The record producer says the rapper has enough material
from their recent recording sessions to make a sequel.
G.O.O.D Music mogul Kanye West might do a Justin
Timberlake, that is, release two albums within a single year. Like JT, Yeezy
apparently has many other songs that didn't make the cut in his
recently-released studio album "Yeezus", enough to make a sequel, as
revealed by the album's co-executive producer Rick Rubin.
"Initially, [West] thought there were going to be 16
songs on the album. But that first day, before he even asked me to work on it,
I said, 'Maybe you should make it more concise. Maybe this is two albums. Maybe
this is just the first half.' That was one of the first breakthroughs,"
the Def Jam Records founding producer said. Asked whether that would mean a
second LP "Yeezus" will be released, Rubin answered with an
indefinite "might be."
If ever they do come up with a second installment of the
much-talked about album, Rubin would most likely want to have more ample time
putting it together as opposed to all the cramming they did on
"Yeezus". The veteran record producer revealed how he and West went
into panic mode, trying to finish the album given that the rap superstar
approached him with only five weeks to go before it was supposed to hit the
stores.
With "three and a half hours of works in
progress," Rubin and West worked "probably 15 days, 16 days, long
hours, no days off, 15 hours a day" just so they could flesh out the
album, eventually narrowing down the track list from the initial plan of 16
tracks to the final version with 10. The schedule was said to have been so
tight, West was even writing the lyrics to two of the tracks the night before
the album was set to debut.
