G.O.O.D. Music affiliate Tony Williams recently teased fans about rap star Kanye West's upcoming Yeezus follow-up and what they can sonically expect from the LP.
In Williams’ opinion, the project could have the same potential as music icon Michael Jackson’s historic Thriller masterpiece.
“It sounds like Yeezus but it’s gonna be another animal,” Tony revealed in an interview. “We’re just focusing on making great records. And when I say great records, I don’t mean records that are pigeon-holding to a certain genre, a certain style, we’re out to make a new Thriller, if you will. Like, on that magnitude. Actually, like, the greatest album of all time. It’s coming along great. People are gonna be excited about it.” (Complex)
Kanye suffered a big leak over the summer…
Over the summer, Mr. West suffered a leak of his “All Day” track.
A rough version of Kanye West’s new single, “All Day,” has leaked. The unofficial version sounds to have been recorded by phone. You can check out a low-quality recording of “All Day” courtesy of Revolt. ‘Ye’s flow is reminiscent of Nicki Minaj‘s on “Lookin’ Ass,” and features his signature braggadocious raps. (Billboard)
Within his summer GQ cover story, Kanye admitted being influenced by longtime friend Jay Z on his new “All Day” record.
“I think just my usual pattern is like that. It’s like a pendulum. The pendulum gains momentum by swinging in the other direction. Even lyrically, I think about certain lines that I say on my new single, which is called “All Day,” that usually Jay would say, but Jay’s not on there. So I say, “All day, n*gga, it’s Ye, n*gga. Shopping for the winter, it’s just May, n*gga. Ball so hard, man, this sh*t cray, n*gga. You ain’t getting money unless you got eight figures.” Right? Jay would have said that. And then eventually I would have came in with, like, whatever I come in with.” (GQ)
West also hinted at when fans could possibly start preparing to hear his newest tunes.
“I don’t know, man. I hope I can get one of these songs out in the next couple of weeks, just to have something up and running. But I think most likely September. I go back and forth. Like, should it be September or should it be October? Should it be November? When Beyoncé was working on her last album, she took a while. I was thinking it could somehow come out in June, like Yeezus, and just kill it for the summer. But then I’m like, I have to work on Adidas and be with my child.” (GQ)
IT Kanye i don’t put anything pass him.
Kanye really think he so great his music and production suck now days stop trying to be different and stick to the elements bitch
Every single rapper says their new album is going to be a “classic” and “stand the test of time”. There’s almoat no albums out that fulfill these comments.
