Was it The Twilite Tone out of Chicago?

Was it Hudson Mohawke?

^^ Guess not.

Was it Lifted? Was it Mike Dean? Was it Mike Will?

For such a sparse-ass beat, that's a hell of a lot of people to be involved in it.

Anyone know the real story behind the track? Shit is confusing me.

i know mike will did the drums cause he said it in an interview.
2787320, From what I gather, Lifted originated the song

And then Kanye had his team work on it to get it to where he wanted it to be.

Lifted is the one who put the screwed up hook (it's one of his artists) and Tone apparently put the Fuzzy Jones sample in there.

Mike Will did the drums, as said.
2787492, HudMo had to do Kanye's part of the beat right?

It sounds like him, now all we need is who did the Jamican sounds that I will forever associate with Madlib.

...a band of musicians each contributing their talent to a composition. Except it's hip-hop so we got to call them all producers. To me, that is one of Kanye's great talents: A seamless collaborator.

When Bjork does it, she's a genious.
When Kanye does it, he's talentless.
Hip-hop has always been funny about collaboration.

In other musical genre's you have songwriters, but in hip-hop they have to be secretive ghost writers.

It's funny.
