Update: Looks like this rumor we reported on back around Valentine’s Day turned out to be true, according to The Huffington Post. Malik Yusef has cleared things up a bit in a Tweet, saying the track is called “I Am A God”, referencing Psalm 82, which reads:


I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.
But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”


A source told the Huffington Post that the emphasis is on the word “A”, as “We would never be so presumptuous or sacrilegious to call ourselves the supreme being.”


There you have it, folks. We don’t like to post rumors here, but when we do, it’s because the source is airtight.


2/14: We’ve heard from a pretty reliable source that Kanye West will court controversy once again with the lead single to his next album, with a song called “I Am God”. We are hearing that he will reunite with “Power” video director Marco Brambilla for another ambitious, hyper-visual video project for the single. While this is still in the rumor stages, only time will tell if it comes true.


In other Kanye album news, HitFix confirms that both Malik Yusef and The-Dream have recorded tracks for the new LP.


“He is a perfectionist, obviously. It’s harsh… He says no to a hundred things,” Yusef told Hitfix. “I can’t talk too much about it. Just remember black music, the black experience. It’s a throwback to that era,” he said, but “a distillation of what’s happening in the modern world.”


Yusef also confirms that the album will not have a heavy amount of singing, as on 808′s & Heartbreak.


“I don’t know if we’d ever revisit that amount of singing,” Yusef said.


The-Dream spoke on his work for Kanye’s record as well, saying that he’s flying to Paris to record with Kanye in a couple of weeks.


“Hopefully we can get another Grammy together,” he told Hitfix.
