From Fader Fort at SXSW. Midway through the interview he speaks on his most memorable studio moment with Jay-Z, where he recalls Hov quickly laying down and recording his verses for “Heart Of The City”. He says that before Jay stepped into the booth, there was a video playing on the television in which he did with his friend-turned-foe R. Kelly (either of these), and he made a comment on it. By the time he completed his three verses, the visual was still playing. Crazy. He also talks on meeting Jay for the first time, his preparation and approach in the studio, and more importantly, Ye and Hova’s Watch The Throne (transcribed quote below), and Jay’s next [crazy] concept project:
“Watch The Throne is almost done. This is what it is with Ye. Ye’s records grow. Like if you listen to a Kanye record when it first starts in one form, and he adds stuff…takes away stuff, plays it for a bunch of people, listens to it, he’s a real perfectionist. That’s what he does, he grows his records. So that’s where we’re in…the process of just finalizing the rest of the album. But it’s really in Kanye’s hands.”
