Producer S1 Says Kanye's "Guilt Trip" Was Intended For Watch The Throne

S1 aka Symbolic 1, producer of Kanye West's "Guilt Trip" says the track was originally for Watch The Throne in an interview with VIBE.

“The ‘Guilt Trip’ beat was actually made in London when I was in the studio with Kanye and Jay for the Watch The Throne album. He always loved it but it didn’t fit the vibe of Watch The Throne so he held it for this album. I’m always expecting something against what’s popular because that’s just him as an artist and a creator,” said the Texas-born producer. “I didn’t know exactly which direction [Yeezus] was going to go but I knew it would be something kinda away from the norm of what everybody else would be doing.”
