Jay Z - The Black Album - Production Listing

IP:

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.
