What is jay z forever young sample?

"Forever Young" is a song by American rapper Jay-Z from his eleventh studio album, "The Blueprint 3" (2009). The song features soul singer Mr. Hudson and an interpolation of the chorus and lyrics of the Alphaville song "Forever Young."

The sample used in the song was produced by Kanye West and No I.D. for producer Tony Williams' album, "Dreaming of Me" (2008). West and No I.D. created the sample by chopping up Alphaville's "Forever Young" and adding their own instrumentation and production.

The song's lyrics express Jay-Z's desire to live life to the fullest, but also his fear of aging and losing his youthfulness. "Forever Young" was well received by critics and became a commercial success, reaching the top 10 in several countries, including the US, UK, and Canada.

The song has since become a cultural touchstone, with its lyrics often being used in graduation speeches and other celebratory events. It has also been covered by various artists and remains a fan favorite in Jay-Z's discography.
