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.
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.
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
Tracklist Ryan Leslie -- Carnival Of Venice Ryan Leslie -- Black Mozart Ryan Leslie -- Higher Ryan Leslie -- History Ryan Leslie -- Lay Down Ryan Leslie -- Full Moon Ryan Leslie -- Only The Lonely Ft. Courtney Bennett Ryan Leslie -- Evacuation Ryan Leslie -- Green Ft. Fabolous Ryan Leslie -- Bad Chicks Ryan Leslie -- I Love It Ryan Leslie -- Coke Cans
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 UA-cam page that got me through the first decade of doing this. Still aiming to meet and work with ya Ryan! 🙏🏿💪🏿
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
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
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 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
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!
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 UA-cam are not that attractive compared to other heavy junks promoted everywhere. You are a Legend. Keep your head up and stay blessed.
As a music production lawyer with a focus on music n rights within n also mental health advocate 2 continents in my sleeve .. I got it sussed like we say in Ireland ☘️... u think I don’t know how brilliant you are , u can proclaim yourself as the 🍀” Black Mozart “ ... guess what u r human full stop, u make us move feel sing feel alive!

I like this doc... because it shows Ryan working with OTHER producers! Usually, he does everything himself, but in this particular piece it shows him being humble and "Delegated Authority"... That's whats up!!!
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.
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!!!!
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
Yes thank you for sharing this Video. Beautiful Musician indeed. Mr Ryan Leslie. Now folks let us be reminded of the very forest 'Black Mozart' Joseph Bologna Me Chevalier Saint-Georges. Born of a enslaved woman and her White Slave master. 1745-1799 He was absolutely the 'GOAT' in Paris, France. Can hardly wait for the Movie this December 2022. Peace and Blessing to All.

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

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 you are a king and a legend in music history
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!
TOO UNDERRATED MAN!!! People these days dont understand REAL music.
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!!!
Legendary Ryan Lesie...i will always come back and watch these inspirational videos...Seems like im the only one in 2020?
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".

2024 and Ryan Leslie’s Music still lives rent free in my head
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.
Ppl don’t love those who win TOO much, but brother, you’re an inspiration
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.
I agree bro and yup that GreenLight joint is serious
Ian Johnson couldnt agree more. just perfect
i watch this atleast once a week! inspirational as f***!
keep it high man!!!
Ryan Leslie is one hell of a producer.. love his beats...
2023 and we still here yooo R Les will always be - in the house- letsss get ittttt
By far the best productions I have ever heard in recent years.
2023. Had to double back for the inspiration. Ryan is the GREAT.
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!!!
this whole set up is so creative I work to it while I paint in the studio painting. A classic timeless watch
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!
Im rewatching this in 2022 and its still just as inspirational as the first time I’ve seen it. Simply Brilliant
2023 who still watching ❤❤❤❤
Oh My God!!! The More I Learn about him and listen to his music the more he becomes my favorite artist of all time!!!
Get yours Ryan...Keep innovating...
Watching this documentary for the 100th time in 2021 - still fire

This is an artist at work.
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.
The Instrumental Part With No Words In The Beginning Is Pure Fire!
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
I can't wait to hear the whole Black Mozart album. Ryan Leslie is such a beast.
2024 Still Watching This
Back in 2022 feeling a bit depressed about doing anything in music and building wealth. Had to come back to the UA-cam page that got me through the first decade of doing this. Still aiming to meet and work with ya Ryan! 🙏🏿💪🏿
I think if I word hard enough, my talent in music will outshine the trend..this guy is the truth
I am impressed today with the reality of what spectrum of talent can be overlooked.

Man. You inspire me! I see you grinding like no one else.
Les you really need to release the "murder to my competition" track!!!
Ryan Leslie is good at what he does, one of the best music producer's.
The Music Production Rocking.
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.
People really be on here hating huh? All this shit is dope …. Im just happy to be a fan .
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
this is a genius inovator...yu got to be blind not to recognize his talent.....he is the only complete artist in the game
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!
"When I look in my little girl's eyes" sample was dope.
+Earthling Crusader I caught that too. Lenny K is the man
Name song? with Ryan leslie
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!!!!!
i simply don't understand why da vid hasn't hit a billion views....huh?...wake up ppl!!!
Because he is a douche! Not everyone likes to watch douchebags on UA-cam!
***** He is still a douche!
I think bringing classical Music and modern Music together is just great!
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'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.

People are going to look back at this as pure ‘Genius’. Ryan was ahead of his time.

Love love love this....Love Ryan Leslie since Diamond Girl. Can't wait until the new album
Still watching this in 2023
2024 I am. ❤
I like this doc... because it shows Ryan working with OTHER producers! Usually, he does everything himself, but in this particular piece it shows him being humble and "Delegated Authority"... That's whats up!!!
This man is #genius
Black Mozart is brilliant & this man's a genius. He gets slept on far too much, much respect
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 ;)
I still get goosebumps when black Mozart beat drops.!!!
wow... he should do more radio stops...@hot97 lead me to this awesome work.
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.
@2:32 got my man Cardiak part of the team
YOUR CONCERT IN COLOGNE WAS CRAZY! YOU ARE THE TRUTH!
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!!!!
One of the hardest working man in the industry!
A great inspiration!
damn...some amazing beats there...wooha..
No violence, lol no thuggish...pure good music and positivity!!!
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
we're ee5 by e ftdswszzs22_ y76777bssww2 uyy 22 jsudsw you are are looking forward a butt time 30 the 3 weeks. the first to to exd
32
compression, mastering.. and final version gets flat asfuk, they should give music more dynamics, dimension.. idk
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
FromPoetryToRap thats why i like to came back here and just listen to this version ;))
I miss when music sounded this fresh and experimental!!!
INSPIRED
Yes thank you for sharing this Video. Beautiful Musician indeed. Mr Ryan Leslie. Now folks let us be reminded of the very forest 'Black Mozart' Joseph Bologna Me Chevalier Saint-Georges. Born of a enslaved woman and her White Slave master. 1745-1799 He was absolutely the 'GOAT' in Paris, France. Can hardly wait for the Movie this December 2022. Peace and Blessing to All.
whats the song called in 3:10 ?
Soooooo inspiring. The blend of the piano/strings and Cardiak is genius. One day... One day this will be me. Dreams
Please put jay z on one of his beats
