00:06.200 --> 00:07.084
Hey, what's up?

2
00:07.085 --> 00:10.224
This is Boi-1da, here at Phase One
Studios with Mix With The Masters.

3
00:10.226 --> 00:13.159
I'm here to break down one of
my favorite beats that I've ever made,

4
00:13.161 --> 00:14.599
"Mafia" by Travis Scott.

5
00:19.598 --> 00:21.747
I produced this song,
I think it was maybe,

6
00:21.748 --> 00:24.417
this beat was made
two years ago, maybe.

7
00:24.418 --> 00:25.750
I produced it
with Jahaan Sweet,

8
00:25.751 --> 00:28.177
frequent collaborator
of mine, musical genius.

9
00:28.178 --> 00:29.048
Shout-out to Jahaan.

10
00:29.049 --> 00:32.727
Very simplistic beat we made on
FruityLoops, FL Studio 11.

11
00:32.728 --> 00:35.017
Not much going on with it,
you know what I'm saying?

12
00:35.018 --> 00:38.367
Just simplistic, how I like it,
how it always goes around me.

13
00:38.368 --> 00:40.542
So we'll get
right into it.

14
00:49.386 --> 00:51.835
Again, this track came
together super quick.

15
00:51.836 --> 00:56.435
It just came from Jahaan on the keys,
and just playing something,

16
00:56.436 --> 00:58.236
and he found
a beautiful loop.

17
01:04.491 --> 01:06.770
So I was really just trying
to get a groove off.

18
01:06.771 --> 01:10.471
I kind of started it like
this, but I was like...

19
01:13.388 --> 01:17.220
And I was like,
"Nah, that's just too basic."

20
01:17.221 --> 01:18.921
I just wanted to...

21
01:18.922 --> 01:23.171
I just kept playing around with
different patterns, scattering shit.

22
01:24.700 --> 01:27.260
And then I just
came up with this...

23
01:31.834 --> 01:33.353
I really just
liked that bop.

24
01:33.354 --> 01:35.156
I was like,
"This is really good."

25
01:38.784 --> 01:42.035
So, then after, I just
kept on adding over it.

26
01:51.000 --> 01:54.700
The most important thing, I would say,
is just getting it down to that point.

27
01:55.630 --> 01:59.074
I'm not advising anybody, like,
"Hey, make quick music,"

28
01:59.075 --> 02:02.727
but if it's coming out quick
and you know what you're doing,

29
02:02.728 --> 02:04.585
then so be it,
you know what I'm saying?

30
02:04.586 --> 02:08.423
But, definitely learn about
your craft first and master it first.
