The Louis Vutton Don
 The College Dropout finally got to put on his graduation cap and
tassel. On
Thursday Kanye West donned commencement-ceremony headgear in jest at
a surprise
platinum party held in his honor at the club Nocturne.
Besides shipping 1 million units of his own project, West had even
more reason
to poke his chest out in pride. He'd just finished the production
on "Talk About
Our Love," the first single from Brandy's as-yet-untitled upcoming LP.
Atlantic Records isn't divulging much information on the record,
except to note
that West raps on the song and that it will hit the radio around the
first week
of April. Besides West, Brandy has also worked with producers
Timbaland and
Walter Millsap on her album.
Meanwhile, Kanye is keeping busy with his other peers. "I Want You,"
a record he
produced for Janet Jackson, has hit the radio. The "Louis Vuitton
Don" is also
in the midst of trying to solidify a label home for his imprint, Very
Good
Music. His stable of artists will include Common, GLC, Consequence
and John
Legend, all of whom appear on The College Dropout.
At West's shindig in NYC on Thursday, the Chicago native was in top
form, giving
two speeches and rapping "Jesus Walks," "Slow Jamz" and "Through the
Wire." The
beatmaking MC was originally under the impression that he was
attending a party
for Damon Dash.
West was caught off guard when Joe Budden, Christina Milian and
several
employees from Roc-A-Fella and Def Jam were there to help him
celebrate the
success of The College Dropout.
The next single off the lauded opus will be "Jesus Walks." West has
already
filmed part of the track's video.
