Justin Vernon (“Bon Iver”) Featured on Kanye’s New Album
Aug13/2010
"The rumors are true. And then some. Bon Iver mastermind Justin Vernon laid vocals down on 'at least 10 songs' during three separate week-long trips to record with Kanye West in Hawaii earlier this year. While it's unclear how many of those tunes will actually make Kanye's forthcoming record-- due November 16-- at least one, 'Lost in the World', seems to be a lock. In fact, the track-- which features newly recorded vocals by Vernon as well as a prominent sample of his Auto-Tuned song 'Woods'-- could very well be the as-yet-untitled album's next single, according to a Kanye Ustream broadcast that aired last week."

US Magazine : Kanye to Perform at MTV Music Awards?
Aug10/2010
"A year after infamously interrupting Taylor Swift on stage, Kanye West is set to return to the MTV Video Music Awards, UsMagazine.com has learned.
A source tells Us West, 33, is performing on the show, airing Sept. 12. (A rep for the rapper and MTV had no comment.)
The Grammy-winning rapper's untitled fifth studio album is expected to drop this fall. He debuted a video "painting" for the first single, "Power," on MTV last Thursday, and a follow-up single is also expected to be released in the next few weeks."

The Making of “Power”- Marco Brambilla
Aug04/2010
Artist Marco Brambilla gives a sneak peak at Kanye West's upcoming video project for "Power," which will debut Thursday on MTV.
Kanye is more connected to the art world than other artists, so I thought this would be an interesting opportunity to work with someone who really understands how far you can push things and how experimental you can be. A lot of people will tell you they want to do something experimental but it becomes commercial. I thought Kanye would let me be true to my vision. I've never done a music video and one of the first things I said to Kanye was that I'm not interested in making a music video, but if we want to work on something that's experimental, I can definitely do that because I really connected to that song.

KanYe Visits Rollingstone and Plays New Material
Jul30/2010
"Kanye West hosted an incredible, nearly two-hour Town Hall-style meeting at Rolling Stone this afternoon, where he played songs from his fall album, jumped up on a board room table to spontaneously rap, and fielded questions about everything from his diet ("Eating celery is not hip-hop!") to his Italian internship at Fendi to the craziest thing he's ever bought (an antique fish tank). Watch exclusive video of his surprise visit above.
West says the vibe of his new record is positivity, acknowledging that he's made mistakes in his life. Adding that he believes great art doesn't have to come from dark places, he said, "I feel like [now] I can be a vessel for good will and energy." Dressed in a tailored charcoal gray suit, black wayfarer-style sunglasses and lace-less Dries Van Noten shoes, West opened up his laptop and fired through nearly a dozen new tracks plus snippets of unfinished ones. He played the full version of "My Chain Heavy" (the racially charged song he debuted a cappella at Facebook earlier this week), which was anchored by an old-school beat with a spacey whistle hook. Other songs featured some of Kanye's most adventurous and experimental music yet: heavy beats, cellos, sparse piano lines, fuzzed-out electric guitar solos, and spooky sci-fi melodies.
After gesturing for all the office's interns to join him and ask questions, West said he'd love to work with Lauryn Hill ("she's last of a dying breed") and Thom Yorke, made frequent references to Anchorman, Dodgeball and Semi-Pro, and joked that Twitter was designed with him in mind. "Rock stars just get scared and just run away from popular culture," he said. "It takes so much for me and Eminem to come back and embrace [it] and say, 'You know what? We have to deliver this on a major level to make a difference."

Power Video: Coming Soon!
Jul29/2010
"In a coming video for his single “Power” that was created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade
The video is planned to be posted on Mr. West’s Web site some next week"

Kanye Enlists Nicki Minaj For New Album
Jun30/2010
BET’s Executive Vice President of Entertainment and Music Programming Stephen Hill was one of the lucky few invited to hear Mr. West’s eagerly-anticipated new project. “He’s got a track with Nicki Minaj that’s so dope,” he exclusively revealed to Rap-Up.com. “You won’t believe it when you hear it.”
The executive has heard four cuts from the album, tentatively titled Good Ass Job. “He comes back unapologetic and his performance [at the BET Awards] was stellar, absolutely stellar,” he said.
Hill described the direction as more reminiscent of the rapper’s first three albums. “It’s less like 808s & Heartbreak and more like Graduation.

DJ Premier Talks Working With Kanye
Apr30/2010
Did “Find Your Love” — the new Kanye West–produced Drake song that sounds exactly like 808s & Heartbreak — lead you to believe that Kanye’s new album would be a retread of his last one? Fear not: D.J. Premier, taking a break from speaking on the unfortunate Guru situation, provided a preview into the tentatively titled Good Ass Job, and just about promises no more singing.
"I'm working with Kanye. He reached out to me like, ‘Yo, you at the studio?’ He came by at 8 p.m. and didn’t leave until three in the morning. We were drinking Grey Goose and just bugging out. It was me, Kanye and Showbiz, from Showbiz & AG talking about the whole industry…He told me how he wanted this album to be really boom-bap, hard, hard beats.” “He said, ‘No electro Preem, I swear no electro [Laughs].’ ‘Ye is still that crazy dude he’s always been. He’s really focused on making this album raw. So I gave him a banger and he said he wanted two more on top of that one. I’m giving him two more this week."
If you’re keeping track, Primo is the fourth nineties hip-hop legend — along with Pete Rock, RZA, and Q-Tip — reportedly working on Good Ass Job, which Kanye is now recording in his Diamond Head, Hawaii, studio. Or maybe they're just covering Illmatic?
