Kanye West arrives in Sydney
Oct 11th
Kanye West touched down in the Land Down Under for the fourth screening of his “Runaway” film over the past week following his global trek to Paris, London, and Tokyo. The smiling rapper was greeted by fans and press as he emerged from his Mercedes-Benz in a black suit and entered Sydney’s Entertainment village.
“Just got to Australia…staring at the Sydney Opera house from my hotel window… Life is awesome!” ‘Ye tweeted upon his arrival.
He is on deadline to finish his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in order to make its November 22 release date. “Got 2 days to turn in the album,” he wrote. Without a doubt i’m nervous for Kanye West, a little to early for album promotion when his label haven’t even decided what tracks are going to make it to the final record!?
Prime example of the vanishing of Kanye West‘s “Power” video, after a short run of internet hype over the one minute freak video I struggle to see any direction of the entire project if i’m honest with you. Oh well, after all it’s Kanye West i’m sure he’s bound to some how squeeze he awful record onto radio playlists across the globe and some how rack up a platinum album, isn’t that right Mr West?

Kanye West drops “Good Ass Job” title
Jul 28th
Kanye West no longer wants a “Good Ass Job“. After much speculation, the hip-hop star has revealed that he is cooking up a new album title.
West took to his new Twitter page (which he only just recently joined!) to answer the question his fans have been asking, what will he name his fifth album? “The album is no longer called Good Ass Job I’m bouncing a couple of titles around now,” he wrote.
He earlier announced that he would continue the college theme of his previous albums “The College Dropout“, “Late Registration“, and “Graduation“. “Good Ass Job” was to be the last installment in the series.
Kanye West’s fifth album is scheduled for a September 14 release, and with very little hype around Mr West himself it looks like this project could be on the verge of crashing to the ground. We got a chance to speak to an insider of the project who told us “Well, first of all, if you look at all of Kanye West‘s output, he actually did a lot to bring back sampling and make it cool again, even though he’s more of a mainstream artist…but his new album is strictly hard beats and rhyme. He’s totally done with electro. You’re gonna be surprised what you hear.”
I’m still undecided about what exactly Kanye West‘s sound is, with very little time push out the album and with the first single off the LP (this isn’t even the official lead) “Power“, there is no doubt that this project will get pushed back all the way to 2011. Read the rest of this entry »
