On “I Am A God”, ‘Ye lets loose with one of the most hilarious lines you’ll hear anywhere for a while, “hurry up with my damn croissants!”. I mean, after spending the past minute or so detailing why he’s a god, being punctual with one of France’s most delicate breakfast items doesn’t sound like one of the most pertinent things on West’s itinerary, but if you’re going to be a god, might as well go all the way with it. One of the Yeezus engineers reflects.

Sometimes I don’t realize which lines are going to really resonate, but Kanye always does. Actually, “hurry up with my damn croissants” was one where I was like, “Are you really sure you want to say that?” [laughs] And he’s like, “Yes! That’s staying in!” He literally has the best gut instincts of anybody I’ve ever worked with, as far as what music should be. So when he says a line has to stay in, I’m like, “OK!” I will not argue with the god.
