Next up, letter T: “Threat” #JayZ30 #JayZ
Young Guru and Questlove’s appreciation for North Carolina’s hip-hop group Little Brother led to a meeting between 9th Wonder and Jay-Z during the recording of ‘The Black Album.’ Below, 9th and Guru detail the process of the producer playing 29 beats for Jay and executing Jay’s concept for “Threat,” which 9th created on the spot using Fruity Loops in “about 20 minutes.” Then, Cedric the Entertainer hilariously recounts his involvement freestyling the spoken-word skit on the track.
“As long as I live, and even when I’m gone, nobody will ever be able to take that away from me,” 9th Wonder said of producing the song and being name-dropped by Jay-Z on ‘The Black Album.’

Next up, letter S: “Say Hello” #JayZ30 #JayZ DJ Toomp: “That’s the genius of Jay-Z, too. He knows how to attach that branding ... he attached it to ‘American Gangster’ because that was the new big Denzel movie that was coming out ... and it actually felt like the soundtrack to the movie when you listen to it and align it with all the parts. So, he based it around that, which was brilliant.” Toomp told T.I. in January, “I had, like, top three songs that I wanted to play [for Jay-Z] … of course, I tried to get an original joint in just to have all the publishing. And he was like, ‘Yeah, that’s cool, but let me hear some of that soul.’ ...If you go on YouTube, you can see where I was actually making that beat before I even went to New York. …When I got there … Jermaine [Dupri], LRoc, and No ID, all of us was in the studio. I started playing it, and he started bobbing his head. …About 15 minutes later — no pen, no pad — that man went straight to the booth.”
