After releasing My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy all the way back in 2010, Kanye West never actually toured for it - instead, Ye waited until after the release of Watch the Throne and toured with Jay-Z for that album. 

Things are different now, however, and one of the producers on West's newest album has now confirmed that Kanye will tour in support of Yeezus.

Mike Dean, a Grammy-winning producer who handled nine of MBDTF's 13 tracks, produced two songs on Yeezus: Hold My Liquor" and "I Am A God." In a question-and-answer session on the website Reddit, Dean was asked, "Will there be a Yeezus tour? Wll you be one of the backing performers during the tour?"

Dean's response? "Yes and yes."

Kanye will likely be coming through Chicago, since this is his hometown and all. Where do you think he'll play? A big stadium show at Soldier Field or the United Center, or a smaller venue like the Metro? Let us know in the comments!

Light skin versus dark skin has been a prevalent issue within the African American community, that some may argue, originated from the slave masters favoring the light skin slaves over any other shade of black.

The picture of Mariah Carey depicted as a slave from the upcoming movie, The Butler, has caused a lot of controversy, over the issue that is apparently still relevant today.

People are saying that Mariah is not dark enough to be depicted as a field slave in "the historical accuracy of the film."

Hmmm, what are your thoughts of Mariah Carey playing this role? Are people so narrow minded that they believe that only dark skin African Americans could work in the field? Or do you agree with the backlash of Mariah's depiction in her role?

Two of the biggest hip hop moguls in the business are both coming out with new albums; Kanye with Yeezus and Jay-Z with Magna Carta. Kanye's new album Yeezus hasn't even been properly released yet, but it's stirring up quite a controversy. "Yeezus" seems like it's going to be the type of album that tells a story of everything Kanye has dealt with.  This album definitely isn't for the common everyday music listener.   

Kanye is doing everything on his own terms this time around. With controversial songs like "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves," he's definitely making this album one to remember. You can expect to get a lyrically artistic experience when listening to Yeezus.  

Just remember you won't get a commercial friendly album this time around from the infamous Kanye.

However, Kanye's pal Jay-Z's upcoming album Magna Carta is considered to be the complete opposite of "Yeezus." An advertising spot for Magna Carta was released during the NBA finals. Samsung has reportedly purchased the first million copies of the album and will release it early to certain lucky users of the Samsung Galaxy III, S4, and Note devices. In the commercial Jay-Z is seen working with famed producers Timabaland, Pharrell, and Swizz Beats. 

Jay-Z's Magna Carta is already being percieved as a album for all popular music fans to enjoy, while Kanye's Yeezus is going to be for selective ears only.

Which one would you choose?
