Jay Z needs no introduction. But some terms that come to mind are GOAT, best rapper alive, billionaire and mogul. Plus he is one of the most successful businessmen of all time… Sorry, sorry he’s not a business man… He's a busines, man. In this video, we’re not here to talk about the business moves, the money or the family, this video is strictly about the music. In this deep dive we’re going to take a look at what Jay Z is like in the studio, straight from the mouths of Rick Rubin, Timbaland, Kanye West and more.

Favorite Jay Z song, It's between Wishing on a star (Trackmasters remix) and La La La (Excuse me miss remix). I would have loved to have been in the studio when he was recording "Takeover", and the first Blueprint album from 2001 is my favorite Jay Z album. Can let that album play from start to finish, even the two hidden tracks!

Jay-Z is GOAT. He's a mix of Ra, Biggie, Nas and Kane. Haters, and posers don't give him credit because it's more "serious" or profound to cite Nas, Rakim, etc as GOAT. But if you look at his lyricism, wordplay, wit, double - triple entendres, depth, catchiness, all rolled in one, HE IS GOAT.

I feel like there's a misconception between not writing and freestyling. Jay himself, as far as i know, never said he freestyles. You can put down the verse in one take without writing, but you could've been working that verse on your mind for hours. There's footage of the 99 recording session where you see Jay going back and forward til he's satisfied with the verse. That's why Jay is the Goat. Its not like he doesnt write it down cause its cool. He worked his way up til he made it cool
@maisumcanalfitness9295

@@radarinfinite1032 never thought of it that way. In my mind freestyle is improvising off the top of your head. And it feels like people think Jay-Z "improvised" he's career. But its interesting to see a different concept to freestyle. Structured but no structure made sense to me. Appreciate it

I can’t even lie. I was completely blown away to watch this man record his verse on a record called “The Bounce“ back in the fall of 2003. Never seen anything like it. One take!! He just came in, kind of mumbled to himself over the track for about seven minutes… The engineer asked him if he was ready. He said “am I ready?“ With a smirk went in there and did his entire deal in one take. It was mind blowing!

My favorite Jay song of all time is Dead Presidents II. That SKI beat and his vocals and lyrics was a marriage. My favorite song of his in terms of getting me hype is "You Don't Know". Another Just Blaze banger, he goes in with the "I sell ice in the winter/ I sell fire in hell/ I am a hustler baby, I sell water to a whale/ I was born to get cake/ Move on, switch states/ Cop the coupe with the roof gone, and switch plates..." Absolutely no one was rapping like that when he said it, and he forced everybody to make better albums.

One of Hip Hop’s greatest lines comes from JAY when he said “Chains is cool to cop but more important is lawyer fees” that line is right up there with one of the greatest books ever written,AN INQUIRY INTO THE NATURE OF THE WEALTH OF NATIONS by ADAM SMITH. If you’ve read that book and listened to that line,you’ll find similarities. I respect JAY Z so much just for that line.

Grand fucked up one fight I was on the Peter Pan bus You was puttin' Peter Pan up in your room Y'all fuckin' with whom? Allow me to retort You cowards is just now learnin' the shit that we taught You niggas ain't know about a Robb Report 'Bout a high-speed Porsche I.e., you niggas ain't know how to floss 'Til I came through the door, like "Eric B. for Prez" Respect me in this bitch! You can't disrespect us 'cause you got a little check cut You was sucking 'em so long, fucking your lil' neck up Now, you too big for your britches You got a few little bitches You think you Hugh Hef', but you just ridiculous I blew breath for you midgets, I gave life to the game It's only right I got the right to be king Niggas that got life really like what I sing 'Cause they know it's really like, niggas feel my pain Know the shit I don't write Be the illest shit that's ever been recited in the game Word to the hyphen in my name J-A-Y, Dash, Hoffa The past, present, nigga, the future, proper The holy trinity of hip-hop is us We give Dre his props, but that's where it stops It's the Roc!"

The lyrics he wrote for Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg! I was a young teenager and at the time i didn't really understood those lyrics but i did 💁🏻‍♀️ if that makes any sense, at an age of 12, 13y & when English isn't your mother language (i'm from Belgium) I loved, still love, that song, the beat, the raps of both of these icons to than now learning who wrote those? It is insanely inspiring (the collaborative process) & i learned some new just now!! Amazing video 💯👍🏻, ✌🏻😎

I started writing like that before I knew Jay-Z did. But I did it because I would say somethung amazing and then when I go to write it down on paper, I used to forget it. So I was on a mission to not lose my words EVER again.

Nice, I remember watching clips of MJ in studio a few years back & realising he wrote songs how I have been doing it, had never seen someone else do it like that before.. 🤯
