The Making Of Future's "March Madness" With Tarentino (808 Mafia) | Deconstructed
Atlanta rapper Future’s 2015 mixtape cut, “March Madness,” remains one of his signature hits. Released as the lead single from his cult classic project, ‘56 Nights,’ the Tarentino-produced track is named after the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. The 808 Mafia producer recently sat down with Genius to break down how the song was made.

This beat is the definition of a happy accident, when you place one note with an arp you never know what you’re gonna get. He made this, and no one can ever use those sounds in purity again, those sequences/arps will always be the March madness melody.

Edge Lord sometimes we young producer tend to do too much to impress people, most of our beats are sounding good but overworked, without the talent required to polish all that it just sound terrible even when the main idea was great. This days I try to control myself, the biggest hits of the last years was simple beats ( mask off, Bank account, new freezer, too much sauce, Humble, Xo tour life etc.....) so that’s the key in my opinion

This long overdue the minute I heard those arps half sped in the beginning it was a wrap. Honestly one of the craziest beats/melodies to come out the 2010s
1:55 - 2:08 Is the official purity sound from March Madness. Tarentino intentionally differentiated the rest of this deconstruction compared to the original sounds so that no one can create an official instrumental, something I’ve reached out to him for personally and have been dreaming of for years since there is no official instrumental in existence. I turned to this video hoping this would be enough to recreate it, and we lost our chance. SMH
