At the age of 14, Leslie scored a 1600 on his SATs a perfect score - In 1993, he applied to four University of California campuses as well as Stanford, Yale and Harvard. At the age of 19, Leslie graduated from Harvard with a degree in Government, concentrating in Political Science and Macroeconomics.. LESLIE THE BEST
Yeah but puffy took is girl and is a billionaire way way way over Ryan Leslie , no one uses his beats no more his far fallen of plus I don't think he had a major hit or hits under his belt talk more of a smash hit, he filed for backruptcy a few years ago because he made a promise when he travelled to the Caribbeans and his back pack were his lap top was stolen got missing with all his upcoming work talking about badluck etc do your research on that it left him to file for bankruptcy, fuck a 1600 perfect sat score when you no more rich in your 50sss but everyone know you as a celebrity producer 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️

Ryan Leslie came in like Superman with the shades on instead of the "S" and the cape. He is the coolest secret nerd in the world. An undercover genius in the hip-hop industry.
It’s crazy how the most basic chords and breakdowns make the best beats while blowing peoples’ minds. This beat is so simple, but fire. One of my faves of all time
Between 1:30 and 1:50......ABSOLUTE GENIUS! The way he puts in melodies and harmonies is just pure and almost surreal. The chords, strings, everything...musical genius! It still mind boggles me on how much melody goes through his brain
Ryan Leslie is a true inspiration to the music game. He has that raw talent that is currently unmatched by no other. The combination of his talent and education gives him the edge to soar past any would-be competitor, and onto another level. Thank you for being such a positive role model for me and others alike.
This track is going straight to number 1. cant wait. bringin that old school fab sound back with a twist. i cannot believe how crazzzzy the harp sounded in the intro background...1.39 onwards.... this kid is too good. on the fly thinking, on the fly production. Gods blessed this guy with talent
@SuperYoungLoso that's real respect... you stand up and give a grown man a pound or hand shake... MF's these days don't know the foundations of respect!
I always knew the producer and A&R can play a huge part in making hits, 2021 and I’m going back to old music because it’s the best. Definitely gotta give Ryan his props
i started playing keyboard and making music cause of this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 motivation and inspiration at its purest form!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RYAN YOU ARE THE MAN..if it would not have been music it would have been something else....this guy is a genius!!!! he probably could find the cure to all the diseases on the planet
Ryan was supposed to be Fab's Timberland Think this was the one producer that could make beats that married Fabs style and demeanor to a T. Sad it never happened. Fab need to do his next album exclusively with RLes if he can
Was it just me or did Ryan Leslie look mythical in the studio man. It seemed as if everything he put he hands on turned into diamonds, I like that and I been a fan too. I always loved this guy's sound
Fab is my favorite rapper!!! He stayed consistant in da game since 01 with 1 of da best swags in rap period, and Ryan Leslie #musical genius!! "Thumbs up if u agree"
Not to hate on the studio cats, but vary cool that Fabolous was the only one who stood up to greet Ryan Leslie upon his arrival.
Respect and love. Humility too
Man Of Respect…!!!!
Well they are like homies.
*" Never greet a man sitting down, Real Recognize Real. "* - @1852live
Sometimes just watching the process of a dope track being born is just as good as hearing the finished product.
A tip: watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
True 100%
Always
I love how Loso stands up for him and waits to greet him while the rest stay seated. Thats love and respect right thur
But that's disrespectful from RL I would've shaked his hand before the dude with earphone since he stood up before me

@@adetolaodukoya3493He’s got other things going on. And he’s still a brilliant guy. Look at Diddy now. Who would you rather be?
And his parents are pastors for the Salvation Army.
@@adetolaodukoya3493he’s an entrepreneur with various ventures and has a net worth of $9 million. Seems like he’s doing okay to me 🤷🏾♀️
Ryan Leslie is a BEAST. This beat was crazy.
The beat was done by clue. I think Les just laced the outro with the piano
He is so underrated frl I feel like he could come right back in 2023 with a r and b banger or either a fire as hook on someone track frl 💯💪

2020 & still feel this is highly underrated.
2022 and it still is underrated
2024 time to put some respect on the names.
this dude, he walks around like he knows the melody he wants...already all up in his head, just a way to execute it...GENIUS!
1:04 - 1:27 Just touched my musical soul. Those Keys !!
Old but gold
Abder Adr no time on music ,it’s forever
@@capcomshero7646 Absolutely!
It’s crazy how the most basic chords and breakdowns make the best beats while blowing peoples’ minds.
This beat is so simple, but fire. One of my faves of all time
Well is not that simple Bro... if it was simple an other producer would make it a day or other
I've just witnessed a master at work. Those harmonies be killin' 'em.
Between 1:30 and 1:50......ABSOLUTE GENIUS! The way he puts in melodies and harmonies is just pure and almost surreal. The chords, strings, everything...musical genius! It still mind boggles me on how much melody goes through his brain
I dont know how many times ive seen this in the past 11yrs. Be nice to see this chemistry again in 2k22
I think the best collaborations hip hop has ever seen is with Fabolous and R Leslie
I swear to God l always love this combination #Les and Loso = extra coolness and humble demeanor too
Ryan Leslie is a musical genius!! I will NEVER get tired of his music.
💯🔥
Young Troy Ave just chilling in the studio with Fabolous and DJ Clue....

I been watching this the last 11 years still hit till this day!
His breakdowns sound like approaching heaven
I remember when this dropped and how much I love the break with the instruments and fab’s ad libs “you be killin em” Ryan Leslie is that guy! 🔥🔥🙌🏾
This is fire the chemistry is there
As a music producer, i miss these sessions. Everyone just wants you to "send beats"
your last channel video ESCAPE was released in '21 and you claim to be a music producer really? 🤔
this guy is a BEAST period.
thank you for allowing us have a peek into your genius creative methodology and ability to develop great music. your talent is greatly appreciated
that keyboard solo at 1:06 is fkn AMAZING, chills non stop..respect the man he is a true artist.
Once Ryan added his vocal it became really really unique. It reminded me of when Drake was in the back of 'Unthinkable'. Awesome work!
Unforgettable ?
Man every 6 months I always end up back here, Addiction, and Lay DOwn. Fab and him HAVE TO make an album together. Please
You know it's respect because Fab stands right up when Ryan Leslie enters the room.
ryan leslie...simply the best
Walked in... and Ryan was killin Em!! Walked out... smooth.
Ryan Leslie is a genius! Love the way he did the ending!!

Helloooo 2020
That dude is def in bliss...he come in, hears it...then lays it down...dude is the man!
Even clue had to admit he can’t do what Ryan can do. Ya man came in added some keys and vocals and elevated that whole track
This kinda made me cry! I’m also an artist and to see this man in his element is such a beautiful thing! I feel the passion through the production
Ryan leslie is a cold ass musician.
Master at work.
Probably my favorite video ever.
Never seen this before, beautiful.

The part with Ryan "giving some harmonies" gave me chills!
Unreal

Ryan...you always seem to make it work! Well done!!!
It is like steppin into a heavenly place for a few seconds
I love this song. The beat is off the chain.
This track is going straight to number 1. cant wait. bringin that old school fab sound back with a twist. i cannot believe how crazzzzy the harp sounded in the intro background...1.39 onwards.... this kid is too good. on the fly thinking, on the fly production. Gods blessed this guy with talent

2019 still here
This guy is my idol. Hes unbelievably talented. Respect to Ryan Leslie
Amazing Ryan!!!!
Ryan you are such an music genius that to many people are sleeping on!!!
They should have left Ryan's ad lib harmonies in the final track
@SuperYoungLoso that's real respect... you stand up and give a grown man a pound or hand shake... MF's these days don't know the foundations of respect!
Amazing how he's in his own zone... The main created like 5 different versions in one session. Share the talent haha

I just noticed Troy Ave was in this video with Paul Cain feeling the beat
Troy ave always fucked with fabulous

Now the F€d$ raiDIn his homes 😂❤️
Its just a brilliant beat😮
All these years of watching this video and I just realized thats Troy Ave saying "He kept the shades on the whole time" at 1:53
Do you know who said "Yeah, man you gotta do it like that..."? Was it Fab or Ryan Leslie?
I always knew the producer and A&R can play a huge part in making hits, 2021 and I’m going back to old music because it’s the best. Definitely gotta give Ryan his props
Fabulous and Ryan leslie need to do a collab album.
This one classic 🔥🔥
r les is a musical doctor
2022 and it is still underrated
that was tight
2024 Where my Legends
Never Cease TO Amaze

RYAN YOU ARE THE MAN..if it would not have been music it would have been something else....this guy is a genius!!!! he probably could find the cure to all the diseases on the planet
The Drums remind me of a Mobb Deep Beat from 96. Gritty and Tough. Les is the Don.
Fabo and R Les always are dynamic together.. Cant wait for the LOSO's WAY 2..Fabo always comes out with them singles! cheaaa
Ryan was supposed to be Fab's Timberland
Think this was the one producer that could make beats that married Fabs style and demeanor to a T.
Sad it never happened.
Fab need to do his next album exclusively with RLes if he can
Timbaland*
How many times can one man be told he's AMAZING before it starts to go to his head? Ryan...YOU ARE AMAZING!!! From head to toe, simply...amazing!
2:58 - Mad respect
Was it just me or did Ryan Leslie look mythical in the studio man. It seemed as if everything he put he hands on turned into diamonds, I like that and I been a fan too. I always loved this guy's sound
1:55 troy ave in the back
4 words; good music, real talent!
