The one and Only Ryan Leslie. Most underated artist ever. Still watchin this in 2022. DAMN ! Many Thanks for the inspiration !!! Black Mozart is a Great Album ! Classics hits. Soundrack of my life
Bc he is cringey and not genuine. Everything looks staged and made to make him look better than what he is. That’s why we don’t connect with him. I used to look him too until I started noticing this stuff.
Remember seeing this 9 years and feeling so inspired by this man. Been rocking with R Les since his first album, Les is More remains my favorite and I’m glad to see he’s dropping something in 2023. Most underrated artist of all time for sure
Reinvention at its finest....He was a genius 5/6 years ago...today Ryan is in whole nother stratosphere waiting for us all to catch the fyuk up. Way ahead of his time x10 now.
ebaychick30 not so sure, although his approch and marketing are very good, where's the top ten singles/albums at? Seems to me the outgoings outway the income. All the best to hin regardless.
After watching this, I feel like Cardiak needs his own documentary too. He put in sooo much work like he always does and his beats are always amazing. Dude is extra humble too.
Ryan Leslie glad to see you are back and doing your thing. everyone is a critic and worse the negative ones probably couldn't survive one day hustling the way you do. looking forward to seeing more of your work.
CARDIAK is just straight up one of the most creative producer's in the game from his sampling to just straight musical talent this dude has got it!!! that black Mozart track is just crazy!!!
Watching this again.....yes again. Just finished a Dancehall Session for my artist....powering down, but have this on the big screen. #RENEGADE Mannnn, this video is just like my team. Im always at the piano creating there first above all. My life is like this in sense of being scheduled, but no one ever joins me for my cardio/run either hahaha......Big Up RLES!!! See ya at the TOP, we almost there.

Courtney Bennett Ryan Leslie -- Evacuation Ryan Leslie -- Green Ft. Fabolous Ryan Leslie -- Bad Chicks Ryan Leslie -- I Love It Ryan Leslie -- Coke Cans
fawk man, this documentary is SO DARK and compelling at the same time. And after finally watching the whole movie I am throughly impressed. This guy literally does not sleep, I need to step my game up! #RealTalk
Ryan Leslie was suppose to be the biggest rnb/hiphop artist right now. If you listen to most rappers from the early 2010s (especially guys like Drake) they even used his cadence and flow
Back in 2022 feeling a bit depressed about doing anything in music and building wealth. Had to come back to the TH-cam page that got me through the first decade of doing this. Still aiming to meet and work with ya Ryan! 🙏🏿💪🏿
The album is so freaking good! As soon as I heard "Lay Down" I flipped! Then "Full Moon" came on, I died, then "Only The Lonely" resurrected me, then I heard WondaGurl's tag and died again. Just good song after good song after good song after great song!
Still a favorite of mine to watch 2 years after my last comment. The music/concept is just great. Ryan Leslie is definitely a visionary. Green light and Coke can are my slow favorites. Take them higher is a banger. What bothers me is the fact that real creative music is overlooked today.
Man, Ryan Leslie is the God of Music, he's definetly 100% the Black Mozart. I just don't believe how he and the other awesome producers just make these "Monster-Beats". Every Beat I heard of Leslie and his Crew just stopped the beating of my heart for a second, and then the beating of my heart just went synchrone to the beats of them. If I got enough money together, I will buy me stuff for beat producing, just to have this feeling like they have when they head goes like for and back to the beat. Thank you for making music.
I'm from The Gambia a.k.a the Smiling Coast a.k.a Land of Kunta Kinteh. I've known you following the release of Lollipop. I started following you since then. You are great at what you do. I wish I could be talented like you. You are what I define as an ARTIST. You are truly the Black Mozart. I wonder why people choose to overshadow your talent and great work with some crap. Keep up the great work because many people like me are out there following you and wanting to be like you. We are the silent majority that support you and great ART. Nobody can deny that you are among the greatest though the views on TH-cam are not that attractive compared to other heavy junks promoted everywhere. You are a Legend. Keep your head up and stay blessed.
Ryan you inspire me bro. I promise when i get to where i want in life, im telling the whole world your one of the reasons why i kept going and believing. You control your destiny no one can tell you shit! Love that man
I'm late to this video but...You absolutely have to respect the versatility of this artist. He can do it all. A lot of people were upset about him rapping. A. If you've truly followed his career you'd know HE'S ALWAYS rapped. He was "Drake before Drake". Only thing is Ryan Leslie ACTUALLY could sing, write, produce, & play instruments. B. It's ok to step outside of your box & comfort zone. It's all about growth & re-inventing yourself. If this was Justin Timberlake, Justin Beiber or some white pop artist we'd be applauding this, instead we take it for granted because he's black & black artist are "suppose to do this". Shout out to this true MUSICAL GENIUS! Thank you Ryan Leslie aka Black Mozart.
I am impressed today with the reality of what spectrum of talent can be overlooked. actually. Man speaks of passion and remains true to a idea of music that has a a soul. I like mostly the clean crisp sound I look for, this track has a better mastering job. The whole thing man,. its real. one humble individual. respect to family
Very very tight and smooth way to capture the making of the moments in the moments! Along with the score being ones own spontaneous records. Great story and well produced short film.
Say ryan, you a real inspiration man. The last fews years have been really hard on me, so I took a big step away from making tracks. Watching this video got me ready to take over world. Thanks
No matter what he's my idol. Graduating out of Harvard with top honors in all classes at 19. And then being in my opinion the best song writer, that's pretty good.
Ryan Leslie first and foremost I'm happy your back and even better than before but most of all I watched this video the other day when I thought watching a producer to get some inspiration and this video did just that as now I'm getting back to my music to start fresh and put the time in from this moment on wish you could perform in my city of Bristol England UK would love to see the whole creative happen on stage you've always been in my top 2 producer's but yeah thank you very much.
that man Mr. Leslie, that's right I said Mr. Leslie is a well organized guy. this is the level of producing that I will reach under God's umbrella though.
this film really inspired me to become more in life, your success is my motivation.thank you. cause of you i have a studio now, its not finished yet but im going to keep grinding to make history. this video has planted that phrase in my mind and my heart. thanks again MR. Leslie. i hope 1 day i get the chance to meet you and make music. GOD BLESS.
Ryan Leslie is incredible because he plays every instrument, makes his own beats, and writes his own shit. He's def a well rounded musician and there's nothing musically he can't do. R. LES is the GOD, the BLACK MOZART of music. Not to mention he cares about he's fans....ALOT!
12:22 "Oh just something I was working on earlier" And he probaly stayed up ALL night making it, and intentionally played it in front of Ryan, because he knew it was good.
Dope visual, I really liked the music and studio vibes also when cardiak asked about that girl and all other parts featuring "that girl" we're comical. One of his best documentaries imo of course..
Much Respect from South Africa Ryan. You should consider touring our country. you've got a pretty huge fan-base here. Thank you for Black Mozart. much love bro.
That History beat huh, it's a shame the final mastered version sounded a lot less full in the bridge. In this vid you hear like a full brass ensemble and in the final version you hear only some high trumpets or w/e
MrPimpJuiice yeah man but I mean the brass literally just sounds electronic in the final... I think they just skipped the whole acoustic sound that you hear here, lol
R Les was already inspiring me, but after watching this video and listening to History, man... I just wanna go hard and give the best I got to this world. Keep going Ryan, inspiring by example !!!

I agree bro and yup that GreenLight joint is serious
Ian Johnson couldnt agree more. just perfect

great music motion picture!
Very very tight and smooth way to capture the making of the moments in the moments! Along with the score being ones own spontaneous records. Great story and well produced short film.
First of all this is FAR from a documentary. More like a long music video but either way, i like it... Thanks Les!!!

Love love love this....Love Ryan Leslie since Diamond Girl. Can't wait until the new album
The Music Production Rocking.
I respect his hustle and his talent
14:52 That's that Sunday Church move right there, haha not mad at you brother.

People really be on here hating huh? All this shit is dope …. Im just happy to be a fan .
Soooooo inspiring. The blend of the piano/strings and Cardiak is genius. One day... One day this will be me. Dreams

+Earthling Crusader I caught that too. Lenny K is the man
Name song? with Ryan leslie
The Instrumental Part With No Words In The Beginning Is Pure Fire!
12:22 "Oh just something I was working on earlier"
And he probaly stayed up ALL night making it, and intentionally played it in front of Ryan, because he knew it was good.
all week probably, that sounds like gold
you do know that everything in this documentary is scripted, right? lol. Not that I don't like it, it's just not all spontaneous
YoYo .Kidz thats the producer cardiak flatline... hes pretty big too, they met to collab i bet
@@FromPoetryToRap THANK YOU ! Ppl are going on like this is seriously a documentary...LMFAO!!!
How is this not on 1 million views
(RYAN LESLIE) A True Grand Master Musician
I can't wait to hear the whole Black Mozart album. Ryan Leslie is such a beast.
Yo Cardiak is slept on
Ryan Leslie is good at what he does, one of the best music producer's.
2023 who still watching ❤❤❤❤
People are going to look back at this as pure ‘Genius’. Ryan was ahead of his time.
This man is #genius
Watching in 2021 still for the the gazillionth time. R Les! What up!!!!!!
Is there anything this guy can't do? I'm perplexed as to how I have never heard of him before.
I agree, when i saw what Ryan was capable of doing I was blown away. Hes some what of a genius, very smart and of cause a dope exec producer...
he does his own thing. no major label backing.....
Its called BlackBalled!! The industry wants to promote what your hearing today! To destroy the money lane!! An the art of rap!! As a whole!! Facts!!
i love the fact that u use live music & the way u deliver!!
Still watching this in 2023
2024 I am. ❤
so many sick beats i had a headache half way tru this video ( ryan has a great core around him now )
What song is :44
Dope visual, I really liked the music and studio vibes also when cardiak asked about that girl and all other parts featuring "that girl" we're comical. One of his best documentaries imo of course..
Man, the album is great, but it would have been nice to have it in 320kbps mp3 or even better, FLAC.
I have it on WAV, the master from the studio.
I bought it on Renagades, and I ask Ryan by e-mail!
He rocks ;)
Much Respect from South Africa Ryan. You should consider touring our country. you've got a pretty huge fan-base here. Thank you for Black Mozart. much love bro.

FromPoetryToRap thats why i like to came back here and just listen to this version ;))
Cardiak is really one of the hottest R&B producers now it’s crazy I learned of him from this video
damn...some amazing beats there...wooha..
Very entertaining video. Awesome seeing him in the studio with his producers vibing to different sounds. Hope he sells some
Cardiak is the best
There's only one Ryan.....He is the BEST out there...he need no awards to validate what he does....Ryan is the REAL DEAL!!!!!
Ryan, why is he always filming? ; ]
R Les was already inspiring me, but after watching this video and listening to History, man... I just wanna go hard and give the best I got to this world. Keep going Ryan, inspiring by example !!!
