Sway catches up with Kanye West to talk about his upcoming (rap) album; in which he says the lyrics are promised to be awes-mazing! Check the video above, with some choice quotes below…
I will say, Kanye has been killing everything he touches as of late. I’ definitely anticipating the new album.

is the new trend to hate & deny legends? smh
Myth_Seeker said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Well his lyrics aren’t untouchable (huge Kanye fan saying that) but he’s been absolutely killing his guest spots as of late.

…haven’t had the opportunity to check out the video just yet, on account, I’m in the office; how’aire, in noting that it’ll be another ‘rap’ (infused with lyrics) album, I too, am slightly intrigued.
He’s not the most amazing lyricist that I’ve ever heard in my lifetime, however, he is a pretty interesting character.

Kanye needs to redeem himself and get off the autotune but that shit ain’t gonna happen anytime soon SMFH…..just let the lyrics and beats take over our ears, not the autotune.

Just a thought, I remember him saying he was gonna tone the ego down after the whole South Park episode lol. What happened to toning it down?
Tommy said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 2:09 pm

@ esbe
I have to disagree about 808s. I like Kanye but I just couldn’t get into 808s with the autotune saturated all over the album.
Shady Universe said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 2:39 pm

Yo kanye has fell off mightily on his mc game. His guest spots been all pop shit. He needs to talk alil junk maybe it’ll get em back on that dope shit stead of the boo hooing he been upta.

Shady Universe, you gotta get off the whole autotune thing its old news, we all realize a lot of people dont like autotune. How a persons voice sounds doesnt make or break an album, you should know considering Em made a whole album sounding like he hadnt blown his nose in the past five years.
ok said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 3:31 pm
im proud of you admitting his lyrics arent untouchable tommy, i remember a few months ago you were saying you stan for ye and cudi… haha
im looking forward to this album… im laughing at him talking about he doesnt write his lyrics down tho
Truth said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
”The more niggas said they didn’t write down lyrics
The more it started to sound like they didn’t”

i started to quote that. thought people might not be up on those 15 mins of fire
Truth said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 4:15 pm
@realtalk82
-Magic Man (track with Yusef, John legend and i think Common)
-Ready To Go (track from Scratch’s CD)
-Big Screen (GLC, had an ill verse from Ye)
-Poker Her Face (now called Make Her Say or something, track with CuDi and Common)
-Digital Girl (still kinda auto-tuney but his verses were good. from Jamie Foxx’s CD)
-We Fight/We Love Remix
-King (Teriyaki song w/Big Sean)
@Truth
lol, well they are still some of my favorite “rappers” around right now but im not gonna front like they are the best MCs because thats a lie. i just enjoy their music more than most.

lazerguncarrier said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
@ ok
How is autotune old news??? More artists are jumping on the bandwagon singing making millions while at the same time making real artists who can do it naturally look like shit by the success and credit and you can’t compare Em’s voice to autotune considering Em has always had some kind of voice for Slim Shady. Em has nothing to do with this. And no, I won’t get off about the autotune cuz I’m against the usage of it. I’m not gonna fold on something I believe in and that’s hard work. Blood, sweat, and tears.
Shady Universe said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
LMAO @ dudes laugh at the end! I gotta feeling this next album is bout to be his best so far if he doesnt try to make it too artsy and futuristic n shit, but no song is touching last call..period.
Quen'a said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Damn Kanye is one cocky dude…and yeah cosign to Sway bein like damn this dude is an asshole…
Ha but Kanye comin with good shit lately and one song dudes left out was that “Wheelie Shit” snippet…that was a sick verse

chris said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Such an overacted lyricist. He spends albums talking about Loiu Votton, clothing, models and an occasional track where he complains about his life and the media. Wow! Prolific. There’s no big competition so he feels like he’s that nigga when he is by default. I know I’m gon get tons of hate but I’m just speaking my mind.

Pssssst said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 6:40 pm
After watching the video and remember several other interviews he had, I’m convinced he has a disorder of some sort. I am not dissin him… I saying on some real honest shit it seems like he’s out of touch some times. They say narcissism sometimes may seem as a disorder to some people because of the major insecurities that comes with being narcissist.
I’m not sure if he’s narcissist but I’m definitely convinced that he has some sort of personality complex. Something is very wrong with this dude.
SHOWMAN3000 said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 6:50 pm
@Shady Universe
What I meant was your complaints about autotune are old news, especially when most of the ill shit Kanye has come out with lately is autotuneless. And the only reason I brought up Em is because you’re obviously a big fan, and Em is someone who uses a annoying accent that at times is harder to listen to then autotune.

Michael Jordan = The Greatest

Kanye West = Like Top 20 All Time Hip Hop Artists

Oh and ShadyUniverse your boy is straight homo considering it came out today that he agreed to let Sascha Baron Cohen 69 him on live television.

@ SHOWMAN3000
I agree with u on the whole “disorder” thing bout Kanye but if u dont think Kanye West is one of the most talented Hip Hop artist in the game then i just dont kno wat 2 say..he is def not the best lyricist but he makes outstanding music..i wonder if u really listened 2 evry Kanye album..u cant overlook talent like his even if he is a asshole
Big_E said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Kanye is on legnd status like honestly who is really touvhin this cat
4 classic albums yes 808′s was a classic it was a work of art if you cant see that then your just narrow minded
he’s killing the fashion game,he’s killing the feature game and on top of that he probally has the best label in the game g.o.o.d music the whole roster is fire.he’s cocky but he has every reason to be because this cat never falls short when it comes to his material
redd said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 7:36 pm

Theo Zissou said this on June 2nd, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Um….no. I just can’t take Kanye seriously. No shots to him or his fans cause I love his productions, but I personally find him/his voice/his style freakishly annoying.
He’s in my Top 10 Producers but Top 50 lyricists.
