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 would like to get a shirt with that Static pic you have on your phone, Slam. But, outside of blasting his music almost constantly and telling people about him, nothing. Now, I feel bad, Slam. Thanks. lol

ReplyDeleteI drew a small pic of him in art at school as part of a mood board, (and people started asking me who he was). And I send some of his songs to people and i tell them to check out this site, cos this site is doing alot in keeping him memory alive. also hes my background on my youtube page, and I got a youtube page dedicated to him called StaticMajor502.

ReplyDeleteI use a lot of quotes in his songs...even if he wasn't the 'originator' of the quote, if i hadn't heard it until he said it, then i give him the credit..for example i'll be like 'like my ng static said, u can't have no honey, if u ain't got no bees'...
