Bon Iver To Appear On Nine Tracks Of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Those worried that "Monster" and "Lost in the World" would be the only Justin Vernon-ized songs on Kanye West's forthcoming album, fear not! Last night after a screening of West's 40-minute mini-film Runaway set to accompany the album's release, a Q&A with the rapper himself revealed Vernon's collaborations would appear on seven other tracks that made the album's final cut.
Will he rap? Will he become West's new go-to pop vocalist, perhaps leaving John Legend in the dirt? None of this is clear, but here are some other points of interest from the Kanye Q&A the Hip Hop Chronicle UK is reporting:
- West wants to perform outside the pyramids, but they are unavailable until April.
- West says, "Hip hop is like black semen." (Seriously!)
- G.O.O.D. Fridays is, apparently, just an exercise in the power of art.
Rumor we're starting right now: Vernon is currently on tour with his R&B side-project, GAYNGS. But, after that, is a Kanye West/Bon Iver Grammy performance on the horizon?

I'm a Kanye stan precisely because of statements like these.
Whoa, NINE of them? Damn.
Woah woah woah woah woah. Nine songs?! I think that officially makes him part of the pop cultural entity known as Kanye West. Also, when he performs outside the pyramids (which will surely be broadcast live), Kanye must be backed by Daft Punk. That's part of the contract that we, America, signed with Kanye in order to allow him to be a celebrity.
