Ya'll know what it is, Young Guru aka the Glue aka the Beast aka Hank McCoy.
I'm chillin' each and every time.
It's not just a special guest. This is my homeboy. Welcome to Skee Tv, let's go.
The legend himself. We are back stage of the grammy headquarters and
what are people going to see tonight?
Man, Grammy University has been kind enough to put together this Era
The Engineer Tour for me and tonight is just information given about
engineers. About my history. About how important it is
to still have an engineer in this digital age. I'm going to explain to them what I do on a daily basis
with mixing and recording albums.
I can't wait to hear it. I'm actually go out there and introduce you right now.
It's going down. Learn something right now, Skee Tv.
Make some noise ladies & gentlemen. Grammy U
the Recording Academy, welcomes Young Guru. *claps*
You don't normally get a call, "Oh were starting a Jay Z album" It doesn't work that way.
"I want you to start the album next week." It doesn't work that way.
We were already working with someone. Kanye came in with a cd that was really good and Jay Z started recording.
And from that Friday to that Monday
we did about 80% of The Blueprint album. It was just like ok,
do whatever you can do to not break this vibe because this is incredible. This guy was just killing records right now.
and that was the start of us doing The Blueprint.
And The Blueprint sorta was this monumental
milestone
in my career.
Because not only did it launch me as an engineer, it launched Just Blaze as a producer, and Kanye West as a producer.
And it gave a a lot of guys in our camp a lot of confidence in what they were doing.
