Before you enter:
Kanye West has stated that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin will be appearing on his third album, Graduation, due out later this year. Martin will contribute and appear on the song "Homecoming" which is strongly believed to be the first single for the album. West has not been afraid to step out of the hip-hop norm and recruit oddball guests such as Maroon 5's Adam Levine.
Mastermind Jon Brion, who produced many tracks on Late Registration, West's second album, is set to return for Graduation.
"It was said that because G.O.O.D. Music didn't have an office at Sony anymore, that there was no more G.O.O.D. Music," West said while on the set of Game's "Wouldn't Get Far" video. "We got GLC about to drop. Consequence is about to drop. John Legend is almost platinum. He beat the sophomore slump, we know his career is gonna last as long as he wants it to. Common's album is about to drop. The whole thing was never about marketing, it wasn't about clothing — it was about making good music. I feel we still deliver that. We come to do our job."
Kanye also briefly discussed his next album Graduation ,which is yet to have a release date.
"You remember, you didn't find out about the Nas joint until real late," he continued. "I waited till the last listening session a couple of weeks before the album came out. I played it in a room with 300 people and Nas' voice hit the track and it was like, 'Ah, man.' Another surprise might be there might not be anybody on it. There are a few rappers I really love and I would love to work with, but I'mma figure out what I'mma do for my album."
"I wouldn’t do something as cliché as a reality show,” West said in a statement. “At least give me the credit for being more creative than that."
"It’s a situational half-hour comedy," West said. "It’s fictional, and loosely based on my life."
West said he has been working on the pilot for around two years with Rick Rubin and Larry Charles, both of which are going to be highly involved with the show -- producing and directing.
"Maybe this will give me the opportunity to spazz out at the Emmys one day,” West said.
The project is still untitled and no date yet on when it will air.
Larry Charles will be taking the load of the duties. Charles is said to be executive producing and directing the series. Charles is part of the HBO family already. He was the executive producer of the first two seasons of Entourage, a Ponch favorite, and is a longtime executive and director of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Other folk involved include music producer Rick Rubin, West's manager G Roberson, and obviously West himself.
The title of the project is still untitled as well as when it will appear on your TV.
