No ID discusses the making of Jay Z’s "D.O.A." including the debate leading up to the concept, song structure, emotion, and drum programming.
Notable Quote:
"I wanted to get as close to authentic 90’s style hip-hop without being limited with 90’s style programming of drums. It took a lot of effort. I didn’t just loop that record up."

The track is good, but I still like the original sample more.
I LOVE IT ! DOA IS THE HARDEST TRACK JAY Z PUT OUT SINCE THE TAKEOVER .EITHER WAY ‘ NO MATTER IF YOU LOVE AUTO TUNES SO MUCH THAT HEARING THE SONG MAKES YOU CRINGE.WHICH I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS.YOU HAFTO ADMIT ITS A GREAT RECORD ! I DON’T LIKE AUTO TUNES ANYWAY.I LIKE ALOT OF T-PAINS MUSIC.HE PUTS OUT GOOD MUSIC WITH IT ‘ BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN DO IT ‘ LIKE THE KID RON BROWZ.T PAIN HAS A LITTLE SECRET TO AUTOTUNES THAT NOBODY EALSE KNOWS IT SEEMS.SHOUT OUT TO RON BROWZ ! ‘HE STILL HAS ILL BEATS.I AIN’T DISSN NOBODY JUST MY 2 CENTS ON THE TOPIC.
Since Takeover. Hell No
To me Takeover isnt even 1 of the best songs on BP 1.
D.O.A. is the best song since No Hook i would say.
yea its tight, should of mixed more bass into it dou…
It’s soooo ironic that Kanye came up with the idea that Jay-Z should attack everything considered “not Hip-Hop” being that 808s & Heartbreaks was essentially a non-traditional Hip-Hop album done by a Hip-Hop artist. Then he tell Jay-Z he’s going “too far?” Haha! This discussion of what is and ain’t Hip-Hop needs to be fleshed out. It would make for very interesting debate.
Here is the definition of Hip Hop.MONEY.Whatever you can rap ‘sing’ yell ‘dance’ and gimmic to sell records.Don’t ask if its what I think.Im just stating the facts.If you don’t agree then why is it that there is alot of real Hip Hop out there but they play the same rotation on the radio everyday all day then ?
And yet most of the work was done by this man. The track is set up nice but NOID really should not so stuck on himself for play the track damn near as is. he sort of chopped it but I still feel lied to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcUt5UcZoeg
