Kanye West to write a book

Rapper Kanye West is reportedly set to write a new book - called 'Thank You And You're Welcome.'

The rapper, who recently beat rival rapper 50 Cent in a bitter chart battle and won the Video of the Year award for his hit single “Stronger,” wrote on his blog: "I teamed up with co-author J. Sakiya Sandifer to make my literary debut with Thank You And You're Welcome!, an entertaining volume of "Kanye-isms "-- the creative, humorous and insightful philosophies and anecdotes used in creating my path to success. It captures the same wit, playful irony, and piercing insight found abundant in my lyrics. In Thank You And You're Welcome! I deliver my personal message uncensored, without any five-second delay or media distortion. I'll post some sample pages within a week..."

Meanwhile,  Kanye is reportedly planning to work on Michael Jackosn's next album, after the 'Touch The Sky’ singer revealed: “I’m working on stuff for Michael Jackson.

“If I like a person’s outlet or what a person brings to the table, then I’ll speak to them.”
