Anyone who understands Kanye West’s work ethic knows he’s a perfectionist in the studio. Kanye’s masterful approach didn’t blossom overnight though. G.O.O.D. Music Swiss Army knife CyHi The Prynce shared a tale about Yeezy on the No Jumper podcast regarding how he honed his craft as a producer by recreating every Hip Hop album’s beat that was released in the ’90s.
“Even when he’s doing beats, he’s going through every sample,” he explained. “I heard every album that came out from ’91 to like ’99, he redid every beat on every Hip Hop album ever. He would get the whole Nas album and do Nas album one through 16 — every beat to a T.”
He continued, “Everybody who came out before him, he redid their album just to teach himself how to make beats. If he gon’ be that studious with beats, he’s going to be that way with everything. And that’s how I learned you really make sure you win, you have every option on the table.”
CyHi went on to clear up the confusion surrounding the viral clip of Chance The Rapper and Kanye going at it in a heated argument in Wyoming. CyHi explained the moment was blown out of proportion and was not as egregious as it seemed. He chalked it up to how sometimes brothers fight.
CyHi The Prynce Dodges Death During Alleged Assassination Attempt In Atlanta
The No Dope on Sundays rapper nearly lost his life during a failed assassination attempt in Atlanta last month. He recalls reaching speeds of 130 miles per hour while in the high-speed chase as his assailants fired several shots at his vehicle. Luckily for CyHi, he escaped the encounter with minor injuries after crashing his car into a pole and tree.
Watch the interview starting around the 37-minute mark below.
No way
Cyhi’s “assassination” attempt comes off as a lie. Him saying ” ’91 to like ’99, he redid every beat on every Hip Hop album ever. He would get the whole Nas album and do Nas album one through 16 — every beat to a T.” does not sound believable at all. No one in the world has time to do that. Cyhi is starting to seem un-credible. Good luck Cyhi.
? how do you know what type a time a self made multi millionaire has? Buddy has always moved to the beat of his own drum. It can be exaggerated without it being a lie.
All cap.
Impossible and obviously exaggerating.. I love Cy-Hi but he needs to get off Kanye nuts already
All the hatas stand on dat side, dat side, dat side
If he really did that, he must be the worst pruder ever with all that shit beats! Fuckin Idiot!
Fam has made some of the best music in our lifetime, you sound young and uninformed. Dre, Swizz, Tim, Dilla, Premo, Neptunes, Metro, 808 Mafia, Just Blaze etc has all made “shit music” at one point in time. Has all dropped many duds in their time, but it doesn’t take away from them being legendary. Ye is a legend bruh! New Ye is off his rocker but it doesn’t take away from old Ye who created a sound and style that your favorite producer look to emulate.
He’s overrated as fuck, bro wtf are you talking about? Sure he’s a legendary producer I don’t disagree with that.. but he’s like a 5 out of 10 lyrically… Far from a legendary lyricist. Same with Travis Scott… Overrated as FUCK lmfao
This is major cap. ALL hip hop albums from 91 to 99? Every beat to a T? Do you know how many hip hop albums, underground and mainstream, were released in the 90s? Way too many to count. This is why I hate the people that hang around Kanye and his fans, they make him much bigger than he is.
Nahhh Fam he probably didn’t mean every album
Don’t take it literally but he probably meant the major albums.. he mentioned Nas .. that should give you a picture
When you go on a humph podcast you say fukkry
