Post Malone Explains What It Was Like To Record “Fade” With Kanye West
“We kinda record in the same way, but, in his way, he’s just so much more genius than me.”
Post Malone recently DJ Whoo Kid's radio show on Shade 45 for an interview in which he discussed going on tour with Justin Bieber, hanging out with country music stars like Toby Keith, and recording for the The Life of Pablo with Kanye West.
“‘Fade’ was just a dope vibe, a little funky vibe, so let’s try something new,” the rapper says about his collaboration with Kanye. “You never really know what to expect, but [Kanye] played me the song, or he sent me the song so I could hear it. And then I did like a scratch vocal and then I got in the actual studio with him and actually cut the real vocals to the song.”
He continued: “I’ll tell you what. He’s got this pad of paper with just like thousands of ideas in it, lines that he’ll use. Throughout the day he’ll probably just think of something and write it down, he flips through and comes up with the craziest stuff, off a freestyle, off a flow. We kinda record in the same way, but in his way he’s just so much more genius than me.”
