“If he couldn’t convince JAY-Z that he can really rap, Rocafella might not ever take him seriously as an artist.” “The Bounce” studio session from Blueprint 2. The first time Kanye appeared on Rocafella as a rapper. Hov & Guru gave him some tips on how to flow with... the beat.show more

The reality they love to erase from history

IDC what they say about Kanye, I'll be a fan of his forever, he's come up should be studied. Nobody did it like he did it

Dame always tried to make it like kay never wanted him to rap. But it was always Dame laughing saying no. Once he got to jay and asked everything became a GO. Im happy thry switched the beatout

I’m so glad they found a better beat

Then Timbaland came and said, "Yeah, that's cute, but... Watch this!"

The first time I heard Kanye rap was on a Jay record. So all that commentary from Dame about Jay not supporting Kanye was always Air. Jay also featured in college drop out and dropped one of the illest verses ever.

I thought Jay never messed w ye as a rapper? This was late 2001/2002 I’m assuming. Just like w Roc Boy Bron……narratives being demolished with every video, interview & podcast.

Jay was right. He can't rap

One of my fav songs 🔥

one of my favorite scenes from ye’s doc such an inspiration every time i watch i really wish hov used dat beat for “the bounce” one of my favorite ye verses it would be cool if coodie would director a jayz doc👀

I know on the album it was over a Timbaland beat 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I literally remember this verse and I’m almost certain he wasn’t mentioned as feature on this song. But years later i remembered his voice and played it for friends like this was Ye! Wild!

I had to convince Em that he could rap. He really tried to tell me, "nah, that's you & Jay'Z thing." I had to tell him I need him to step up & champion my words for me, "I ain't askin." -👑B🐰

Too bad these niggas will never make music again

Was a great song and beat, too bad Kanye's verse was terrible

They really was together a lot back then 🤗 Funny how everything went sideways

Jay giving that dap and adlibing his verse had to be crazy fuel for his confidence as a rappers

To be down you must appeal!!!!!

Kanye is the definition of self-belief

And Jay-Z does songs in ONE take??? With NO PAPER??? Seriously????? Kanye~GOAT Jay~GOAT!!!!

This whole scene so hard

@grok send me the link to the full documentary.

What’s this footage from

Ye cooked. This my shit🔥🔥

Shit give me chills bumps. Imagine the feeling running through his veins in that moment and we get to see it

Bruh that’s the most annoying beat I’ve ever heard glad they went with something else

Crazy how a skeleton beat changes by the time an album is mastered

Awwww Ye was so young🥺

Glad they changed the beat up on that jawn. This beat was kinda azz

What doc is this 🤔
