Kanye West is reportedly planning on releasing a spoken word album, according to an article on contactmusic.com.
The story says the project will be three-hours long and that it will be available on vinyl.
Topics West is said to discuss on the project include his daughter North, life with fiancée Kim Kardashian and his views on the environment.
An extended version available for download may also be available.
”He has very strong views on everything from music and art to politics and the environment,” a source says to contactmusic.com. “He’s forever recording his opinions on tape. He says he’s doing it for posterity and thought about turning them into a book or even donating them to a museum.’’
Earlier this month, Saigon referred to the G.O.O.D. Music emcee as “one of the best to ever do it” before commenting on ‘Ye’s skills as a composer.
“Kanye musically he’s one of the best to ever do it, man,” Saigon said. “Not just the lyrics, but I like the content of a lot of his stuff and the beats. And Kanye’s definitely one of the best musicians not just rappers, but I’d say composers and musicians ever in any genre of music.”

KANYE…PAUSE…TAKE A DEEP BREATHE NOW…AND PLS GO BACK TO THE BASICS OK…ALL THESE EXPERIMENTING AINT WORTH IT. WE HV FOUND THAT OUT FROM YEEZUS OK!
….BACK TO THE BASICS…
So what do you like then, officer ricky? YMCMB? Kayne’s experimenting.
Experimenting? That’s what people do prior to becoming bisexuals.
Kanye collaborates with Officer Ricky and YMCMB. What was the point of that comment?
@The first reply,U must be an Idiot.What has my comment got to do with Rick Ross n YMCMB? I said back to basics for Kanye west u bloody fool. That means back to ‘College Drop Out’ and ‘Graduation’ style.
U pricks all caught up in Rick Ross vs 50 Cent and ur hate for YMCMB that u make every article on HHDX about that.If u can read shut the fuck up.RETARD!
Wait, what’s the point you’re trying to make by bringing up Yeezus? That experimentation can create unique takes on an art form that are unlike anything before it? I’ll be the first to admit it, a Kanye spoken word album doesn’t sound like something worth getting pumped for, but your comment here about Yeezus was a good reminder that Kanye can take a concept which any other artist would fumble and make it into something truly original and dope. “Spoken word” brings expectations of something dry, boring and pretentious. Kanye has over a decades worth of evidence proving he’s not any of those things (I know I know, “pretentious” is definitely arguable, but IMO he’s come so close to the line without ever crossing it). Whether this spoken word album comes to fruition or not, and whether it’s something the average Kanye fan will be interested in or not, how can anyone doubt for a second that Ye wouldn’t be doing it with the utmost taste and dedication? Unless the problem in your taste, in which case I’d say broaden your influences, read a few classics, and come back to it when you’re ready to enjoy things.
DAMN CATFISH just shit down all of your pussy ass throats. Motherfucker just made everything else nullified!
COSIGN CATFISH
YEEZY the GOAT
Can this nigga just go away now?
NO!
I totally agree the stuff he is doing outside of his music career is stuff faggots do and these things are reminding everyone who wack this POS really is
LOL yah he must be “soooo wack” as you kooks say. Hows he wack? Turning his ideas into money?? LOL i guess thats lame these days,
yall fuck boys will never learn
LMFAO
Co-sign!
Kanye is about to change the game with this one.. I’ll listen just to hear brilliance on wax
thats what the fuck im talking about bruhbruh
How is he gonna change the game since this has been done before by rappers
Please fuck off Kanye! No one gives a shit about your retarded thoughts on politics or the fucking environment. You lost all respect when you wore a black leather skirt an a bondage mask. Fag!
LOL this dumbass butthurt as fuck! Lmao
yeezy the GOAT
^^^
That’s what happens when you drink your own piss!
This is obviously a fake story, why would he release it on vinyl? really? him and jayz has been trying to find new compelling ways to promote themselves, why would he put it out on vinyl, there is nothing attractive about that from a consumer standpoint and he knows this, there is no logic behind it.
People just assume that kanye is completely crazy after his latest album and all the rants, but the rants still worked as promotion for him as an artist.
This would take to much energy and time away from going in to the fashion world, why would he want to create a spoken word album, thats to close to music, and its not even an attractive product for him to sell.
He wants to work with Disney on billion dollar projects, why would he ever wanna focus on something that at its best could be considered as an underground media?
and the article is so obviously fake, come on, its way to exaggerated
”Kanye loves the sound of his own voice and this will be the ultimate in self-indulgence.”
“donating them to a museum.
if you believe this that only proves that you’re controlled by media and the image they used to put him in the crazy category.
FACTS
vinyl is huge fool. making a big comeback. lots of demand.
how you catching such feelings over this article?? Are you a fucking idiot this is exactly right up Kanyes alley, you must be blind to not see that. ANYWAYs, YEEZY the GOAT and this shit will sell regardless of how much hate you try to spew on the internet LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
3 hours of liberal bull
And the wack as fuck train chugs along with this decline.
Stop that sleepwalking babe and come back to bed.
But honey I’m only chasing my dreams, what about this morning wood though?
On the cool, this might be dope. Yall should checkout thegrandreport, they have some good videos on there too!
Kanye, you are no Gill-Scott Heron.
Just Getting Further And Further Away From Production, Huh ?!
Kanye West is the next Malcolm X
In your sick, twisted little mind, maybe, but not in the real world.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
So basically he wants to put his rants on vinyl and charge people for it?
Kanye is no Lauryn Hill. he will need someone to ghost write for him
Three hours of ranting? No, thanks.
another weirdo with a platform….nothing new here
Typical sell out…. and he sold all the way out…..
Keep thinking this will help the People, more fodder for the fight (over your heads i know)
and i dont give a fuck about your response, so keep em to your self
Emergency: black people meeting tomorrow at 7 a.m. to discuss removing Kanye West
Yeah..then he can come and live in my building! Douchbag
Ridiculous idea. A 3 hour rant. Why does this guy think anyone would wanna hear that whiny shit. Plus he thinks a museum would want that? This guy is in way over his head. I’ve never seen sum1 wit such delusions of grandeur and a huge inflated ego. Jesus Christ
not gonna be better than Shatner’s.
Probably wouldn’t listen to it, and I love Kanye.
