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...
Now thats what im talkin about TSM doin the damn thang , I luv wakin up and hearin the MAJOR music, Makes my day that much betta............4life bwoiiii
ReplyDeleteits kinda interesting how smooth Static sang on this one, didn't expect that from hearing the album version
ReplyDeleteJames Moore, I was talking to Buddha about it, I don't think we ever really heard Static this "soft" on vocals. I mean, it's almost like he half assed it but then again it's just the demo. Maybe we are so spoiled that all of his demos usually play out better than the actual song. In fact, we didn't even know that was Static at first, took us awhile to confirm it.
ReplyDeleteWhat up Doe This ty from tha D... This rite here is smooth as hell. I rather here the demos now that static's gone 2 see how he song the songs he wrote for other artist. Keep em comin, Do u guys have any Ginuwine or Aaliyah demos
ReplyDeletewell I wouldnt say its half assed, I actually like it, its just interesting to hear that a lot of the flair to it was added by Pleasure after the fact, as opposed to something like Illusion where Static's version was already tricked out
ReplyDeleteAfter I GOT MY got all jacked up, im pleasured out.......4life. foreva da Ky representa STATIC/MAJOR
ReplyDeletethem harmonies at the end,wow....smh...i know pleasure is still sick wit it that he won't get that type of vocal arrangement assistance again.
