was going down a YT rabbit hole of behind the scenes/in studio/making of vids.

lots of good ones out there - some of my favorites for different reasons:
kanye/timbaland working on stronger - really showing the work that can go into a single song

Black milk making this random beat (was it ever used?) was just fun to see; lookin like he's in a basement, just choppin samples, havin fun.

What are some of yall's favorites/types of these vids? Genius has started doing those "deconstructed" joints which show producers walking through songs they've produced. vox does the video essays (that's def a thing now, right?) where they dive into certain elements of a particular song. Rhythm Roulette does the on the spot beatmaking ones.

I'd love to see more behind the scenes/making of stuff that's been released. like, it would be cool to see bts of a rihanna writing camp that ends up with a hit song, or a straight, unedited hour of a 9th wonder/rapsody session, or SOBxRBE working on a record etc.

like, i wonder what it looked like in the studio when Jay heard Big Pimpin

Also any producer freaking a sample or the aforementioned JayZ moments are always great.

Dr. Dre

DJ Premier, especially footage of him cooking up a beat in front of an MC.

Biggie assembling his verses by chilling in the studio

The Roots, it's one thing to watch a producer create a beat on his / her own, it's another thing entirely to have to workshop a beat together which 6 other people.

Radiohead

Q-Tip

Kendrick, it would be interesting to see him form his final songs from the demo version. I don't know anything about his process really but I wonder if he's just doing take after take to fine tune the finished product of if he just gets up and spits it out.

De la, especially the sessions with Prince Paul

Michael

Prince, I'm not a big fan of his but he's such a great artist that seeing him work would be interesting.

The Beatles

Stevie

Miles

Coltrane

Mingus

Some of his rhymes are so goddamn intricate.
I'd love to see the process of how one of his songs gets created
with sounwave and T.

Missy's first album.

Pretty much anything from the initial Dungeon Family run.

I'm sure a lot of our favorite artists pre-2000 were like "Nah, get them fuckin cameras outta here, that shit fucks up the vibe."
