How does this not have over 1M views?? The world sleeps are R.Les.... Dude is a beast with it.

[@shaund9790]

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.

[@ExcellEnt-Vision]

Watching in 2020 and there’s still no other artist that compares to Ryan Leslie !!!

[@kingejiro]

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

[@ebaychick30]

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.

[@unclemikmusic]

I agree he is a genius! ebaychick30 1 love...

[@laputauk]

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.

2023 who still watching ❤❤❤❤

[@AlvynneMusic]

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.

[@TheTrueAlucard]

Ryan where are you man 😞… We need more like this! This…. is „Music“…

[@jesusambriz366]

You need to rap like you play the piano... with passion. When you play the piano it speaks, but when you rap... "it's the voice not the words"

[@killuminati007able]

Ryan Leslie you are a king and a legend in music history

[@TheSKBTV]

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!!!

[@throwhishead]

He's one of the only artist, I purchased a CD for. Good music!

[@Moham153]

Went to see him live in London, man it was amazing! I urge anyone if you get a chance and he comes to your city go for it!! You will not be let down!

[@prodbyzapz]

2023 still a go to video for inspiration

[@Orion3000k]

2023. Had to double back for the inspiration. Ryan is the GREAT.

[@NostalgikGamez]

TOO UNDERRATED MAN!!! People these days dont understand REAL music.

[@mediacribb]

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.

[@impressive166]

Legendary Ryan Lesie...i will always come back and watch these inspirational videos...Seems like im the only one in 2020?

[@DarrinWilliams-wq3su]

Ppl don’t love those who win TOO much, but brother, you’re an inspiration

[@nilo6560]

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.

[@waltervasconcelos5596]

Still watching this in 2023

[@12black31]

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

[@tg3470]

2023 and we still here yooo R Les will always be - in the house- letsss get ittttt

[@HandsUpDK]

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.

[@pittq74]

all week probably, that sounds like gold

[@FromPoetryToRap]

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

[@danthegoonie5044]

YoYo .Kidz thats the producer cardiak flatline... hes pretty big too, they met to collab i bet

[@mgmthegrand]

Im rewatching this in 2022 and its still just as inspirational as the first time I’ve seen it. Simply Brilliant

[@MrReman23]

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!

[@decremerfaiez6516]

i watch this atleast once a week! inspirational as f***! keep it high man!!!

[@JamelLorick]

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.

[@daz4life]

2020 squad where ya at? So messed up this ain't on Spotify/Apple Music!

[@GermanChoc26]

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.

[@CEBrown1]

I agree bro and yup that GreenLight joint is serious

[@MrXcamas]

Ian Johnson couldnt agree more. just perfect

[@Mr_Damn]

This was an awesome production, watched every minute, enjoyed every second!

(RYAN LESLIE) A True Grand Master Musician

[@PhntmStudios]

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!

[@studio0750]

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

[@03obietrice]

First of all this is FAR from a documentary. More like a long music video but either way, i like it... Thanks Les!!!

[@roxenvandijk7006]

Les you really need to release the "murder to my competition" track!!!

[@ceogriffsta1]

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

[@SANNADA204]

Love love love this....Love Ryan Leslie since Diamond Girl. Can't wait until the new album

The Music Production Rocking.

[@LycenseToKill]

Yo Cardiak is slept on

[@Enriquekike2624]

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.

[@theguybrandon]

Cardiak is really one of the hottest R&B producers now it’s crazy I learned of him from this video

[@kame99023]

great music motion picture!

[@earthlingcrusader1529]

"When I look in my little girl's eyes" sample was dope.

+Earthling Crusader I caught that too. Lenny K is the man

[@iamangellara06]

Name song? with Ryan leslie

[@FYYAWOOD]

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.

[@FundamentalBeats]

Man. You inspire me! I see you grinding like no one else.

[@fadedoutt]

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.

[@0netyr]

I think if I word hard enough, my talent in music will outshine the trend..this guy is the truth

[@ZaiXPMusic]

Back in 2022 feeling a bit depressed about doing anything in music and building wealth. Had to come back to the KZbin page that got me through the first decade of doing this. Still aiming to meet and work with ya Ryan! 🙏🏿💪🏿

This documentary really show a musician creating quality music and the passion for the music. I love Ryan Leslie music and respect the documentary.

[@ifareaged]

this is a genius inovator...yu got to be blind not to recognize his talent.....he is the only complete artist in the game

[@obedepon]

[@HandsUpDK]

Because he is a douche! Not everyone likes to watch douchebags on KZbin!

Is there anything this guy can't do? I'm perplexed as to how I have never heard of him before.

[@unclemikmusic]

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...

[@matthewjamal]

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!!

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]

compression, mastering.. and final version gets flat asfuk, they should give music more dynamics, dimension.. idk

[@FromPoetryToRap]

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

[@MrPimpJuiice]

FromPoetryToRap thats why i like to came back here and just listen to this version ;))

Ryan is a pure genius. 03:00 - Getting hyped, 03:55 - Brilliant classical music and to finish it off with the electric guitar at 04:21. This is an artist at work.

Honestly, I love Ryan Leslie and his music.. he is really an underrated artist.. but I cnt take this man seriously with the rapping. Im soo use to him singing,.playing those keys and creating sick music.. 2nd..all these EXTRA.head bopping is makin my neck hurt, foo doing too much. 3rd,.this.motion video interesting but too much again coming from Ryan. Thats not his style, & it just seems like he gta put on to be like these other rappers.. 4th.. i love these beats.. they're SICK!!!!
