That's how many songs West has finished, according an interview at Rolling Stone with Malik Yusef, who's signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label and often collaborates with him.

Even though some of the songs are apparently mosh-able, Yusef also revealed that West's next album won't be as abrasive as the icy synth- and drums-driven Yeezus. If you're a fan of backpack Kanye circa Late Registration, there will be something for you on his next album.

"This album is different. It's like a pair of Timberlands; like how Timberlands are not quite leather and not quite suede," Yusef explained. "It's not the smooth, slick Chicago music sound we have right now and it's not the ruggedness of just 'hip-hop hip-hop hip-hop.' We're still working like a motherf**ker. We've been all around the world [recording]."

As for what exactly a pair of Timberlands sound like, it could be what producer Evian Christ revealed he was working on for Kanye, back in April. "I've got to get home and write an Otis Redding-style beat for him," Christ said in his cover story for Self-Titled. "[West] emailed last night. He wants something that sounds a bit like Otis Redding, a bit like Mobb Deep."
