Kanye West has his shortcomings, but loyalty isnt one of them or so thats according to his longtime friend and collaborator Consequence. Speaking to HipHopDX, Cons recalled how his and Yes verses from 2005s Gone which appears on Kanyes second album, Late Registration, and also features Camron were actually supposed to be on a Jennifer Lopez record. The first verse for Gone was originally supposed to be on J.Los Get Right, Consequence told DX. However, some playa hating from the pop stars camp resulted in them just wanting Kanye on the track. They didnt want me to be on it, Cons said. At the time they were just like, We just wanna have Kanye on it. And Kanye was like, Yo, if Cons dont do it, Im not doing it. Fact. So out of loyalty Kanye West took his verse off the record and used it for Gone which is now considered to be one his greatest tracks. The single version of J.Los Get Right which was written by Rich Harrison and includes writing credits from Usher and James Brown was released with no guests, but January 27, 2023 When Ye heard my verse, thats when he jumped on Spaceship and then it made sense for him in order to have both of us featured, and everybody loved Spaceship, was to put Spaceship on The College Dropout and give me back The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Cons also explained how the humbling relatability of Spaceship made it a hit, even though the Marvin Gaye-sampling track wasnt a single. I think the story of Spaceship is what people fell in love with, he claimed. I think the relatability of the 9-5 aspect of that song and not just the 9-5 aspect, but the evaluation of success and failure on that record is what a lot of people drew towards.
