Kanye West . . .Wicked Fanboy?

Just saw this online. I know next to nothing about rap music, but apparently Kanye enjoys Kristin Chenoweth's performance of Popular enough to sample it in his next album. Which does raise a few questions:

Who do you think his favorite Elphaba is? How many times has he entered the lottery? Is he too old to be in the running for Fiyero in the movie? And what will Hunter Foster say when he inevitably opens next year's Tonys with a performance of whatever track he's working on?
Vulture: Kanye Is Maybe Sampling Wicked on His New Album

Kanye West? I'm not too familiar with that name. Oh, that's right he's that creep who ruined Taylor Swift's big moment at the VMA's.

This won't help the gay rumors.

Jokes aside, the song will be a hit I'm sure. Think when Jay Z did Hard Knock Life.



Edit: From Kristin's twitter
"I just heard Kanye did a mashup with my song POPULAR from Wicked. So cool."
