Jay Z - The Black Album - Production Listing
 

Blagged from another forum i'm on

1- December 04- Starts off with just a piano drop going. I'm guessing this is where Jay-Z's mom is speaking on the intro. Afer a little while it breaks down into a bunch of strings, pianos, guitar sounds, and vocals. I couldn't really make out the vocals. The beat is very complicated though. It's almost 6 minutes long.

2- The Threat- I don't wanna blow 9th's spot on this one. Some of you know the sample, some don't. I will just say it's hot, very soulful and there's a vocal sample. You can tell it's 9th.

3- Change Clothes and Go-no explanation

4- Lucifer- Crazy. Dark Dark Dark. Violin and string samples that are eerie.

5- Moment of Clarity- the Em beat that everyone is either dreading or anticipating. It's uptempo, with synthesized pianos. It's less stiff than most Em beats and it might be his best to date.

6- Soundtrack- Timbo. Funky ass guitar, bass, and pianos. It switches up near the end to a slower beat, sort of the opposite of Come and Get Me off of Vo. 3 where the beat goes from slow to faster and hyper.

7- 99 problems- 70's Rock joint. Reminescant of Guns & Roses off of BP2 but sounds better.

8- What More Can I Say?- Ya'll heard it.

9- Justify My Thug- Kinda weak. Isn't sampled except for thehook which has Madonna's "Justify My Love" sampled.

10- The Theater- Very Dr. Dre. Orchestral sounding beat. Not a cookie cutter Dre Beat like the ones you heard on 50 Cent's and Obie Trice's albums. More like some Chronic 2001 level shyt. Kinda dark.

11- Encore. HORNS. Horn sample all the way, kinda like the title track off of Blueprint 2. A vocal sample drops in at the end.

12- My First Song- reasonbale Doubt revistited.

Hope its the slightest bit interesting.
Sounding good though, i'm sure i'll be getting it!
Peace.

Totally, The first Blueprint was good, then the second came out, and The Black Album is meant to be his best so far.
