Producer Mike Dean told Quiet Lunch that a sequel to the album is now in the works.

The two rappers recently performed live shows in the UK, where Rihanna made a surprise appearance.
West debuted his short film Cruel Summer starring Kid Cudi at the Cannes Film Festival this past week.
Jay-Z is set to write new music for an upcoming Annie remake starring Willow Smith.

Everytime they do that absurd 'diamond' hand gesture, I cringe. Hip hop was never about chasing after money, it was a poetic expression of black America on the fringes of white society. Plus, these dudes aren't even very good. WtT can't hold a candle to Undun by The Roots, or even the Shady 2.0 cypher.

hip hop is dead, this is rap. It's completely different, and there's only so many songs you can write about the man keeping you down.
