I've posted some information on the blog exclusive joint "Crazy" by Aura already, but I figured it would make more sense if we heard it straight from her, because she was actually there. So here is the very talented Aura talking about the history of the track: I was signed to Atlantic at the time. Gee Roberson was my A&R and he manages Kanye. Kanye came to the studio and had forgotten his records, but I'm an avid Joni Mitchell fan and had some of her records there. It was like magic watching Kanye work. He crafted that beat like it was a priceless sculpture. When it started to come together Gee, who managed Static at that time too said "What do you think about Static co-writing with you?" Well, I was ecstatic, pun fully intended. Within an hour or so, Static came over. I was fully aware and familiar with his work with Playa, Aaliyah, Genuine and he had also written my girl Truth Hurts super sick single "Addicted", so I was excited. He came in...
This is a Good post...Tank killed this trax. The lyrics/arrangements/vocals were hot. I would love to hear Static's version as well...lol
ReplyDeletethanks for posting, it's a great song. I like 'so many times' even better though, THAT's a song I'd die to hear Static's version of!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry my friends, those were in the infamous lost bag!!!! Lol. I do have exclusive footage of us with Tank in the lab that I will be sharing later!!!! I get sick everytime I think about that day!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with LCSS, Tank murdered this song. Amazin'song period.
ReplyDeleteThankz Tim cant wait to check it out!
This is one of Tanks best records. I didn't know Static wrote this either. Man had his hands all over the place. Tanks a monster as well with his production and writing as well.
ReplyDeleteDid the two of them do any other music together, either heard or unheard?
Bravery
