Nearly every distinct element of the song is built around 6LACK\u2019s saucy lead vocal to make it stand out. Let\u2019s start by discussing one of its foundational characteristics: heavy use of repetitive motifs, both lyrical and melodic. Take the song\u2019s very first phrases, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018You a god-damn lie\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ain&#8217;t mean to say that shit girl I was god-damn high<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we left the crib now we in the god-damn ride<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She lookin&#8217; god-damn fine\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides rhyming and repeating \u201cgod-damn\u201d the last syllables of each line are perfect matches in rhythm and pitch. The melody is easy to remember and sing along to: it\u2019s just three quarter note triplets on the same pitch. Even for someone with no vocal talent at all, this is pretty easy to mimic, and more importantly it\u2019s easy to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pop songwriters have a saying &#8211; there should be a hook every six seconds. That means that almost every two bars, you\u2019re going to hear something that you can remember, sing along to, or quote to your friends. This song is a great example of the this strategy\u2019s power, so try it for yourself: if you scrub around randomly through \u201cPrblms\u201d and listen for six seconds, you\u2019re almost always going to hear something that can stick in your head. It\u2019s especially easy to catch onto lyrics that show up over and over again throughout the track, like the playful but incredulous admonishment \u201cWhy you do that?\u201d or the stark major third to perfect fourth jump executed on \u201cPlenty of queens in my home-town\u201d in the chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A cleverly implemented sample<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of repetition, let\u2019s talk about the second compositional element that makes \u201cPrblms\u201d such a banger. Did you notice that the flute sample (lifted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7wVbH6roY8w\">Forest Swords&#8217; &#8220;Irby Tremor&#8221;<\/a>) doesn\u2019t change throughout the entire length of the track? How is it that such a repetitive lead could still be interesting, despite not exhibiting any variation for four minutes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer might lie in the audio effects. The sample is absolutely dripping wet with reverb, which makes the sound seem as though it is constantly shifting position in the stereo field. Despite being the only melodic element living in the mid frequency range besides the voice, the sample really never catches the listener\u2019s ear. Since it\u2019s so wide, wet and expansive, it\u2019s very difficult for the ear to localize and place, so it\u2019s de-emphasized as a melodic focal point through the mix decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Positioning the flute lower in the mix makes it easier to focus on the vocal, but that\u2019s not the whole story here. Compositionally speaking, the flute sample uses upward, mostly stepwise motion to lead up to the third beat of each measure, where we hear either a nice big slappy snare or a particularly emphatic vocal (\u201cGod-damn lie,\u201d \u201cI ain\u2019t worried about shit,\u201d \u201cI found me a new thing\u201d). The sample leads up and down throughout the track, keeping the energy flowing on a phrase-by-phrase basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drums that complement rather than distract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By now we\u2019ve seen that the repetitive vocal patterns maintain the vibe throughout the length of the track, and the flute sample introduces movement on a phrase-by-phrase basis. The last element we have to consider is the beat. It would probably take about 10 seconds to program the drums for this track. We\u2019ve got simple 8th note hats, snare on beat 3, and a pretty standard rap kick pattern. How does this bang so hard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from picking great-sounding drum samples, this is another example of programming the instrumentation to (say it with me!) complement the vocal performance. When there are important lines in the vocal, or hooks that draw your ears\u2019 attention, the hats or the drums drop out completely. Again, the track is built to emphasize the most significant vocals hooks throughout the entire track to make it even more of an earworm. Listen to lines like \u201cRemember that I tried to build ya,\u201d or the \u201cnew thing\u201d or \u201chometown\u201d vocal lines in the chorus. You\u2019ll notice that as the drums drop out the vocals really shine through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can try composing this way in your own productions, too. Try making a quick 4 bar loop, then drawing it out for an extended section of your track. Then, think about where the most important or interesting melodic bits of your track exist. Try visualizing your drums as a block of marble: there\u2019s a great sculpture hiding somewhere in there, and your job is to reveal it. Chiseling the MIDI patterns away by deleting individual notes from the piano roll, or even automating the mute function on your full drum bus for a split second will set you on the path to creating a simple, yet interesting beat that complements the rest of your track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, 6LACK\u2019s \u201cPrblms\u201d works because he picked a strategy and executed it. \u201cPrblms\u201d shows that sticking to the basics by combining simple but effective production techniques with an outstanding vocal and catchy writing is a sure-fire way to score a major hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn what makes other GRAMMY-nominated tracks tick?
