    I know it certainly looks like - judging from the notepad - that there'll be a fair few collaborators on this project however if it was up to you would you rather a more solo project or feature-heavy? Personally I think Kanye works best when collaborating with others and can bring the best out of them or apply them to different scenarios that they normally wouldn't venture into and make it work.

    Where you at with it?

    My favourite album by Ye only had a handful of features in Jeezy, Cudi, Mr. Hudson and Wayne.

    But Ye's shown the ability to construct great albums with them both being either feature heavy or the opposite.

    Personally I'd rather it be less features but I'm happy either way.

    Depends what features.. Kanye is capable of making a great album without leaning on features tho so both could be good.

    As long as the features work then it can be a worthwhile investment (see any Kanye album & Puff's No Way Out). Some albums flow perfectly just based on the lack of features, context and just how much a beast the performer was (see Illmatic & The Blueprint).

    I don't want too much features. We waited 3 years for this. I just want the maximum of Ye.
