7:45 Jay Z just casually hears a great beat, then goes immediately into the studio and spits out, straight from his mind, one of the greatest rap songs ever. Jay Z’s out of this world talented.
@@alandemarest9952 nah it’s more than just than just being a “great producer.” Most great producers will be like Timberland…providing amazing beats, bobbing their heads and watching the reaction from the artist. Kanye did all that but also knew how to convert it into a song, concert experience and an album. This takes more than just being a “great producer.”
If you heard jay he said he wanted them to make the beats there nothing in the crate. N pharrell said he had a bunch of hits on his bus. Kanye def shined on thos album
Most of tims real money has come from producing pop music. He was just feeling his music and happy to be in the studio with an old friend, by that point him and Jay had worked plenty times before that.
@@thisisit130 😂🤣😂brush your shoulders off is was not Tims biggest record, and he made way more money off other records. You have to think, on any record the producer is getting paid the most. He gets paid for the beat itself and also gets a significant amount of points on the record. If you dont know what points are do your research. Also tim was already huge by this point doing pop and r&b. Rap has made him the least money in his career.
I get legit chills watching this man. I was obsessed with this album. When Jay was going to do his Black Album concert at Madison Square garden he announces a warm up concert in Lowell, Massachusetts. I couldn’t believe it. Bought tickets immediately blowing my whole savings from my high school job at FYE lol. To this day it’s my favorite concert of all time. Jay-Z doing one of the greatest albums of all time in front of a live orchestra man it was unreal. He did Reasonable Doubt classics, had Mary J Blige, Beyoncé, everyone man. What a night. What an album. What an all time artist.
lol nah just spitting facts, like jay z but he doesn't half bite other peoples songs and lyrics, i do think he's overrated cos his wife is beyonce.people try make them michelle and obama of hip hop lol. he is one of the goats i agree just not the goat @@keatonwoods60
Jays persistence and absolute INSISTENCE on finding the right beat is exactly why he is where he is. He doesn’t just hear the first best and go “yeah that’s fine” like some rappers, he really makes sure every single song is a reflection of himself and it’s why he always has such amazing verses
what are you on about lol, what rappers take the first beat they hear? the difference in production is taste. also, his rapping ability has a lil bit to do with his success but maybe that's just me
ha! Kanye had already worked on the blue print and had already worked on other projects including beanie seagels debut, the one producer that was the least famous and not even on this video was 9th Wonder. 9th played him some tracks and he didn't like any of them, then 9th made what's now "threat" and Jay loved that shit
@Ewarton Charlton New fans lmao, get the fuck out of here. If you think he only produced a "handful of tracks" for artists who weren't on Rocafella you need to go look some shit up, your memory is obviously failing you. There's no way you had his mixtapes at the time to come out with that bullshit either. Kanye produced 5 tracks on Blueprint, an instant classic and his production was a huge part of it. He blew up immediately after that album dropped. he was absolutely not a fucking "unknown" within hip-hop. Go look up his production work between the Blueprint and the Black Album and get back to me. He wasn't known as an artist or as a producer who'd sell records by his name (Neptunes, Timbaland), but he was fucking hot as fuck within hip-hop already at this point. Any heads knew exactly who he was.
William Hord yep. I’ve been feeling hella old over here because I was like, “yo!!! Ricky fucken Rubin and Mikey muthafucken diamond! Everyone else: Tim! Pharrell! Kanye!
copy & paste "(ALL) When RAPPERS Hear New Songs... (Jay Z, Kanye, Puff Daddy, DJ Khaled, Drake, Future, Eminem...)" into youtube & look at the thumbnail Jay's face says it all
Kanye and Pharrell explaining how the album was supposed to feel like a movie makes perfect since, I’ve always had a thing with this album that When I hear it that I can see exactly who what when and where each song takes place.
øsmaKkx YUNG BLAS maybe there’s actually two Ye’s. One saw the other one in the studio and was like “damn this dude hot” and then fell in love with that Kanye. So the artist is actually different from the public figure, and when he says “I love you like Kanye loves Kanye” he means it literally.
Nothing, I mean NOTHING else will top that studio moment with Timbaland. Its been years already, NO other studio moment comes close to this one. Timbaland the GOAT with Jay Z.
Jay sees Timbaland brush his shoulders off "You need to get that dirt off your shoulders", Jay hears Kanye say murder capitol "Im from the murder capitol where they murder for capitol", Jay listens to Pharrell's Carlitos way speech "Shit I know how this movie ends, still I play... star role in 'Hovito's Way"
Hearing jay z explain that he doesn't glorify, he reports on what he had to do and what he had observed in his environment was powerful. Only someone who is completely removed from the pain of that kind of life could ever think he was speaking on it with happiness. Its pride to survive for sure but not happiness.
all retirement jokes aside .... The Black Album was fuckin magnificent. every track plays, not 1 skip. this footage is just a testament to it's greatness. nice to hear what didn't make the final cut. top shelf producers.
harlemdiplo Ehh. I personally skip Allure & Threat (everyone loves that track but I just can’t get with it). But I do agree, The Black Album is one of Jay’s most concise along with The Blueprint and now 4:44 to a lesser extent. Plus how the album plays out like a night at a theatre or something with the more mature lush bombastic production and portions with intro, interlude, encore, shoutout end credits, change of clothes, etc is very entertaining. Defo one of those albums best heard from start to finish.
Notice how he went to 4 different producers and they all had their own sound. That diversity and originality isn’t in hip hip producers anymore. They all use the same sounds and make the same kind of beats. Also, Timbaland is on a whole other level lol.
Not true, they make beats that cater to the current market, ur a stupid producer if you are making boom bap when all artists want are trap beats. I guarantee you guys like metro booming could probably make boom bap shit but just don't really see a lucrative market for it so they don't waste their time because time is money.
I was in 3rd Grade, my father took me to Best Buy and bought the black album 💿 (RIP DAD) Jay-Z is the greatest rapper imo of all time born in 94. I produce music now so coming back to watch these videos is super inspirational 🐐

Damn when you see how involved kanye was you could tell he was gonna be amazing. He was involved with the best songs on the album and the hooks and even the video and visual concepts. pure genius
My favourite part is at 8:10 when he drops his hard hitting "Ask about me" line during Dirt Off Your Shoulder and even the audio engineer pauses and looks over like "Yeah this shit is gonna be a hit"
Yeh, The Black Album, i remember when he said this is his last album. We got finessed on that one. Also, Timberland set Jay up for that beat. Played him some mediocre stuff, to set him up for the banger.
Horse Cock Express whatttt none of the beats TIMBERLAND played were mediocre lol they were miles better than most of the other beats tim out classed everyone tbh except Kanye all his shit was legit
So RR was responsible for suggesting Jay acapella the start of 99 Problems. Which is one of the best parts of the song and one of the best intros to a rap track ever. The guy is godlike
Gotta love Pharell accusing Just Blaze of playing dirty as far as waiting for the album to be done to hear what people did before giving out his heat.... and he's right PSA was the last record recorded shortly before mastering for the Black Album.
This report is great, thanks for that. Best thing about that wasn't the last plate from that absolutely inspiring grace. He should release an album with the untaken tracks on they hadn't use for Black Album
It's just amazing to watch Jay's process and all the producers like Kanye and Timbaland and Pharrell. I had this movie a long time ago and I recommend you watch the entire thing, concert and all.
The crazy part of this album is that it was such a big deal that we all have memories of where we were or what we did while listening to it.. I was in middle school rocking the black album on the way to the gym..you never needed to skip a track they were all dope!
Jay: “This is my LAST album.”
Narrator: “It wasn’t.”

The Black Album and American Gangster was big soundtracks to my life.
💯
the fact that lucifer was a reference track from kanye just blew my mind. classic
"kanyeezy you a genius for this one!! " Jay Z has said this numerous times on his own songs about Kanye West
Tf is a reference track
@@winterwarden if you were a rapper it’d be if I made a song for you and then you went and re recorded
@@na2898 like kanye made the instrumental and shit? he didn't write no shit did he? cheers bro
@@winterwarden a reference track includes lyrics but I’m sure jay added his own in addition
Damn when you see how involved kanye was you could tell he was gonna be amazing. He was involved with the best songs on the album and the hooks and even the video and visual concepts. pure genius
The energy between ye and jay in their session is beautiful
Jay addressing Just's video game addiction is hilarious. It's true though.
What I appreciate about this video is the fact that HOV seems humble through all of it
Thank you for this 🙏🏾
I like how the different flavors of each producer is so dope.
My favourite part is at 8:10 when he drops his hard hitting "Ask about me" line during Dirt Off Your Shoulder and even the audio engineer pauses and looks over like "Yeah this shit is gonna be a hit"
Yeh, The Black Album, i remember when he said this is his last album. We got finessed on that one. Also, Timberland set Jay up for that beat. Played him some mediocre stuff, to set him up for the banger.
Those beats was not mediocre lmaoo especially that first one he played
@@alopez9527 That first one was crazy!
Horse Cock Express whatttt none of the beats TIMBERLAND played were mediocre lol they were miles better than most of the other beats tim out classed everyone tbh except Kanye all his shit was legit
kgain673111 “alright, you pick”
@@joshw8854jw sure but he saved the best for last and he knew it
This is magic. I remember watching this year's ago!!
Wow, I’m so glad they filmed this very creative time and process.
this was Jay last album 4 albums ago lol gotta love Hov

Facts 😂😂😂😂
"Can't Leave Rap Alone The Game Needs Me"
So RR was responsible for suggesting Jay acapella the start of 99 Problems. Which is one of the best parts of the song and one of the best intros to a rap track ever. The guy is godlike
And Chris Rock told him to play that for Jay
JAY Z WAS COLD DURING THAT ERA 🥶🥶🥶
timberland drinking high fructose corn syrup by the gallon
Kanye West's Lucifer beat and rhymes just at another level
8:07 the sound engineer looking at the screen and then at Jay like "whaaat?! These power levels are unheard of!" 😂
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 The best part in the video
From bricks to Billboard, from grams to Grammy's
i remember watching this on repeat over and over again. appreciating the art and process…
I always come back and watch this video !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kanye had the whole studio rockin facts
"When you start thinking, you start forcing music which is never good."
Appericiated🙏
The level of greatness in this video is insane!
Gotta love Pharell accusing Just Blaze of playing dirty as far as waiting for the album to be done to hear what people did before giving out his heat.... and he's right PSA was the last record recorded shortly before mastering for the Black Album.
Ludacris only got the Potion beat cause Jay-Z heard the Dirt off your shoulders beat right after n forgot about it.
Cats miss that
Actually jay and peedi crack passed it up , peedi crack had it for the state property album but they said it didn’t fit the mood for the album
The very first beat he played was on Brandy's album "Aphrodisiac." The song is called "Come as you are."
I knew I heard that beat b4 I couldn't think which 1 it was
😅😂😅
Allure is one of my favorite songs. This song is truly special. That song is a feeling
This report is great, thanks for that. Best thing about that wasn't the last plate from that absolutely inspiring grace. He should release an album with the untaken tracks on they hadn't use for Black Album
It's just amazing to watch Jay's process and all the producers like Kanye and Timbaland and Pharrell. I had this movie a long time ago and I recommend you watch the entire thing, concert and all.
K. Kelly what is the full movie called?
Fade to black
@@abergs-dp2ob 📝
seen it a few times, the best imo next to Pac.
7:10 Timbaland casually wipes his dirt of his shoulder and Jay Z knows this is it...
The crazy part of this album is that it was such a big deal that we all have memories of where we were or what we did while listening to it.. I was in middle school rocking the black album on the way to the gym..you never needed to skip a track they were all dope!
This my favorite Jayz album. Loved every track
