“i SHYNE” is the most obnoxious song possible.
Pump is already obnoxious as fuck, then you give him a beat that is disgusting like that.
I'm also obnoxious, so you add that in there and “i SHYNE” happened.
Going into the EDM world when the whole trap thing, the EDM trap thing happened, it was
basically the same shit I was doing, but with a different structure and a couple different
sounds.
I was making a lot of hip hop beats were just 808, just strong 808.
A big origin of what I knew I could do with this EDM trap stuff was after I made
"Big Spender" for A$AP Rocky, Theophilus London.
A lot of people forget that I produced that.
Everyone in the electronic world is trying to do something with rap music now, when they
were bashing on me doing it five years ago.
So, I'm the Lebron of this shit.
This project was started on December 21st, 2017.
I made this beat in like five minutes.
I was just making weird stuff and then I just got into the zone.
I like to start with the melody, because with the melody I get to find the swing and the
catch of things and figure out how I'm going to do the drums and stuff.
The first thing was the synthesizer.
So that sounds completely different, right?
I reverb, had a clipper, two EQs.
Made it sound really fucking piercing, then I slowed it down.
Reversed it.
Then I put a gross beat on it, so it took it down.
I wanted a fat snare.
This is the high hats.
Got the kick.
My infamous way more louder 808.
This is a sound pack 808 from Loud Pack.
Cut the end out a little bit, trimmed it.
So, what I like to do with the 808s, I like to put Maximus, which is just like a crazy
compressor.
I'll play you what it sounds like without it.
I mean it still hits, but it hits harder, you know?
I like to keep it simple.
Four bars, intro to a beat.
It's just simple.
You just want to get to the fucking point.
I’m also, obviously from the electronic world, so I like to bring that drop.
So, then I sent it to Pump.
My birthday is January 3rd, so I remember he recorded the song January 2nd.
I had to play New Year's Eve in Myanmar.
I took a couple days off for my birthday.
So, I'm fucked out of my mind on January 2nd.
It's my birthday.
It's January 3rd now, and Pump calls me, he's like, "Yo, I'm going to the studio to record it."
I'm fucking like, "Yes! Finally he's gonna do it."
I obviously finally went to sleep like midday, 12 o'clock.
Wake up, and Pump posted the teaser.
And that's just when everything went crazy.
I think we had, he had like 3 million views on his Instagram in eight hours.
It was ridiculous.
It was the birthday present anybody could give me.
When I make beats, I already envision what rapper I want on it.
If I can't get that person, I just never do anything with the beat.
I'm really picky about that.
It was awesome because I was telling everybody like, “Watch I'm gonna get Pump on this."
"It's gonna be crazy.”
Then it happened.
Kayvan: You have any favorite lines from this song?
Carnage: Yeah, right here.
“ESKEETIT!”
