who remembers back when Kanye played "diamond are forever" for q-tip, how q and music video director mark romanek was schoolin' ye on the blood diamonds in sierra leone?
Sway: Tell me about "Diamonds (From Sierra Leone)."
West: Mark Romanek, the director that did Jay's "99 Problems," and Q-Tip both brought up blood diamonds. They said, "That's what I think about when I hear diamonds. I think about kids getting killed, getting amputated in West Africa." And Q-Tip's like, "Sierra Leone," and I'm like, "Where?" And I remember him spelling it out for me and me looking on the Internet and finding out more. I think that was just one of those situations where I just set out to entertain, but every now and then God taps me on the shoulder and says, "Yo, I want you to do this right here," so he'll place angels in my path and one angel will lead to another angel and it's like a treasure hunt or something. And I finally found the gold mine, which was the video "Diamonds (From Sierra Leone)."

I have a feeling that we're never gonna hear The Last Zulu 
It's such a shame as well because Kamaal the Abstract & The Renaissance are personal classics.

i wonder what the songs sound like that's he's done
who was doin' most of the production on it?
I remember seeing an interview where Tip said that he was handling most of the production but he had been in the studio with Kanye working on tracks. He didn't say what project those tracks were for though.

oh yeah? how long ago was this?
I think it was like a year or two ago. If I remember correctly, Busta pops up in the interview and says that him and Tip had been working on tracks together
This just reminded me that I never listened to their Abstract & the Dragon mixtape

At the 8:00 mark Q-Tip says he's executive producing Kanye's new album with Rick Rubin and he's working on his solo album The Last Zulu.
