How cool is it to be able to say : "I'm a three time grammy-award winning producer." ?

Today i learnt that if your main sample is too repetitive.. pair it up with some other instrument that progresses over time..

while topically, Ye and Jay killed it, i feel, it lacked heavy flow wise. it could've been sonically better on their delivery. Production is godly though

I listened to it for the first time right before our first football game of Jr. year. I swear that shit is the sole reason why I got recruited and went on to play college ball 😂
One of the best beats of the 2010's
Jay-z floated on this beat 😩
S1 is one of the most creative producers in the game right now. Period. I just finished reading the S1's memories yesterday and I'm inspired & motivated by his example. Thank you, Larry. And also, thank you, Cymatics!

benja303 After the success of College Dropout and maybe a little bit of Late Registration, you can begin to notice the path Kanye took in collaborating with other artists in a production spectrum. No one can ever create true and pure art by themselves, you always need other ideas and those ideas will branch from someone else’s.
Damn I really wish everybody did their breakdowns like this. So easy to follow and super inspiring
My favorite track on the album sonically. It's amazing to see how layered these tracks can be.
The sampled song was produced by the legendary Caiphus Semenya with Quincy Jones, Semenya is a South African

This type of content is priceless. Amazing yet simple composition. Shout out to S1.
has to be my favorite Watch The Throne instrumental. love this video, simple explanation. no crazy edits to make it look "nice" TY cymatics team
One of my favorites on that Watch The Throne album! Amazing that you guys managed to get S1 to do the break down of the full thing. Only 11 elements but that song always sounded huge to me, because of the atmosphere he creates. Simply mind blown right now.
This is awesome, would love to see this as a series

Always loved this beat! Watch the throne is an underated album in my opinion.
Great explanation, thank you for sharing your craft!
I like how you keep it simple bro
Really nice breakdown, got me really inspired. Murder to excellence was one of my favorites on watch the throne
it was just the 10 yr anniversary of MBDTF so i been bumpin that for a few days which led me to having WTT on repeat and hearing Murder To Excellence was so amazing in revisiting that time wit the album I had the track on repeat so now im here to conclude my nostalgia lol
Break beats are dope mannn drum packs and loop packs too... The bottom line is the feel and the hit
One of my favourite songs and one of Kanye’s more important ones
Damn that bass and organ is so dope!
This was much needed
That's so informative 💯
Good stuff bro, I'm at a loss for words.
One of my favourite beats of WTT
Holy! GEMS!!🔥🔥
Wow thanks for sharing.
This was beautiful!!
beautifully explained brotha
this is pure art. well done S1 love your work.
what a nostalgic feeling. august 2011
Love this!
Excellent. We need more of these
Awesome work and great vision for music...
Taking the low end out the break beat and adding your own drums was the most fire advice ever
