Kanye West Talks Possible Q-Tip, Madlib And J.Cole Collaborations

    With various leaks of unfinished songs popping up on the Internet and the fact that seven of the songs from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy have been released via G.O.O.D. Fridays, it seems there aren’t too many details we don’t know about the album. But Kanye West would beg to differ.

    “I don’t wanna give everything away,” Kanye said while addressing various media members via conference call and UStream. “It’s a couple surprises on there, believe it or not. Even with people trying their best to leak it and stuff, they still can’t stop what I went into the studio and did.”

    Kanye was tight-lipped about the details of what was changed, but Cyhi Da Prynce did say that the changes would be significant. While some artists have been known to add or switch out a verse, or sometimes substitute different drum patterns, Cyhi said fans will essentially be hearing different songs when My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is released on November 22. For those who can’t wait, it should be noted that the album is available for pre-order now via iTunes.

    Other details that emerged from the conference call were the confirmation of tracks with both Madlib and Q-Tip—although Kanye didn’t tell if those contributions would be found on Watch The Throne or My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Kanye said the collaboration definitely happened already and the result of it is “in the works right now.”

    “It’s coming soon,” Kanye said of Watch The Throne. “I’m just here right now. We’re gonna do another UStream for that when it’s time. That’s gonna be early next year though.” As far as a track featuring the former Roc-a-fella protégé, West, and Roc Nation’s J.Cole, West said it may happen, but gave no indication of it being a priority.

    “I’m really focused on G.O.O.D. Music right now,” Kanye explained. “But maybe we’ll put him on a G.O.O.D Friday track or something.”

    Due to call clarity issues, and, quite frankly, some dumb questions from a few media outlets, the following excerpt has been edited. If you would like to see the full, unedited UStream session, click here.

    1. Awesome. Madlib needs some props and good to know Kanye fuxs with him. We already know how much he looked up to Q-tip

      1. Yeah, ever since reading about how madlib and kanye might collaborate I’ve been waiting patiently to see what would come about. I’m glad to see that they are because this will be interesting.

      2. madlib need props?? you crazy son, madlib got his, real niggas know, a kanye cosign don’t mean shit to a hip hop nigga. Kanye just getting all these underground heads now to win back all the fans he lost from his previous two albums, bum ass nigga… he ain’t even from the Chi, nigga from the burbs, ol mommy’s money nigga.

    2. Wonder how many thousands Steve Jobs paid Kanye to have product-placement in his photos with that shit-eating grin on his face.

      Disgusting – can you imagine KRS-One accepting corporate money to push a product in his promo pictures?

      1. The amount of the gear and the cost to put it in his businesses and home is well worth the $ he’s getting. Do you know who Def Jam’s parent compant is? It’s no different than recording for a majot label.

    3. Q-Tip and MADLIB but no Large Pro? Where the fuck has the love gone for Large Pro? Kanye should’ve hollered at Large Pro as well…He’s way too underrated right next to Erick Sermon…WAKE UP MR.WEST!

      1. Damn dude, at least he’s working w/ Q-Tip and Madlib, that alone is dope and great for Hip Hop. Your probably one of those Dr. Dre crybabies about why he releases earphones instead of his album.

      1. kanye is crazy gay. fuck that nigga, he rather be a rock star than a great hip hop artist, fucking euro pop princess ass nicca

      1. yo dawg,

        hop off Ye’s sack 4 real. he’s doing big things. gtfo outta here with your whole :kids get off my lawn” mentality.

        ppl like you make old schoolers like me look bad. stop with the bitchassnezz. its a deadly disease.

    4. Fuck it, just call this site KanyeWestandafewotherthings.com

      Madlib has a unpredictable and worldly element that Kanye lacks in his beats. Both ill producers, but I think Kanye is a lil’ overrated and Madlib is very underrated.

    5. madlib, don’t do it!!!
      fuck that faggot and just keep it dusty and humble!!
      RIP Dilla… fuck Kanye and Dr. Dre!!

    6. Kanyes worse than puffy with this kinda bullshit. Yes, Kanye we see you with Madlib…woulda been cool like five years ago….this fuckin guy.

    7. ITS JUST MUSIC YALL DAMN! LET IT LIVE!!! THATS THE PROBLEM NOW A DAYS YALL DONT LET ISHHH EVEN LIVE!!

      LONG LIVE YE’

    8. Nigga Kanye already learned under No I.D. AND was able to learn from joints when he did Commons Finding Forever and chopped the beats just like he would’ve done. Kanye came in the game with soul and just the fact he doin a song with madlib is dope!. He needs to sit in the studio with some real ass niggas again!

    9. Beats! Beats! Beat!

      Calling all Emcees!!!!
