With the recent and sudden departure of Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi from G.O.O.D. Music, many fans of the Kanye West-led label questioned whether any other acts would be following Cudi’s lead.
During a recent interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, crooner John Legend confirmed that he’s still a part of G.O.O.D. Music and has even worked heavily with Kanye on his upcoming album, Love In The Future.
“Yeah, still signed to G.O.O.D. Music. Me and Kanye worked on this whole album,” Legend revealed. “So, the next album Love In The Future is coming out this summer. We got the single out now, ‘Who Do We Think We Are.’”
Legend later went on to reveal that Kanye’s become less interested in making beats and for Legend’s Love In The Future album the rapper instead went on to “suggest beats” for the singer to write to. He later clarified his statements by adding that Kanye is more of “a producer in a classic sense.”
“What I’m saying is we think of production as making beats, but production is the vision. And Kanye is a producer in a classic sense. That’s how Quincy Jones was. He’s a producer in a classic sense,” Legend explained.
John Legend’s Love In The Future is expected to be released this summer. The singer’s interview with The Breakfast Club can be seen below (via HotNewHipHop).
PRODUCERS LIKE DJ KHALED AND DR DRE, RIGHT JOHNNY??
dj khaled just buys those beats and names himself the producer
That’s why his music is garbage now….
Hoping that Kanye still produces or has a serious hand in production (the hip-hop style) on his next album…
So, basically, Kanye’s like Puffy now when it comes to producing.
so kanye is putting a base line behind an 80’s hit record?
i get what he’s saying, i feel like GKMC is this way. no real dre beats but it has dre’s touch all over it
“dj khaled just buys those beats and names himself the producer”
The average listener wouldn’t know the difference, nor would they probably care.
Y’ALL BITCHES DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT DJ KHALED. HE NEVER SAID HE MADE THOSE BEATS. ALL OF THAT PRODUCERS, F.E. COOL & DRE, THE RUNNERS, T-MINUS AND OTHERS ALWAYS GOT CREDITED.
John Legendz voice is gay. Drake wud outsing him in a battle. swag
