 The majority of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was recorded in Oahu , Hawaii , a trait that " So Appalled " shares . Following several media controversies , West decided to record his next album in a reclusive manner only working with artists he considered himself familiar with . Amongst the various artists invited down to Hawaii to record songs for the album was Pusha T , a rapper known for the hip @-@ hop duo Clipse . While in Hawaii , Pusha @-@ T commented that the very first thing he recorded was his verse for " So Appalled " . He favorably compared recording with West with another producer he was used to working with , Pharrell Williams , commenting that he enjoyed how the process was more of a canvas .
