      *Kanye West, last seen on MTV’s “Sweet 16” surprising the son of L.A. Reid at his lavish party, is finding it hard to carve out enough time for all of the projects on his plate, including a comeback single for Michael Jackson.

      West spoke to MTV.com about his most high-profile gig of late, the theme song for “Mission: Impossible III.”

      "I didn't have enough time to make it the way I make it," West said about the song, titled "Impossible." The track features West, Twista and the newest signee to Kanye's Good Music imprint, Keyshia Cole.

       "If you notice, I don't do as many beats for people because I don't have enough time to make it how I make it," he said. "My beats is a whole new art form now. It's not just a 15-minute joint. It's not that fast-food sh*t. You can tell 'Impossible' took hours."      

       West said he took a leftover track from Twista’s album to use for “Impossible,” which is separate from his reworking of the infamous “Mission: Impossible” theme song.      

       "It's hard," he said of the latter. "Like some DMX-sounding sh*t. I chopped up the 'bomp, bomp, bomp-bomp,' but I couldn't think of no verse for it, so it's just an instrumental."      

       West said he’s looking forward to a possible collaboration with the King of Pop, if their busy schedules will ever allow it.  The Grammy-winning artist is currently producing Common’s next album, “Finding Forever,” which he predicts will win the Grammy for Rap Album of the Year in 2007.      

       "You will be happy with ‘Finding Forever,’" he said. "We're halfway done. We're going to be dropping in September, and the first single is going to be called 'The Glory.' I'm just excited. I want to scream it from the top of the mountaintop."
