Before getting deep into these controversies, Kanye West and Paul McCartney worked together and created a beautiful album.

&#8220;Working with West was like that&#8221;- Legendary Songwriter Paul McCartney Once Compared Kanye West and John Lennon for THIS Wholesome Reason

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

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

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’.
