January 5th, 2009


Mister Kanye West released his fourth album back in November and I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the art that he has produced. Kanye is singing on every song on the album with a little help from the auto-tune. Soothing melodies that tell about heartbreaks, love and misery and moving on with life - this is what this CD is made of. Ending  with a 6 minute freestyle which he compares his life to the story of Pinnochio. Saying over and over again ‘I wanna be a real boyyyy.’ The song that connects with me most would have to be Robocop,which tells a tale of a  self-consicous woman who is snooping around on her man and becomes more like robot who commands orders. If you don’t already have this piece of brilliance pick it up. It shows a sensitive side to the formerly arrogant Mister West which is uncommon.

So Island Def Jam is making a bold move - they are moving the release date forward of The Killers’ Day & Age, Ludacris’ Theater of the Mind and Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak.

The albums were scheduled for release in both physical and digital formats on Tuesday November 25th, but they will now be seeing a Monday the 24th date.

Many fans are excited about the new early releases, but the question is: will it make any difference?

Kanye West’s Love Lockdown hit #3 on the Hot 100, The Killers’ Human scored #6 on Billboard’s Modern Rock, and Ludacris’ One More Drink with T-Pain is a still #34 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop. I’m grabbing all 3…
