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...
I'm gonna go with "Luv 2 Luv Ya." Really for me, I only like Static's part on "Lollipop." And I guess I really only like Playa's part on "Luv 2 Luv Ya," but their part is so smooth.
ReplyDeleteluv 2 Luv Ya...this track is classic. Lollipop is str8 but Wanye messed it up for me.

ReplyDeleteluv 2 luv ya. slam said it best. ......SPINNER
ReplyDeletegotta go with the classic, Luv 2 Luv Ya, that whole time period where the whole camp was really surfacing was probably one of my favorite times in music, both the original & the remix are crazy, and its funny this came up today, because I was just watching that Family Guy episode where Peter was going crazy over the bird bird bird record that Magoo quoted lol
ReplyDeletelollipop..howd wayne mess it up? #1 on almost all charts lol
ReplyDeleteI just noticed Slam posted the original version of Luv 2 Luv Ya. I prefer the remix but I'll stand by my vote.
ReplyDeleteLollipop...#1 chart spot, made covers and remakes of the joint...Static set it off
ReplyDeleteto Yung Major
ReplyDeleteLollipop is a tight song, better yet a beast, but Static didn't need lil wayne to make that song a hit. Wayne really didn't give props to Static for putting him in the superstar status with Lollipop.
@anonymous actually wayne always thanked static for that, not like he begged static for it anyway..they asked wayne whyd he cross-over to superstardom, he said he dint that static just gave him that
ReplyDeleteLuv 2 Luv Ya, no doubt.
