Twitter is rapidly becoming thee place to trawl for rumors and exclusives. Don’t believe us? Try this one on for size: Talib Kweli has announced his latest collaboration via the social networking site:
“Wait in the lab with mfdoom madlib and kanye. No words”
In other words, it looks as if Kweli has teamed up with Madlib (after their brilliant album Liberation arrived in 2007), MF Doom, and Kanye West for some sort of collaboration, and the possibilities have set tongues wagging.
Of course, the timing couldn’t be better, what with fans hoping for a return to the underground for West, who faced public ridicule over the Taylor Swift incident at the VMA’s, and the fact that Madlib and MF Doom’s Q-rating is quite high right now (cough cough Madvillian).
The details don’t go beyond there, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated if we find out more.
Dear God. Please let this happen.
