My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Product Information

Throughout the album's development, West solicited other producers and musicians to weigh in on its music with conversations and contributions at the studio. [2] Observing discussions among them during his visit, Callahan-Bever noted: "Despite the heavyweights assembled, the egos rarely clash; talks are sprawling, enlightening, and productive... we are here to contribute, challenge, and inspire". [2] In an interview with Callahan-Bever, Q-Tip described the process as "music by committee" and elaborated on its significance to the sessions and West's work ethic: Horner, Al (January 20, 2014).

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was conceived during Kanye West's self-imposed exile in Oahu, Hawaii, at Avex Recording Studio in 2009, following a period of public-image controversy. Around a year previously, he had held recording sessions at the studio for his previous album 808s & Heartbreak (2008). [2] [3] West said that fatigue from overworking led to his controversial outburst after Taylor Swift was awarded Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. He was disgusted with the ensuing media response, which led to a brief hiatus from recording. [2]
