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 love this so much!!
ReplyDeleteWe had an absolute ball that night. It was crazy. Much love to Playa. We have so much more footage to share with you in the near future. Good shit Jerome... I loved when you were there because I then could just concentrate on kicking it and not worrying about that damn camcorder. Lol.... Much love homie...
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for that day, the day i could see Playa performing my all time favorite song "Never Too Late", i heard one time Smoke saying that Static on stage had this naturally swagg, he was damn right!
