Regrets by JAY-Z MP3 Info
The closing track of Jay-Z’s classic debut album Reasonable Doubt, “Regrets” is a vulnerable meditation on the moral compromises a Gangster has to make in order to survive. The laid back track contains a sample from the Hubert Laws and Earl Klugh collaboration “It’s So Easy Loving You,” and producer Peter Panic talked about the song in an interview with Spin magazine: I did the track and Jay came over the next morning to see Clark. I just played the track for him and said, “Yo, this is some new stuff I did last night. It sounds crazy. I just love the bass.” […] I wasn’t even planning the beat for him. This was just something I created. Jay left and didn’t say nothing. The next morning, Clark’s like, “Yo, Jay wants to use that track." Hov himself, in his 2010 memoir Decoded, explained his specific goal behind the making of this emotionally articulate track, showing just how aware he is of the themes that haunt his humanity: This is the last song on my first album, Reasonable Doubt. The album as a whole was like a conversation I was having with the listener about real feelings and emotions. The album went from the highs of the hustler’s life in songs like “Feelin' It” to the paranoid depths of “D’Evils.” I wanted to end it with regret, that last feeling you have before you go to sleep, or feel when you wake up and look at yourself in the bathroom mirror.
