Eric Bellinger Details His Experience Working On Beyonce's Album
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2015
- www.vladtv.com - Musician Eric Bellinger has quite the resume. Currently working on "The Documentary 2" with Game, Eric has arranged dozens of tracks for some of the top artists in the game right now, but unfortunately, as he'll explain, a majority of the time him or any other producer's work just won't make the cut. "I had six songs on Beyonce's album before it came out, then when it came out I had none," he recalls.
Picture this: 20 people getting flown out to Jay Z and Beyonce's Hamptons' mansion to record a secret album. That was Bellinger's life at one point, as he spent three weeks with Beyonce and the rest of her writing camp before the release of her self-titled surprise album in 2013. Along with other top-tier songwriters and producers like Benny Blanco, Eric Bellinger wrote over 30 songs over the three-week span in his bedroom that came equipped with his own personal studio. Unfortunately in the end, none of Eric's tracks were used on the album since Bey's teamed "changed direction on the album," but he tells us "just the experience alone changed my life."
Watch the interview above to hear about him and Jay Z' s ping-pong battles, his time in London working with Rihanna, and how he feels he has an advantage over other songwriters in this compelling exclusive.
Most mega artists have writer's camp, songwriting is no bullshyt and very competitive. Beyonce and these artists are machines and these writer's are the engine Oil
I get the feeling that he shouldn't be sharing this
PoopyDoopy39 sideye emoji....
***** oh ok lol. i really thought it was private information...
+PoopyDoopy39 Yeah. Because she did him a huge favor. She did nt even pay him. Usual corporate parasite
Why? 🤷♀️😂👍🏼
because shes beyonce?!?!?!
This interview was inspiring: even when you lose you're really winning especially when your mind is positive and creative
Well said fam.✊🏾🤴🏿
Even if Beyoncé has 2000+ writers she still has that it factor that obviously non of these writers or so called
producers can perform or create to make it sell. She is the advertisement she is the product it's business and it's the music business and all of it is experience and creativity being brainstormed it's called art.
Great comment 👍
Finally someone gets it👏
Did you type this basic comment with crayons?
Rihanna has the it factor.
@@verystylishordinarypeople yes Rihanna has it too!
people in the comments section have something against teamwork. Whitney barely wrote any of her songs. MJ, like Beyoncé, wrote more earlier on his career after that, he also had a lot of song writers. none of them were "robbed", experience with working with Beyoncé, is something that can get you farrrrr. And you get money in song writing credits. She did the vocal production, adding melodies and lines to the songs. Y'all really don't know much about the music industry but have sooooo much to say
this is basically most artists. jeez
So why do most people make a big deal out of rappers having writers which is the basically the same thing singers have. People try to point out that it's wrong in rap but its ok in RnB. But little do they understand ghostwriting will always be a part of rap because it was always part of the birth of rap.
Chez Mcmann Because rappers often brag about writing their own songs when most singers dont 💀 The problem is lying about it, not doing it.
Whitney Houston had a special gift which is her voice. No comparison.
@@chezmcmann4367 because a rappers first job is to write. A singers first job is to sing.
Such a good interview. Just got done reading "The Song Machine" and this is such good detail of a couple of the parts in the book
One of the best interviews I've seen! So interesting
isn't his face nice
One of the best interviews I have heard
It takes a team to make a hit, and that can't be left to chance, at that level of the game, it doesn't make sense unless there is a definite return on investment, especially when it's hard to even sell any units at all. Better be enough hits that will be able to support a lengthy tour. That's the only way to get that money bac.
***** There are plenty of artists and musicians that don't need a "team" to make hits.
That's debatable.
Yeah, okay...
Arthur Rimbaud na you're correct. thats why she didn't win that award. the grammy comity don't play that shit
Soulja Boy tell em was written by a team? 🤔
What is everyone complaining about?? She was never secretive about working with different writers and collaborating with producers. We've seen footage from the Hamptons from when she was recording. You guys will find anything to complain about. Everyone who was on the album was credited. So what's the problem? You guys make it seem like she kidnapped these writers and held a gun to their heads or something. All these talented people coming together to create something should be celebrated not looked down upon.
Exactly
Obviously it’s something that artist with the money or capability do. Not Beyoncé alone, so people need to stop singling her out for something that is done by many in the industry. That just shows how uneducated people are when it comes to situations like this. I don’t know how the industry works either, but I’m not going to pass judgment on something I know nothing about. He’s telling you so just shut up and listen!
Thanks for this video - was totally clueless on how this goes down
***** do Eric a favor and edit this vid before he black balls himself. He didn't say anything inappropriate or world changing to the music game but ego's are ego's. He seems like he's a good dude that's trying to give you a good interview but it's going to back fire.
True
HE IS SSSSOOOOOOOO TALENTED!!! I LOVE YOU ERIC BELLINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great interview ..Eric Bellinger so Dope
Maybe they should pay the song-writers an hourly rate/salary for working around the clock making hit songs for them?
Seems like a great guy
nice face right?
they gonna black ball him for talking bout it. Vlad cut him a check for this
I Thought the same thing.. But He just did a tribute to Brandy at BMI.. So he's still around.. I guess
dope interview! very insightful and honest.
Luv to know who the interviewer is guys! Fantastic job! Maintained a great flow on such an intriguing topic! Respect! - Keith
Wait, is he even allowed to talk about this?
Yes. Not a crime
And i Oop MonstaxBts bro you obviously don’t get how the world works. He probably did get heat for this
And i Oop MonstaxBts even he said himself he shouldn’t be talking about this
It harder to sing something someone else write for you then a what yourself..to be able to nailed it is very hard beyond measure
It is not hard without measure to sing a song that you didn't write. 😂
@@verystylishordinarypeople yes it must have been easy for Whitney Houston who didn’t write a lick
Very insightfull
I knew Eric when he was in O.N.E and I knew he would blew up one day! Much blessings Eric
HES SO GOOD LOOKING. I'm going to cry. 😂👌🏼😧😘😋😰😦✋🏼😿😩😀😁🍌💦😭😳😀
We can see what you're doing.
Every room has a studio in it. I don't believe this.
He's probably referring to a computer, instrument, etc... Tools that make up a studio...
The Hamptons is the Beverly Hills of NY. Superwealthy ppl or ppl who bought homes 30 years ago who didn't have a lot of money. Trust me, there were 20 studios.
he has a good face... (so cute before going blonde)... vlad always gets face time with the fine ....
LongHairDontCareAlwaysSlayedRingnBaed still cute blonde, green, blue, whatever else he wants! He's a King 👑
I love how y’all haters are acting like this is some big reveal. Beyoncé has an entire 5 video documentary that she released when that album was released. It’s on UA-cam. She talked about the writing camp. Sia, Jay, Timbaland, Pharrell, and JT were all in the camp. It’s no secret that she has writers. She contributes to small lyrical changes, but she does a lot of the vocal arrangement and all the vocal production, hence she gets songwriting credits. This is not a secret, or even an industry anomaly.
Exactly
But, he doesn't ever say anything sooo I can say anything I want. 😂👌🏼I WANT TO SEE YOUR DIG. Bye 👋😂👍🏼
7:55
Hes talented
Vlad got this nigga spilling the beans😂
Dude I like that Jesus piece. You know "Meechee"?
Stealing from other people and selling it as her own idea is what she can do best. Unfortunately the people that call her out for that are not heard at all
She literally boosts the economy and they dont have to worry about fame. They are recognized where they need to be recognized. Perfect position... She has live ability to sing and dance, its a perfect mixture, their not complaining, just people like you lol
EXACTLY. A thief!!!!
@@voraciouschild9226 how is it stealing if they are credited? Y’all make no sense
How is it stealing? When y’all work at your jobs and contribute ideas to the manager or ceo, is that stealing? No. This is how creativity works. Everyone brings their ideas to the table and it’s not stealing if you’re credited for it. This guys music wasn’t used at all so no need for credit. It’s called division of labor. If artists did everything, songwriters won’t have jobs. So shut up
@Molly Cost y’all have no sens e
These "artist" are not artist, they're singers/performers.
so singing isn't an art? I swore it was a PERFORMING ART. I mean when you go to a performing arts school, singing is definitely one of the majors someone studies. definitely an artist
As if singing isn’t an art. Arrangement, vocal production, melodies and harmonies are part of singing. And are very important to the song. Not just the lyrics/words.
Mariah Carey ...🔥
Damn. They worked really hard writing songs for Beyonce then she gets credits for every songs on the album.
Bec she writes them
@@mim4371 wut!?
Because she doesn’t just use The song. She adds her own spin too it. Either rearranging it or adding her own lyrics or melodies or harmonies. These will get you writing credit as well.
@@chi8772 Are you in the music business?
@@verystylishordinarypeople are you in the music business?
unbelivable people say shes one of the greatest of all time how? she have a team of people writting and making music for her
Frank Sinatra didn't write some of his hits neither did Whitney, does that make them less of artist? And I think she's more of an entertainer as a whole.
***** you are clearly young. I'm old school, greats like Aretha, Mahalia, Whitney didn't write a beep.
Lovely Candice
Not at all. But Beyonce is known for stealing songwriting credit. Now that's a problem
Lovely Candice Sinatra didn't write ANY of his songs. Neither did Elvis. And I don't consider either of them "artists" either. Like Beyonce, they were great performers/entertainers. But, ARTISTS? No.
george michael Yeah, she's usually one of about 20 people credited on each of her songs. I'm sure she comes up with a lyric here and there.
DAMN has Beyonce ever written her own song?! who knows you better than YOU,but everybody isn't blessed with writing ability I guess
NoTy187Tv yep.. comes down to the last thing you just said.
She dont gotta write her songs. She sings the hell out of them
And she's known for singing not being a song writer
Sasha Cat your right she doesn't have to write her own songs but you would think as an artist she would have tried to write one by herself by now Michael Jackson had writers too but he penciled out a couple of his own songs from time to time
NoTy187Tv mj and beyonce aren't the same.
I bet beyonce and her team stole some lyrics oder beats from him. Do yall really think they let him go without taking something? I bet he found some of his things on the album but if he calls her out his career is over in one minute
If you weren’t in the studio with them then stop assuming
How is she considered an artist when others do the work for her? Shes the face of the operation. She plahs.no instrument. Has a team of writers. Steals choreography. Beyonce is so over rated
Do you know the majority of artist's dont write their stuff
You must be daft. How does she steal a choreography if the choreographer teaches it to her? Y’all don’t have sense at all. Writing isnt just the only part of production. You have to arrangement, produce vocals, add melodies or harmonies. These things bey does very well and gets her credit. And she plays the piano.
You are clueless, just a hater!!!!
