About 34 minutes in he starts to talk about creating his own recording studio where Rodney Jerkins was a main stay producer.

He talks about the boy is mine at the 37 min mark ... the instrumental for the song was produced in his studio.. Vocals done elsewhere.

He talks about how "the boy is mine" melody is like a "Theme Song" like "the Godfather Theme" and has epic strings mixed down into the track that can barely be heard but are very epic..

Get ready for this song to blow you away at the upcoming Symphony Orchestra!!

:plzstop:


He knew Rodney Jerkins from the time Rodney was 13 and helped to shape his sound and ear.

In his studio - he set up lots of little studio rooms that young producers took over..
He had a room for Rodney Jerkins, The Roots, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams and the Neptunes, etc

Timbaland did Justin Timberlake first few records at his studio - including sessions when Cameron Diaz was there because she was dating Timberlake at the time.

This Larry Gold guy did strings on so many of my favourite songs and his strings are actually some of the best parts of the songs.. I didn't realize I loved this man until today.

:wub:

Haha, there's a funny Kanye story around the 48 min mark

He created "Flashing Lights" in 1 day for Kanye, he did 808's & Heartbeat

He even helped Kanye propose to Kim K with a 60 piece Orchestra playing her favourite song.
