With vocals from Ty Dolla Sign, “Freee (Ghost Town Pt. He already made Ray Charles, Otis Redding and Michael Jackson sound brand new on a handful of hits (“Gold Digger,” “Otis” and “Good Life,” respectively), and now he manages to do the same with a 1936 joint by big-band jazz great Louis Prima, turning “What Will Santa Claus Say?” into an unsettling, funky Greek chorus to West and Cudi’s old-fashioned rap boasts.
