“Top Five” hits theaters December 12th, and the New York premiere was held last night (November 4) with the full cast in attendance including Kanye West. Written and directed by Chris Rock, the comedian shares how he got Kanye West on board.

“I send all my scripts to Kanye,” Rock told MTV News on the red carpet for the New York premiere of the movie on Wednesday night.

With a straight face, he was pretty believable until he broke into laughter, and let us in on how both Yeezy and Jay Z ended up with co-producer roles.

“I mean, if you doing anything that has hip-hop involved in it, you better call up Kanye, you better call up Jay,” he said. “And they were great. When you see the movie, you’ll see.”

One of the reasons Rock can just call up Ye, is because the comedian appeared on “Blame Game,” off of 2010′s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He performed a now-iconic two-minute skit at the end of the song.
