We need more video like this...Your creative process is amazing. I noticed you stepped up the production on the videos lately but these videos seem more real and easy to relate to.
I know nobody's gonna read this. but im a 18 years old producer from amsterdam & i make beats for 4 years now. and i think i got the right products to drop!! please support me
AWESOME.I SAW YOU AT THE FREE CENTRAL PARK CONCERT AND YOU DID A SPIN THAT WAS AWESOME.I MUST SAY I ADMIRE YOU AND RESPECT YOUR WORK.. ID LOVE TO DO A JOINT WITH YOU ....SERIOUS YOU DO THE BEAT AND I DO THE FLOW...
wow u just motivated me more bra thanxxx,your an alien bra hahahaha......i cant believe it if there wasn't a video of u getting down. .....keep it up u da greatest,who's this kanye west dude??? hahahahaha .....one luv son
With this mans talent levels there is no way he should be underrated. He should be constantly producing beats whether it be Drake to Rick Ross to Eminem to Mariah. If you have an ear for quality this man is A+ level quality... and QUALITY is what moves records in this industry!!
@r0t0rfreak dont be so sure about that he's been workin wit Kanye West and Jay-Z lately and these days u cant work with those cats without sellin' your soul. Listen to his song ''Glory'' and tell me that dont sound like the song of someone whose sold out.
i just love everything of the whole video. his voice, his sense for music, his amazing talent, his emotions in his voice, and the song of course. reminds me of my mom everytime i hear it.
Watching this and then hearing the final product is breathtaking. Nearly brings me to tears. I don't understand how he's so amazing at what he does and how other people don't see this. He's the BEST, and that's it.
When the beat drops and everything comes together, it's like an explosion of a master piece. I guess good music is supposed to be under appreciated sometimes. SmH...
EVERYBODY listen up, im just trying to get 500 subs,or at least 1,000+ views on atleast 1 video, for people to take me a little more serious, i need the "badges"(meaning the numbers), i also make quality content so it shouldnt be that hard for you guys to actually want too, PLEASE help me out here.....
@JPswaggalikeG He uses Pro Tools to record. But remember that the music comes from his mind. There is no digital "trickery" to his craft/art. Actually a quite old-school way of working, just loose and easy. Bless him for that.
@lewiscullen I'm 99% sure the entire thing is staged in some elaborate performance art piece. It would be cheaper than shooting a music video. Not saying its bad, just contrived.
Ryan is truly an inspiration and the future of music (hopefully)!!! Just something I noticed, at 2:06 you can see that he hears a bad note and he cringes and scratches his head, clearly he fixed that though so no biggie. Just goes to show you that even THE BEST make mistakes (in his case NOT OFTEN). Keep up the good work, you've got a fan for life!
This dude is nothing short of a GENIUS. That's literally what he is. I've watched this video umpteen times and it never ceases to marvel me. Ryan Leslie over any of these whack people on the radio now anyday!
all i can say he's just talented and gifted! and by this video i mean this guy is really good. i rather watch RL videos of his music in the making than any other artist.
What are you all saying, he is underrated? The video got over a million views. Time my friends time, sustainable success comes slow and will stay long. I just discovered him and so will many more people after me. And thus he will become bigger and bigger. Good luck man!
Lol. People aren't ready for this guy. He's creating something different here. Pushing a sound. Being creative, and not just catchy. Props to you man. Funny thing is, metal is my major genre, haha... Hope to meet meet this man someday.
Probably seen this too many times to count and I'm not sick of it, not once. 0.25 - 0.55 just so soothing! I swear if I could sing I'd be in interviews mentioning how wonderful his beats are and to work with him on an album. So Underrated!!
