Kanye West is still touring in support of his album Yeezus, but apparently there are already plans for his next project.
In an interview with Jay Z’s Life + Times, A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip revealed that he would be teaming up with Rick Rubin to produce Kanye’s next album.
“I’m producing Kanye’s new album with Rick Rubin,” said Tip, after confirming that he would still be releasing his own solo album, The Last Zulu.
Q-Tip also spoke about deejaying, and why it is still a passion for him. “I mean, I love doing that because I think that, today, it’s important to connect all of the dots musically,” he said. “And when I spin…first of all, I try to read the energy of the crowd, and not try to make it too much about me. But at the same time, whatever that crowd makeup is, then I instantly just try to pull things and try to take them on a journey, and try to connect different music from genre, from different periods, but still keep the party going.”
“It’s fun,” he said. “It’s a great challenge. It keeps you on your toes.”
Watch the interview below:
Q-Tip announced that he was signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label last year, and previously collaborated with ‘Ye on Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Rick Rubin also produced on Kanye’s Yeezus.
Lovely, so we’re basically going to get Yeezus 2. Not sure how it’ll surpass how unbelievably terrible the first one was/is, but I wouldn’t put it past Kanye to find a way..
He aint producing that….
Kanye aint let him drop anything on good music let alone a whole album…
Q-Tip is a better fit for Kanye then Rick Rubin. That’s Mama’s Boyfriend song he did for him was awesome. Rubin’s work w/ Kanye and Eminem has sucked.
3 of the 4 Rubin tracks on MMLP2 were album highlights so no they didn’t suck. His work with Kanye was atrocious though.
he didnt produce songs for kanye. he was brought in to clean up the album as it was very raw and its release date was fast approaching

Q-Tip is a good producer but someone bring Ali Shaheed back!

Q-Tip WAS a nice producer…name one good track that he’s produced in the last 15 years? Love Movement was 90% Jay Dee, Dilla, J Dilla or whatever the fuck you want to call him. Just will all the 90’s producers Premier, Pete Rock, Muggs, RZA, T-Ray, Beatminerz, Beatnuts, Buckwild, Show, Diamond etc. sampling music is TOO expensive, why do you think we don’t hear that classic BOOM BAP sampling sound anymore. Music labels don’t want to pay for sample clearances. I mean I’d like to hear some new Q-Tip production but im not holding my breath to hear some Midnight Mauraders type production….and Rick Rubin? NO, just NOOOO!
i guess yall didnt listen to the Renaissance album. sonic genius
misguided RM. like , look up what he’s done before assuming he’s just been djing and doing Tribe shows. just becuase the dude isnt on MTV doesnt mean he aint been working
@J now you know damn well these ignorant ass niggas can’t comprehend that there’s music outside of whatever top 20 list they got playing. Just let them run their mouth. They’ll be on Q-Tip’s nuts next year like they been on that shit
@ J & Com…. yeah no shit! are any tracks off of Renaissance worth a repeat listen? NOPE! shit your asses down. Just because it has “Q-TIP’s” name on it doesnt mean its going to be a good track. Ever heard his Abstract project?
I will believe it when it actually comes out.
I was going to NYU [New York University] and I was into rap music at the time, but there werent a lot of rap records coming out; and the rap records that were coming out werent representative of what the rap scene really was. I used to go to the rap clubs in New YorkId be the only white guy thereand theyd be playing rock n roll records with guys rapping over them. Like Walk This Way. Walk This Way was an original record that every rap DJ would have and use. Billy Squires Big Beat was another one. And the rap records that were coming out at the time were like Sugar Hill Records, which were essentially disco records with people rapping over them. Kids who liked rap bought them because there werent any records representative of their rap scene. So, I saw this void and starting making those records, just because I was a fan and wanted them to exist.
