Beyoncé Was Asked To Approve Every Song On JAY-Z's '4:44' Album Before It Dropped

So it turns out that Beyoncé isn't only a top notch entertainer, she's a darn good A&R person too.

According to No I.D., who produced JAY-Z's 4:44 album, Bey was heavily involved in the recording process, even though JAY talks about cheating on her in certain songs.

"I always call Bey our de facto A&R," said No I.D. during a Q&A with The New York Times. "Pillow talk is the strongest conversation on the planet. Every song has to get past her ears, in my eyes ... She came by a lot and played a good part in helping us get over hurdles on certain records. Of course, she's genius-level with that."
