Listen to Kanye West’s leaked “Lost in the World” collaboration with Bon Iver and Gil Scott-Heron
Further evidence that Kanye’s fallen moment has helped him create his best music yet is this additive collaboration with indie-folk singer Bon Iver, “Lost in the World.” It starts with Iver’s auto-tuned (yes auto-tuned) 2009 song “Woods” and swells into a rich chorus went Kanye joins in around the 0:57 mark.
Later we get samples from Gil Scott-heron’s 1970 “Comment #1” and Kanye rapping about getting laid in the afterlife.
We can look forward to more of this. Iver collaborates with Ye on nine songs on the upcoming My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Here’s another one of those collabs,”Monster,” that dropped late August (it also featured Nikki Minaj, Rick Ross, and Jay-Z):
Nikki Minaj killed it in that one!
Last night Kanye started a frenzy over the cover’s controversial nudity via Twitter.
