CyHi The Prynce Talks Kanye’s Work Ethic
Anyone who has had the honor of working with Kanye West knows his perfectionist nature. Kanye’s skills did not develop overnight. G.O.O.D. Music artist CyHi The Prynce shared a story about Yeezy on the No Jumper podcast. He recalled that Ye honed his craft as a producer by recreating every Hip Hop album’s beat from the ’90s.
“Even when he’s doing beats, he’s going through every sample,” he explained. “I listened to every album from ’91 to around ’99, and he remade every beat from every Hip Hop album ever.” He would get the whole Nas album and do Nas album one through 16 — every beat to a T.”
He added, “Everybody who came out before him, he redid their album just to teach himself how to make beats. If he gon’ be that studious with beats, he’s going to be that way with everything. And that’s how I learned you really make sure you win, you have every option on the table.”
CyHi Gave Intel on Infamous Chance The Rapper, Kanye Argument

Somebody Wanted CyHi Dead

However, he did suffer minor injuries after crashing his car into a pole and tree.
