While looking for BP3 tour footage from FLA, I stumbled across this video of what appears to be an excerpt from a documentary on enigmatic producer, Mark The 45 King. Here he and Hov talk about the making of Jay’s 1998 breakthrough hit. Kid Capri, the man who made the connect, is also featured.
CAN’T BELIEVE THAT SHIT WAS 10 YEARS AGO!!!! THIS WAS THE SONG THAT PUT JAY INTO THE MAINSTREAM!!!! ILL SAMPLE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Dope!
Great Find! I Co-Sign Disel
cool as hell
dope insightful interview. its a shame ppl from “across the pond” pay homage to the pioneers of our culture more than we do here where it originated. i was “youtube digging” yesterday lol. once again, dope interview and great post.
ON POINT HOW IT CAME TOGETHER NICE INTERVIEW…DONT MESS UP MY DRUMS LOL.
JIGGA!
This is why I come to RapRadar for posts like this….Thank you sir, where can I find the rest YN?

Not a bad return on a 25-cent investment.
nice find
It’s from the national swedish television and their series “Hitlåtens historia” (History of a hit-record).
The full clip is about 28 min and can be found here:

he did that jay song !

now he needs that Nasir SONG !!!
45 KING iz a crazy producer thus who will have his third big hit ?
Greatest!
watch the beat kings and see 45 talk about buying the annie record for a quarter.
HOV THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME AND HE GONNA DO IT TILL HE IS 50 YEARS OLD
NIGGAS WILL BE LIKE THATS IT NO ARGUEMENT, U ARE THE G.O.A.T.
I think people forget about all the hits this guy made for Latifah and the Flavor unit back in the day
But I agree with what somebody up top said, He made “Stan” for Em, “Hard Knock Life” for jigga, he need to lace Nas with a classic next
[…] I love shit like this. I always thought 45 King was an interesting figure and this video is the story of how he made the beat for “Hard Knock Life” from Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life. You also hear and see Jay-Z & Kid Capri give their accounts. I don’t what documentary this is from but it seems well done and I would like to find out what it is. Spotted @ Rap Radar. […]

[…] to Rap Radar for the find. Enjoy and Be […]
This is really interesting. Just to throw it out there- I think it’s feasible that Hov could take The Beatles.
