U2 Recording With Kanye West

Sorry if this has already been reported elsewhere, but I just got Rolling stone in the mail and the "Smoking Section" sidebar to the Grammy coverage has this tidbit:

"At The Grammys, Bono Told us that Kanye West was 'an inspiration' and that when they are on tour in Australia and New Zeland, they will do some recording together"

 

[LMP]

"Kanye: I AIN'T SAYIN SHE A GOLD DIGGER, BUT SHE AIN'T MESSIN' WIF NO BROKE-BROKE

Bono: AND SHE KNEELSSSS CUZ I WANT HER SOUL NOWWWWW

Edge: GOLD-GOLD-GOLD-GOLD-GOLDDIGGIN'

*KANYE GRUNT*
Kanye: BETTER KNEEL RIGHT GIRL, CUZ WHEN HE LEAVE YOU HE LEAVE YOU FOR A WHITE GIRLLLL"

that's pretty much what the song would be like between Kanye and U2, except Larry doesn't shoot himself in the head in the corner.

This is the worst idea I have ever heard besides the song "Stop (The Poverty)"

 

[JCOSTER]

bad idea

 

[Lancemc]

I'd be interested in hearing it as a one-off charity collaboration of something along those lines. As long as it's original material...

 

[XHendrix24]

Awesome news.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Why would Kanye want to be less creative?

 

[doubleU]

Great news.

if U2 is gonna collaborate with a rapper, it should be Mos Def or Outkast, I'd be down with that, but I think Mos would better suit U2.

Wyclef Jean was great w/ The Edge and Bono

and I like the Mos Def/OutKast idea too

 

[If you shout...]

Kanye West = The Shit

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

I'd almost like to see Kanye produce a track or two on the next album

 

[LMP]

He really would be a breathe of fresh air, very similar to the song rumored to have been produced by Dr. Dre

So the hip-hop rumor may have been sorta true?

 

[catlhere]

U2 and Kanye making a track together? I've died and gone to heaven.

Kayne has an amazing ear for music. Just listen to the samples he uses on Touch the Sky and Gone. Grade A stuff right there, the man knows melodies and hooks. If they collaborate, it's sure to be something special. Hopefully it will come out good if the rumor is true. And more importantly, hopefully it will be embraced and given a chance. But looking at some of the other threads about Kanye, that sure won't happen here.

???

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

that would be awesome

 

[julianamendoza]

different, at least... it's always nice to see the boys innovate.. let's hope for the best

I also remember a Spin article from 1993 where Bono said U2 were going to record with R.E.M.

Still waiting for that record.

[zoopop]

What if U2 decided to something really off the wall with Kayne?

Like have Larry bust a flow.........super

 

[Canadiens1131]

 

[Catman]

Pfft... I actually like this idea!

I'm really interested to see how something like this turns out. I hope Bono is featured on Kanye's next album

 

[ZeroDude]

Me>>>>>>>>Bono>>Kanye>>>>>>>>>>You

'Cause notning says street cred like Boner in your tracks.

Why should fans (Interferencers) be excited by this news. All the collaborations with hiphop artists that U2 has done (haven't heard Mary J Blige's joint stuff yet) have been pretty bad or unexciting. Remember the Wyclef collaboration with Bono. Yuck! The only thing saving that song was the fact that it was for a good cause. Edge's work with Wyclef was also forgettable as well. Remember when Pras used some U2 as a sample... LOL, people on this forum were bashing it and rightly so IMO. How is Kanye going to be any different? It would be interesting if they did something new and different but I have doubts. Kanye is also a mediocre rapper so him adding a rap to a song won't add anything IMO.


I'm not usually negative about these type of collaborations BUT the past hip hop collaborations have NOT shown me that U2 and Kanye union would go well.

I'm still waiting for the collaboration with J. Lo

Not one of those examples was a true collaboration between U2 and a hip hop artist.

The Wyclef thing was already a song that Wyclef wrote and recorded, he re-recorded it with Bono throwing in a few lines.

The Wyclef Edge thing was just a one off live show.

And the Pras thing with a sample? Um yeah who cares, it was a sample.
