Kanye West Rapped His New Album to Seth Rogen

Looks like you can add comedian-actor Seth Rogen and his wife to the list of lucky listeners who have gotten a chance to preview Kanye West‘s yet-to-be-official new album. While we’ve known it’s been in the works for quite some time, Kanye’s still untitled follow-up to Yeezus has for the most part, been kept quiet. Despite keeping a relatively low-profile musically as of late, there’s hardly ever a shortage of those quintessential Kanye stories of other stars recounting their hilariously outrageous experiences with the artistic genius. Check out this excerpt from a recent Rolling Stones interview with Seth Rogen who recaps one of his more recent run-ins with Kanye.

“Me and my wife had gotten some dessert and were in the lobby getting plates to bring back to our room … And Kanye was like, ‘What are you guys doing? Want to hear my new album?’ So he takes us to this limo van and starts playing his album – except theres no lyrics only beats. So he raps the whole album and after each song, he stops it, like ‘So what do you think?’ We were in the van for 2 hours!”

“Now I realize the next person he sees that he knows is getting pulled into that van,” Rogen says, laughing, “But I learned a lesson from it -which is that Kanye is seeking input at all times. Processwise, it showed an openness and a fearlessness. We started screening our movies more and in rougher versions for our friends because of that.”
