Why do you say this? I thought they recently performed a song together. Not sure what, though. And I heard another collaboration album was in the works, but that there was no real evidence that it would necessarily be a WTT sequel.
Kanye isn't in to retreading the same old ground anyway. WTT had a certain theme to it, lyrically and musically. If was triumph over adversity, and reflection on what adversity meant to Ye and Jay. Jay loves sequels, clearly, but WTT 2 would probably have to be a massive jump forward, or at least to the side, from the original for Kanye to have any interest, I'm sure.
Besides, the media has a long history of jumping to radical and inaccurate conclusions about their relationship; ever since Kanye became an artist of roughly the same level of popularity, it's been a go-to topic for desperate rumor mill bloggers with nothing else to write about. Personally I would bet the two have never been quite as close or quite as distant as people want to believe.
Jay said very positive things about Yeezus, and Kanye hasn't said anything negative about Jay as far as I know. But maybe you're right.
I just hope that they're willing to record together, because if Ye is truly making a "Born in the USA" to Yeezus's "Nebraska" then it just wouldn't do to not have a few verses from Jigga on there.
