Together, West and Dilla produced a majority of Com’s album, and Ye lent his vocals to the songs, “They Say,” “Go!,” and “The Corner.”
The trio were close collaborators prior to Jay Dee’s death in 2006. Earlier this year, on Hot 97, Common reflected on an instance when Yeezy visited Com and Dilla at their home in Los Angeles. At that point, Ye was already sampling the Detroit producer’s drums on his beat tapes.
“Ye was talking to [Dilla] and they was just bonding, and then Dilla gave Ye these drums on a record,” Common said on Ebro in the Morning. “I promise you, Ye was like, it was the golden chalice,” Com said, noting that as soon as they got to the studio, the Donda rapper “was working on those songs.”
Common added, “Dilla had a lot of love for Ye. And Ye had love for Dilla. It was great to see somebody who was as great as Ye just be like, ‘Dilla gave me these joints!’”
