B.....I dont even life Chief Keef & I heard about him before.
This is an interview on Fake Shore Drive before Yeezy announced the remix.
DJ Pharris Interview W/ FSD; Talks "Theraflu", Chief Keef & Upcoming Projects | Chi-Town's Finest
FSD: So I heard a rumor that “Theraflu” was heavily influenced by Chief Keef and the new rappers bubbling in Chicago. Any truth to that?
DJ Pharris: Well, Kanye is watching what’s going on in Chicago right now. He’s definitely watching what these guys are doing pretty closely. He talked to me about it, and we had a pretty big conversation about what’s going on here right now. He sees the movement and power these young kids have. I don’t know if they totally inspired the record, but I do know that he likes what is coming out of Chicago right now. He especially likes Chief Keef. One of the records Ye kept playing over and over again was Keef’s “I Don’t Like.” We played it on repeat in the studio. Ye just kept blurting out “I Don’t Like,” then Don C would walk in the studio and yell out “I Don’t Like…..I Don’t Like.” Kanye told me “I Don’t Like” was his second favorite record only to “N***** In Paris” — I couldn’t believe it. I told him “You’ve gotta me kidding me,” but he was dead serious.
Now....that article came out April 13th. Kanye ain't announce the remix til late April. Keef was already at a few million views in April.
All I'm saying is........Kanye ain't just pick up some random loser & bless him with a major label remix. He saw something bubbling there
