Kanye On Making “Live Fast, Die Young

Kanye continues his conversation with MTV and explains how he came up with the backdrop for Rick Ross’ “Live Fast, Die Young” off Teflon Don.
“I listened to CDs for three days to find the ‘Live Fast Die Young’ sample, which was ‘If This World Were Mine’ flipped by the Bar-Kays. And I loved the sample so much that I played it for two days. Just over and over and over, and I thought about it and said, ‘Claps. I want handclaps to go with this sample. That’s what I need to juxtapose it and not make it just some takeoff of a ’94 hip-hop song, but to make it a 2010, 2011, 2012 futuristic version of itself.’ And I started the claps and put the ‘hey, hey, hey’ and the drums, and I just programmed it. It’s kind of important for people to realize I’m a producer also.”

Eminem & Rihanna Reunite On LOUD

Eminem and Rihanna have recorded the sequel to “Love The Way You Lie” for the singers upcoming album, Loud. MTV got a chance to hear the track and here’s what they had to say:
When the chorus kicks in, the hook from the original track is bigger and more cinematic than ever before, but it’s Em’s seething anger when he delivers his verse that will have fans going bananas. He raps about the pain she causes him just as much as he causes her, spitting rhymes about trading punches with his lady love.
