The Beat Behind the Classic The "Renegade" instrumental is legendary not just for its sound, but for its legacy. Produced by Eminem (with co-production by Luis Resto), the beat originally appeared on Eminem’s Devil’s Night (2001) as a track featuring Royce da 5'9". Jay-Z loved it so much he asked to use it for The Blueprint (2001), re-recording his verses over the same eerie, minimalist loop.
