Kanye West was the guest on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club this morning, during which he unloaded a whole lot of information - on that Beck incident, Taylor Swift, Drake and, most importantly, his new album.
The follow-up to 2013's Yeezus, he says, is 80% complete, and will be released as a surprise album. It will comprise "bars, songs, cookout music that just feels good. My last album was a protest to music, I was like 'I'm gonna take my ball and go home'...This album is embracing the music, joy. Being of service to the people. I just hope people like it and enjoy it."
As Fader reports, he also revealed that he'll address recent police brutality on the new album. Speaking of the song 'Wolves', which he debuted on SNL last week, he said: "The song came from a conversation me and Drake had where we were supposed to do an album together—it was supposed to be called Wolves. We said we was gonna do it, he was sending beats back and forth. I got this one record with Young Thug that I'm gonna put on the Rihanna album...It might happen because I threw that out there, but he probably be mad that I mention it on your show because he dislike y'all so much."
As for that incident with Beck at the Grammys, West admitted that he's got Beck's number, but hasn't called him to apologise yet. "I got his number and I was supposed to call, but I just keep forgetting...I felt good for him. Think of all the good stuff that happened to me in the last eight days. The person that won was Beck, because if I hadn't done that, his Album of the Year would've never been mentioned...He should win an award for what he did—Rock Album—but he shouldn't have won that award."

Another interesting thing to come out of the interview was the following: "Taylor was saying that when she was the victim, she won every award, but now that she's the powerful artist, she ain't winning any more awards." By the sounds of things, West and Swift are finally on speaking terms.
