Verse 2 (28bars) – Same as verse 1 excluding the vocals and extra noises Eminem addsĬhorus (8bars) – Identical to first chorus The only extra elements added in the choruses are a reversed cymbal and orchestral drums in the last bar before the chorus to increase suspense, a synth chord progression added behind the mix and the addition of the plucked electric guitar. Eminem’s vocal percussive parts also come into play.Ĭhorus (8bars) – The main elements of the song (kick, snare, bass and harpsichord) stay the same or are looped throughout the whole song. Verse 1 (28 bars) – The continuation of these instruments from the intro with the addition of the snare and high hats with some slight manipulations such as pauses and off beat snares. Intro (8bars) – kick, harpsichord and both basses come in with the same lines they eventually play in the chorus with eminems vocals,’can I have your attention please,’ being said shortly after with a tape delayed effect being used. The MPC300 drum machine which are very commonly found in the producer Dr Dre’s productions. This is accompanied by a synthetic harpsichord, a few piano ideas another background synth (Chorus) another guitar at the end of the song with a wah effect used and a drum machine including a kick drum snare hi hat and a number of other percussive samples. There are two different basses, one natural bass guitar which sounds to be DI’d and a synthetic modulated keyboard bass. Instrumentation and structure: All of the instruments used in this track are made synthetically excluding the bass and guitar (chorus). This of course will be an evolving trend as living circumstances and musical genres change. This hardness and repetitiveness of the kick and snare in this recording reflect that of the strife marshal went through in his early life and repeated to until he got his hip hop career up and running. It is important socially and emotionally to pass on the messages not only through lyrics but also through the production. The First song I have chosen to analyse is Eminem’s ‘The Real Slim Shady’Įminem or Marshal Mathers like a lot (generalising) of rappers/hip hop artists come from a harsh background usually living in quite poor conditions or struggling through family strife. Because it is such a huge part of the industry it is imperative to know the basis of all songs using them such as Instrumentation, Spectral, Dynamics, Stereo Imaging structure/genre. There are many different genres utilising electronic instruments. Nowadays it would be hard to find some artists who don’t have any music recorded with at least something synthesised.
