Paul McCartney compared Kanye West‘s writing style to that of his songwriting partner in The Beatles, John Lennon, in an article published to Mirror today (May 1).
“When I wrote with John, he would sit down with a guitar,” McCartney told Mirror. “I would sit down. We’d ping-pong till we had a song. It was like that.”
Paul McCartney and Kanye West told a number of stories until something hit. “We sat around and talked an awful lot just to break the ice,” McCartney said. “One of the stories I told him was about how I happened to have written ‘Let It Be’…
“I told Kanye this and he said, ‘I’m going to write a song with my mum.’ So then I sat down at the piano.”
McCartney was initially hesitant to work with the “controversial” star. “He is amazingly talented but controversial and can make eccentric moves,” he says. “I realized if it didn’t work out, we’d just say so and shake hands and leave.”
The two released their inaugural cut, “Only One,” on New Year’s Eve last year. The visuals subsequently came out January 29.
They brought Rihanna in for their second collab, “FourFiveSeconds.”

let it be is my favorite beatle song..
only one was a dope song
the other one tho with rihianna..paul should of put his foot down on that one..cool song but not for a beatle
“Dont Let Me Down” is my shit
both songs are corny and terrible
Let it be is a good song, the other one is kinda corny though. You must have limited taste that just includes urban music
naw i actually like a lot of music from the beatles catalog but just not let it be.
I agree, Rihanna can’t sing! she be yelling instead of singing and it hurts my ears every time. But when you play BS all day a 1000x times it will eventually start likin it. It’s like programming
im only interested in beatles songs the brother Jackson owns because we support our own
only one was nostagic to me but it wasnt well executed,the rihanna collab was aight i like the minimalistic approach on this one show me a dude who hasnt spazzed before i’ll show u a hypocrite
