Kanye West Reportedly Working on New Michael Jackson Album

Thursday Oct 11 11:54 AM CDT posted by xxl staff

kanye-west.jpgKanye West is reportedly set to contribute to pop legend Michael Jackson’s upcoming comeback album. “I’m working on stuff for Michael Jackson,” West recently told London based tabloid The Sun. “If I like a person’s outlet or what a person brings to the table, then I’ll speak to them.” While it is unclear what role ‘Ye will play in the King of Pop’s first new album since 2001’s Invincible, it’s likely Jackson is looking for some of the Chicago native’s signature production. Jackson’s project is shaping up to have a noticeable hip-hop influence. Earlier this year, will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas told Billboard he was doing “a lot of talking on the phone, a lot of brainstorming” with Jackson. Singers Akon and Chris Brown are also rumored to be contributing to the LP.

I’m still a fan of mike’s music.
yes he did some fucked up shit,he’s human but when he gets into the studio or on stage,the man can still do the damn thang.
mike gonna be just like james brown,
still performing at 60!
will.i.am has become one of the nicest producers and kanye is still that nigga.
that explains how he got the sample of “P.Y.T.” for his “Good Life” song.
i can’t wait for this album.
maybe he’ll do something with Jay-Z again.
ya’ll forgot,he did do a song with Biggie!

Chicago Papii is a fool who hasn’t heard DP3 snippet. Catch it on hiphopdx.com. XXLMag.com kinda lost because they couldn’t get that shit first. BTW American Gangster is fire, and it COULD beat MJ. MAYBE.

Overhyped bandwagon of Michael the molester here we go, Mike hasn’t had any hits in years and he should bring his old school shit back with old school producers and real instruments/choirs if anything.

This fucker if more fucked than Britney but he will always sell cause he has a fan base of retards that still think he’s in jackson 5 or the Thriller erra when he could sing and dance plus a billion kids in asia and eroupe that don’t no no better they just hop on the wagon for a ride.

I mean this character is like 50yo now, can’t dance like he did, so much surgery his voice changed looking like a damn reptile with two slits for a nose and still has his kids walking around in fucking masks and who knows what else he does to them other than hanging them off balconies.

Get off Mikes pussy this faries dun washed up years ago and is still a possible child molester, he’s to fucking stupid to explain himself so I have to assume it’s true, word to Malcally Kalkan and never never land, extra fruit cakes.(no pedifile)
