Your support makes all the difference.Though he was working with Kanye West on The Life of Pablo just weeks ago, Hudson Mohawke has threatened to release a zip file of unreleased music by the rapper during a Twitter tirade.
“Literally about to release zip of kanye and drake songs I’ve done that I got [zero] for,” he wrote in a since deleted tweet.
It’s unclear whether ‘zero’ refers to money or credit, as he continued: “Mannn so tired of making careers for ppl who take my work n add 1 hi hat n take all the credit…exhausting shit[…]Actually since being asked so many times ‘wats your advice to upcoming producers’[…]Mainstream rappers have less business sense than ur mum[…] Love a little wind up for u cuntos, keeps u on your toes heh […] Til the day someone actually does thief my laptop n get 3 albums worth of gold.”
Mohawke worked on TLOP tracks ‘Famous’ ‘Freestyle 4’ and ‘FML’, having also been part of Yeezus and Drake’s Nothing Was the Same album.
Kanye is known for working with several producers on a single track, having assembled something of a dream team in the studio for TLOP.
Mohawke is brave picking a fight with Kanye on Twitter - it didn’t end well for Wiz Khalifa.
