Kanye West Rejected Twista's Request To Join G.O.O.D. Music, "He Should've Done It"

Chicago rap veteran Twista has revealed previously reaching out to Kanye West to join G.O.O.D. Music and being turned down by the rap star.

Twista said he believed West should have considered aligning him with his company.

"I actually wanted to [sign] at one point, Twista recalls of Kanye's 2008 Graduation era. "But I don't know what time of vibe Kanye had with me at that time...I mentioned that I would be getting out of my [Atlantic Records] contract and wondered if he wanted to jump down. But I don't know, I guess it wasn't a good idea for him at the time.He should've done it. He would've had 'Wetter' [Laughs]."

Last month, West added rap veteran Mos Def to the G.O.O.D. Music roster.

The Brooklyn MC and West talk about the deal and break down their musical relationship in the October issue of XXL, which comes out on Tuesday and features a Kanye cover story. And Mos Def makes an appearance on West's G.O.O.D. Friday single "Lord, Lord, Lord," along with Swizz Beatz, Raekwon and singer Charlie Wilson. Mos' decision to join G.O.O.D. Music follows the release of his last album, The Ecstatic, on indie label Downtown Records in 2009. The rapper/actor and Kanye first collaborated on the Chicago MC's College Dropout, for "Two Words," and then again on "Drunk and Hot Girls."

West's "Power" producer, Symbolyc One (S1) recently told SOHH he was working with Pusha T and other G.O.O.D. Music artists.

"I'm working with Kanye on the album," S1 told SOHH. "He's pretty much finishing that up so I've been working real close with him on that. And then also, he has a bunch of other artists and projects that he's working on for his G.O.O.D. Music roster to other outside projects and he wants me to be a part of that as well. I've been working really close with him on that, working with Pusha T on his album stuff, Musiq Soulchild and then eight joints with Talib Kweli for his next album. And then, you never know, hopefully Jay-Z and Beyonce stuff. You just never know where you're going to go."

Despite being talked about as a label, G.O.O.D. Music affiliate GLC recently explained the company's make-up.

"G.O.O.D Music isn't a label for one; a lot of people have the misconception that G.O.O.D Music is a label but really it's basically a family and like a production company. What they do is you get a distribution deal and if you're a G.O.O.D Music artist, then you come out on G.O.O.D Music and the distribution deal. Whoever I decide to do my deal with it will be through G.O.O.D Music because I'm a G.O.O.D Music artist."

Kanye West Dresses "Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" In Jewels

Grammy-winning rapper/producer Kanye West has described what fans could expect from his upcoming Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album.

West enlisted the assistance of producers like RZA and Q-Tip to create a "throwback" feel for his latest LP.

"I wanted to take it back to the essence, like the soulful people who brought knowledge--like RZA and Q-Tip. At a certain point, you need to find a better way to do it; it's like people [in basketball] who dunk and hurt their wrist and come down on their knees too hard. Your knee's gonna give out at a certain point. Some of my social and public-persona knees are starting to give out. I still want to run the games. I've just got to not get kicked up quite as hard." (Vanity Fair)

Last month, Q-Tip discussed West's state of mind in approaching the upcoming solo project.

"This album is, in a good way, going backwards. He's such an artist. He knows exactly what he's doing. When he did [808s & Heartbreaks] that was such a departure from College Dropout. But now he's stepping backwards so this album will be more of a sonic extension of College Dropout and Graduation but he's doing it with a new attitude. He's looking forward but reaching back, which is interesting. It's a calculated toe in yesterday's water if that makes any sense at all (laughs)." (XXL Mag)

West announced his anticipated album title earlier this month via his Twitter account.

Kanye West has given fans some extended (and sometimes unsettling) glimpses inside his psyche lately, from his decadent Dalí-esque video for "Power" to the pristine troupe of ballet dancers who surrounded him during his recent performances on "Saturday Night Live." So it's only fitting that the title of his next album should reflect the summation of his alternately playful and twisted soul: the record will be called "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," Mr. West wrote Tuesday morning on his Twitter account. Mr. West said the first song on the album would be "Dark Fantasy," a track produced by RZA and co-produced by No I.D. and Mr. West, and the next single to be released would be a song called "All of the Lights." (New York Times)

The project will be released in late November.

Kanye West finally confirmed on Twitter yesterday that his upcoming album will be released on November 22nd. Despite early word that the album would titled Good A** Job, Kanye tweeted that Fantasy "is and always was" the name of his fifth album. "The first song on the album is called 'Dark Fantasy' produced by The Rza co-produced by me and No I.D.," Kanye wrote. He added that some of his G.O.O.D. Friday free downloads will appear on Fantasy. (Rolling Stone)

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is scheduled to drop Monday, November 22nd.

Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Friday Track Is Outdated, Says Lupe Fiasco

Last week's Kanye West G.O.O.D. Friday release, "Don't Stop," was reportedly recorded two years ago, according to one of the song's guest stars, Lupe Fiasco.

Fiasco stated that the latest West track originated in 2008.

"We went on the Glow in the Dark tour and it was just kinda like, maybe, maybe not, let's do a record, let's see ... so, 'Don't Stop' is kinda one of the records from that creative process a couple years ago," Lupe said, adding that West's bars may have been updated. "The song is two years old. I think 'Ye verse might be a little recent but I don't know...That song is like a song that we did in the midst of being [Child Rebel Soldier] when we were actually going to put out an album and just really wanted to test records and see if we should do more records like that, or should we do more records like 'Us Placers' or ... more down-low records, up-top records. We were just trying to figure out what should we do and that was one of the experiments that was bananas."

The record was West's follow-up to last week's "Christian Dior Denim Flow."

In the latest offering in Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Friday series, supergroup Child Rebel Soldier receives a resurrection. CRS, comprised of Kanye West, Pharrell and Lupe Fiasco, has not released a track since 2007's "Us Placers." However, at the premier of his Runaway film in London, Kanye hinted that a the group was not dead. That statement seems to be confirmed with the release of their latest track "Don't Stop!"

Circa 2007, West, Fiasco and Pharrell were planning to form a hip-hop supergroup entitled "Child Rebel Soldier."

Having already released one song via an online mixtape, CRS (Child Rebel Soldiers), the hip-hop supergroup featuring Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, is hoping to find time to craft an entire album. "Us Placers," which samples Thom Yorke's "The Eraser," was performed by Fiasco earlier this month during his set at Lollapalooza in Chicago. "Now [our labels are] working it out," the artist tells Billboard.com. Whoever is going to pay is going to pay a whole h*ll of a lot. Everybody is excited, [but] 'Us Placers' is the only record we have."

West is currently preparing for the release of his upcoming Dark Twisted Fantasy LP.

Kanye West finally confirmed on Twitter yesterday that his upcoming album will be released on November 22nd. Despite early word that the album would titled Good A** Job, Kanye tweeted that Fantasy "is and always was" the name of his fifth album. "The first song on the album is called 'Dark Fantasy' produced by The Rza co-produced by me and No I.D.," Kanye wrote. He added that some of his G.O.O.D. Friday free downloads will appear on Fantasy.

Kanye West Confirms Amber Rose Break-Up, "That Was A One-Off" [Audio]

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has confirmed recent speculation that his relationship with girlfriend Amber Rose has finally come to an end.

Speaking with New York radio host Angie Martinez, West opened up about his two-year run with Rose.

"Yeah man, it was an amazing time and it came to an end," West said. "One of the greatest things that she showed me was just to be a nicer person because she was so disconnected from the concept of celebrity when I first met her...A celebrity could be talking to people crazy and everyone's used to it at the label like, 'He's wildin' out. It doesn't matter.' [Amber] be like, 'What?! You just talked to your fans so crazy right now. I'm not even talking to you right now.' ... I grew from that. I think that was the greatest growth that I got from that experience...My goal in life is to really have an amazing woman and have a family, but I think I had to go through these different things to grow...That was a one-off...I'm not trying to dive into anything unless I really, really think that I can marry this person. I look at this person and I say, 'This is how I want my daughter to be.'"

Details on their break-up hit the Internet in early July.

"They are still good friends," a source tells Us. "Kanye is consumed with recording his comeback record in Hawaii and had to shut it all off. When he's in work mode, he can't handle a relationship. He told Amber he needs to devote everything right now to his craft.... I wouldn't say it's over for good [for West and Rose.] It's always off-and-on when it's convenient for these two. He doesn't go out anymore and she loves it, so he lets her."

Rose is currently being linked with reality star Kim Kardashian's ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush.

Football star Reggie Bush reportedly has a new tight end. The Saints running back and ex-flame of Kim Kardashian was spotted getting cozy with Kanye West's former gal pal Amber Rose at AXE Lounge in Southampton over the weekend. "They even took bathroom breaks together," reported PerezHilton.com

Rose recently discussed her admiration for West.

"Honestly, Kanye saved my life, and I don't even think about what I would have been. I just think about what I'm going be,'" she said in an interview. "I don't look at myself as [a celebrity]. I'm just a dope chick from South Philly! I mean, it's crazy when fans come up to me and cry and just want a hug from me.'"

Kanye West On His Big Return, "It Takes So Much For Me & Eminem To Come Back"

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West invaded the Rolling Stone office this week to preview cuts from his upcoming solo album and explain the comeback process.

Details and footage of his latest cross-country stop hit the Internet Friday (July 30).

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.'"

Earlier this week, West visited the office of social network site Twitter.

Kanye West's tour of Silicon Valley continued. After meeting withFacebook on Tuesday, the newest celebrity to join Twitter stopped by the micro-blogging service's headquarters for a visit that included him rapping new material from his as-yet-untitled album. "I admit my first watch was a Fossil, now I'm in the Louvre looking for fossils." "Lyrically can't none of ya'll murder 'Ye 'cause y'all raps ain't got no vertebrae/ And we all know the beats is like a mix between Fergie and Jesus."

A day prior, Yeezy shocked fans by showing up at FaceBook and freestyling new material.

Remember when Kanye first debuted he repeatedly said how much he wants to get respected as a rapper? Well, by now anybody with ears for rapping can attest to Mr. West's lyricism. Thanks to continuous reports and co-signs from hip-hop heavyweights who heard tracks off Good A** Job, the anticipation for the album continues to rise. Adding fuel to the fire, this clip of Yeezy humbly spitting several verses off his upcoming LP at Facebook HQ just adds a smile to our faces. "I am the day Ice Cube meets Mike Jackson. Keep them away, huh? Something might happen." Yea, son hear it for yourself.

Following his set, West blogged about the experience.

"To all my friends at Facebook, Many times in life I've had to deal with moments of doubt. And as it's been a minute since I've performed any fresh material in front of an audience, this could've been one of those moments... but it wasn't. Your energy was a gift so electric, so genuine, that it really helped me give my best. The energy was so inspiring I had to keep going! I just hope you got as much from me as I got from you...which was everything! Love to all my fans, especially at Facebook. Kanye West."

Kanye West Freestyles At FaceBook Headquarters + Officially Joins Twitter + Drops ‘Good Ass Job’ Title

Footage of Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West freestyling records from his upcoming Good A** Job album has landed online.

In the footage, Ye is seen at social networking website FaceBook's California headquarters.

Remember when Kanye first debuted he repeatedly said how much he wants to get respected as a rapper? Well, by now anybody with ears for rapping can attest to Mr. West's lyricism.

Keep them away, huh? Something might happen." Yea, son hear it for yourself.

Song titles from Ye's performance have also been revealed.

Kanye West has been showing up in all sorts of random places including LeBron James' NBA announcement, alongside King Tut's great-grandmother, and now the Facebook headquarters. Mr. West, in a designer suit, stopped by the social networking website's Palo Alto, Calif., offices on Tuesday (July 27) to perform four songs from his fifth album, including "Mama's Boyfriend," "Lost in the World," "Chain Heavy," and "Sweat on My Face."

Rick Ross recently opened up about observing West in the studio working on the forthcoming album.

"I was just like, Wow. I listened to [Kanye's] beats, and we working on what I'm doing, but then he's in another room cooking up something ... and just the intensity that you have to have to create albums that are gonna stand the test of time for years. He's such a great producer himself, and to have a Pete Rock over your shoulder just working on a particular sound and DJ Toomp, No ID, and Nicki Minaj, I see what's going on. It's The Chronic all over. That's exactly what I said when I walked into the room: This is The Chronic, this is how it had to be."

Earlier this summer, Young Money's Drake said West's new album would be memorable.

"I'm very much looking forward to the Kanye West album because I need to be scared and inspired for my second joint," Drake told radio personality Funkmaster Flex. "That ['Power'] record just had to happen. Kanye's a genius and I'm super excited for the rest of the album because I've heard some things that people haven't heard."

Kanye West's Good A** Job is scheduled to drop Tuesday, September 14th.

Check out Kanye West performing new songs down below:



Kanye West has finally been bitten by the Twitter bug. Fresh off his visit to Facebook’s offices, the rapper has signed up for the competing social networking service.

Mr. West surprised many when he joined the Twitterati on Wednesday (July 28). Instead of using a nickname like his rap peers @LilTunechi or @RickyRozay, he opted for a handle everyone knows and recognizes, @KanyeWest. His account has been verified and he currently follows no one.

“Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley,” Yeezy wrote in one of his first tweets, later correcting himself. “Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : )”

Kanye hasn’t always taken a liking to Twitter. In May 2009, he blasted the micro-blogging service for giving its users too much information. “WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER???” he asked in one of his all-caps blog entries. “I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF.”

But maybe now he sees the benefit of using Twitter as a promotional vehicle for his new album, due September 14. Either way, Twitter just got more interesting.

Kanye West no longer wants a Good Ass Job. After much speculation, the hip-hop star has revealed that he is cooking up a new album title.

West took to his new Twitter page to answer the question his fans have been asking, what will he name his fifth album? “The album is no longer called Good Ass Job I’m bouncing a couple of titles around now,” he wrote.

He earlier announced that he would continue the college theme of his previous albums The College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation. Good Ass Job was to be the last installment in the series.

Kanye West’s fifth album is scheduled for a September 14 release.

Kanye West Hires T.I. For A "Good A** Job" [Audio]

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has recruited T.I. to assist him on his upcoming Good A** Job album, which is set to drop this fall.

According to Grand Hustle's DJ Drama, T.I. traveled to West's studio to help contribute to the project.

"He just got back from Hawaii," Drama told radio personality DJ Whoo Kid during a broadcast on Saturday (July 24) referring to T.I.. "He was out there with Kanye, working on Kanye's album. [His] movie's coming out August 27th. Takers."

Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj is also reportedly featured on the album.

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 A** 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."

Young Money's Drake recently shared his views on the rap star's forthcoming release.

"I'm very much looking forward to the Kanye West album because I need to be scared and inspired for my second joint," Drake told radio personality Funkmaster Flex. "That ['Power'] record just had to happen. Kanye's a genius and I'm super excited for the rest of the album because I've heard some things that people haven't heard."

Earlier this year, G.O.O.D. Music's Big Sean revealed that West's new album will hit stores in September.

"September 14, 2010 My album Finally Famous x Kanye West album Good A** Job x Kid Cudi album Man on the Moon pt 2 RT #GOODMUSIC," he wrote on Twitter.

Check out DJ Drama announcing T.I. on Kanye West's album down below:

Drake Says Kanye West's New Album Will "Scare & Inspire" Him [Video]

Drake has said he hopes Kanye West's upcoming Good A** Job album will give him a reason to be scared and inspired.

Drake said West's new album will also motivate his Thank Me Later follow-up.

"I'm very much looking forward to the Kanye West album because I need to be scared and inspired for my second joint," Drake to radio personality Funkmaster Flex. "That ['Power'] record just had to happen. Kanye's a genius and I'm super excited for the rest of the album because I've heard some things that people haven't heard."

Last night, an alleged tracklisting from West's album leaked online.

D*mn, the internets are a mofo. that is all....No, wait, that is not all. Ok, so this screengrab of Kanye's album tracklisting surfaces. This means that someone has managed to hack into presumably Hype Williams' network. That means that the entire album may be in their hands as well. Mark my words, if the entire Kanye West album leaks months early, not via an email hack, but a private network hack....I think this will be a watershed moment for music piracy and online security.

Drake's labelmate Nicki Minaj is reportedly featured on Good A** Job.

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.

"I've never been so moved by a person's entire career. He's the guy I'll tell my kids about. His genius is to be feared."

Drake - MTV Shows

Free Tunechi: Lil Wayne's 'Nino Brown Story 3' Screens In New York + Dropping EP In September + Featured On Kanye West’s “Good Ass Job” Album

MTV Shows

For Lil Wayne, you have to do it big. On Thursday night in New York City, DJ Scoob Doo unveiled his DVD "The Nino Brown Story 3" for friends, the press and a few members of the Young Money family.

This is no ordinary street DVD that you just drop off at the mixtape shop. "Nino 3" is an event worthy of a screening. And if you thought you saw Wayne unfettered in the first two, the third "Nino" installment will surprise you.

One of the film's highlights is Wayne's reaction to Drake when he hears a verse from "Over" for the first time. In the scene, the two are freestyling in front of a green screen on the set of Drizzy's "Miss Me" video.

" 'Bout to go Thriller, Mike Jackson on these n---as," Drake raps. "All I need's a f---ing red jacket with some zippers/ Super good smiddoke, a package of the swishers."

"Stop," Wayne yells in admiration, as if to say Drake's line was too good.

"I did it overnight, it couldn't happen any quicker," Drake continues. "Y'all know them? Well, f--- it, me either/ But point the biggest skeptic out, I'll make him a believer/ It wouldn't' be the first time I done it/ Throwin' hundreds when I should be throwin' ones."

Wayne, with a smile on his face yells, "Stop! You should be throwing ones, man."

"He believed in me like no one believed in me," Drake says later in the doc, describing how his mentor put him down with the team shortly after his run on "Degrassi: The Next Generation" was over and his money started drying up. The 23 year-old adds that Wayne understood him when almost no one else did.

"For that I owe you my life," Drake affirms.

"It's just a short 'see you later,' " he says about Wayne's jail time. "I love you with all my heart. ... Young Money until they kill me. I bet they can't kill me, so it's Young Money forever."

The doc goes from Young Money to even younger money, as we see Wayne meeting Justin Bieber backstage at this year's Grammy Awards. The 16-year-old tells Wayne he's one of his favorite rappers, and to prove it, the teen spits a verse from "A Milli," censoring himself so he doesn't have to curse on camera.

"Nino 3" also takes viewers into Wayne's Miami mansion, where we see he doesn't wear any of the same clothes twice. He shows off his sports memorabilia collection, his Andy Warhol gem and his BB gun.

"The Nino Brown Story 3" comes out this summer and will be available on DJScoobDoo.com and other outlets. And Scoob already has footage for the next DVD.

" 'Nino Brown 4' will be Tha Carter IV," Scoob promises. "You get to see Wayne making the album."

Great news Wayniacs, Vibe has announced that Lil Wayne will be dropping a new EP on his birthday, September 27. The EP is titled “I’m Not A Human Being” and will feature all new material by Weezy. Wayne’s manager Cortez Bryant told Vibe that the upcoming EP will serve as the prelude for Tha Carter IV. You can read more of what Tez said after the jump as well as Tunechi being featured on Kanye’s “Good Ass Job” album.

“I’m putting out a Wayne album called I’m Not A Human Being and I’ll probably drop it on his birthday, September 27,” says Cortez Bryant, Lil Wayne’s co-manager and Young Money CEO.

According to Bryant, the album will be an EP of all new Wayne material to serve as the Carter IV prelude. Fans are also warned not to expect any marketing and promotion bells and whistles.

“We not about to roll out no three month set up,” says Bryant. “I’m not even putting it out in stores. We just gonna put it out virally and maybe package it up for Christmas. Give ‘em a hard copy later for fan appreciation.”

As if the EP isn’t enough, we have more exciting news. Weezy will be featured on Kanye West’s highly anticipated album “Good Ass Job” along with fellow Young Money artist Drake, Jay-Z, and Eminem. Supposedly three of these artists will be on one song together. Could we be seeing a “Forever” part 2 ? We will see on September 14th when “Good Ass Job” drops.
