The Popdust Files: animals, kanye west, no church in the wild, upcoming albums

Remember those bird-squawking sounds at the end of Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “No Church in the Wild”? Best part of Watch the Throne, right? Obviously. Kanye apparently agrees, since he may be embracing the entire animal kingdom with his next effort. UK rag The Sun claims ‘Ye’s upcoming album may be composed entirely of such zoo sounds, quoting an unnamed source giving the paper the scoop on ‘Ye’s “ingenious plan” for his next work: “He’s become so obsessed with roars, barks and jungle noises that he’s experimenting with putting them on a recording.”

We know this is probably a bogus, or at the very least credibility-enhanced, cheesy Sun rumor, but we don’t really care. The idea of Yeezy conducting a studio full of animals in hip-hop’s first Animalia orchestra is just too beautiful for us to resist. “No, horse, not like ‘neigh, neigh,’ like “nay, nay!!” Yo lion, you came in on the down beat again! How many times do I…giraffes!!! I said I need more fuckin’ giraffes for the bass!!” Hopefully by the end, the animals will all also be able to talk, and then Kanye develops a real friendship with the elephant, and then…I mean, are we making this movie already, or what???
