Yeezus Part Deux?

Executive producer Rick Rubin has revealed we may be seeing a sequel to Kanye’s 6th studio album Yeezus. In an interview with Daily Beast Rick Rubin spoke on Yeezus being two albums, his first days of working on the album, and the overall sound of the album. Check the excerpts below.

Rubin on the amount of songs on the project;

“Initially, he thought there were going to be 16 songs on the album, but that first day, before he even asked me to work on it, I said, ‘Maybe you should make it more concise. Maybe this is two albums. Maybe this is just the first half,” to which Kanye excitedly said, “That’s what I came here today to hear! It could be 10 songs!”

Speaking the creation of the album and the rushed-ness;

“I assumed that the album was scheduled to come out next year…. and he said, ‘It’s coming out in five weeks.’

“To me it seemed impossible what he was asking, I remember I wasn’t feeling that well that day, and I was thinking, Is the music making me sick? I don’t feel good about this. We ended up working probably 15 days, 16 days, long hours, no days off, 15 hours a day. I was panicked the whole time.” Luckily, Kanye wanted to make an album that embraced the sounds of panic.

If there is a sequel to Yeezus Rubin simply responded, “might be.”

So there you have it, the inside scoop on the creation of Yeezus. Now on the matter of a Yeezus 2 we will just have to wait and see.
