[Intro: Jay-Z (Kanye)]

[laughing]
Yo fuck you, Kanye, first and foremost For making
me do this shit. Muh'fucker Had to throw everybody
out the motherfucking room 'Cause they don't fucking..

(I'd like to propose a toast)
(I said toast motherfucker)

[Chorus: Kanye]
And I am And they ask me, they ask me, they ask
me, I tell them Raise your glasses, your glasses,
your glasses to the sky This is the last call for
alcohol, for the.. So get your ass up off the wall

[Verse 1]
The all around the world Digital Underground, Pac
The Rudloph the red nosed reindeer of the Roc I
take my chain, my 15 seconds of fame And come back
next year with the whole fucking game Ain't nobody
expect Kanye to end up on top They expected that
College Dropout to drop and then flop Then maybe
he stop savin' all the good beats for himself
Rocafella's only niggaz that help My money was
thinner than Sean Paul's goatee hair Now Jean Paul
Gaultier cologne fill the air, here They say he
bourgie, he big-headed Won't you please stop
talking about how my dick head is Flow infectious,
give me 10 seconds I'll have a buzz bigger than
insects in Texas It's funny how wasn't nobody
interested 'Til the night I almost killed myself in Lexus

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Now was Kanye the most overlooked? Yes sir Now is
Kanye the most overbooked? Yes sir Though the fans
want the feeling of A Tribe Called Quest But all
they got left is this guy called West Better take
Freeway, throw him on tracks with Mos Def Call him
Kwa-lI or Kwe-li, I put him on songs with Jay-Z
I'm the Gap like Banana Republic and Old Navy, and
oooh It come out sweeter than old Sadie Nice as
Bun-B when I met him at the Source awards Girl he
had with him - ass coulda won the horse awards And
I was almost famous, now everybody love Kanye I'm
almost Raymond Some say he arrogant. Can y'all
blame him? It was straight embarrassing how y'all
played him Last year shoppin my demo, I was tryin'
to shine Every motherfucker told me that I
couldn't rhyme Now I could let these dream killers
kill my self-esteem Or use my arrogance as the
steam to power my dreams I use it as my gas, so
they say that I'm gassed But without it I'd be
last, so I ought to laugh So I don't listen to the
suits behind the desk no more You niggaz wear
suits 'cause you can't dress no more You can't say
shit to Kanye West no more I rocked 20,000 people,
I was just on tour, nigga I'm Kan, the Louis
Vuitton Don Bought my mom a purse, now she Louis
Vuitton Mom I ain't play the hand I was dealt, I
changed my cards I prayed to the skies and I
changed my stars I went to the malls and I balled
too hard 'Oh my god, is that a black card?' I
turned around and replied, 'why yes but I prefer
the term African American Express' Brains, power,
and muscle, like Dame, Puffy, and Russell Your boy
back on his hustle, you know what I've been up to
Killin y'all niggaz on that lyrical shit
Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push Miracle Whips

[Chorus]
"... last call for alcohol, for my niggaz"

[Outro]
So this A&R over at Rocafella, named Hiphop picked
the Truth beat for Beanie. And I was in the
session with him I had my demo with me. You know,
like I always do I play the songs,
he's like "Who that spittin?"
I'm like "It's me."
He's like "Oh, well okay."
Uhh, he started talkin to me on the
phone going back and forth, just askin me to send
him beats And I'm thinking he's trying to get into
managing producers cause he had this other kid
named Just Blaze he was messin with And um, he was
friends with my mentor, No ID And No ID told him,
"look man, you wanna mess with Kanye you need to
tell him that you like the way he rap"

[No ID:]
"Yo, you wanna sign him, tell him you like how he rap"
I was all, I dunno if he was gassin' me or
not but he's like he wanna manage me as a rapper AND a producer

[Hiphop:]
"I'll sign you as a producer and a rapper",
I'm like oh shit I was messin with,
uh, D-Dot also People were like this,
started talking about the Ghost production
But that's how I got in the game. If it wasn't for
that, I wouldn't be here So you know. After they
picked that Truth beat I was figuring I was gonna
do some more work But shit just went poppin off
like that. I was stayin in Chicago I had my own
apartment. I be doin' like, just beats for local
acts just to try to keep the lights on, and then
to go out and buy get a Pelle Pelle off lay-away,
get some Jordans or something or get a
TechnoMarine, that's what we wore back then I made
this one beat where I sped up this Hal Melville
sample I played it for Hip over the phone, he's
like "oh, yo that shit is crazy Jay might want it
for this compilation album he doin, called The
Dynasty." And at that time, like the drums really
weren't soundin' right to me so I went and um, I
was listening to Dre Chronic 2001 at that time and
really I just, like picked the drums off Xxplosive
and put it like with it sped up, sampled, and now
it's kind of like my whole style when it started,
when he rapped on 'This Can't be Life.' And that
was like, really the first beat of that kind that
was on the Dynasty album I could say that was the,
the resurgence of this whole sound You know, I got
to come in and track the beat, and at the time I
was still with my other management. I really
wanted to roll with Hiphop. 'Cause I, I just
needed some fresh air, you know what I'm sayin,
'cause I been there for a while, I appreciated
what they did for me, but, you know there's a time
in every man's life where he gotta make a change,
try to move up to the next level. And that day I
came and I tracked the beat and I got to meet
Jay-Z and he said, "oh you a real soulful dude"

[Jay-Z:
"You a real soulful dude". And he uh,
played the song 'cause he already spit his verse
by the time I got to the studio, you know how he
do it, one take. And he said

[Jay-Z:]
"Check this out, tell me what you think of this, right here"
"tell me what you think of this." And I heard it,
and I was thinking like, man, I really wanted more
like of the simple type Jay-Z, I ain't want like
the, the more introspective, complicated rhy- or
the, in my personal opinion. So he asked me, "what
you think of it?"

[Jay-Z:]
"So what you thinkin?"
And I was like, "man that shit tite," you know
what I'm sayin', man what I'ma tell him? I was on
the train man, you know. So after that I went back
home. And man I'm, I'm just in Chicago, I'm trying
to do my thing. You know, I got groups. I got acts
I'm trying to get on, and like there wasn't nothin
really like poppin' off the way it should have
been. One of my homeys that was one of my artists,
he got signed. But it was supposed to really go
through my production company, but he ended up
going straight with the company. So, like I'm just
straight holdin' the phone, gettin' the bad news
that dude was tryin' to leave my company. And I
got evicted at the same time. So I went down and
tracked the beats from him, I took that money,
came back, packed all my shit up in a U-Haul,
maybe about ten days before I had to actually get
out. So I ain't have to deal with the landlord
'cause he's a jerk. Me and my mother drove to

[Mother:]
"Come on, let's just go" Newark, New
Jersey. I hadn't even seen my apartment.
I remember I pulled up

[Mother:]
"Kanye, baby, we're here",
I unpacked all my shit. You know, we went
to Ikea, I bought a bed, I put the bed together
myself. I loaded up all my equipment, and the
first beat I made was, uh, 'Heart of the City.'
And Beans was still working on his album at that
time, so I came up there to Baseline, it was
Beans' birthday, matter of fact, and I played like
seven beats. And, you know I could see he's in the
zone he already had the beats that he wanted, I
did nothing like already at that time. But then
Jay walked in. I remember he had a GuccI bucket
hat on. I remember it like, like it was yesterday.
And Hiphop said "yo play that one beat for him."
And I played 'Heart of the City.' And really I
made 'Heart of the City,' I really wanted to give
that beat to DMX.

[Hiphop:]
"No I think Jay gon' like this one right here".
And I played another beat, and I played another beat.
And I remember that GuccI bucket, he took it and like put it over
his face and made one of them faces like
'OOOOOOOOOOH. Two days later I'm in Baseline and
I seen Dame. Dame didn't know who I was and I was
like "yo what's up I'm Kanye."

[Dame:]
"Yo, you that kid, Kanye?"
"You that kid that gave all them beats to Jay?
Yo, this nigga got classics"

[Dame:]
"Jay got classics, G."
You know I ain't talkin shit. I'm like "oh shit."
And all this time I'm starstruck, man.
I'm still thinking 'bout,
you know I'm picturing these niggaz on the show The
Streets is Watching, I'm lookin, these were
superstars in my eyes. And they still are, you
know. So, Jay came in and he spit all these songs
like in one day, and in two days... I gotta bring
up one thing, you know, come back to the story,
the day I did the 'Can't be Life' beat on track, I
remember Lenny S, he had some Louis Vuitton
sneakers on, he think he fly. And Hiphop was
there, I think Tata, John Minnelli, a bunch of
people. I didn't know all these people at the time
they was in the room, and I said, "yo Jay I could
rap." And I spit this rap that said, uh "I'm
killin y'all niggaz on that lyrical shit.
Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push miracle whips."
And I saw his eyes light up when I said that line.
But you know the West, the rap was like real wack
and shit, so that's all the response. He said "man
that was tite."

[Jay-Z:]
"That, that was cool. That was hot."
That was it. You know, I ain't get no deal then,
hehe. Okay, fast forward. So, Blueprint,
H to the Izzo, my first hit single. And
I just took that proudly, built relationships with
people. My relationship with KwelI I think was one
of the best ones to ever happen to my career as a
rapper. Because, you know, of course later he
allowed me to go on tour with him. Man, I appre--
I love him for that. And at this time, you know I
didn't have a deal, I had songs, and I had
relationships with all these A&R's, and they
wanted beats from me, so they'd call me up, I'd
play them some beats. "Gimme a beat that sound
like Jay-Z." You know, they dick riders. Whatever.
So I'll play them these post-Blueprint beats or
whatever and then I'll play my shit. I'll be like,
"yo but I rap too." Hey, I guess they was lookin'
at me crazy 'cause you know, 'cause I ain't have a
jersey on or whatever Everybody out there listen
here. I played them 'Jesus Walks' and they didn't
sign me. You know what happened, it was some A&R's
that fucked with me though, but then like the
heads, it'd be somebody at the company that'll say
"naw." Like, Dave LottI fucked with me, my nigga
Mel brought me to a bunch of labels. Jessica Rivera, man

[Jessica:]
"Man, you niggaz is stupid
if y'all don't sign Kanye, for real." I'm not
gonna say nothin to mess my promotion up
"Y'all niggaz is stupid". Let's just say I didn't get my
deal. The nigga that was behind me, I mean, he
wasn't even a nigga, you know? The person who
actually kicked everything off was Joe 3H from
Capitol Records. He wanted to sign me really bad.

[Joe:]
"We gonna change the game, buddy." Dame was
like, "yo you got a deal with Capitol, okay man,
just make sure it's not wack."

[Dame:]
"You gotta make sure it's not wack."
Then one day I just went ahead and played it,
I wanted to play some songs,
'cause you know Cam was in the room, Young Guru,
and Dame was in the room. So I played... actually
it's a song that you'll never hear, but maybe I
might use it. So, it's called 'Wow.
"I go to Jacob with 25 thou, you go with 25 hundred, wow I
got eleven plaques on my walls right now You got
your first gold single, damn, nigga, wow."
Like the chorus went. Don't bite that chorus, I might
still use it. So I play that song for him, and
he's like "oh shit"

[Dame:]
"Oh shit it's not even wack."
"I ain't gonna front, it's kinda hot."

[Dame:]
"It's actually kinda hot." Like they still
weren't looking at me like a rapper. And I'm sure
Dame figured, 'like man. If he do a whole album,
if his raps is wack at least we can throw Cam on
every song and save the album, you know. So uh
Dame took me into the office, and he's like "yo
man, we, we on a brick, we on a brick"

[Dame:]
"You don't wanna catch a brick" You gotta be under
an umbrella, you'll get rained on. I told Hiphop
and Hiphop was all, "oh, word?" Actually, even
with that I was still about to take the deal with
Capitol 'cause it was already on the table and
'cause of my relationship with 3H. That, you know,
'cause I told him I was gonna do it, and I'm a man
of my word, I was gonna roll with what I said I
was gonna do. Then, you know, I'm not gonna name
no names, but people told me, "oh he's just a
producer rapper" and told 3H that told the heads
of the Capitol, and right-- the day I'm talking
about, I planned out everything I was gonna do
man, I had picked out clothes, I already started
booking studio sessions, I started arranging my
album, thinking of marketing schemes man I was
ready to go. And they had Mel call me, they said
"yo... Capitol pulled on the deal"

[Mel:]
"Yo, Capitol pulled out on the deal."
And, you know I told them that Rocafella was interested and I
don't know if they thought that was just something
I was saying to gas them up to try to push the
price up or whatever. I went up... I called G, I said,
"man, you think we could still get that deal with Rocafella?"
