We've reached peak
Kanye West. The Chicago rapper has
been back for little over a week, and in that time, he's managed to
announce countless albums, talk more about
global consciousness than an episode of
Neon Genesis Evangelion could, and make
controversial tweets about race.
Yesterday (April 23), 'Ye shook the world up again by announcing that a new
Nas album is releasing on June 15. He followed that message up with the revelation that he is producing all the albums he's posted about on Twitter.
For anyone keeping count, Kanye is currently producing five assignments that are all supposed to drop in an one-month length. In another world, the feat shouldn't be challenging considering that in a soul-sampling galaxy far, far away, West infamously produced
five beats a day for three summers. Yet, G.O.O.D. Music prepping five albums from artists with wildly different fanbases, budgets, and marketing needs does seem like a gargantuan task at best and an impossible undertaking at worst.
