Thanks, Twitter: Justin Bieber Will Record With Kanye

By Zach Dionne Posted Aug 18th 2010 03:08PM

Justin Bieber and Kanye West spent part of last weekend in a Twittery lovefest, complimenting each other's work and eventually waxing about a potential collaboration between themselves and Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon.

Now, the speculation is a reality. "It's definitely gonna happen," Raekwon tells XXLMag.com. "When you got these kinda talents merging together to do something exciting, I think it's something that's gonna make the fans check it out. I'm big fans of both of these guys. I think, at the end of the day, shorty is a sensation."

He added, "For them to even just have a conversation and just put my name in it it feels good. For him to acknowledge me it makes me feel good that the young generation is checking me out like that."

The tweet that started it all, below:

And Bieber's excited concurrence:

Kanyeezy and the Biebs spent about an hour sending laudatory tweets to each other Sunday morning, with Kanye writing things like, "Your album good @Justinbieber Playing it at my crib now" and "So bugged out me and @JustinBieber are tweeting at the same time... Social networking is pretty awesome." Bieber responded with messages like, "I'm 16 and a fan. I'm kinda hyped u are listening to my stuff. Thank u" and "what is crazy is that I play Heartless every night in my set acoustic. this convo is crazy for me. Excited 4 ur new album."

Raekwon is psyched about the collaboration for his own reasons. "It gives me a position to play a big brother in the game. He wants my assistance or whatever he can get it. I respect him, I like his style," the rapper, nicknamed The Chef, tells XXL. "We gon' make a hit. Justin got his own fan base and me and Yeezy got our own fan base and we gon' make it happen."

What do you think, folks? Hip-hop/pop collaboration of the millennium?
