4. “Good Days, Good Nights” Chris Faust f. Capri and Carras Paton

8. “Fucked Up” Kris Kasanova f. Ibe
9. “Get Down” Marcus Harmon

10. “Looking Back” Chris Faust f. Outasight
15 minutes. That’s about how much time I had to make this track. Chris, Sunny Jones and I were working on ExtraOrdinary for “Faust” when Chris said Outasight was in the neighborhood and down to do a joint. He came through, knocked out the hook and verse promptly, and Chris wanted to take it home and work on it. I was like “Fam, I didn’t just get extra pressured to make a track in 15…” and Outasight was like “I didn’t just write AND record a chorus and verse on the spot…” (all in good fun of course). Chris did his thing, wrote a verse and recorded it. Capri came to the spot as we were finishing up the song. She heard some harmonies and put ‘em down. After that we cracked jokes, listened to some tunes Outasight had ready for “Further” and talked about the Knicks for a few.

I'm proud of the man. But hopefully he cuts the Detox flow and finally finishes and puts out his fricken debut album. Can I get an Amen from anyone else? Sheesh

Sneaker Circle with Kanye, Curt@!n$, Pusha T, Ibn, and Cudi

Straight from Kanye, straight from the Kinda Like a Big Deal video shoot in NY. Kanye shows off all of his sneaker models to Curt@!n$, Pusha T, Ibn Jasper, Kid Cudi, and a few others...

Curt@!n$ shows that he's still wet behind the ears, Ibn gets his snob on, Pusha gets tight that he doesn't own a pair of Yeezy's, and Ye says that he's bought more of his own shoes that anyone else!

I'm having a hard time deciding if I'd rather be in the hallway for that discussion or have all of those shoes shown. Hmmmm
