It appears Seth Rogen and James Franco's "Bound 2" parody might have earned the former a coveted position in Kanye West's inner circle.

Rogen said in a interview with Rolling Stone that shortly after the clip was released, West invited him into his limo van to hear a live rendition of his next album: "There's no lyrics, only beats/ So he raps the whole album, and after each song, he stops it, like, 'So what do you think?' We were in the van for two hours!"

It's worth noting, given the time that has passed since the limo encounter, it's unknown how much of the material Rogen might have heard is actually part of the final record.
