The music industry needs to acknowledge Ryan Leslie's musical genius, so underrated. Mumble rappers get more credit than those with true talent. Those that read, write, compose, arrange music and play a plethora of instruments get overlooked. Crazy! Not to mention he's an intellectual, a Harvard graduate! And he's teaching a music industry class at NYU.
They dont accept him because he s high class. They are not in the same league. Puffy and Jay z monopolised the industry. Not to mention how many artists died for them to have this kind of success.
cyberespace936 because he has a different sound he has done a lot on the producing side but only has actually been in about a dozen videos in all he has been out a long time
From my humble point of view and with no "disrespect" to anyone music nowadays sounds like shit ! Ryan's production are way more musical that what is actually banging in clubs. People lost their musicality for more bounce... Sure Red café wasn't the right choice but expect that everything is dope on this beat. And this bridge !!! Yes Ryan is underrated
Ryan leslie literally made this whole song. He produced and his hook is the best part about it, one of the most talented artist's I've ever known of, in any genre of music!
Damn music really used to be good asf back then.. This my Era!!! Real feel good music with playa type lyrics none of that drug dealing, killing bullshit they rap about today.
"When I fly, you fly, we fly together. When I shine, you shine, we shine forever". Always remember that part and really like this song so much when it aired on MTV Jams.
R-Les OWNED THIS! say what you will but the impeccability he brings to it is MAD Rozay is Rozay so of course he put in the work, but he’s done verse even for African musicians & their songs do not chart or fascinate masses as expected Café brought it too but without Mr. Leslie, they couldn’t have pulled it off THIS WELL they would’ve but not like THIS 2022 -& we’re still flying with the pilot
R Les, you're pure genius with an incredible ear for beautiful music. It baffeles me that you haven't attained the notariety that you deserve and the success that comes with it! Those of us that are in tge music business nit only know of you but have a deep respect fo your abilities! You're q if the top 5 music producers in this industry. You read music, play instruments and if people knew of the hits you produced for these A-list stars I KNOW you would get your "just due"! The thing is, you do it for the love of the art form and though you're successful especially out of the country I just feel you sgoul be a common name in the American household, especially when it comes to music. We in the music biz, salute you

I agree bro
Indeed
Truss me bra
They dont accept him because he s high class. They are not in the same league. Puffy and Jay z monopolised the industry. Not to mention how many artists died for them to have this kind of success.
Me personally Ryan Leslie is no one as a composer. He s instrumentals are the best, close to him is Timbaland, another “victim” of the industry.
A fine marriage between R&B and rap. This really doesn't exist anymore. Miss music that had rhythm and creative instrumentals you can groove to.
I was thinking the same . Ryan Leslie had some dope tracks . That joint with Jadakiss is 🔥 as well
Rick Ross caught the beat and ran with it like Deandre Hopkins.
@@ramonpineda7632 Ryan leslie was ahead of his time for sure, he would fit right in around 2019 music
💯
Best marriage ever
We Taking This To 2024 🎉💯👌
🚨2024 🚨💯
Damn straight
🎉❤
OMG!
I haven't heard this song since grade 9!
The memoriessssssss!
I'm here
The fact that ryan leslie created this beat all by himself from scratch.. incredible👏💯
MrZiime: That's what a Harvard educated man does; produces brilliance!!
it was the beat that always drew me to this song, frfr going bk in time for a min. when music was good music
Who needs Harvard
@@heycokocoko1254That bass guitar got me hooked to this song, the guy is genuus clean
@@cocoafemme47his musical brilliance has nothing to do with Harvard
Crazy mayweather had zero loses when this came out and still got zero losses now 😂😂😂😂
😂😂 fr
one of the best beats ever created
+David Betancourth Ryan Leslie is always making nice beats
+David Betancourt Can't agree more, man!
+David Betancourth finally, somebody gets it!
Watch the making of it.

Ryan Leslie is seriously underrated
He's a good producer but he don't make classic songs because he don't work with the good persons i think !

cyberespace936 because he has a different sound he has done a lot on the producing side but only has actually been in about a dozen videos in all he has been out a long time

No body does it better than Ryan he is truly gifted
R-Les OWNED THIS!
say what you will but the impeccability he brings to it is MAD
Rozay is Rozay so of course he put in the work, but he’s done verse even for African musicians & their songs do not chart or fascinate masses as expected
Café brought it too but without Mr. Leslie, they couldn’t have pulled it off THIS WELL
they would’ve but not like THIS
