2022 and I’m still watching this once a month for inspiration. Timeless masterpiece LES

Watching again in 2019, for the 1000th time. Anyone else?

R Les, Black Mozart. One of the most talented, educated and underrated musicians ever.

The one and Only Ryan Leslie. Most underated artist ever. Still watchin this in 2022. DAMN ! Many Thanks for the inspiration !!! Black Mozart is a Great Album ! Classics hits. Soundrack of my life

How does this not have over 1M views?? The world sleeps are R.Les.... Dude is a beast with it.

Watching in 2020 and there’s still no other artist that compares to Ryan Leslie !!!

Reinvention at its finest....He was a genius 5/6 years ago...today Ryan is in whole nother stratosphere waiting for us all to catch the fyuk up. Way ahead of his time x10 now.

2023 still a go to video for inspiration

Remember seeing this 9 years and feeling so inspired by this man. Been rocking with R Les since his first album, Les is More remains my favorite and I’m glad to see he’s dropping something in 2023. Most underrated artist of all time for sure

2019 and I’m still coming back.... thumbs up if I’m not the only one. Les is More give us some new 🔥

Ryan where are you man 😞… We need more like this! This…. is „Music“…

After watching this, I feel like Cardiak needs his own documentary too. He put in sooo much work like he always does and his beats are always amazing. Dude is extra humble too.

Always hit me direct with any critiques and comments. +1-915-600-6978. Always interested in reactions and perspectives.

Ryan Leslie you are a king and a legend in music history

2023. Had to double back for the inspiration. Ryan is the GREAT.

2023 and we still here yooo R Les will always be - in the house- letsss get ittttt

He's one of the only artist, I purchased a CD for. Good music!

Went to see him live in London, man it was amazing! I urge anyone if you get a chance and he comes to your city go for it!! You will not be let down!

Watching this documentary for the 100th time in 2021 - still fire

2020 squad where ya at? So messed up this ain't on Spotify/Apple Music!

CARDIAK is just straight up one of the most creative producer's in the game from his sampling to just straight musical talent this dude has got it!!! that black Mozart track is just crazy!!!

You need to rap like you play the piano... with passion. When you play the piano it speaks, but when you rap... "it's the voice not the words"

2023 who still watching ❤❤❤❤

Legendary Ryan Lesie...i will always come back and watch these inspirational videos...Seems like im the only one in 2020?

i watch this atleast once a week! inspirational as f***! keep it high man!!!

Ryan Leslie glad to see you are back and doing your thing. everyone is a critic and worse the negative ones probably couldn't survive one day hustling the way you do. looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Im rewatching this in 2022 and its still just as inspirational as the first time I’ve seen it. Simply Brilliant

Ryan you inspire me bro. I promise when i get to where i want in life, im telling the whole world your one of the reasons why i kept going and believing. You control your destiny no one can tell you shit! Love that man

The album is so freaking good! As soon as I heard "Lay Down" I flipped! Then "Full Moon" came on, I died, then "Only The Lonely" resurrected me, then I heard WondaGurl's tag and died again. Just good song after good song after good song after great song!

This was an awesome production, watched every minute, enjoyed every second!

this whole set up is so creative I work to it while I paint in the studio painting. A classic timeless watch

Love love love this....Love Ryan Leslie since Diamond Girl. Can't wait until the new album

Get yours Ryan...Keep innovating...

By far the best productions I have ever heard in recent years.

I know it feels good to have a team this dedicated to success.... Salute!!!

I'm late to this video but...You absolutely have to respect the versatility of this artist. He can do it all. A lot of people were upset about him rapping. A. If you've truly followed his career you'd know HE'S ALWAYS rapped. He was "Drake before Drake". Only thing is Ryan Leslie ACTUALLY could sing, write, produce, & play instruments. B. It's ok to step outside of your box & comfort zone. It's all about growth & re-inventing yourself. If this was Justin Timberlake, Justin Beiber or some white pop artist we'd be applauding this, instead we take it for granted because he's black & black artist are "suppose to do this". Shout out to this true MUSICAL GENIUS! Thank you Ryan Leslie aka Black Mozart.

Man, Ryan Leslie is the God of Music, he's definetly 100% the Black Mozart. I just don't believe how he and the other awesome producers just make these "Monster-Beats". Every Beat I heard of Leslie and his Crew just stopped the beating of my heart for a second, and then the beating of my heart just went synchrone to the beats of them. If I got enough money together, I will buy me stuff for beat producing, just to have this feeling like they have when they head goes like for and back to the beat. Thank you for making music.

12:22 "Oh just something I was working on earlier" And he probaly stayed up ALL night making it, and intentionally played it in front of Ryan, because he knew it was good.

Im so in love! His music is a new light

This was truly amazing to witness! Great Job Ryan!

The Music Production Rocking.

Still a favorite of mine to watch 2 years after my last comment. The music/concept is just great. Ryan Leslie is definitely a visionary. Green light and Coke can are my slow favorites. Take them higher is a banger. What bothers me is the fact that real creative music is overlooked today.

Ryan Leslie was suppose to be the biggest rnb/hiphop artist right now. If you listen to most rappers from the early 2010s (especially guys like Drake) they even used his cadence and flow

i love the fact that u use live music & the way u deliver!!

14:52 That's that Sunday Church move right there, haha not mad at you brother.

great music motion picture!

Oh My God!!! The More I Learn about him and listen to his music the more he becomes my favorite artist of all time!!!

Very very tight and smooth way to capture the making of the moments in the moments! Along with the score being ones own spontaneous records. Great story and well produced short film.

Les you really need to release the "murder to my competition" track!!!

Yo Cardiak is slept on

Amazing !!!

fawk man, this documentary is SO DARK and compelling at the same time. And after finally watching the whole movie I am throughly impressed. This guy literally does not sleep, I need to step my game up! #RealTalk 

First of all this is FAR from a documentary. More like a long music video but either way, i like it... Thanks Les!!!

Yes thank you for sharing this Video. Beautiful Musician indeed. Mr Ryan Leslie. Now folks let us be reminded of the very forest 'Black Mozart' Joseph Bologna Me Chevalier Saint-Georges. Born of a enslaved woman and her White Slave master. 1745-1799 He was absolutely the 'GOAT' in Paris, France. Can hardly wait for the Movie this December 2022. Peace and Blessing to All.

Soooooo inspiring. The blend of the piano/strings and Cardiak is genius. One day... One day this will be me. Dreams

People really be on here hating huh? All this shit is dope …. Im just happy to be a fan .

(RYAN LESLIE) A True Grand Master Musician

I watch this over and over

Truly talented!!!

"When I look in my little girl's eyes" sample was dope.

that man Mr. Leslie, that's right I said Mr. Leslie is a well organized guy. this is the level of producing that I will reach under God's umbrella though.

Say ryan, you a real inspiration man. The last fews years have been really hard on me, so I took a big step away from making tracks. Watching this video got me ready to take over world. Thanks

This documentary really show a musician creating quality music and the passion for the music. I love Ryan Leslie music and respect the documentary.

this is a genius inovator...yu got to be blind not to recognize his talent.....he is the only complete artist in the game

I think if I word hard enough, my talent in music will outshine the trend..this guy is the truth

Still watching it i can't get enough! #Renegades

Back in 2022 feeling a bit depressed about doing anything in music and building wealth. Had to come back to the UKposts page that got me through the first decade of doing this. Still aiming to meet and work with ya Ryan! 🙏🏿💪🏿

i simply don't understand why da vid hasn't hit a billion views....huh?...wake up ppl!!!

INSPIRED

The Instrumental Part With No Words In The Beginning Is Pure Fire!

I am impressed today with the reality of what spectrum of talent can be overlooked. actually. Man speaks of passion and remains true to a idea of music that has a a soul. I like mostly the clean crisp sound I look for, this track has a better mastering job. The whole thing man,. its real. one humble individual. respect to family

damn...some amazing beats there...wooha..

@2:32 got my man Cardiak part of the team

Your are a musical genius and a legend!!! Stay blessed!!

still watching this for a high level of motivation!

wow... he should do more radio stops...@hot97 lead me to this awesome work.

Is there anything this guy can't do? I'm perplexed as to how I have never heard of him before.

Legend!!!

Amazinggg!!!!

This man is #genius

Still watching this in 2023

Ryan Leslie is incredible because he plays every instrument, makes his own beats, and writes his own shit. He's def a well rounded musician and there's nothing musically he can't do. R. LES is the GOD, the BLACK MOZART of music. Not to mention he cares about he's fans....ALOT!

amazing music

Cardiak is the best

Man, the album is great, but it would have been nice to have it in 320kbps mp3 or even better, FLAC.

I can't wait to hear the whole Black Mozart album. Ryan Leslie is such a beast.

Ryan Leslie is good at what he does, one of the best music producer's.

whats the song called in 3:10 ?

That History beat huh, it's a shame the final mastered version sounded a lot less full in the bridge. In this vid you hear like a full brass ensemble and in the final version you hear only some high trumpets or w/e

amazing!

ryan i cant ... i just cant find the right words to describe your crazy dope music man never heard better music than this your perfomance in oberhausen was dope too hope to see you again and cant wait for the album peace bro

Honestly, I love Ryan Leslie and his music.. he is really an underrated artist.. but I cnt take this man seriously with the rapping. Im soo use to him singing,.playing those keys and creating sick music.. 2nd..all these EXTRA.head bopping is makin my neck hurt, foo doing too much. 3rd,.this.motion video interesting but too much again coming from Ryan. Thats not his style, & it just seems like he gta put on to be like these other rappers.. 4th.. i love these beats.. they're SICK!!!!

Please put jay z on one of his beats

Thoroughly enjoyed this!

cool video brodie ! will be looking into your music more now !

No question he's dope but he doesnt have the it as a rapper. But now I know who Drake reminds me of.
