    7:30 mark, but listen from 7:00 onwards. He had to track him down due to Cole's busy schedule (with tours and what not).

    He said specifically that he needed Cole to remix something, idk if that meant he found a sample he really liked, or if that means that he just needed him to re-work an existing beat.

    It might not be an original beat?

    Just checked MPA, prolly one of my fav cole beats tbh. Its MBDTF-esque. Reminds me of blame game. Unreal

    Yeah, blame game came to my mind on the first listen. Kind of minimalistic, but nice at the same time

    Maybe MPA could've been for SWISH and Kanye gave it to Pusha T and Cole just tweaked the beat

    As good as MPA is, I would be disappointed if that was a SWISH cut. The way he's delayed this joint, I'm expecting Mozart level music.

    I think he's taking so long on this album because it might be his last. He's clearly more focused on fashion and of course his wife and kids

    Kanye definitely produced that beat, it sounds like a mbdtf type beat.

    Cole added to the beat.
