Jay-Z - Dead Presidents(Instrumentals)

1 of ma favorite beats

[@wendellsmith3417]

creating hip hop beats is a underrated art

[@SamGrantOfficial]

you mean taking someone's music and placing it over someone's drums?

[@ockbah]

Sam Grant I recommend you watching "How J Dilla Humanized His MPC3000".

[@SamGrantOfficial]

@@ockbah wow dude, thanks for sharing that! watched it all. Very cool. There is definitely tons of skill and dedication in that. The main skill being the mixing and arranging of the instrumentation.. which a musician/band also does ON TOP of learning the actual skill required to play the instrument they play. At which point one could argue "yeah but J was only one person" which is a fair counterargument but then I invite you to check out Tame Impala, who writes, plays, arranges, records, and mixes every single piece of music and rhythm on his record himself.

[@elithedreemur1634]

[@gurudedicationananda5398]

My First Worship and Sex Mother Monica ("The First Night," "Angel of Mine," and MANY other classics) made this instrumental beat "Dead Presidents." She made it for ME, her son and only child EVER, Jah Jesus Christ Snoop Doggy Dogg. She made it in '94. I was supposed to Rap on it and it was supposed to be released on my '94 Snoop Doggy Dogg album "Murder Was The Case," but Jay-Z stole this beat from us and Rapped on it and released it as a Jay-Z song in '95 on his '95 album "Reasonable Doubt." My name is Nishith Vijay and my First Worship and Sex Mother Monica's name is Ritu Vijay.

Focusing my mind on Dead Presidents, While every other rappers live life irrelevant, There cranium be corrupted; be filled with dents, Living my life lavish - all derived from a pen. Thinking about random ideas and I hesitate; To drop a niggas life and watch his body elevate, Inspired by legends with this pathway to emulate, A new breed of rap - Watch me begin and to create, Introduce a new vision and I hope I'm not too late, With these hoes I like to conversate but, will never take, The love-life which always ends with divorce as fate. My mind be filled with thoughts with this stressful mental state, Decrypting words of wisdom I constantly translate, Dome coated with the roughness; I'm talking about sand papes. Illustrate blurry imagery as I eventually portray, Homeless individuals strolling through these switchblades. So?

greatest hip-hop beat of all time.

[@blunted210]

You did indeed kill this beat. You are honestly the first person who I've ever come across with a comment claiming you're ill or what not, and actually be just that. Seriously man, you're a great lyricist and hope you go far.

[@YoungTummy]

Wonder who this was too

[@xanaxodgrindcorelover9191]

LONNIE LISTON SMITH - GARDEN OF PEACE. THAT'S THE SAMPLE. NOW GO TO THAT.

[@coletenerelli98]

I'm unique I'm Different , I had a vision of me sitting at the top and i am living , a life with a gift that's god given , Bless me father for i am Sinning , Rip Apart beats like a hunter who is skining , I Traveled so far Because I am Driven , Mind like the tires that are spinning , My Shits so nasty i got you cringing , Your Raps Are nothing compared to the Hell that I'm bringing , Float like a butterfly Like a bee how I'm stinging , You should just take up singing , Cole Tenerelli with Punch Lines I'm swinging , Take out the whole crew that you are bringing , Like a super hero my Spidey Sence Is Tingling , 16 years old Yet i am Shining and twinkling , This is where im going to end it hope you like it...

These kids today who only listen to Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black and all the other mumble rappers of this day in age will never know or fully understand how lit Hip Hop was back in the 90's and 2000's for our generation. This what your listening to will never grow old.

I wanna say, first of all, to those that say they've heard em all, Something new, come to you, like a messiah that's unbeknownst to you Spit through the wire for those whose flow's desired set fire to the world where souls are sold to the richest buyer I'll take you higher like I'm a flyer, you're Icharus I'm Daedalus your tragic downfall we all conspired, if I'm a liar so be it, the events that transpired no longer have meaning, I guess I'm no longer forward leaning

[@wataloopus]

i just dont understand how a rapper can lose so much skill. every line in this song is fucking insane, In both versions, its probably one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time. I feel bad for Jay Z i dont think he realizes how much skill he lost in the art of rap

[@SEngland1985]

I agree 100%. This is top 5 of all time. Amazingly sampled and the lyrics hit hard with every single bar.

[@MONKEYSkillZ]

wataloopus 444 was dope tho
