EXTENDED CUT - A Tribe Called Quest’s Hip Hop MASTERCLASS

Today I'm breaing down "Midnight Marauders" by A Tribe Called Quest - recreating some of the legendary beats from the original samples, talking with mixer and engineer Bob Power on the creation of this album, and seeing 4 distinct ways that this album is monumental for hip hop and music history in general. We hope that you will find this video precise, bass heavy, and just right.      

Thanks again to Bob Power - check out more from him at https://www.bobpower.com/  and check out our full convo - video on Patreon, audio on the DTG Podcast  

Rest in Peace Phife Dawg

The tribe remix 🤯

Viraj Ajmeri

😂😂😂 someone commented on the YouTube video yesterday “maybe just hum the samples?”

Brandon Shaw

Not to say your vocal recreation of instruments wasn't a valiant replacement 😆

Jake Truman

Yes! Actually getting to listen to the clip I’m talking about

Brandon Shaw

This is vastly more entertaining when you aren't forced to cut out the music. Such a great music education.

Jake Truman

I loved seeing the mix of YouTube comments about the voiceover - ranging from “that was perfect” to “why is there a robot lady talking?” 😂
