Elec explains how Ye allegedly took inspiration from him on his 2013 record
Jay Electronica reveals some interesting information about Kanye West’s “Bound 2,” if he is to be believed. Taking to X/Twitter, the rapper alleged that Ye was inspired by his track “FatbellyBella” to make the record that appeared on his 2013 album, Yeezus.
“So when I was living in London, Ye and Virgil came to my house and stayed for a few days,” Elec explained, adding, “and I played them FatbellyBella aka Life on Mars and they eventually used that same melody line and sample for Bound 2. Go listen.”
Both songs include a sample from Wee’s 1977 track, “Aeroplane (Reprise).”
