Kanye West Thread

[Locke.]

Not interested in any of this crap he is doing, I just want another solo album

[Samuel.]

Same.

Fear he might have fallen off. WTT wasn't great, and haven't particularly liked any of the tracks this year.

And the whole Kim K stuff... :/

[Shaun]

Update the thread title tbh

[Iceman]

I hate when rappers start focusing more on other people, it affects them too muhc, Dre did it with Eminem = No detox. Eminem did it with Obie and 50 = Encore. He's doing it now with Yela and SH = future **** album. Kanye needs to come back with a great album.

tbf MBDTF wasn't even 2 years ago yet and Watch the Throne had some excellent songs (just a quite boring middle section), so I'm not too impatient

Im an impatient mother****er thanks to AM releasing every year (nearly). Em only released BME:HTS a year ago and im itching for more.

Kanye fell off years ago though. I Don't Like was an absolute banger, but that was a banger before he remixed it so I don't really count it. The best thing he can do is bring out a G.O.O.D Music album. Pusha & Big Sean are both spitting alot better than him at the moment in my opinion.

Saying that. He is beyond epic Live along with Jay and Niggas In Paris will always be a modern hit for him(or be it for Jay'z verse and the beat mostly)

The highly anticipated/much-speculated-about album from Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music crew-- originally rumored to be out August 7-- will be out September 4 on G.O.O.D. and Def Jam. An official tracklist has yet to be released

[Roy Mars III]

need him to break up with Kim and get really depressed so we can get another amazing album

[Shaun]

As he's known to do, Kanye West has Tweeted what appears to be the (very dramatic) artwork for the forthcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer. It's regal in a fashion similar to the Watch the Throne cover; find a side view below.

[Samuel.]

Possibly the tracklist for Cruel Summer:

http://www.hmv.co.jp/news/article/1208060007/

01 To The World by Kanye West, R. Kelly
02 Clique by Kanye West, JAY Z, Big Sean
03 Mercy.1 by Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz
04 New God Flow.1 by Kanye West, Pusha T, Ghostface Killah
05 The Morning by Raekwon, Pusha T, Common, 2 Chainz, CyHi Da Prynce, Kid Cudi, D'Banj
06 Cold.1 by DJ Khaled
07 Higher by The-Dream, Pusha T, Ma$e
08 Sin City by John Legend, Travi$ Scott, Teyana Taylor, CyHi Da Prynce, Malik Yusef

Praying it's fake. I really don't have high expectations for this as it is.

That R Kelly track, though...

[Locke.]

Amazing if true

[Brother Leon]

Girls kissing girls,cause it's hot right?

[Samuel.]

That's pretty much confirmed as the tracklist, but apparently missing a few tracks.

No Mos Def or Mr Hudson...

[Samuel.]

The tracklist is real, + snippets.

Must resist...

Can't believe I Don't Like is not only on the album, but as the final track... smh

[Jayson]

Not gonna listen to the previews as it's only 1 more week

It's the best thing Kanye has done after MBDTF without Jigga

[Locke.]

To The World sounds amazing

[Samuel.]

Even despite Taylor Swift performing at the VMAs, and dedicating a song to a dead kid:





Ain't nobody ****ing with Kanye's clique, clique, clique, clique, clique

[Roy Mars III]

[Shaun]

currently slaying at, uh, #24 in the UK

[Samuel.]

no1curr about UK

MBDTF didn't even manage a top 10 spot on our album charts.

Kanye West nominated for 17 BET Hip Hop Awards

ATLANTA — Kanye West hasn't released a solo album since 2010, but the rapper has kept relevant with another strong year.

Now, BET is taking notice.

West received the most nominations with 17 for the seventh annual BET Hip-Hop Awards, which will air Oct. 9. The rapper has had a big year as a producer, performer and director. He also collaborated with Jay-Z on the album, "Watch the Throne."

The nominations were announced Wednesday.

The ceremony will be taped Sept. 29 at Atlanta's Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center. Actor and comedian Mike Epps will return as host for the fourth straight year.

Hip-hop mogul Chris Lighty, who committed suicide earlier this month, will be honored during the show. Lighty was the manager for Mariah Carey, Sean "Diddy" Combs and 50 Cent.
