CL EXCLUSIVE: IN THE STUDIO WITH KANYE WEST + THE FULL VERSION OF HEARTLESS

Thursday, October 16, 2008

KANYE IN THE STUDIO

KANYE WEST - HEARTLESS (unmastered)

I had a chance to kick it in the studio with Kanye West on Wednesday in California. He was putting the final touches on his latest album 808s & Heartbreak and allowed me to sit in for a couple of hours and observe. The vibe was really laid back and Kanye was playing his Super Nintendo (Super Mario World) and munching on Cap’n Crunch for the first half.

Don’t get it twisted though, the hard work came for sure when Kanye, Plain Pat, No ID and crew were finalizing the drums and sounds of the whole album and since I hit up his listening party/event on Tuesday night, he asked me what my favorite songs were. I’m definitely feeling the new track “Robocop” and told him that needed to be the next single.

Make sure you peep the exclusive photos I took and take a listen to the full version of ‘Heartless’ (*NSFW*) that he released exclusively on his blog yesterday.

@ jazz I hope what you are sayign to because I have been a follower since the mix tapes on the old site and now with the autotune, I just (shrugs shoulders)

love the lyrics,but taht soudn kills me - can’t do it

How come a Beyonce post can get 1200 comments and this one about Kanye only gets 84!!!! hahahaha….I guess Kanye ain’t got the swagger of Sasha Fierce. I am more likely to buy Kanye’s album than Beyonce’s album if they are both released the same week (Lord know i ain’t buying both because of this recession).

I also think Beyonce will whip Kanye in sales…..but I think Kanye will have a more solid album!! Looking forward to it!!

Thats a REALLY good look Angel! I like the Heartless song…but its still missing something (makes sense its still unmastered). But ‘Love Lockdown’ is still my SHYT!!

Stay away from voodoo queens who pretend to love you boy and chase you down. stay close to your american girls. Ashanti, Ciari, michelle williams, sanaa latham, and a host of beautiful decent nice american girls who will love you for you, are there for the asking.

…i’m happy someone else can see the type of self-hate that black people are dealing with. Nappy hair? It’s kinda depressing that people can say these things without thinking twice about it. It’s embedded in their DNA now. That’s why a girl is very likely to call you ‘afro-centric’ if you tell her that you like girls with their natural hair.

Kanye is a genius. I know a few guys in London rocking that haircut, but you know how we do in the UK; we’re like a fashion magazine for the world now.
