You don’t know how many times I felt the temptation to leak this video (…just playin Ye). Man, dude would have had a fit, but this was the first video I was ever a part of. Imagine that, your video debut and Kanye says, “I don’t like it, I’m not gonna release it”. The song is also very special to me, it’s the song that “put me on”. If you don’t know the story it went something like this. It was the Christmas holidays, 2003, and the College Dropout was about 90% finished and World Famous was no where on it. Why not? John Legend had been lacing all the tracks with his soulful background vocals. But that cold day in December on the ride from the airport in Oklahoma City, Ye put Spaceships in the C.D. player an instantly, THAT WAS MY SHIIIT!!!! Heaven knows!! So I just started lacin’ that joint right there in the car while I was driving. The following week I was in L.A. in the studio and thus, World Famous was born. Finally after all these years, Kanye wakes up on the right side of the bed, watches the video again and decides he likes it. Wanna see it? Here it goes!
