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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nl2Wn1pjrs
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFiHKcYA4jY
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.

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.
