05/21/07 - Kanye West Talks About Tour, New Album & More

he Streets Is Talking: News & Notes From The Underground

Kanye West

There are no dates yet, but Kanye West told us first: His new tour will be called "Glow in the Dark." His last headlining outing, the Touch the Sky Tour, was a major lighting extravaganza, so you can imagine what 'Ye is going to bring to the table this time.

West has been hanging out with some prolific artists lately, namely Japanese legend Takashi Murakami, who Americans probably know best for his work with the Louis Vuitton rainbow pattern. Murakami designed the cover for Kanye's latest record, "Can't Tell Me Nothing," as well as the new outrageous jewelry piece the Chicago native has been wearing on his chain lately.

"He did a three-minute animated piece for one of the songs," West told us recently in L.A. in regards to his new Graduation LP. "Murakami, his work has been stunning to me because pop art is really expressive, representative and expressive and emotional, and it looks like something you can do yourself. [But] you cannot do no Murakami sh-- yourself. You cannot do this at home. He has this studio out in Japan that has 30 artists working at one time. I love Japanese culture and I was always into art, and Murakami is really a god in the art world.

"I've heard people come up to him and say, 'You're becoming more godlike every day,' " West continued. "Every single that's coming out for my album, he did the artwork for the covers. ... And all the merchandising for the new album is Murakami."

Besides the release of "Can't Tell Me Nothing" last week, Kanyeezee continues to be one of the most vocals MCs in the game right now, jumping on a remix of Ne-Yo's "Because of You." ...
