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 used to like this but now the orginal is just too cool
ReplyDeletei find they both have theyre own vibe
ReplyDeleteLove the beat, but those Pretty Ricky verses are unnecessary. "Ride Till The Wheels Fall Off" will always be a classic.
ReplyDeleteThis is the song that put me onto Static. It was the hook and the beat. I prefer this beat slightly more than the original but both versions will always be on replay! Static had a way with hooks and harmonies, always amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove the original way more.
ReplyDeleteAlways have, always will.
