Next up, letter F: “Fallin’” #JayZ30#JayZ
Jermaine Dupri: “I went to the studio, and he [Jay-Z] played me a part of the movie [‘American Gangster’] that he felt like he didn’t have a song for yet ... the inevitable part of every drug dealer’s life is ... either they die, or they go to jail ... the fall happens ... Jay had all these songs, but he didn’t have that aspect of that movie. So, I start visualizing a song called ‘Fallin’ ... if I give Jay-Z a concept, it’s gon’ go ‘cause that’s what happened with ‘Money Ain't a Thang’ ... as soon as I sent it, that nigga was in the booth.”
