Chords for The Making Of Chris Brown's "Pills & Automobiles" With OG Parker & Smash David | Deconstructed

_ [Eb] I love making music, [Bb] but there's nothing else I want to [Eb] do.
I couldn't picture anything [F] else.
[Gm] This is my last option, pretty much, [F] making beats.
[Gm] I mean, I grew up playing drums in church.
[F] I always have rhythm everywhere [Gm] I go.
I'm always [Eb] tapping, and that's how it [F] comes.
[Gm] With the Martians, they sent a lot of loops,
so you get a lot of different vibes
when you cook up with them.
[F] That's the coolest part about [Gm] collaborating.
It's just endless [F] opportunities,
[Gm] [Gb] so many different vibes that could come from it,
[Bb] so many minds going together.
It's just [Eb] so easy, because he can just send me [Gm] something,
and I just hear something, and just finish it,
[Ab] send it back, [Gm] and just vice versa,
and we just keep going.
_ [F] _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _
It was just [G] a whole night.
I was just like, I need to get a kit out tomorrow.
I was just crushing loop, loop, loop,
not even paying attention, pretty much,
just in the zone, just going, going, [F] going,
loop, loop, loop, and this became what it is.
[G] _ I'm kind of influenced by [F] EDM, [G] house music and stuff
that I listen to a lot.
All those kind of arps and everything,
that's just [F] the kind of vibe that I go for all the time.
_ _ [G] Okay, so I pretty [C] much started with this off of [D] Omnisphere.
It's a custom [Bb] little sound that I made on there. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[F] Then I added this [Gm] arp right here,
_ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] and then added this arp right here.
[Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] It's like ear candy.
You know, I usually have eye candy.
I [Eb] would call that ear candy.
_ [Bb]
So this one, this brings it all [Gm] to life.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Eb] The melodies are always just like [Gm] the base,
like the whole vibe of the beat, [Bb] you know?
[Gm] This melody, the main melody of the song came together.
I was just making a loop kit,
so I made probably like 100 loops,
[Gb] just over one [Gm] night, and then sent it over [Bb] to Smash David,
and then he just took it from there.
[Eb] _ [Dm] _
_ _ [G] YoungBerg hit me up to make up-tempo beats,
and then I hit up Marsh,
and then a few other people to send me a pack of loops.
I worked on like six to eight different loops,
and as I was making them, I would send them to OG.
I would grab the loop, add some drums,
make a simple little beat, and then send it to him,
and then he did his thing.
So we did like a good six,
and that's how [Gm] this one came about.
I mean, I was just playing [F] the loop,
_ [Gm] and as I was [Eb] playing it,
I mean, I always start [Bb] with the melody [Gm] first,
since I was already done.
I started adding the hi-hats,
[F] _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gm] and after that, I [Eb] added the clap.
_ [F] _ [Gm] _ _ Then [C] I had a little rhythm [Gm] going,
so I started adding the percussion,
[Eb] _ [Gm] which is the little rim in the back,
[F] _
_ [Gm] _ and I added the kick. _ _
_ And once I had that,
I just gave it a turn of vibe with the 808.
_ [F] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ After I had this, I just sent it to OG,
and then he just [F] did his thing.
_ [G] _ _ When I first heard it, like, I don't know,
I just got like this feeling,
like just something about it was just like,
I know this could definitely be a hit.
When he sent [Gm] it to me,
he had the 808 pattern a little different. _ _
_ [F] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [F] _
So [G] when I got it, I was like,
for the second half of the hook, I'ma switch it up.
So _ _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ then I knew it needed like a strong synth
to like set off the second half of the hook.
[Ab] So that's when I added [C] this sound. _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] But when I heard it, I was like, it needs [C] something.
So I went to this plugin called Effectrix,
and I put a loop on it.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So basically like, I don't know,
I guess it gave the beat kind of more character.
Like it was just missing [Gm] like,
you know what I'm saying?
Like that piece to complete the puzzle.
That gave it the vibe.
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[G] _ So it was a [Bb] sound in a VST [G] called Nexus,
[Cm] it's called a Contagious Pluck. _ _ _ _
It's just a random synth and I just, I don't know.
After we sent him the beat, he sang over that pluck,
which I feel [Ab] like gave it an even stronger melody.
[D] And you know what I'm saying?
It definitely sticks in everybody's head when they hear it.
[G] _ _ _ [Gm] I was making [F] music with one of Chris Brown's homies
called, his name is [D] Bobby Love.
We work a lot.
So we were [C] working on his tape.
And then he was [Eb] like,
I'm about to go to the studio with Brown,
send me some beats.
[Gm] So I sent him some beats and like,
I mean, I didn't know if anything was gonna come from it.
[C] And then he hit me the next day and was like,
[G] yo, Chris Brown got on like seven out of the 10 beats
you sent me.
I didn't [Gm] believe it at all.
When he told me, I didn't believe it.
I was like, so there's no paperwork?
I [Eb] don't believe nothing.
Doesn't sound real.
[G] And when he told me it was for sure and it came out,
I mean, we were just doing it.
I was driving, I was going like a hundred miles per hour
with my girl, she was scared [Ab] as hell.
I was just like [G] screaming like,
oh shit, [Cm] Chris Brown, [F] Kodak, all these people.
Like, it was [G] crazy.
_ _ Yeah, like when the song went platinum,
like I had just woken up with my phone blown up.
It was crazy.
Like, I've gotten a lot of plucks off this one song.
Every time that I hear this beat,
I just see those girls like at the water park.
Like, it's just lit.
[C] I [Gm] mean, it's more of an add on.
We already [C] have platinum plucks, so just another one.
[Gm] It's another milestone.
Just trying [C] to keep going, really.
