As is often the unfortunate case, an unknown party or parties got a hold of Kanye West’s vocal track and added their own soundbed to it, effectively and falsely releasing it as a Kanye West track from the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions. “The version of the Kanye West recording ‘Mama’s Boy’ that arrived on blog sites earlier this week is entirely bogus and unsanctioned, and violates the artist’s creative intentions. A rep for Kanye said this in a statement:
They include “ See Me Now“, “ Lost in the World“, and “ Chain Heavy.” There has been one rap, however, that never made it to CDQ format and that was the tentatively titled “ Mama’s Boyfriend.”Įarlier this week that personal and emotional track finally leaked out, and more recently ‘Ye popped his head out of the studio to let his fans know that the leak was unintentional. The verses performed there would eventually find their way into the finalized versions of many tracks from the rapper’s latest album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and his G.O.O.D. No New Friends is right.About a year ago Kanye West crashed Facebook headquarters, stood atop a table inside a fluorescently lit conference room, and performed a capella a bunch of new material. High energy but not quite celebratory, this is not the tears in your beer Drake that makes you sad-text your whole messenger list when you’re out at 3am. As much as this sounds recognizably like Thank Me Later/Sprite-era Drizzy - complete with youthful confidence and silly boasting (“I’m here feeling like 50 back in ‘02” / “Half a million dollars later and my taxes paid, and I’m still spending money from my acting days”) - the track is possibly more noticeable as a refresher on pre- Twisted Fantasy Ye’s headspace: a full “thwappppp” snare fused to an insanely arpeggiated synth that is less club than Rainbow Road, “You Know, You Know” hits that specific sweet spot of baroque minimalism which was each artist’s signature before the decade changed over (and before they both solidified their unique paths of creative megalomania).
Everything old is new, everything new is old, etc etc, see: this all-of-a-sudden post of the Six God’s 2009 Kanye-helmed “You Know, You Know” (in ‘CD quality,’ a phrase that feels almost exactly as retro as reflecting on 2009).
