Kanye West’s second album hasn’t even come out yet, but he’s already got a release date ready for his third LP and a title set for the fourth. West himself hasn’t done too shabbily with his present professions, excelling as a producer, label CEO and hip-hop performer. Since his rapping came to the forefront, he’s emerged as one of genre’s most successful artists – and admits that he may have occasionally tooted his own horn louder than some people would have liked. “I talk so much sh—, of course you ask, ‘Oh man, can he do it again?'” Kanye said, standing on a small stage at Sony studios for his Late Registration listening session. If you remember the historic listening session of 2004, you know that he takes pride in sharing his art with listeners. This time he did so on a larger scale, with people like Jay-Z, Talib Kweli and L.A. Reid in attendance. West played his album for over 300 people, told the story behind each track and even held a question-and-answer session afterwards.
