Rolling Stone recently say down with Seth Rogen to discuss his new film The Interview, which has been controversial due to its comedic portrayal of North Korea and the country's reaction to the film. The RS interview turns from current events regarding the film and asks Rogen about an odd run in he had with Kanye West. According to the interview, Seth Rogen had a chance to hear Kanye's album in full, just not as you would normally expect it. The Pineapple Express star explains (via Consequence Of Sound):
"Me and my wife had gotten some dessert and were in the lobby getting plates to bring back to our room ... And Kanye was like, 'What are you guys doing? Want to hear my new album?' So he takes us to this limo van and starts playing his album - except theres no lyrics only beats. So he raps the whole album and after each song, he stops it, like 'So what do you think?' We were in the van for 2 hours!"
"Now I realize the next person he sees that he knows is getting pulled into that van," Rogen says, laughing, "But I learned a lesson from it -which is that Kanye is seeking input at all times. Processwise, it showed an openness and a fearlessness. We started screening our movies more and in rougher versions for our friends because of that."
Kanye has always been one for doing things differently and thinking outside the box, so you can add this to his long list of Kanye being Kanye moments. Yeezeus was released in June of 2013, and we have not heard much new music from West since then besides a few teasers. His 7th studio album appears to be in schedule for some time early next year.
