There\u2019s so much detail in his sessions, and he definitely helped craft who I\u2019ve been, subconsciously, for the past few years. To actually be with him and talk to him and work with him, it\u2019s just like coming to life. He had to make the same decisions I did: College Dropout, Late Registration, and then the shift into Graduation, and another shift into 808s &amp; Heartbreak, which got mixed reviews but is one of the most important bodies of work of my generation. Kanye needed to be on this album, because I feel like I\u2019m going through what he\u2019s been going through\u2014reinventing himself and pushing the boundaries. And he looks at himself as pop. He says, \u201cI\u2019m a pop artist.
