Despite hitting a commercial iceberg with recent album ‘Yeezus’, rapper Kanye West remains one of Hip-Hop’s most titanic forces.
As such, anticipation for his follow-up project is at fever-pitch and looks set to intensify after his revelation today about its lead single.
Details after the jump…
We previously reported that the controversial MC features a-front of the August issue of GQ Magazine. And while the accompanying fashion spread was engaging, it’s West’s words that brought the most titillation.
For, when quizzed about the direction of his next album, he said:
GQ: What does that mean in terms of putting the new record together? Do you want the pendulum to swing back and do something more pop, like Twisted Fantasy or Graduation?
Kanye West: I think just my usual pattern is like that. It’s like a pendulum. The pendulum gains momentum by swinging in the other direction. Even lyrically, I think about certain lines that I say on my new single, which is called “All Day,” that usually Jay would say, but Jay’s not on there. So I say, All day, *****, it’s Ye, *****. Shopping for the winter, it’s just May, *****. Ball so hard, man, this **** cray, *****. You ain’t getting money unless you got eight figures. Right? Jay would have said that. And then eventually I would have came in with, like, whatever I come in with. But the balance of a meal is that when people walk in, they want water first. People definitely weren’t getting water first on Yeezus. I do fight with myself to say, “Keep fighting.” But also, you know, you can’t win every single fight. It’s a long war, and if you’re out there trying to, like, blow up every single building, you won’t win the war
Exciting!
If indeed due this year (as widely suspected), the single and LP signal the onset of blockbuster release season. We can’t wait.

I like Kanye always have. I wonder tho if people will be feeling him now that he married a kartrashian.
I support interracial relationship. And you? If you are single and open to look for interracial partners,then don’t miss it. All members in this group believe Interracial relationship. That is –► ____ “MixedPartner.C❤m “….. ___~
Why not google it and get more information about it? You can google-►Mixed Partner
Ok I need for him to create a Kanye dictionary because I don’t understand half the sh*t he says
If it’s anything like MBDTF,I’m here for it. Yeezus finally grew on me but it’s still his most disappointing to date.
the Legend is back,i didn’t liek every song on Yeezus though.but MBDTF and back is all me.
Yes!!!!!, my fav is coming!
Yawn. Nobody is here for Miss Kanye Kartrashian.
I see you mr West….. He best not drop his album same
Day as Nicki I’d be hella mad lol
why would nicki be mad, she wasn’t when they both drop there albums the same time, MBDTF and PinkFriday. please do your research.
I know that you r*****, that’s why I’d be hella
Mad if it happen again, do ur research!! Cause she didn’t get the #1 position that time, was weekend after h**.
He’s a big mouth that needs to shut up.
I hope that he’s done going through whatever it was he was going through and he’s ready to give us some good music. All his acting out, imaginary issues he thinks we have with his interracial relationship and abstract creative propaganda rhetoric he’s giving is VERY exhausting. As a fan, I just want my Ye back. Yeezus is a n** case and I’m not here for that
His music with the exception of
“Watch The Throne” has been BS
since “808’s”. Not hear for any
of his new material, especially after
“Yeezus”
OMG He’s coming back!!!!! God I love it when our most creative black artists comes out with new music. Kanye represents how amazing & how far Urban artist can go if they open there minds & start thinking about the world they live in & tap in to that energy of conciseness. And now that he’s in a better place Mentally I hope he promotes to the GODS like only Kanye can. Can some body say VMA’s?????? Lol
Hoping Kanye brings it this go round.
