DJ Toomp: Jay Z Heard My Beat, Started Mumbling & 15 Mins Later We Had Say Hello

DJ Toomp talks about creating Say Hello with Jay Z for his American Gangster Album

[@stacksondeck515]

One of Jay’s most underrated albums and song. I loved that song

[@deetugg7238]

Started singing it soon as he said he played the beat for jay lol my shit! Low key my favorite j album

[@iceburgslim71jones96]

Arguably his best or 2nd best to me and a lot of his core fans 🔥

[@Antmoore1997]

My favorite song from that LP! I used to play that shit on repeat.

[@nwbdamo]

I agree easily in the top 3 jay albums to me !

[@PharoahJohnPhoenix]

"here come the bad guy again.. say hello"

[@beebee5885]

American gangster slept on CLASSIC

[@brotherLee340]

Jay-Z has become so underrated. Every blue moon I gotta remind myself that Hov was that nigga.

[@morelifeking]

Out of every Jay album, I listen to AG the most. say hello is a classic

[@deetugg7238]

When we got u wtf do we need a vlad for?!... this is what our culture is about 🙌🏾

[@mackboneyakakushthoughtspo589]

Exactly fuck Vlad And Adam 22 those culture vultures need to be stopped

[@rawraw8456]

Facts Vlad. Feeling the pressure from B high

[@specialk5027]

For real bro. They can just come right on thru to B High.

[@KicksAddictNY]

exactly

[@stacywatson6687]

Thank you 💯💯💯 I purposely avoid Vlad shit now and wait on B-High exclusives

[@kingsofcobra]

Say Hello is without a shadow of doubt not just my favorite song by Jay-Z but my favorite song of all time!! Thank you DJ Toomp!! Now all we need is an official instrumental please. Someone let 'em know!! Peace ✌💯

[@deionbaker3625]

The way B High interviews is amazing. People are so at home in his interviews and you can tell from their voices. Vlad interviews feel more like Depositions

[@moneyman2200]

Toomp is underappreciated..... folks don't appreciate the bangers this man has dropped for decades...... This Toronto nigga been rockin wit Toomp since those first TIP Dope Boy In The Trap days.... love this man's work

[@donrico8212]

I think it's just people from here. Cousin's in the States rate him but when I bring up his name here I gotta always bring up Tips tracks

[@wjordan123]

Who else is going to listen to say hello, 🔥

[@michaelabrakson2919]

[@helladub5457]

No doubt lolol

[@shaunalex2345]

[@MrNeutralParty]

Bout listen to the album.

[@blankaa1]

Playing in my head already.

[@michaeljackson7481]

D.J TOOMP DON'T GET ENOUGH CREDIT!

[@dugnice]

Yes he does. He's well known in the industry, although he ain't exactly a household name outside of the industry like Kanye West or Dr. Dre, but then Toomp doesn't have as strong a legacy as Kanye or Dre either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@seanwilson5516]

Tell that to someone else, 'cause you can't tell me nothing.

[@danestewart2676]

DJ TOOMP is a REAL MUSIC PRODUCER.....MUCH RESPECT!!!!

[@doubleshotstarfoxx4296]

That was one of the hardest beats on the album "say hello"

[@francismanancis4186]

"I Got Money" By Jeezy is my favorite Toomp beat.. Mans is in my Top 5 of all time tbh....

[@gilbertmillerjr367]

That song hit HARD!!!!

[@se7enisrael]

Say Hello is a hell of an amazing joint. Shout out to Toomp🙏🏾

[@donjohnson6918]

Say Hello is my most fav on the American Gangsta album!... I still bump that thang in 2020!

[@mentlinc]

I left Vlad after the Farrakhan incident and been missing watching these type of interviews. I believe I have found a new home here. Good stuff BHigh 👍🏾

[@r2g210]

Same

[@deecry8087]

Same for me! BHigh gets all the details!

[@specialk5027]

I use to ride around just playing the instrumental to Say Hello. That’s how hard that beat went to me

[@demetriuslester]

I did too 😭😭😭😭 #Claasic

[@dlfleming80]

Me too!!! 😆

[@thundreds69]

To this day

[@heem_og]

Man Toomp is cool as fuck, he's real as it gets, super humble.

[@BeyondVertical101]

DJ Toomp can go hit for hit with the best of them !!

[@mackstacks8913]

One of my favorite Jay Z songs and definately the best one on that album. Classic shit man

[@mrs.davis8042]

That beat is impeccable, and is still in my head on a regular basis.

[@infitiumusic]

Can’t wait to see the entire interview uninterrupted Toomp always drops jewels and Bhigh has great interviews and conversations with his guest just dope all the way around .. stay blessed culture definitely needs more of these types of videos now more than ever .. much respect & love from Florida Bhigh

[@indiehiphopreview8661]

Man that was such a soulful track and it made me feel like Jay never left. It made up for that little hiatus he took. This is dope!!

[@loopygod1357]

And that’s my favorite tracc on the album. Shout out to Toomp

[@kamoya8]

Shout outs from South Africa. I really dig you interviewing style. This is the type of interviewing we need, not the digging up of dirt that Vladimir pushes

[@Mr.Memphis10]

Say Hello beat change my life! DJ Toomp pure genius.

[@RoyalDCali]

Bro my moms hated this song because of how much and loud I would play it

[@jarenbarbour3100]

Say Hello is one of my favorite Jay songs. American Gangster is my favorite Jay Album

[@josephmiller9609]

Classic album. One of my favorite joints too.. it’s funny cuz that playa circle u can believe it wit Luda is that sample and that song dope too

[@Moelewwatitdew]

One of my fav Hov songs. Never knew that was JD on the hook.

[@KingBeastBDE]

JD prolly on the original version. I think he did the hook and Jay did it over. Cause that’s definitely Jay voice on the hook. But JD probably recorded first.

[@yessir1843]

@Big Dog Say Hello

[@jblizz803]

@@KingBeastBDE that’s definitely NOT Jay saying “say hello”

[@KingBeastBDE]

@@jblizz803 ok yes, 🙄 maybe those two words. But that’s Jay rapping the hook 🤷🏾‍♂️ maybe they left JD vocals on it and maybe it stands out more on those two words. But that’s Jay on the hook.

[@MansaX]

Graduation is definitely a classic. His best album imo late registration is a close 2nd. I can't think of any skip songs

[@luisvalverde3658]

Just found out about this show. Shit is tough ! Keep doing ya thing. All the way from The Bronx !

[@ramonkey2939]

I'm really enjoying these interviews great knowledge being shared here. Keep em coming!!!

[@ThatBoyRio510]

Say hello go hard 🔥🏁

[@SpookyRawDaHavknotz]

Damn I never knew he produced that... 💪🏾💪🏾💯

[@Jon804Official]

The song DJ Toomp was talking about is called “U Can Believe It” by Playaz Circle & Ludacris That’s how he come up with the idea for Say Hello

[@dezmym1]

Its a banger too

[@Fonzworth.B]

Thanks i never heard it...u can believe is hard you jus made me download the entire album💪🏾

[@boknows8376]

Thought he gave the beat to big kuntry first?

[@cedaylejohnson997]

Toomp did Say Hello........bruh that beat is hard

[@funieman1]

Dope interview 💪🏾💪🏾✊🏾💯

[@folkscrazyouthere3076]

Crazy underrated hip hop track. Use to have that and I know on repeat back in the day.

[@chaingjones6415]

Salute to a Legend...Real hip hop heads such as myself know Toomp been around since 87 or 88. He was DJing for MC Shy D ..They was signed to Luke Skywalker Records which is Luther (Uncle Luke) Campbell label...They went hard in that era but was outshine by 2 Live Crew which was Luke Skywalker Records biggest act...

[@MrJchris97]

One of my Favorite beats ever.

[@ryannorwood7902]

One of my top 5 favorite jay z songs of all times!

[@terrellhubbard]

American Gangster was jay's last classic album. It was my favorite album to date.

[@Dmaj089]

Watch the throne and 4:44 are classics easy

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

2 Chainz and Dolla Boy of Playaz Circle’s version is called “Believe It” was produced by legendary NY producer Buckwild.

[@allforus4376]

Dope. Buckwild did Like Whoa by Black Rob n Like Father Like Son by Game

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

O.J Pimpson Yep! He’s my favorite producer! He influenced me to make beats!

[@ArtisanWindchimes]

@@allforus4376 he also did the original Dream Shatterer for Big Pun. Not the album version. It's better than the album version. It's on KZbin Big Pun - Dream Shatterer Buckwild Version

[@KingPhilip_ULP]

Yeah man. That American Gangster track made me think of the Playa Circle track. Both were hard af

[@ThiefOfBaghdad]

the interviewer has such a nice approach!

[@hottrod7467]

"They say alot about me let me tell u what I ain't" (Say Hello) 👑 Hov

[@brianjackson3031]

Say Hello is a classic too

[@BobbyJOnline]

B High always got the 🔥...

[@ashyriiball9545]

As soon as I saw the title I figured it was say hello that’s his hardest song from the album and that big brother sound similar

[@1stflicksms]

I remember Dj Toomp in a smack dvd makin a beat that was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I wanted to get on Dj Toomp beat ever since FACTS

[@noble78b]

Jay should let Toomp produce the whole album. Instead of No-id.

[@marvishudson6044]

My favorite song

[@cordaroharris9102]

Say Hello 🔥🔥🔥

[@kjo2130]

American gangster is his 2nd best album imo

[@aaronromance]

And if Al Sharpton is speaking for me Somebody give him the word and tell him I don't approve Tell him I remove the curses If you tell me our schools gon' be perfect When Jena Six don't exist Tell him that's when I'll stop saying bitch (bitch) That’s my favorite verse of Jay Z off that album. Toomp did his thang

[@Vpeezy66]

That song slap so hard

[@dozalandbaityboy5655]

[@wurlbfree1981]

My favorite J joint.

[@MEETMagazine]

Jay Z is the greatest rapper of all time.

[@jwalls1223]

PPL STILL ARGUE A RAPPER BEEN BETTER THAN HOV JUST LET IT GO HE IS THE GREATEST RAPPER PERIOD PPL NEED TO GET OVER IT HE HAS PUT OUT THE BEST ALBUMS , SET THE MOST TRENDS , STAYED CONSISTENT FOR THREE DECADES , WIFED BEYONCÉ , SIGNED ANOTHER GOAT (KANYE) , HE IS SUCCESSFUL , & HE MADE IT OFF THE BLOCK , INSPIRED EVERY RAPPER , AND HELL THATS JUST THE HALF..

[@BDOE33]

D.J A.D TOOMP very underrated I watched THIS BROTHER WORK ON MC SHY D UNCLE LUKE MUSIC etc. Do your research kids ASR 10, SP1200.. a hall a game producer

[@RoddyRodbb]

T.I. Kanye Jay-z Nas Man, Toomp is Legendary

[@Yoloslides]

This is pretty much what every producer has said. If you know how Jay conditioned himself to be able to “write” like this then you understand why it comes so easy for him.

[@jonassims8558]

That was that Playaz Circle ...U Can Believe It..

I see you! But you can’t leave out Party Life and I know!

[@ikedadon2642]

@@romello4913 I’m sorry bro, Party Life is the worst song on the album with Hello Brooklyn and I Know, I’ll take I Know and Hello Brooklyn over Party Life anyday but those are the weakest songs on the album with Party Life being the worst but that’s my opinion so your opinion could be different than mine💯

[@roshaungoolsby4554]

@@ikedadon2642 I think that song Hello Brooklyn was more to capitalize of Weezy's popularity at the time cause that's when he was still mixtape Weezy. So he was in high demand and it didn't matter how you used Lil Wayne long as he had a song on your album people was gonna buy it. Il liked Hello Brooklyn when the album dropped cause Wayne was one of my favorite artist but as Wayne started to decline and looking back on it now the song is just like nah let me just skip to No Hook🤣
