I made this one beat where I sped up this Harold Melvin sample I played it for Hip over the phone, he's like, "Oh, yo that s*** is crazy Jay might want it for this compilation album he doin', called The Dynasty."

And at that time, like the drums really weren't soundin' right to me so I went and um..

I was listening to Dre Chronic 2001 at that time.

And really I just, like bit the drums off "Xxplosive" and put it like with a sped-up sample, and now it's kind of like my whole style, when it started, when he rapped on "This Can't Be Life."

And that day I came and I tracked the beat and I got to meet JAY-Z and he said, "Oh you a real soulful dude."

And he, uh, played the song 'cause he already spit his verse by the time I got to the studio. You know how he do it, one take. And he said

"Tell me what you think of this."

And I heard it, and I was thinking like, man, I really wanted more like of the simple type JAY-Z. I ain't want like the, the more introspective, complicated rhy- or the... in my personal opinion.

So he asked me, "What you think of it?"

And I was like, "Man that s*** tight," you know what I'm sayin', man what I'ma tell him?

dont think he actually wasted the cant be life beat but this was just the first thing that came to mind when i saw thread title
