Mike WiLL Made It Interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q4WQLHLFg0g

Mike WiLL Made It has produced some big tracks in 2013, but none more impressive than "Beach is Better," which was featured on Jay Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail.

In an interview with Revolt, Mike WiLL says he initially came to Jay with 10 tracks, and the Roc Nation rapper ended up asking the Atlanta producer to create something new for him. The result was "Beach is Better," which was used as an interlude for Jay's new album. "He rapped on it, and he just stopped," Mike recalls. "He was like, 'We're just going to use this as an interlude, and see how they feel about it.'"

Acknowledging the positive response the track has gotten, as well as a desire from fans to hear a full version, Mike WiLL explained that less is more. "Folks weren't ready for that whole song. As much as they say, 'Man, we want that joint to be a whole song,' they weren't ready."

...it's not like they were doing something so ahead of its time that folks truly aren't ready for it. It's like "c'mon yo".

i keep listening to this shit TRYING to like it.

a free ass album and i'm not sure why i'm giving so much of a f*ck.

i truly only like about 4 songs off this thing (and after hearing the "sample" for Picasso Baby, i'm *SERIOUSLY* side-eying Timbo).

people are going nutty for Beach is Better, Versus and that Gloria Estafan/Selena sounding bullshit and i'm wondering what they're hearing that i'm not.

i know i'm old, but DAMN.

hahaha i fucked with the picasso beat too...that's pretty bad

i could even get past his mediocre rapping if the production didn't sound so...compromised.

if jay drops the acapellas and i can hear guys like adrian younge and lunice get on it, i'll revisit this project. otherwise, it's a waste of attention and i'm getting more frustrated by every press piece i see on it
