Already well-known behind-the-scenes, Rick Rubin is experiencing a resurgence in mainstream media thanks in part to his work on Yeezus and starring in Jay-Z’s Samsung commercial as “Old White Guy With Beard.”
The legendary producer sat down with The Daily Beast for an extensive interview and among things discussed was his work on Kanye’s Yeezus. As you may have read, Ye called Rick at the last minute to add some finishing touches to the album.
What did the album sound like at that point?
Kind of meandering, unfocused, usually without his vocals. I assumed that the album was scheduled to come out next year. So I said, “When are you thinking of finishing up?” And he said, “It’s coming out in five weeks.” Like completely confident and fine.
He wasn’t stressed.
Not at all. I said, “I have a record coming out in November that’s a lot further along than this.” He said, “Really? What are you doing for the next five days?” I said I was going to go away. Then he said, “Please help me. Would you be open to fixing it and shaping it and finishing it off?
As a result of Rick’s assistance, there may be a sequel to the rapper’s recently released album.
When he came to you with the record, did you have a sense of what needed to be done?
Initially, he thought there were going to be 16 songs on the album. But that first day, before he even asked me to work on it, I said, “Maybe you should make it more concise. Maybe this is two albums. Maybe this is just the first half.” That was one of the first breakthroughs. Kanye was like, “That’s what I came here today to hear! It could be 10 songs!”
So there might be another Yeezus in the pipeline?
Might be.
And with just two words, the anticipation for Yeezus II: The Resurrection begins.

yeah kanye knew this album was too left field for ? so he putting out that back up album after this piece of weed plate of an album left a bad taste in ? mouths. im not trying to hear how "creative" this album was either.it's trash plain and simple.im still a fan but highly disappointed.
-
This might've been a little preemptive. It's just a rumor for now, just like there was rumors of Cruel Winter/Cruel Summer 2 but we've seen no evidence of that yet
-
I am actually shocked Rubin did work on this... wtf did it sound like before he helped Kanye out?
If Rubin couldn't fix the album it must have been ? -
"Anticipation for Yeezus II"............said no one but the 12 people on this board that liked the first one.
-
Who will be Yeezus' Judas?
-
I liked Yeezus....? , I'm listening to it right now
-
Can totally see Kanye droppin another album immediately the same way Eminem did.

Kanye's doing his best Justin Timberlake impression.
Release an album with a new sound only 2-3 weeks prior to release. Then announce a sequel album. -
yeezus is that ? , ? what y'all talkin' 'bout.

I'm bumpin the hell outta Yeezus. Dont judge me Joe Brown.
Now Cruel Summer was straight garden gnome diarrhea -
