Ryan Leslie should be taken as an example

[Elano]

He's not afraid to film his recording sessions,Leslie is able to play several instruments,i don't know how many r&b/hip hop producers can do the same.
Some of our favorite hh producers don't want to show themselves in the studio because they barely play 1 instrument.
PROPS to Ryan Leslie

You really should start clicking my threads more...

[Elano]

sure but this is a sorta of "appreciation thread".
more producers should be not afraid to film themselves in the studio

^^ Well said.  One of my musical inspirations is watching his videos..  It's very comforting to see a producer go through a "real process" to create their music..

[Jaydc555]

That's because he's a real artist.you will never see a pop artist do that for the same reason a lot of them lip sync at concerts.

Dre is probably afraid because you'll see 15 people with him in the studio when he works on a track

Lol yeah.  But I mean there's no shame in that.. There shouldn't be, as long as the music is good, right?  Who cares how many ppl help u make that good stuff.

No shame if you don't want to have all the credits at the end...

It's just embarassing to watch rappers int he studio though a lot. there's usually one guy who knows whats going on (the engineer) while they dick around, drink, smoke weed, and take 100 tries to get a half a verse.

[Þŕiņçë]

Cool

Producers like this are the reason i play 2 instruments and am aspiring to learn more

[Jaydc555]

What instruments you play?

[Þŕiņçë]

This deserves a bump, because i never heard of dude an i looked him up an his music is pretty hot.

I play alto saxaphone and i am learning piano.

[Elano]

^
yeah !
ryan leslie is a TRUE MUSICIAN 

[worm9103]

Ryan Leslie is the fuckin man.

Too bad some of his hottest beats were partially ruined by Cassie's talentless (tho FINE) ass...

[Mackin]

Mr Leslie is indeed talented..Sometimes watching him jump from one instrument to the other is inspiring!!

But when i jump on the keyboard i can play all day, but the tune is not something i want to put down..lol.....

But some producer don't want to work the instruments, soem feel right at home knowing what the instruments, while they focus all thier energy in the final mix of the song..
