Imagine driving around and hearing someone playing your produced song, just imagine the feeling that the other people may not know that the guy next to you produced this banger you get me?
word
Its a crazy feeling i tell you, better than when it gets played in the radio
it's like me right now, they listen new feat from Future, but they sampled my track.. so i'ts also hard case
Nredup 82 congrats bro🙏
Chops 🤟
Nobody: 808 Melo: “You know what I’m trying to say”
“ you hurddd “ British Edition

That's cheap.
quality isnt gonna be the best tho
Shush
Ron nah I mean like cuz of the quality mix gonna sound bad
Ron higher quality sounds equals a cleaner and better mix
love seeing producers finally being credited bc they’re just as important as the rapper
Sometimes even more important when the beat Carry the whole song
There wouldn’t be rap without producers.

If not more so
And I would love it if the original artist of the dark violin part got credit too
the 808s really made this a banger

I love it when British people say “literally”

@@akmedia8206 I know. I hate it when Americans say "literally." I love it when British people say it. They say it way better.

i had a feeling Melo was British. the most fire drill shit comes from across the pond
It’s because uk drill is better then us
@@user-em1pc6fq9y I'm from Germany and it's true best is dutchavelli and v9 in my opinion
@@hoover9sb USA is not a country. It has no culture and it was created by injustice. But most of what excites me about your states is that you only spread war and terror in the world. Moreover, most of you are uneducated and have no idea what's going on outside of the US. This makes you seem arrogant, especially because you're pretending to have invented drills. The whole world think u invented drill🤦🤦 Sry for my bad English but not the whole fckin world can speak good English

Jamaican version Most Uk slang is derived from Jamaican slang
I swear this is the most aggressive beat.... the bass is just hard...words can't explain man.... it's just pleasantly aggressive
It’s not immensely aggressive tbh, certainly not when compared to the likes of what Scarlxrd would rap/scream over. However, Drill is a notoriously “aggressive” genre, so I see what you’re saying. The beat isn’t overboard and it isn’t too light, it’s just right.
Most drill (even here in the UK) is aggressive
listen to aggressive gay hip hop my friend
Its bass mixed up with 808 slides
its because of the cords and the synths

Melo is a humble guy. Gives credit where it’s due. A lot of people forget what and who got them to where they are. And bear in mind this guy is one of the best drill producers ever 💯
Shame that he had to steal from Peter Gundry..
People think melo some fucking professional thief or some shit LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂
@@nazeemtrump2820 He literally stole the violin thing lol
@@retnugnahte he "stole" 4 seconds of it
@@nazeemtrump2820 that 4 seconds still needs clearance. Every artist have to clear every "4 seconds" worth of samples in every one of their songs do why doesn't this guy
Being a producer is lit tho Imagine being on the train and everywhere seeing people bop to a song you basically made and most times not even knowing you Like in the case of these low-key big shot/ big break producers but still getting your bread
Fr bro, it’s good for if you don’t want all the drama and attention but you still like making the music and getting the money
Facts
@@DHawkBeats how much do they make usually?
@@dhruve_ depends on the deal with the label and stuff but usually it’s a good amount like about as much as the artist makes from the song
@@dhruve_ probably similar to what artists
I know everyone’s first thought when they saw the title was “finally.”
Bro literallyyyyyy
das what i said
Yessir
Lol fr tho
Egg. Zactly!! 😆
Crazy you guys don’t realize how much skills this takes
Way harder than it looks
Not really. Drill beats are pretty simple to make. The mixing is what really differs to most other sub genres
I’m learning all this shit bro it’s not to bad
lmao it’s easy
It’s too much for the average American producer brain🤣🤣🤣
I like how this dude thinks he needs to “release” those sounds for us to get them. Like bruh I’m downloading this video and remaking the whole beat 😭
Same 😭😂
Yall funny asffff lmaooo I love us Underground producers lmaoooooo
Lmao. Most people dont know this trick. I would lowkey delete your comment
Being possessive about a snare is sad af like it’s 2020 we know what drums everyone uses nowadays. That’s shit is boomer mentality, being “oh this is my snare that I found bro, I can’t even give the name out cuz then you might steal my valuable snare sound”
Tretch haha fax dude
Rappers are nothing without producers !!
Yku lankawe unuth meka balanawada 😄. gammk thama ithin ehenan
That's cute
nah even xxxtentacion freestyled in 2017 freshman cypher and he didn’t need no beat
excatly ! you ain't a full artist if you can't produce your own beats... then the music is only your style 50% or less
tell that to ye

while this guy should have asked for permission for the sample, the people calling him talentless are outta pocket because this is a pretty interesting beat overall
Yh 808 melo is pretty talented..but yh sure shouldve went to peter first
5:37 “this is worldwide” He’s not cappin....even there in Italy this is still a banger
Bro I love how he says “Tunes” Instead of “Track” or “song”
american?
In the UK they say tune instead of in the US we say song
Chunes*
its become so normalised to call a song a tune in the uk, i think they say it in canada as well
@@MyNameIsOpTimized720 lol whys man so upset? He wasnt lying we say chunes in england, obviously the word is song but everyone calls songs 'tunes' here

Are you dumb fam??🤣🤣
It’s crazy how he was bigger in the UK than the US.
Initially Yh but then he became more popular in America just before he died
@@riyadinho6795 After * he died. Only people in the east coast was really fucking with Pop
kk yeh in general but we were hip to pop n were bumping outside the East coast too
the UK embraced him early because he embraced their version of drill and showed love to the sound. Love is love.
James Smith yeah facts the UK and the East Coast was fucking with Pop early
dior is my favourite song at the moment, the perfect mix of the dark, complex, incredibly made beat along with pops iconic voice and delivery…. it’s just fucking perfection, big ups everyone involved
Credit Peter Gundry for the "Dark Violin sample."
This was the song where I really started to become a fan of Pop Smoke.
I think everyone
MPR was also hard asf
Flexin was heat 🔥

Pop Smoke and 808 Melo made a huge wave. Hottest thing I've heard in a long time. It's a shame Pop Smoke is gone man. RIP

man watching these always gives me chills
I’m seeing a lot of UK dril vs. US drill in the comments but this video proves that when we link up together, a legacy is created 🇬🇧x🇺🇸. Long live the Woo💫
Straight fax, you guys made drill, we took it and made it something else, then you guys got inspired by the changes then we ended up having the best of both worlds 50/50 shit, I hope there’s more 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 collabs in the future not just in drill but hip hop in general
ette Chicago started drill, but you’re right from then on, the UK created the drill sound that’s poppin today, and then NY took it and made it more mainstream. I also hope that we’ll collaborate more in the future too, let’s see what the future holds...
TruMusic89 Yh I get u, but u gotta pay homage to the guys that created the genre even though it sounds much different to the UK/NY drill
@@nathanaeln554 bro, we all know Chicago started drill, and the UK pays homage, but stop bringing it up, UK and Chicago drill are completely different
Zeeshan Beats i agree, but I was making a correction to the beginning of the first reply because it simply wasn’t true. The UK created the drill sound that is popular nowadays though, without doubt.

Podvy yeah it is fr it’s the violin part that makes it like dark and serious
THEKID6 yeah 😬
Podvy he said he tried to make it dark I think it was like 5 minutes into the vid
Compared to old school UK drill beat it sounds like a party melody. For example Nitonb - It's me. Gives a more sinister vibe.
Violin part he stole from Peter Gundrys Coven
Gem 💎 thx for this video i been waiting for it ❤️ Rip W💫💫 and shoutout 808Melo this is crazy 🔥
You owe Peter Gundry credit man. Disrespectful and rude not to credit him for that violin piece.
calm down he probably forgot
HE CHOPPED THE SAMPLE UP AND MADE IT SOUND DIFFERENT. THATS ALLOWED.
@@anon9663 nope is not if the original owner of the sample doesnt agree :)
it's a sample that's been flipped beyond obvious recognition. if producers had to credit every lil unrecognizable sample they use there would be no hip-hop. all music is built on top of other music, let it be.
The person who made the sample gets paid for it he doesnt have to be in the title of the song the person gets the money for it
