Kanye West -- Hell Is Gonna Get Really Cold ... Thanks to Taylor Swift

Kanye West's plan to record music with Taylor Swift could end up being a brilliant career move for both of them ... or a disastrous PR stunt. Or maybe both.

Kanye was on Ryan Seacrest's show Wednesday morning when he revealed T Swizzle had suggested they get in the studio together -- and put that whole VMA mess behind them, once and for all.

Kanye sounded excited to work with her ... and even mentions the possibility of doing something with Beck -- though that seems really far fetched at this point.
