reveals some interesting information about West’s “Bound 2,” if he is to be believed. Taking to X/, the rapper alleged that was inspired by his track “FatbellyBella” to make the record that appeared on his 2013 album, Yeezus.

“So when I was living in London, Ye and Virgil came to my house and stayed for a few days,” Elec explained, adding, “and I played them FatbellyBella aka Life on Mars and they eventually used that same melody line and sample for Bound 2. Go listen.”

Both songs include a sample from Wee’s 1977 track, “Aeroplane (Reprise).”
