There we go.
1, 2, 3, go.
If I can't talk verbally to you--
[MUSIC PLAYING]
--my music can.
Oh, that's dope.
[MUSIC - JAY-Z, "DIRT OFF YOUR SHOULDER"]
It's all about your energy, what you put into the record.
(RAPPING)
The beat has to be infectious first.
(RAPPING)
You gonna learn about filling, vocals, software.
[SINGS BEAT]
We're gonna talk about some of my hits.
"Dirt Off Your Shoulder" is three instruments.
You're going to learn about how I can take something simple
and make it complex.
You don't need a big old studio to do what you need to do.
You can do this on your own if you have
your computer and your mic.
Watch this.
[BEAT PLAYING]
Yeah.
I start from scratch making a beat with my mouth.
[SINGING TUNE]
Melody.
Beat.
[BEATS]
Cymbals.
Then I can duplicate it on a drum machine.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
This will be the idea.
Use it as a template and create around it.
Hey.
See, the feeling is getting there.
Now, I have to go in the booth.
(SINGING)
There's no thought process.
It's all about having fun.
That's dope.
(SINGING)
Stop.
You see what the feeling made me do?
That's what it should do to you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I want to give all the knowledge that I can give.
That's what I'm here on Earth to do.
We have so much available to us that it's all
in you, in what you want to do.
If you love it that much, it's gonna happen.
I'm Timbaland, and this is my MasterClass.
