Jay-Z December 4th - Just Blaze vs 9th Wonder

[C-Styles]

i'd have to go with the just Blaze one but by a thin hair! his beat just gives you that extra emotion that makes you have chills and your hairs stand up every time you hear the melody... something few producers can give you

9th's. Feel the same about 9th over Alchemist's version of Last Real nikka Alive too

9th version is nothing short of a masterpiece

If you want it, let me know on a reply, inbox, or dap, but 9th Wonder remixed the whole Black Album a few weeks after it came out. He even remixed the beat the he did on it. Jay really liked the remixes too. It's pretty good. I'm happy to upload it.

Please send breh

I love the 9th version of this, he's a genius for sampling the intro of ATLiens

I also loved his remix of My 1st Song, killed the original

Wonder but Just is better for TBA if it makes sense.

Just blaze had the better beat

Just's version, but 9th's is pretty fantastic too.

You May Die is a great intro

You just mean that it made more sense for Just to kick off TBA? I agree. I think especially with What More Can I Say and Encore following it up, and both having a lot of horns, Just's version of December 4th kind of fits in really well with that. 9th's version is cool because it's somber and reflective, but if 9th's version is followed by the album versions of the next 2 songs, it would be a little out of place.

Also, 9th Wonder's contribution with Threat is pretty much a perfect story. 9th said that out of the beats he played for Jay, that Jay really liked these as well. )The Black Album Rejects beat tape from 9th Wonder that floated around in 2004 was actually not the real group of beats that he played.)

One more post for the beat nerds about how the 9th Wonder December 4th remix came about. It's the same drums exactly as Little Brother's "For You" and 9th made it when Little Brother did a show in Atlanta, and they may have been opening for Outkast. The idea was for the beat to switch to the Outkast sample for the 2nd verse during the live show.

It works perfectly for Dec 4th though.
