UNE VERSION ALTERNATIVE DE MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY

C’est Rory Farrell, interne chez Def Jam à l’époque de la création de My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy de Kanye West, qui nous dévoile une histoire complètement différente sur ce qu’aurait pu être ce classique, initialement intitulé Donda’s Boy.
La version originale, présentée par Kanye West et qu’il a eu la chance d’écouter en s’incrustant dans une réunion avec le rappeur et d’autres personnalités haut placées, était constituée de 10 morceaux de 10 minutes excepté Runaway qui durait 20 minutes !
Cette version inédite n’avait aucun featuring, du 100% Kanye qui se chargeait des parties rappées et chantées et apparemment c’était incroyable !

Voici le podcast et le récit complet de cette version alternative d’un des plus gros classiques de ces dernières années :

« I was in meetings that interns were not supposed to be in, months ahead of the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. No one had seen him, he shows up out of nowhere at the Def Jam offices like Lupe and Nas trying to get their albums out, in a full suit. He has, I want to say it was Don C’s son but don’t quote me, a child dressed identical to him, carrying his Louis Vuitton bag. Comes in and is throwing a fit at how shitty everyone is dressed. So he says, ‘I’m not doing business today until everyone is in a suit.’
Ahead of West’s return the following day, everyone in the office was scrambling to find black suits. When West arrived, the aforementioned child opened up the Louis bag, tossed a blanket over the conference table, and poured West « either white wine or water » into a medieval wine glass. « Kanye says, ‘I’m parched, we can begin now,' »

« West then played the office My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which was then entitled Donda’s Boy. The idea was that it was going to be 10 tracks, and each track was going to be 10 minutes, ‘Runaway’ was 20 minutes long. Pusha wasn’t on it. Kanye was singing for 15 minutes of it at the end. » The bonus track, See Me Now, had no Beyoncé on the hook at the time. Eventual single « All of the Lights » was also featureless. « My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy but it was just Kanye West, and it was amazing. »
