The Alchemist's Beat

First up, we have a beat made by a producer named The Alchemist. This beat is considered one of his best works. It's called "We Gonna Make It" and was used in a song by Jadakiss featuring Styles. Even though The Alchemist played it for Jay-Z, he didn't show much interest in it!



OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP SAMPLES


Timbaland's Beats

In a video, we see Timbaland playing some beats for Jay-Z. One of those beats eventually became the famous song "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" from The Black Album. But guess what? Jay-Z didn't choose it at first! Another beat from the same video was later used by Ludacris for his song "Number One Spot/The Potion." Jay-Z missed out on these awesome beats!


Pump It Up by Joe Budden

Next, we have a beat called "Pump It Up" by Joe Budden. The producer Just Blaze played this beat for Jay-Z, but he passed on it. However, Jay-Z later changed his mind and made a remix of the song. This caused some tension between him and Joe Budden. Oops!

Believe it or not, Jay-Z passed up on many more beats throughout his career. It's not just him, though. Artists often make choices like this. So, which of these beats would you have liked to hear Jay-Z on the most? Let me know in the comments!

YouTube has announced that they have changed their requirements for monetization

  Photo by cottonbro studio YouTube has announced that they have changed their requirements for monetization. The new requirements are that 500 subscribers, three public uploads in the last 90 days, and either 3,000 watch hours, three million YouTube short views, or a combination of both is needed for monetization.

Some advantages that smaller starting-off YouTube channels have are small channel appeal and the ability to create a tribe of early supporters. Sma...
