AP: What are you releasing from your will.i.am music group?

will.i.am: The first two releases were Fergie and Macy (Gray), and then my record. Then apl's and Taboo's next, and "Black Einstein," and not the Black Eyed Peas. Oh, and I'm also doing "Madagascar," so I'll be working in the movies. I'm working on my albums. And then the Talib (Kwelis) and the Commons, and the Mariahs and the Whitneys, and the Michael Jacksons. And then I've got to run over there and do the voiceovers for "Madagascar 2." I play a hippo that falls in love with Jada Pinkett's hippo. It's awesome. And then I'm scoring the music for Hans Zimmer for it.

AP: What's going on with Michael Jackson?

will.i.am: Just working on records, making music, working on stuff for his next project. ... I'd be like, "Hey Mike, you like this?" (He imitates Jackson's voice) "It's all right, it's cool. But I think we need something a little bit bigger." OK, if you don't want it, I'll just put it over here (on my album). Ain't nothing to me, just drag the little folder to the "will "folder.

AP: Who are you looking to work with next?

will.i.am: I want to make a project called Imagine That. It's say, for example, ?uestlove from The Roots on drums, Herbie Hancock on keyboards, Stevie Wonder on lead vocals and keyboards, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers on bass, Prince on guitar. And who else? Michael Jackson on lead vocals, and one girl: Whitney Houston or Aretha Franklin. But yeah, imagine that?

Well if anybody can make that happen it's will.i.am

what a cock ring.

well it sounds very intresting to me , that are some big names for such project and it would be kick ass if he could get such sort of line up

haha shit if Santana couldn't do it
Will I am sure as hell couldn't do it
that midgits got some nerve

What is so great about this guy? I don't get it.

Me neither. I can't stand his music especially the crap he does with the BEP's.

Sounds like an awesome band once they kick out the founder.

Dude has got mad talent, he is a clever guy as well. I hated on the BEP for selling out on the last 2 albums cause Will's solos and the first 2 BEP were pretty solid.
He managed to work his way into the mainstream and slowly he is showing his skills. The production on his upcoming album is salivating to say the least. I think he now has a big enough fan base to really show what he's made up off.
He knows how to use samples well and compliments them with some great instrumentation.The drums on the new album is absolutely fabulous.
I can't belive I'm defending this guy but I'll take him over Kanye any day of the week.

The new one has more of Gnarls Barkley/Andre 3000 vibe.
