    Been listening to SAAAB Stories on repeat for the past few hours. I don't even care for Wiz Khalifa, but this song is great.

      Definitely feeling this. Can't wait for Oxymoron, which also means we're closer to another Ab-Soul album, which means we're even closer to KDot's next album.
      By even closer, you don't mean this year right?

        Kanye actually does an interview, with The New York Times

        But has that instinct led you astray? Like the Taylor Swift interruption at the MTV Video Music Awards, things like that.

        It’s only led me to complete awesomeness at all times. It’s only led me to awesome truth and awesomeness. Beauty, truth, awesomeness. That’s all it is.

        So no regrets?

        I don’t have one regret.

        Do you believe in the concept of regret?

        If anyone’s reading this waiting for some type of full-on, flat apology for anything, they should just stop reading right now.

        But that is something that you apologized for.

        Yeah, I think that I have like, faltered, you know, as a human. My message isn’t perfectly defined. I have, as a human being, fallen to peer pressure.

        So that was a situation in which you gave in to peer pressure to apologize?

        Yeah.

        So if you had a choice between taking back the original action or taking back the apology, you’d take back the apology?

        You know what? I can answer that, but I’m — I’m just — not afraid, but I know that would be such a distraction. It’s such a strong thing, and people have such a strong feeling about it. “Dark Fantasy” was my long, backhanded apology. You know how people give a backhanded compliment? It was a backhanded apology. It was like, all these raps, all these sonic acrobatics. I was like: “Let me show you guys what I can do, and please accept me back. You want to have me on your shelves.”
        One of the things I thought when I heard the new record was, “This is the anti-'College Dropout.’ ” It feels like you’re shedding skin. Back then, you were like: “I want more sounds. I want more complicated raps. I want all the things.” At what point did that change?

        Architecture — you know, this one Corbusier lamp was like, my greatest inspiration. I lived in Paris in this loft space and recorded in my living room, and it just had the worst acoustics possible, but also the songs had to be super simple, because if you turned up some complicated sound and a track with too much bass, it’s not going to work in that space. This is earlier this year. I would go to museums and just like, the Louvre would have a furniture exhibit, and I visited it like, five times, even privately. And I would go see actual Corbusier homes in real life and just talk about, you know, why did they design it? They did like, the biggest glass panes that had ever been done. Like I say, I’m a minimalist in a rapper’s body. It’s cool to bring all those vibes and then eventually come back to Rick [Rubin], because I would always think about Def Jam.

        His records did used to say “reduced by Rick Rubin.”

        For him, it’s really just inside of him. I’m still just a kid learning about minimalism, and he’s a master of it. It’s just really such a blessing, to be able to work with him. I want to say that after working with Rick, it humbled me to realize why I hadn’t — even though I produced “Watch the Throne”; even though I produced “Dark Fantasy” — why I hadn’t won Album of the Year yet.

        This album is moments that I haven’t done before, like just my voice and drums. What people call a rant — but put it next to just a drumbeat, and it cuts to the level of, like, Run-D.M.C. or KRS-One. The last record I can remember — and I’m going to name records that you’ll think are cheesy — but like, J-Kwon, “Tipsy.” People would think that’s like a lower-quality, less intellectual form of hip-hop, but that’s always my No. 1. There’s no opera sounds on this new album, you know what I mean? It’s just like, super low-bit. I’m still, like, slightly a snob, but I completely removed my snob heaven songs; I just removed them altogether.

          Correct. Ab-Soul is due up after Q, I doubt his album will come out this year as we're already half way through the year, and there's no talk of it. I expect Ab-Soul's next joint to drop in early spring 2014. Kendrick's next joint could come out winter 2014/15. And that's not factoring in a Jay Rock solo album, if he chooses. Maybe they hurry it up and Soul drops his the end of this year, and Kendrick in late spring, but I doubt that. Especially not with Kendrick coming out through Aftermath now, and Em dropping an album this year. I fully expect (guarantee) KDot to be on Em's album this year, and then would put money on Em being a feature on Kendrick's next album.

          Edit:

          Oxymoron, than an Soul album, then Jay Rock. After that Kendrick's 2nd album or a Black Hippy album. So we might see Soul next spring. KDot won't drop one until 2015 then.

                    Black Hippy is kinda my thing. Big fan of all 4 of em. But they have their rotation (which sorta restarted) now of KDot, Q, Soul, Jay, then maybe a collab album, otherwise restart. And just going of their pace of previous albums, and how they are through Aftermath (ish) now, I'm just making good guesses. Guarantee I'm close though. hah

                      Its easy to say an album could or is going to come out at such and such time but there's so much more to it than that with all the politics of the industry and everything. Plus you also have to factor in the artist them self.

                        This album better be damn good. New Slaves was trash to me, so he has nine more opportunities.

                              I calculated all of that.
