Wezlar posted:Kanye Wests top 5 MCs No I'm pretty sure he said Eminem was in his top 5 when he was talking about how amazing Nicki Minaj is. Tbqh, I think he just gets drunk and tweets poo poo that he otherwise would have just thought for 5 minutes and then forgotten. e: Yeah here it is: “The scariest artist in the game right now… The scariest artist is definitely Nicki Minaj, and I think she has the most potential out of everyone to be the #2 rapper of all time ’cause nobody’s gonna be bigger than Eminem. Eminem’s the #1 rapper of all time.” I think your list is off a bit.

That's...interesting. Have Kanye and Em ever collabed on a track? I would like to hear that.

I think Forever was pretty obviously not really collaboration. All 4 of those verses were probably recorded in different locations. A true 'Em + 'Ye collaboration would be pretty exciting though.

The production is questionable but Kanye actually drops a decent verse, slightly better than on some of his own songs recently. edit - Pharrell produced it right? I haven't heard a good beat out of him in 100 rap years Final Fart Buttball fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Oct 9, 2010 |

Ryan Leslie's account of the recording process for Christian Dior Denim Flow (Source):Ryan Leslie posted:SEPT 26, 2010: Came back the next day. I walked in the studio, Cudi, John Legend was in there, Pusha was in there and Kanye was like, Man, there’s so much talent in the room we should do something. So it was literally that extemporaneous. It's really interesting to see that Kanye just gets a lot of creative minds in a room and comes up with poo poo. Definitely got a unique vibe to it that album cuts don't always have.

Okay, so a big part of the appeal of Kanye for me involves all the paradoxes about him: he seems to do whatever the hell what he wants to do, but he also totally cares what people think. He's a narcissist who's also self-conscious and sometimes self-loathing. He's a major radio hitmaker who rarely plays it safe. Basically, at any point he can totally fall flat on his face, and then totally win everyone back over with the next amazing song. That said, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a terrible loving title that's gonna be in his discography forever and someone should have told him "no."

What I'm getting from this is: My Dark Twisted Fantasy > Dark Twisted Fantasy > My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy > Good rear end Job. Unless I'm wrong. Anyway, in other Kanye news, Runaway debuted at number twelve on the Billboard charts. Let's hope this does better than POWER, considering it debuted in the twenties, fell quickly, and just kind of loitered around the bottom of the list before finally getting kicked off.

His 35-min long movie/music video Runaway is going to premiere in the next two weeks, according to GQ. Kanye says most of the album is on the soundtrack. http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/entert...twisted-fantasy quote:14. The film will be packaged with the album in November, but in under a fortnight's time it will be transmitted in full on TV where it will simultaneously premiere on the big three American music networks. It will also be uncut.

Jesus christ, everyone read that article. It's long, but it provides some loving fantastic insight into Kanye's mind and some hints at the album/film.

That cover is amazing. No matter what the real album cover is I'll probably make that the default picture for when I'm listening to the new album. I honestly think he's making the best music now that he has since College Dropout and his early mixtapes came out Edit - he said on twitter today that the version of Runaway that will be on the album is 8 minutes and includes the voice samples he put on the VMA version of the tune Final Fart Buttball fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Oct 18, 2010 |

Aesthetically, I like the second one with the bear a lot more. But I like how nuts the first one is, nothing about it makes sense. George Condo has an awesome absurdist/horror style that totally works.

You ever wanted to hear Fergie, Elton John, and The-Dream on the same track? Who doesn't? Well, the good news is your wait will soon be over. http://www.rap-up.com/2010/10/18/kanye-wests-biggest-collaboration-yet/ quote:Rap-Up.com was in the house at Monday night’s screening of his short film Runaway in Los Angeles where he revealed the eleven names that contributed to the super-sized track. They are Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Elton John, Fergie, John Legend, The-Dream, Tony Williams, Kid Cudi, Charlie Wilson, Ryan Leslie, and La Roux’s Elly Jackson.

I guess that early leaked AotL was certainly quite a bit unfinished. I'm 100% glad that drake is off the track though, not sure how a feel about Rihanna or Fergie though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSCcD9Djj5M Kanye on Ellen. The diamond teeth make sense considering those front teeth were probably badly damaged in the car crash (circa 2002) and were fake/had a lot of work done to them anyway.
