Vide : The Making of Jay Z - Hard Knock Life

The story that’s often told about the beat is that Jay overheard Kid Capri play it and immediately wanted it for his album. But here, Jay-Z sits down with an unidentified foreign documentary to tell the story of the song’s producer, The 45 King, who also has DJ Kool’s “Let Me Clear My Throat” and Eminem’s “Stan” to his credit. Kid Capri makes a cameo too.

UPDATE: It’s from a documentary on SVT (Swedish television) that chronicles hit songs, this segment focusing on Jay-Z’s “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem.)” Watch the full thing here or after the jump. Thanks to Will.
