq recommended me this video 1 year later.

And older beats from El-P are even crazier, from his solo albums and Company Flow, with some industrial distorted robotic apocaliptic sound, and abstract disordered syncopated drums, very unique innovative producer, one of the best and favorites.

I’ve been doing this type of production for awhile since 09. DJ Paul uses this technique as well.

Wow as I was studying El-p’s production you drop this video….divine timing 🙌🏿

Man I love your videos. So insightful. Thanks a lot! El-P is just fantastic, never disappointing or boring. The real deal!

One of the most underrated producers ever! So versatile and unique sound he always did he's the legend for reason!!!

Dude, yes! I saw that poll! Im so glad you decided to hit up this one.

Great Video👌🏻 El-P is the real production GOAT💎 Grew Up listening to: Company Flow A Real Def JUKIE😈

Man, I miss the Weathermen.

Navie, you killed it on this. Awesome mix of documentarian and teacher here and you absolutely got to the core of the lesson.

This was very informative and just helped me make a fun experimental beat. Thank you.!!

3:32 - *INSTANT* STANK FACE 🥶

Du bist wirklich gut im Erklären.

Man i wished i saw this video in 2001 or 2017. I havent touched reason for a long time but i was always chasing el-p vibes but with west coast underground bounce. Keep making these bro

I’d love to see one of these videos on RZA

yo!!!!!!!! This got me so hype! Now I know exactly which genre of music I make, "Noise based." I love RTJ and how Killer Mike joined forces with EL P! Such a dope duo! Thanks so much for this video, Navie!

Awesome. I really glad you listened to us and made this

the goat Navie

This was fantastic vid! I loved the overall take a way of make a sonic collage this really opened my mind to a new perspective of beat making I instantly was reminded of Kanye’s yeezus I can’t wait to implement this new way of thinking into my beats

That beat is hella interesting. One suggestion for a future vid is analyzing NICK WIZ - imo he is one of the 90s producers who doesn't get enough recognition ... the video called "Best Nick Wiz Beat Flips (Samples)" made me really appreciation his style of boom bap. cheers and keep up the amazing content!

Great breakdown thanks Navie

one of your best videos yet 👌

call me sassy but u becoming the teacher ive always wanted

The beat you made is dope.

So glad to see the GOAT of abstract hip hop on your channel.

El-P is such a legend

Please do a video on the Bomb Squad

another banger! your tips are so clutch.

Yooo this is really dope, and great tutorial. EL-P is my favorite producer of all time and I have been studying his craft since 1995. I’ve been producing music for over 20 years now, and he is always someone I always look up to for progression in my skills, him Madlib and J.Dilla (RIP) are my inspirations! I especially love when I discover a sample EL-P flipped maybe in Funcrusher Plus or Cold Vein and I get mad like “How the fuck did he do that?” I pick apart his beats like many try to pick apart Aesops lyrics!

I was waiting for something like this since a long time. Did some RTJ type beats some months ago, would be awesome to get your input on those! 🔥 A sincere thank you from Italy.

Never hit the like button so quick

Ok THIS was exactly what i wanted too watch, for hours

This video made me go listen to run the jewels albums. El-P’s style is dope. I want to see a video for Aesop Rock’s production too. His style is 🔥! They were on the same label Def Jux with RJD2 (i bet you can’t make a beat like him!) so it’s one umbrella. 💪🏾.

As someone who love’s abrasive metal/ hardcore, and loves hip hop, EL-Ps production scratches the itch for when I’m in a mood for loud and wild music but don’t want to listen to metal

Navie D is for the people ✊🏼

my friend pedro goes hard af. i only play for the soundtrack now. i beat the game a while back. but that soundtrack keeps me coming back. fire

Patriotism still floors me everytime I listen to it.

Navie D ...thanks man

Awesome video! El-P is one of my favorite emcees ever

Thank you Navie and thank you EL-P

Thank you. The techniques here seem like an extension of the ideas from your Pharrell video. I will put this stuff to good use!

Been waiting for this one! 🔥👏

Nice!!!!! Can't wait for the next lesson!!! 🔥🔥🔥💪😎👌

This analysis is fire, i hope you can do decap next

I’ll sleep when you’re dead was the album responsible for getting me into beatmaking

I gotta sit down with his Run The Jewels projects with Killer Mike. I didn't listen to him but I knew he was underground

thanks for the tips tan karim benzema

Yo hit that fucking like button we almost got to see the navie goods 😮

Amazing sound design ! Thank you so much

I have to try this

Instant like for Navie’s Ds.

Thank you this was good video ✌🏼

I thought this was about EP from the Doppelgangaz for a second. Such a great duo.

Excellent breakdown

Yes yes yes finally el-p got covered by navie

Props for mentioning the Bomb Squad. Sometimes feels like them and PE have been memory holed 🤔

Damn son, this is one of your most useful videos. Thanks a lot. Side note: htf has EM never gotten on an El P beat? That’s an L for Marshall.

You should consider breaking down Monte booker or dj Dahi both pretty cool and inspirational producers

Thanx

Please a video for me''❤❤ In case an artist walk into my my end to do a beat for his lyrics (vocal) how do I go by that

While we're in this lane, might as well hit up Mr. DJ and/or Organized Noise. Love this region of hip hop! Apologies if you've done Organized Noise before, bc I don't remember, if so. lol Cheers, Navie!

Thank you. 💯✌🏼✊🏼

Omg i Was doing this things without knowing this producer😮 thanks again Navie !! A video of portishead or chinese man can be posible?, they flips samples in a interesting way , the swagy drums and the ambient is very good ...

Yo this is sickkk

Navie D has more sauce than a tobasco factory

"Producer gave me a beat, said its the beat of the year, i said EL-P didn't do it so get the fuck outta here!"

I have never smashed like button this fastly ;)

The sample he uses is from paul williams “electric piano solos” and its filled with good samples if anyone wants to check out 🔥

Inspiring Video 🔥

this is so good, geez

wish i could like this twice

You gotta do this video format with $crim from Suicideboys

One of your better beats too tbh

please do the avalanches

Dang that was good

This sounds like my first few beats i ever made 💀

But how do you put bass over that? When it doesn’t really have any notes or chords to have your bass follow?

El-P IS DOPE!

people need to make more videos discussing his beatmaking

Ah, finally somebody interesting. Good job

bro i was literally thinking man thats a slutty shirt ur wearing... Navie ur the goat 😂😂

Company Flow!

He also seems to leave more low end in his beats, under 40hz.

HE GONNA UNZIP AND TAKE US TO BROWN TOWN BOIS
