Following the film Kanye took to a Q&A with the audience and revealed some of the following:
- Mos Def has already recorded 5 tracks for his G.O.O.D. debut
- "So Appalled" is his favourite G.O.O.D. Friday release so far
- Bon Iver is on 9 tracks off the album
- The CRS project is still on the cards
- He wants to tour the new album across the world and eventually perform a show in Egypt by the Pyramids
- He is finishing up the Jay and Ye album in France at the end of this month, and they have already completed 5 tracks
- Alicia Keys performed some of the vocals on "Lost in The World"
- He was trying to sign M.I.A. to G.O.O.D. music a couple of weeks ago
- Only 1 or 2 of the G.O.O.D. Friday leaks actually appear on the album.
So at the end of the day Kanye is once again on a whole different level than anyone else in the game. Not a big surprise haha, but I'm very excited to see this video and listen to his new album (once again dropping November 22nd). Rosewood!
