Lex Luger on Kanye's contribution to the beat: "That [opera sound on the beat] was Kanye. I liked it because he had built it around the beat I had made. The beat had a choir, but it was a regular trap, hard choir, going up and down. And what he did was, he built it around that, and made it like 600 people were really in there singing that and playing that. He put his own Kanye on it."
I remember when this first dropped. I was on holiday break from college, playing MW2 in my room - banging this shit on repeat. What a song. Captures the entire vibe both of these legends were on when they blessed us with this album. I can only wish they come back with a sequel.
I was 14 when this song came out and I was one of the biggest Ye fans out there. My anticipation for this album was through the roof, and this song was a great sample of what was a great album.
This is the song I play when I’m doing sprints or need to go hard at the gym. In my opinion, it’s one of the best songs either of them has done, together and individually. I love choir samples and unexpected change ups. We need more of this in the current music being put out.
Yeah but not gonna lie, the lyrics are always shit in Kanye's songs. Average rappers like Kanye are saved by the production, this song is amazing because the production is so experimental. While hearing the drop, choir and mix this just feels like I'm about to shake hands with God.
That sub at lil wayne was ridiculous…”I’m like really half a billie, nigga really you got babys money, keep it real with niggas, niggas ain’t got my ladies money” …. He went ham on that bar
I don't know bro. They had a lot of hard ones on the Watch The Throne Album. Not to mention the track they have together on the Kanye West presents GOOD Music album.
it is unbeliveable that public opinion or both kanye & jayz fans initial reaction to this banger was being underwhelmed when it first came out. it was an instant classic to me!!
Whenever I hear this song I picture my boys and I strapping up to rob a bank. Then things go wrong and a giant shootout unfolds. I'd never do such things, but thats what goes in my head with this crazy beat.

broooo that 2k13 vibe when it first starts damnn where has the time gone
Yessir bro
when it started i felt a 2k vibe but didnt know what year.
I miss 2k13, Jay didn't miss with the soundtrack.
No shit bro 2012-2016 were the goat years for me
ON EVERYTHING I LOVE DAWG FR
I wish modern rap music would incorporate more opera/orchestra elements in it, it sounds bloody epic
look up boosie
Yessss!!!! This opera orchestra sounds too epic
This used to be played on the radio back 2 back.... Think about that, then think of current day radio
do you guys know more songs like this ? a similar style would be with classical music like "Lord Knows" from meek mill and Tory Lanez
I had to come back to this song after hearing the Superhero meme song and how it kind of incorporates opera.
Thank you Project X.
Underrated movie

I never knew this, no wonder this is so fucking goated as an instrumental.
Lex Luger one of the most underrated producers in rap. Really influenced the current trap sound
Lex Luger the most important hiphop producer of the last 20 years
Anthony Fantano said this beat is garbage. I think he’s garbage. This is one of my favorite beats of all time.
@@malekk12omm
One of the hardest beats of all time and one of Jay's best verses
Facts
Lex luger really him
The beat gets me hard

Agree on the beat disagree on Jay's verse it like my least favorite verse from him. Beat is legendary tho

Orchestra part is the best part of this song tbh
One of the coldest tracks ever fam bam. 💯
Jigga murdered this beat -- sheesh!!
Project X vibez.
Legendary movie
I just watched that on Netflix again 😂
@@dontgivenofuckzz ngl.
One of the greatest songs of all time
10 years down the line and still I test my speakers and subs with this, total satisfaction 🔥🔥💯
Watch the throne don't step on our robe.
Bad enough we let you step on our globe.
Bruh 🔥 😫
Piece guard coz you know a nigga just went Ham
I have convulsions from this track. It's a masterpiece.
I always thought that Latin part was badass
So much nostalgia
It’s literally like a movie soundtrack
I love how everyone is here this always brings a smile to my face
Jay Z verse spoke to my SOUL!!! “Try to walk around in these shoes” !!!
Jay-Z made a shot at Weezy with that "u ain't got my lady money" line
And it was true
Birdman
This song bring another version of me when working out, I use it as a power boost and then when the beat hits?? I feel godlike with it
keep going beautiful 🦾☺
This track is insane 🔥
Yeah fr
Jay be on his whole nother God level flow
This beat just randomly came to my head 😂 I’m glad I found it
An essential track in the development and popularization of trap music
Jayz understood the assignment on this one , he went H.A.M
this shit still hard
Me and Jigga 🤣😅 bout to go ham
best track on wtt album imo
Jay- Z & Kanye was the best duets I ever heard of. Wish they would make 1 more come back together🙌💯
Yeah them are cool both
I go with redman and method man
was looking for this couple weeks ago , Jay Z killed this
Bro Jay killed basically everything he's ever been on GOAT rapper, easily.
Bruh kanye threw up on this shit..
"Lifes a bitch but I bet she suck my dick" all his bars are so cold.
Kanye also killed it, give some props to my boy Ye as well.
That outro when the beat drop at 4:00 is so fucking hard. Nah, Luger was talking to a higher power himself when he made this shit
He said Kanye put that choir sht in it n it kept going higher n higher.... repeating itself
The choirs are all Kanye. Lex did the synthesizers, drums and maybe the string parts. For sure the synths and drums though.
When that beat comes back !! 😲😲😲🔥🔥🔥🔥
I still get goosebumps when the Latin part comes in 🔥🔥
That’s Latin?
October 2024 still here going HAM
it is unbeliveable that public opinion or both kanye & jayz fans initial reaction to this banger was being underwhelmed when it first came out. it was an instant classic to me!!
People weren't ready for that choir plus the Illuminati talk was at a all time high so people thought it was satanic.
I swear this was on of the hardest songs out back than and it didn’t do the numbers I think it deserves!
Lex Luger documentary got me back here
this shit underrated nowadays its aged like fine wine.
This goes unbelievably hard.
I hope this Kanye comes back so we could hopefully get Hova on a good beat again
Kanye’s mentor made Jay a whole album worth.
Totally forgot about this, watching project x brought me back here !!! Still HAM!!
Jay z really killed this shit 😢 round the time I dove back to his catalog and he became my favorite rapper
“Fcuk y’all MAD at me For? y’all don’t even know what I been thru” 🔥
