On finding his voice again
Big Boy saidYEfeels a lot more personal.
It feels like a moment a time that you put into a capsule, Kanye explained.
Because I started off with my voice.
Is this person going to be happy?
Are these songs I want to play back?
Does this song make me cry?
Does this song take me somewhere?
Certainly not Kayne, who mentions the tabloid news website in Yikes.
I completely redid the album after TMZ.
We just sat there and really honed in on the words.
Also, we know now, its all headlines.
Every bar can be used … Its even bars that we had about that.
I took a bar off the album.
It was just too sensitive about that topic and stuff.
I was like,Yo, Im just going to chill right now.
