About a year ago I joked that Kanye’s Hype Williams-directed video for “Amazing,” while featuring stunning aerial shots of a certain slice of Pacific paradise, seemed mostly like the perfect way to write-off a trip to Hawaii just in time for tax season. ‘Tis the seaso for write-offs again, though it’s become apparent Kanye wasn’t just vacationing on The Island: Billboard’s packaged a tidy bundle of details on West’s forthcoming record, apparently titled Good Ass Job, for which he’s luring top-notch talent to a studio in his Hawaiian hometown of Diamond Head. What they’ve confirmed via various sources: Guest rappers include Q-Tip, RZA, and Pete Rock, with production pitch-ins from No I.D. And according to Common, Kanye and No I.D. are going after a “raw hip-hop” sound. Probably no 808s, we’ll see about the heartbreak.

808s and Heartbreak was actually recorded in Hawaii as well.
Oh that title.. guess what kids, it’s the time for the round of funt at Kanye’s offense. The crazier he gets, the more we win.
q-tip, rza and pete rock have been rumored PRODUCERS, not rappers.
how is the 808 sound not raw hip hop? as far as drum machines go, it doesn’t get much rawer…does stereogum even know what hip hop is?
Er, it wasn’t Stereogum who said that, it was Common…
they were referencing how the 808s he used on 808s and heartbreak were not raw. not raw at all.
Ahh, fair enough
I wonder if this is gonna be a follow up to Graduation or 808s and Heartbreak.
Wait. What is an “Ass Job”?
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ass+job
pretty sure I was joking.
Also, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to google search “Ass Job”.
I was really hoping he would name his new album “Fishsticks”
He told everyone this would be the album title about 7 years ago.
College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, Good Ass Job. makes sense. 808′s was not a hip-hop album.
Stereogum doesnt seem to know hip-hop anyways. which is fine. theres a million other sites for that.
shut up
He’s such a douche but I freaking love his music.
