I put my visor up, he came up to me pissed off. And we were on stage wearing motorcycle helmets cause he didn’t want people to see our faces … everybody had a helmet on! Whole face sweating. “He was like, ‘No, no, no, I need you to sound like this! Get-get-get down, get-get-get down, get down!’ And I missed the last get down. “He wanted the scratches right on ‘Gold Digger!’ he continued. The song would eventually become Ye’s first number one record on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. I was scratching at soundcheck and he was like, “Yo, when you do that scratchin’, I need it to sound like A-Trak!”Īktive, a noted Philly legend on the turntables, nearly took the direction as a moment of disrespect but understood Ye’s vision was for the song live to match the recorded version, particularly his 2005 hit single “Gold Digger” with Jamie Foxx. “And Rihanna was there, it was at the Met Gala in New York. “I was on the tour in … 2009,” Aktive recalled. Kanye 's new album, featuring guest appearances by Young Jeezy, Lil' Wayne and Kid Cudi, tells the story of the heartache West suffered after his mother died. Retelling the story to Skillz for the Virginia rapper’s Hip Hop Confessions podcast, Aktive laughed about seeing Kanye on his worst day. Although Kanye West has leaked multiple tracks from his upcoming album ' 808s & Heartbreak ' himself, the entire album has reportedly leaked on the internet today. A year later, DJ Aktive caught the worst of Ye’s quest for perfect sound during a performance in New York City. During his 2008 Glow In The Dark Tour, he infamously snapped on a stage crew in Texas due to a soundboard malfunctioning during his set. Kanye West’s long pursuit of onstage perfection has led to numerous rants, antics and more.
