Now days people look at Kanye and the first thing that comes to mind is how cocky he is. Before Kanye West came to be known as on one of the cockiest lyricists in the game Kanye was a producer who wanted to become a big time rapper on Jay Z’s label. There was a Kanye who said one day people would look up to him and dress just like him.. They didn’t believe him though. Although Kanye did beats for Jay Z at the time he still couldn’t get Jay to sign him as a rapper..
DJ Whoo Kid gives insight about the tragic day that seemed to change Kanye’s life for the better. Kanye had a car accident back in 2003 that left him barely recognizable, black and blue. The rappers jaw was broken in 3 places possibly ending his rap career. Shortly after Ye put out his mixtape and released the video “Through The Wire” which featured Kanye rapping with his jaw still wired shut. The video paved the way for the multi-Grammy winning “College Dropout” phenomenon.
In a new video interview Whoo Kid reveals that Ludicrous was involved in the story…. He gives the deets on what took place in the studio before the accident and speaks about Kanye’s foresight.
“It was me, Beanie Siegel, Kanye and 3H. We were all in the studio and Luda was in town. He f—–g came to the studio and was like, ‘I gotta go to f—-n’ L.A.X. so I gotta do the verse [quickly].’ So, what happened was, Kanye saw Luda and he’s a fan. So, Kanye goes in the booth and he’s rapping.[...]Like, he was rapping for like an hour. Luda didn’t know Kanye that well at the time so Luda was like, ‘What the f*ck is going on? I came to do this song. Yo, Whoo Kid, I’m here to do your sh*t. I’m out of here.’ I got nervous because I really wanted to get this sh*t done. I was like, ‘What? You leaving?’ I ran in there like, ‘What you doing, [Kanye]? Get out there and play that beat, yo!’
So Kanye’s looking crazy, you know, trying to impress Luda, but it wasn’t that time. Luda wanted to come in, do that verse and get the f–k out. So, what made it worse is he went out there and played a beat but by the time he got out there, Luda picked a Red Spyda beat. So now I gotta tell Kanye ‘Your services are not needed.’”
“So, to smooth it out I told him, ‘You know what, I’m gonna film you — shooting you spittin’.’ That s–t was crazy. I don’t think I [liked his rhymes] at that time. I saw the little twinkle in his eye, like, he was happy because I was going to film him.”
On Kanye Leaving the Studio “Heated”
“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 [mimics Luda rapping]. Luda’s mad ill. I didn’t want Kanye to see that he’s a little crazy over the other beat. So under the car light I film him and he’s still rapping and going in like, ‘Killin’…Louis Vuitton…Versace….’ 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 and they call 3H, cause you know 3H and Kanye’s really close. 3H came up to me and said, ‘Yo, Kanye just flipped his car. He flipped his s–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.”On Kanye Predicting His Future With Jay-Z & in Fashion
“In the interview he talks about his mom, his car accident — ’cause you know he had [another] car accident before — he was talking about that, the chain his mother gave him, the fact that one day he’s gonna be with Jay-Z. He said all that, he gonna produced with him, everybody’s gonna dress like him. He said everything that he’s doing today.”

2 Things to take from this interview..
You must have a vision. If you can envision it you can achieve it.
The tables do and will turn. Be careful how you treat people. You never know what position they may end up in, in life. Once a upcoming rapper Kanye is now one of the hottest on Jay Z’s record label.. Luda is still hot, but definitely not as hot as he once was.
Lastly Kanye’s arrogance is indeed from a place of people not believing in him. He used the non believers to fuel himself. All along the way he kept telling himself he can do it. He kept hyping himself up saying positive affirmations.. Perhaps now that he has made it and become such a great, successful rapper that he will eventually start to tone it down a bit. But if he does tone it down, then he wouldn’t be the same Kanye.. Hate him or Love Him. Kanye is just being Kanye. You have to take the good with the bad..
