Kanye West gained immediate success and fame after his first single “Through the Wire” a song about Kanye’s close to death experience from a car accident he was involved back in 2002.
“I said, ‘Yo, let’s go outside and get a car scene.’ I’m trying to get him out of there ’cause Luda’s in there and you know Luda’s mad ill. I didn’t want Kanye to see that he’s a little crazy over the other beat so I told him let’s go over here. So under the car light I film him and he’s still rapping and going in like, (kany I don’t know, it was long, but two of the f—–g free styles he did is records he got out now. The Thing that’ bugged out is I filmed him after it was over like, ‘All right my n—a I’ll talk to you later,’ so he’s in the car heated and just peels off. I’m like, ‘Whew,’ and I go back in the studio and we get a phone call”.
“3H who’s really close to Kanye came up to me and said, ‘Yo, Kanye just flipped his car. He flipped his sh*t and he’s in the hospital right now. Once he did that, then his mixtape came out and he showed his face. I think that if I hadn’t really angered him, or…I don’t know if he was really angry or maybe he drove too fast…I don’t know but we did film it. We have it documented.”
