Timbaland absolutely murdered this beat and every time I’ve played it’s gotten “Wait, what is this?” response… The 20/20 Experience was grown up, but it was rarely grown and sexy–“Tunnel Vision” achieved both

“Maybe find a place to think of things when we’re old enough.” It was dope to talk to Ellis about his writing process for this song and how it was inspired by a long term relationship that got too serious, too quickly after he graduated from college.

All of sudden you can see the rest of your life play out before you: “thinking of names” for your children and watching their tee ball games…

Most of the songs on my list are about resignation and getting older because I am delightful and full of wonder.

Wisdom’s a gift, but you’d trade it for youth
Age is an honor – it’s still not the truth

“What you on about?” is pretty swoon worthy imo

The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I’m stronger now, I’m ready for the house

My favorite sad song of the year. Talking about how growing old and becoming successful can sometimes be drag is a tough thing to pull off, but Abel does it

As for me, I’ve been getting grown
As for me, I’ve been getting old
As for me, I’ve been flying around the world
I’ve been killing these shows
But I’m always getting high
Cause my confidence low

Jay compared himself to young Deniro, but he caught beef with an old Deniro over the Tribeca Film Festival. Apparently, Jay was supposed to make song for the Fest and forgot…Bobby was not happy.

Hear him talked about it at the 6:14 mark

Look how much fun they’re having!

In the background–out of focus–you can see Chris Rock, wearing a black sweater. To the left of Jay-Z is Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia. That’s Jay Z seated between two New York Yankees, making a Yankee cap more famous than a Yankee can
