[edit] Re: Recording Sessions for American Gangster
Yea, I checked other recording session section and they're pretty much just quotes from the artist about how they recorded the album. i looked through old xxl archives and shit but couldn't really find anything.....Bren202 10:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- i just threw this together.....iono if its any good, but yea
Jay-Z originally stated he recorded nine tracks for the album,[1] but the final track listing accumulated fifteen overall cuts (two bonus tracks). Jay-Z would have the film—American Gangster—playing on the monitors above the booth to keep him inspired.[2] In an interview with MTV producer L.V. from The Hitmen said:[3]
Jay would have the beats...He'd do the record, and he'd send it back to us. We'd fill in the blanks as far as making them full records. From having live horns, live strings, live drummers. This percussion dude, he was coming in with bottles, banging on bottles, just sprinkles of sh--. We went all out. We brought in musicians to bring it out. Jay probably just heard a sample and some drums. Once we got the vocals back, we brought in all the extra candy
....i took the first sentence from the background section.....iono if you feel like it would go good on the page post it up... --Bren202 01:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
iono i posted it under distribution the first time, but distribution prbly would cover more mso i guess just under iTunes?→Bren202 02:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- I read somewhere that they pulled it because the label heads felt like itunes took to much of the money and they refused to give them the rights so they would lose money. i also read that labels are trying to start there own online music store and stop giving itunes the rights to their music. i dont noe if it was true...doesnt really have anything to do with anything i was just saying....i also read that jay was the one who leaked the american gangster screener online because he tried to audition for the role of frank lucas before they signed denzel so he got pissed leaked the movie and made an album to try to take away from the movies sales or sumthin....prbly not true since it was on a blog and i didnt hear nothing after that...but they did say they had a source...once again just saying--Bren202 02:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- agreed--Bren202 02:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
agreed, i was just looking at curtis and thinking american gangster's page was better--Bren202 02:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- i guess....im probably biased since i hate 50 cent and thought that was the worst album since the massacre or maybe t.i. vs t.i.p. either way. i was checking out the documentary page that page really murdered all others....--Bren202 02:34, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American Gangster GA on hold
So I've been improving the article to get it to GA (check the American Gangster talk page) and i wrote a second paragraph for the lead section....
Music critics praised American Gangster[4] and noted that Jay-Z was trying more complex lyrics.[5] The album was released to significant commercial success, despite being pulled from the iTunes Store,[6] selling 425,861 copies in it's first week and debuting at number one on the Billboard 200.[7]
I thought it could have been improved with some info about the album re-instating him as an important figure in hip-hop (like how people were saying he fell off after Kingdom Come) but couldnt find anything.....help?
p.s. the refs will work once they are posted to the page--Bren202 (talk) 02:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
PASSED! Yup, American Gangster is now a GA article--Bren202 (talk) 07:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Yea no problem, I still wanna post that second paragraph to the lead just need like another couple sentences--Bren202 (talk) 07:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yea I noticed, I would expand but i just don't know what to put....whatever--Bren202 (talk) 07:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Cool
I was trying to clean-up Lupe Fiasco's The Cool and i was just wondering if you know where i can find the sample info--Rebel Without a Pause (talk) 05:37, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- yea, there's not a lot of info on the album I don't even know if the producer list is right i just added the names based on the composer credits--Rebel Without a Pause (talk) 05:47, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- haha, originally I was just going to add the songwriter credits but i ended up re-writing the whole page, I guess if you wanna try for GA, or at least B, I'm down--Rebel Without a Pause (talk) 06:03, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I wrote something for the page but i don't know where i should put it. I was thinking of adding it to recording sessions or replacing recording sessions with it. Maybe adding it in concept or maybe it's not even needed.
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool has been noted for it's darker feel compared to Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor.[8] During the recording of the album, Lupe Fiasco's father died,[9] his good friend Stack Bundles died, and his business partner and mentor—Charles “Chilly” Patton—was sentenced to 44 years in prison.[10] When asked about the albums dark side, Lupe Fiasco replied:
Oh yeah. A lot of loss. I lost my father, I lost my business partner to prison, and I lost some friends. It was a very dark period. It still is in some aspects, but you know, I’m kind of coming out of it. But especially during the time that the album was being cooked, in my head it was a very dark kind of period.[9]
What do you think?--Rebel Without a Pause (talk) 06:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- added. still don'tknow but ima just leave it--Rebel Without a Pause (talk) 07:04, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Product of the South
Hi Karma, thanks for the heads up on the album. I thought it might've been his next studio album but I guess not. April 08 seemed pretty early for another Young Buck album! Spellcast (talk) 20:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Yo
I've just been busy. Haven't really had the time. I rarely use my computer now. I might start editing again but seems unlikely. I still use wikipedia but don't edit.--Rebel Without a Pause (talk) 07:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Doggystyle
Hi, I'd just like to start off by saying that I think that you've helped out alot with your contributions towards Hip hop articles and that you seem like a great editor. I'm not sure if your editing anymore, but if you are would you be willing to help me out ? I'm planning to get the Doggystyle article up to at least Good Article status at first, then maybe Featured. I notcied that you had a significant role on getting the American Gangster page to GA class, so I think your help would be invaluable to Doggystyle. I'm not sure if your a big Snoop fan or whatever but I know you must be a big Hip hop fan, so I think you'd be a great help with improving the page, so are you up for it ? - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 14:21, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's cool. If you ever get back into editing and want me to work on some articles with you, just drop me a line. Later. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 15:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
