Apparently Kanye West's Mama's Boy is illegitimate


In a press release from Universal Music, The Kanye West track Mama's Boy is completely not what West had intended. Universal Music made the following statement in an email:

Statement re: illegitimate Kanye West track “Mama’s Boy”

"The version of the Kanye West recording “Mama’s Boy” that arrived on blog sites earlier this week is entirely bogus and unsanctioned, and violates the artist’s creative intentions. As is often the unfortunate case, an unknown party or parties got a hold of Kanye West’s vocal track and added their own soundbed to it, effectively and falsely releasing it as a Kanye West track from the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions. The result in no way resembles the final song Kanye West intended his fans to hear, and he is deeply disappointed that one of the most personal, meaningful and special songs he has ever written would reach people in this way. Needless to say, measures are being taken to identify and prosecute the persons responsible for leaking this material."

Well now that we know the soundbed is a fake, it now has us guessing what the real version actually sounds like. Maybe we'll see a release of it in the coming week/months.
