Chance The Rapper Reveals Kanye West's 'Insane Multitasking’ Skills

Chancelor Jonathan Bennett, popularly known as Chance the Rapper, is an American rapper, record producer, and singer.

His move from an independent rapper to a sought out artist has led to his collaboration with big-name artists like Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, and Childish Gambino.

However, in an interview with Teen Vogue, Chance the Rapper said that there was no experience quite like working with Kanye West. West is a rarity in music, and he concurs from the looks of Chance the Rapper's interview.

Chance the Rapper has always looked up to West, and he admitted as much. Besides them being from Chicago, the first album he ever bought was Kanye's debut album, "College Dropout." According to Chance the Rapper, West's music meant so much to him that it was an anchor that held him down during hard times.

According to NME, Chance the Rapper once took to Twitter to talk about how much he respected Kanye in a series of tweets. This came after West praised his mixtape "Coloring book" and called him his "brother."

"Chance too good," the Ye singer wrote. "God level bars."

Chance the Rapper repaid West's comments by tweeting about Kanye's influence on his music. One of his tweets stated, "It's crazy cause I feel like I met Kanye the first time I heard "We Don't Care." Like he's been there for me since 2004," referencing the second song on "The College Dropout."

Since then, the two rappers have collaborated on different songs like "All We Got," "Sit Back," and "Ultralight Beam." Chance the Rapper has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with West and his front-row seat to the incredible creative process, work ethic, and imagination that West uses when creating his songs.

When Chance was asked how it was working with West in his interview with Teen Vogue, he went straight to the point. "Insanity. He's very big on multitasking," The Coloring book artist said.

"We'll have a studio rented out, and he'll bounce between rooms working on different songs, writing for a second or adding or subtracting productions. He'll also put a bunch of people in a room that he thinks might have good ideas and try to see what they come up with."

"I remember one night we had a lady who produced the 'Lego' film, a bunch of coding people and a magician all in a room together trying to figure out how they could make him disappear onstage. I don't know if he ever figured that sh*t out!"

West has never been shy about saying how he sees things, and this trait is also obvious while he's recording music. In his interview, Chance disclosed that while he was there, West came to the studio, not just for music but to give them life advice and express how he viewed the world. According to him, the lectures have aided his growth over the years in many ways.

Chance said, "Twenty-five percent of it is productive ideas flowing, and then 75 percent is lectures from Kanye, where he tells you exactly how he views the world — just very straight Kanye honesty that definitely gets your creativity and strong opinions out on the floor."

"I think it helped me find myself. I'm a young dude from Chicago who grew up with Kanye as my image of hip-hop. Finding your voice in a room where you have to challenge Kanye is scary — but it's also life-affirming," Chance said.

Even with their rosy relationship, there was a time West and Chance butted heads for a line in their joint song. According to Complex, some lyrics in Chance's part of their song "Ultralight Beam" didn't sit well with West, so he wanted it removed from the record.

Chance talked about how Kanye initially didn't like the line with his Grammy reference on the song in his interview with Brenton Blanchet for the Recording Academy. The line in question was, "Let's do a good-ass job with Chance 3/I hear you gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy."

"I rapped on Kanye's shit right before it came out that I was working on these three Grammys, and I was like, 'If I keep rapping like that, and just saying s***'s gonna happen, that's just gonna happen.' And it started happening." Chance explained

"Kanye didn't want me to say that on that song. And I had to go back and forth with him about keeping my line on there."
