Dude, I had a friend who went through deep psychosis and thought he was doing a collab with Kanye. It was super sad but interesting listening to him talk about “their” music. We had worked together on a few songs together beforehand and kinda dated, but he said something that broke my heart. He was still learning, so I understood.

I basically finished a few songs we were working on together. I mostly just ironed out the instrumentals. I didn’t mess with the raw files and made sure I kept the backups of the projects. He and his friends provided great audio. When I showed it to him the next day, he said, “Because you finished something that I’ve been thinking about making for years in one night, I don’t want to make music anymore.”

Then, he immediately had a breakdown and thought he was working with Kanye and had to be institutionalized. This was BEFORE new Kanye. It was kind of random, but I was happy his psychosis was something positive, but I still feel somewhat responsible. He’s mostly fine now. If it had been NEW Kanye, I couldn’t even imagine how dark of a place that would’ve taken him to.
