Kanye West To Write Book

We already know that Kanye West has a way with lyrics, but now he’s trying his hand at prose. The rapper is scheduled to come out with a book next year entitled “Thank You and You’re Welcome!” co-written by Sakiya Sandifer, the Chicago-based author of “Think Think Think And Think Again.”

The book will be an “entertaining volume of ‘Kanye-isms’ — the creative, humorous and insightful philosophies and anecdotes used in creating my path to success,” Kanye wrote on his blog. “It captures the same wit, playful irony and piercing insight found abundant in my lyrics.” Kanye added: “In ‘Thank You And You’re Welcome!’ I deliver my personal message uncensored, without any five-second delay or media distortion.”

Although the hip hop star didn’t offer very many details on his book, he did report that the asking price for it will only be $10 and that sample pages will be available on of his Web site, which is already taking pre-orders for the entire work. The first 500 copies sold will be signed by West and his co-author.
