Before getting deep into these controversies, Kanye West proved to be one of the greatest musicians. In the early 2010s, Ye collaborated with the ex-Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney. They both created some of the nicest songs and included Rihanna as well. The song that they created was claimed as the favorite by Ye’s then-wife, Kim Kardashian. But do you know what Paul McCartney said about working with Ye felt like?

If today’s generation doesn’t know who Sir Paul McCartney is, it would be unfair. He is an English singer, songwriter, and musician. He gained worldwide fame with the Beatles, for whom he played bass guitar. McCartney also shared primary songwriting and lead vocal duties with John Lennon. In an interview in 2015, he shared how he felt about working with the Chicago rapper, Ye.

The legendary songwriter compared Kanye West with John Lennon for a beautiful reason

John Lennon was an English singer, songwriter, musician, and peace activist. While working together with Lennon, McCartney would sit down with him for hours. They would ping-pong the ideas till they created a song. In an interview, McCartney opened up about his experience of working with Ye. He compared his time with John Lennon to Kanye West. He said, “Working with West was like that.” 

While remembering his ex-Beatle member, Sir Paul McCartney revealed an experience when he and Ye created one of their famous song named ‘Only One’. The Beatles’ Let It Be inspired this collaborative song, as he revealed. He remembered they had sat together and had to talk a lot just to break the ice between them. McCartney told the story of how he wrote the song, ‘Let It Be’ to Ye. He even shared his mother came to his dreams and inspired that song to McCartney. This experience of this legendary songwriter inspired Ye, and he also said he would write a song with his mother. And he did. That is how they created ‘Only One’.

However, Paul McCartney also admitted he was skeptical about working with the rapper because of the controversies going on then. However, their collaboration made a victory and topped the Billboard charts then. They went on to release more songs together as well. Have you heard those songs by these two artists?
