If you can't get enough of hearing Kanye West talk, you can pick up a book of "Kanye-isms" co-written by the rapper and philosopher J. Sakiya Sandifer.

Thank You And You're Welcome was previously only available through West's website. West and Sandifer have collaborated on some of the rapper's acceptance speeches (what about that time he leapt on stage after having not won anything?) and West told MTV News that Sandifer's book Think, Think, Think And Think Again "inspired the format of the book."

"[He did] bullet points in bold graphics, and he expounded upon them... whereas books hide the main points chapters in," West said. 'You have to read so much to get so much out of it.

"We wanted to make it simple for people who are non-readers, who don't feel like doing all that, and still get the point across."

The gossip papers are now reporting rumours that West is dating Rihanna after she was spotted going to his apartment in one outfit on Friday and leaving in a totally different get-up. West recently split up with his girlfriend, model Amber Rose, and Rihanna is no longer with Chris Brown for obvious reasons.

Rihanna is also featured in West's new video for "Paranoid."

Sources told the gossip papers last week that Rihanna had been spotted making out with former Degrassi: The Next Generation star and Canadian rapper Drake, but he later said the rumours were bogus and the two are just friends.

However, at a show earlier this month at Toronto's Sound Academy, Drake said after a song, "Shout out to Rihanna, I love you baby." Check it out here (around the 2:25 mark):

West will perform at the Wireless Festival in London, England's Hyde Park on July 5.
