before he was on the mike dean wave


this man was the "genius" behind LR Jon Brion - IMDb

Kanye's Co-Pilot, Jon Brion, Talks About The Making Of Late Registration - Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV.com

'Oh, [Kanye's] gone off his rocker — he's going to make an art record with some crazy, left-field music guy,' " Brion said, imagining haters' comments. "That's not the case whatsoever. It's very much a Kanye West record."

Brion should know — he's the co-executive producer of nearly every track on Late Registration.

Brion conducted a 20-piece orchestra on "Celebration," and had to restrain the players' laughter at the lyric "You know what this is?/ It's a celebration, bytches." He also had to fight with Kanye to keep the song, which had begun with weird electronic twinkling sounds before morphing into its current cinematic treatment, on the album — something he also had to do with a track about his sick grandmother called "Roses."

Is this news? Look at the credits on Cruel Summer and Watch The Throne, he's at best doing co-production, adjusting the drums, adding some hi-hats, etc.

These fools ain't buying the albums. How can they read the credits... :pachaha:

I've been known that Kanye has stepped back from production years ago. In fact, he started doing co-production on his Late Registration album and it expanded from there.
