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...
Watching ths video made me think of an aunt who passed away a few years ago. The first year after a few of us met there and brought flowers and some other things to place at her grave. One of her brothers brought roses. Well, one of my cousins, her grandson took the roses. Nigga told me he had a date that night and the flowers were going to waste there. I started to laugh. Some people weren't as amused as I was. Some were cying, I never do. The ones who hadn't let go didn't see the humour and couldn't understand what he was trying to do.
ReplyDeleteI guess what i'm trying to say is that it makes me glad to see his family and friends smiling.
Bravery
