You know that would take the average person like six months to do it, because what people do is, they don't do work. So many people do good in crunch time, so why not do everything on crunch time? So, when we were in Hawaii I would go to the studio every day and be like, We're gonna finish the f***ing album today. It would be like there are some songs that aren't even done yet, mad s*** that need to be filled in, and I be like, Let's attack this like we're gonna finish the album today. Because people are always like, I got time; the label had my release date in February. But why? I'm like, No, push my release date up to the closest possible thing, and if you tell me we have to have this s*** mastered by next week, I will get it done. Cause I have to get it done, and it is what it is. How long am I gonna sit on something? There's a completely different ideal behind it.
Ofcourse with him gaining more leverage over the label and then ultimately getting out of the label has lead to current conditions but it's ultimately always been his mentality.
Probably my favorite interview of his in general
Nice bro I never seen this interview. I wish there was more nuance to Ye's approach, albums like Graduation and Dark Fantasy take years of work, while 808s and Yeezus were masterpieces that came together within a few weeks. He threw his perfectionist hat away a long time ago and never looked back

vs.

He'll be recording that August 22nd

"I've never really been that talented at anything except for working at something to the point where it was good" that's a bar
I've lost all interest in any Ye project moving forward & feel s***ty about it.

@Camille powerful words
I had a brief moment of excitement last night and it’s because I briefly experienced joy that he did this
