Timbo to the rescue yet again

what a proper video on the process should be. not that MTV junk. been listening to the new album non stop.

So Strong.

I clicked 'like it' before I even watched the video.

It's cool to glimpse the inside and see the same thing we were doing as kids with a keyboard/synth in the garage with all our friends... havin' fun and creating something unique. Although our goofy stuff didn't go platinum. ;)

I can't believe Kanye is now my contact. I must be really cool.

cool shit

Interesting to see what is going on behind the scenes. Kanye - you are a perfectionist and a half! Don't know of many other artists who would go back and mix drums again AFTER releasing the single!

Kanye! Tell A-trak his homie Red Eye Jedi in Memphis says ...holla!

Tim is phenomenal... "I've got every drum machine ever made, every choir..."

Like. LOVE. My new favorite video on Vimeo.

There is nothing that I am more interested in than the creative process - and this video gave me front row access. I could watch Kanye, Tim and their teams genius live and unfiltered all day long.

Please, keep em coming!

welp.... i went to itunes and bought the song....
HAPPY NOW?!?!?!

it is very cool to see how this comes together; not only the creativity but the thoroughness.

I love this man...the struggle, the drama, the end result. hot.

Very neat stuff people. Being able to witness the creative process behind the finished product makes people appreciate it that much more.

I would love to see more stuff like this

So sick.

perhaps a little more snare crack on beat 4? now i'm interested to hear how the final mix comes out....

Uncle Jim's Dairy Farm is public domain, and you can watch the whole thing at archive.org/details/UncleJim1963

I like to think Kanye watched Mystery Science Theater.

Very cool...loved the last clip!

The album keeps growing and growing, just like the chronic did back in the days.. MORE "in the making" clips pleaese!

Very cool to see how it came together. Stronger is a classic.

can someone please translate their genius-speak please, thank you

Ayo Technology! Keep the Vimeo videos comin' Ye'.

well...basically, kanye thought that the kick drums in the radio cut of stronger (which is the bass drum if you guys don't know what a kick is) were too flat, they didn't have enough punch to them. K brought in timbo to tinker the drums a little bit to make them thump more.

timberland said the reason why kanye's kick drums were so flat is that he didn't have any undertones to his kick drums. undertones are what really brings out the "thump" in the kick drums. timbo kept the original kicks in, and found one of his own that would compliment them. he added his own kick, in almost the same rhythym, but with a few more kicks.

compare the radio cut with the album cut and you'll see the difference may seem suttle at first, but listening to them back to back it's a HUGE difference.

it's interesting to see how you come to the final result...

I want to favorite this 9 million times. This was so brilliant.

Creative process makes my insides feel good. Especially from genius like that. Holy cow.

yes

Creativity ? For god's sake. They just added some random lyrics and a drumtrack over a Daft Punk track that was already good. Timbaland has never been original. Even his name is not original. He samples and steals from everybody else, so i certainly can't see where the creativity is.

And the video is not original, either. It borrows a lot from Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira.

I know what i'm going to do next: i'll rap over a Cassius track and i'll make a video stealing from Dragon Ball Z. I'll be a millionaire and then the n00bs will talk in the forums about "my" creativity.

hip hop was born from samples joe sax.

as was come to think of it house, drum and bass, etc etc.

It was awsome i loved it

that was way to cool.

I feel like firing up my music software now.

ha ha, reminds of what Tupac said about people going on and on about a stupid kick sound:

The 808 at 5:30 sounded so nice.

Proper, as we like to say up here in London England!

holy shit that was dope!!

This is really cool. It always fascinates me, seeing the creative process.

Ye, Timbaland at it again... damn Yeezy is the ultimate performer and entertainer...

fuck yeah.

Cool!
It's really interesting watching the B.T.S of the making of hit tracks.

awesome, i think often we listen to these songs without much thought about the amount of work that goes into producing them. was nice to see the other side.
