I don't care about "co-produced" shit.
I reckon it's basically all self-produced.
How else would they keep EVERY producer completely fucking silent for this long...
Paul said he's been working on it for 'some time' which implies over a year or something, so there's no way they've gagged every single producer on the album, if there are any.
The total silence and no details, and Em touching up on his production skills with multiple exec producer roles and co-productions (learning) can only mean one thing: he's producing it.
He also listens to fans and responds each time out now, so obviously he heard the bad feedback about Recovery production, and he hasn't produced his own shit properly since Encore aka 9 years, so given all of these facts - plus the fact he has a Chris Rock skit (implies he heard and liked Ye's album and is probably inspired by the self-produced, epic aspect of it) - all of this points to it being his work. I think he's going all out in case this is his last.
And, his raps have been getting better... regardless of the song quality he's been on, his raps of 011 and 012 are way smoother than Recovery, his puns are actually getting clever and not cringing or forced; they naturally occur in verses as they should, his wit is becoming actually funny again and his delivery is super smooth... so consider all this with his own production... and consider the fact he hasn't come out with a universally accepted BRILLIANT album since TES aka 11 years ago. He knows what time it is, this one has to be THE FUCKING SHIT, and he knows it.
