Classified - Beatin It Lyrics
Just give me a sec, I gotta make some beats
Yo, plug that in over there
Turn on the turntable, let the needle touch the record
I'll find the right sound, Im used to coping under pressure
You dig, you look, you skip tracks and skip back
After that you spit rap, to get ads, and hit ass
Yo wait, whats that, ya the piano part, bring it back
Ya, ya thats it right there
Now let me loop that in the sampler, piano piece caught my ear
Gimmie a sec, nothin better than a piano loop
Let me get this perfect, let me pitch it up a bit
A little faster might be worth it
Ya, ya, ok, 73 beats per minute, it still dont loop right
Let me try it 74, and that should make it loop tight
There we go, now this sample bumpin hard
It's giving me ideas already, the moods, the melody
Oh shit, Im losin track, wait, the beat still needs developing
Alright, I got my sample, so now I need a drum kit
Let me try out this one kick, ya thats somethin I can run with
Now I figure out a pattern like running plays and maddin
Let the kicks sit on the sample, make magic like Aladdin
And now I need a snare, so let me try this here
Nah, its too dirty, the kick's too clear, it doesnt mix right
So let me try this rim shot, a little bit of hand clap, to give it a touch of hiphop
Ok, that kinda work, ya I like that
Maybe add some cymbals, nah fuck it, dont need no high hat
But maybe add a shake of somethin slick and smooth like (sound)
Loop that, cut it, and make it move right
Ok I need a joint
Yo pass that over
Just one puff
Just wanted to get something in my head, you know
Take me somewhere else before I drop this back
Ya I drop the drum now, listen how the drum sound
It's almost there, but this aint done, and I aint tryin to jump the gun now
Track is soundin ripe, but I aint finished man, this take time
Still adjustin levels and gotta filter out the baseline
Like, just turn the highs way down, there we go
Now I got my base sound, drop the beat again
Ya that soundin better now, drum is soundin crisp
Base is thick, ya the base is thick so now what could I lace wit it?
Guess I'll put a change in it, rearrange a bit, add some things
And take you to another place wit it, music is moods
Dont matter how its produced, dont matter what tool you use
Or the instruments that you choose (nope)
It's all about listen, I can switch right quick
From laid back, to hype shit
Wit a drum roll, crash, and a tight kick
Bring back the piano, switch between your two samples
Turn up the clap, and piano shakers to the left channel
Ya its workin, almost sound complete
But I probably wont be using it, Jordan, you want this beat?
[Jordan Croucher:]
Ya I kinda like the way this beat is flowin out
Maybe later on I'll write some shit and put it down
And I know, oh shit, yo yo hold on, hold on, hold on
Let me get that back, hold on, hold on
Ya I kinda like the way this beat is flowin out
Maybe later on I'll write some shit and put it down
And I know, that this could be the sound, oh ya
Ya, ya that'll do it
Something like that yo
Aight
We'll do somethin like that, thats the riff right there
I'm feelin that man, thatll work
Ya, ya
Aiight I'll finish this beat up, I'll burn it off for ya
Just give me a couple more minutes

FLAMES... i used to show everyone this back in the day buffet... psh.. pre 2008 2009 i think
this thing is amazing!
Beating it is the shit
Classified is Good stuff Respect from Germany!!!
2019 still runnin' this.
This drove me crazy for years. The piano sample is Tom Waits Ice Cream Man. This drove me seriously nuts for a long, long time.
And why don’t we have more artists like this?!?!? This is a “class”ic!
All time fav
10 years F$%k yeah🍁
Heard this in a pile of random tracks and I loved it, had to hear it again.
Persona 5 anyone?
FUCK JDOUGLAS
thank you for inspiring me within the first time I heard it. rarely happens anymore these days. I hope I can craft something as unique as this.
Tom Waits Ice Cream Man
bumpin in 2017
this is a great song man!! very creative i fuck with it ! flow is on point man lyrics incredble! nobody could of done it better take my word for it :P
anyone else think at first that this was a song about masterbation?
NamTheElite damn dude why the negative vibe? Im a huge fan of classified, been a fan for years, but c'mon you mean to tell me that when you read the title you didn't hear Sterling Archer in the background shouting "UM PHRASING!"? it's a funny sounding title that's all I'm saying.
Not really. The title is pretty blatantly multi-contextual like that. Just another perspective. Not childish.
love to hear this guy spit something angry sometime , i recognize his skill for sure but , his taste just simply is not for me , other then this song, this one is just too good
He's Canadian, we are not angry people... for the most part.
get shot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5cqfPSuniw&list=RDiU3lOausqGU&index=25
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Too "high" to be brought down to that level.
the masses are missing out on this work of art.
That title sounds so wrong.... Lol
In-fucking-credible
Salamat po!
Canada for life . fuck yall haters .
@Scott Job
I can't even take you seriously when you say shit like "breh" .. grow up you fucking white boy.
You know, I'm really broken up about your opinion in these youtube comments Amy, just heartbroken!
@Scott Job
Opinion is the falsest form of foundation.. Everything I said was factual.. You're a weak skinny ass white boy who uses words like "breh"... enough said really.. you're a joke
pretty sure to rhyme is old as time bud , also if your taking the factual high horse you should try and voice YOUR opinion a little differently , id start with assuming scott job's size , race and what kind of person he is, impressive facts im seeing here hahahahah , also im really sorry about that whole racist thing , i hope youll mentally leave the fuckin jail cell one day "BREH" , live well, jerk off
Canada is a mix of American and British culture actually. More-so European than American prior to Harper.
Wow!! HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT GET THE TOM WAITS SAMPLE??!! I'm a HUGE Tom Waits fan, and I'm a HUGE Classified fan. I've listened to this song for years, and have listened to Ice Cream man for years too and never even made the connection. I feel dumb now. That's awesome. I like Class even more now that he knows Tom haha.
Holy fuck!!!! How did I not see this
@Tyson MacEachern Right??!! Hahahaha probably the same reason I didn't :p lmfao.
EOMs remix is waaaay better!
In your opinion maybe. I don't know how you can think that remix is better than the original though.
@coolspot377 Which original?!
@Hert Niks lmaooo that is not better.., the piano part is the best! I just check out the other video you said, it made my ears bleed it sucks..
@jason belliveau I just love EOM's style more. To each their own. Just like I like jazz, you probably hate it.
Modern day classic
ok i need a joint ...... lol
just one puff!
FUCK MIKE CHANG
#clear

www.soundcloud.com/yayjay
How'd I miss this guy?! dope track
I see how it sounds like the beat is from Tom Wait's "Ice Cream Man" but the piano loop is actually from "The Voyage" by the Moody Blues (towards the end of the song)
Yea I didn't think it was Tom Waits either, although it does sound similar.
this shit hard af foreal ^^^fuck with it^^^
... okay I need a joint. Loll
Fackkkk. class is sick , I know he doesn't want to be mainstream and I really don't want him to either...but I KNOWWWWW he and drake could make a badass track at least . He's a vet compared to drake but unfortunatley that doesn't mean much these days
I have the cd so these fuckers can't count me
36 losers can't make beats!
C.A.N.A.D.A!

it's called not getting fat like you you fucking cheese burger eating greasy fucking oily sick tub o fuckin lard getting eaten by a whale shitting out a cartman
Butthurt -_- Why don't you say that to your fellow american judging the exact same way. All he's doing is returning the favor to the one that started it...
i do kind of agree with you, but not all of the united states are obese.

Your human, I'm human and we share the world
Stop making stupid generalizations and listen to classified. Who gives a FUCK about where you come from.
Im an american. Im in very good shape.
i'm sorry that i'm going to live longer and do more fun stuff than you....

Ok, Tom waits is one of my favorite jazz artists! Very dark and morbid yet very emotional and loving. Check him out! Here is the link for the song classified sampled: /watch?v=OHGG3vj5kcQ Enjaoy :)

America? Which one? North, Central, South? Ignorant fuck.
not obese like America, but still fat as fuck in relation to the rest of the world...but hey at least we still own in hockey.
favourite song ever!
A great song by Tom Waits sampled beautifully by Classified! Class A shit.
because the majority of the north american public are stupid as fuck, doesn't matter which side of the border you're on.
why the fuck are people fighting over country's were here to listen to fucking music not to talk shit and create hate!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH get a job
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TOUGH GUY? PGLT PRN MUHFUCKA DONT FUCK WITH ME BRICK SQUAD SON
soooo fucking dirty!!!! great track. Much respect to the East Coast from T dot.
fuck the USA, capitalist dogs
classified is the savior of hip-hop
listen to this on shrooms and just stare at the picture
i'm canadian but like it or not the states have better hip-hop artists. i mean class is pretty dope but down south they got wutang, mobb deep, mos def, black thought... can't compete against that lineup. needs more canadian hip-hop content!!

Nah, Class doesn't need to sell out.
The piano loop is Edith? What is the track called?
Check out how i flipped this sample look up illumination remix - slip my gloves on

I believe your are exactly correct thank you~!
whoever thumbs down this song is a terrorist.
The name of this track makes me feel rather uncomfortable when I type it in the search bar...

@fuzzypinkdildo Hey hey ! Whoaa Man Whoa ! Not all of America is like that just the 97 percent. And this is from a skinny American lol
SWAG is an understatement.
Fuck you buddy
Canadians know what's upppppppppppppp !
I'm actually really surprised that after four years this video only has 284k views. Oh well. Hollywood Undead was like that and then they got big, hopefully he will too.
31 people have never made a beat
