Title: Ryan Leslie should be taken as an example
Post by: Elano on April 14, 2009, 12:17:42 PM
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.

^^ 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..

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  :D

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.

Ryan Leslie is the fuckin man.

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

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..
