Theophilus London on Working with Kanye West: 'You've Got to Become Like an Alcoholic or Something'

It is tough to believe anything Theophilus London says about Kanye West anymore, but we will give him the benefit of the doubt when he is talking about working with the Louis Vitton Don.

In a recent interview with Hot New Hip Hop, London had some interesting things to offer.

"Anybody will tell you: Working for Kanye, man, you've got to become like an alcoholic or something, 'cause man, he'll drive you crazy," London said.

He continued: "In the middle of the night, he'll change up the whole album. Put the album in the garbage, erase it, and make a new one. Everybody is like, 'What the f--k?' But you gotta go with it because it's his instinct and his project. That's why I love him. He's almost Peter Pan."

Check out the full interview below:

West and London worked on the latter's new album Vibes, and London made headlines in September when he insinuated that West's highly anticipated new LP was already finished.

SPIN broke down the situation: "In effect, he'd announced that the album was complete and might even be available sooner than we thought. Hell, London even returned to Twitter later to brag about being on the album himself, including the lead single. All told, it was a fine run for the man who would be Theophilus."

That changed at the end of the month.

"Kanye west isn't finished for all you Hypebeast bloggers out there writing for your magazine blogs," London tweeted.

Last year, London gave everybody the impression that West would not be much of a factor on London's new album, so consider "Can't Stop" and the rest of the West-produced Vibes an upset.

"I love Kanye," he told ABC in October 2013. "That doesn't mean if we did a song, it's going to end up on the album. We started working on something, but it wasn't really finished. He's super busy; he just dropped an album and he has a baby, so I'll give him a call when the time comes. But we didn't finish anything."

But apparently it worked out, and London will get a significant boost in attention thanks to rap's biggest star lending a hand in the booth and on the mic.
