Kanye West finally delivers New Music

For the past year and a half, there have been rumors of a new album from Kanye West. After he delivered his R&B debut, 808s & Heartbreak, Kanye West promised his next album in June 2009. But, when the time came, the album did not come. Instead, he pushed the album back an extra six months. He had a plan to stage his rap comeback.

Starting after the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West was going to begin releasing new music from his album. Later that week, the title of the album was supposed to come. Those plans were halted right in their tracks when Taylor Swift won the VMA for Best Female Video over Beyonce's "Single Ladies." Feeling as if Beyonce was slighted, West jumped onto the stage and said Beyonce was more deserving.

The media had been waiting for a chance to pounce on Kanye West and they had finally found it. In a matter of minutes, he went from being a fan favorite to being public enemy number one. Because of all of the negative press, Kanye West flew to India to clear his mind. While in India, he began to recording process all over again. When he returned, the people who heard Kanye West's new music were impressed. DJ Premier said the album would be one of the best of all-time.

While people close to Kanye West have been hearing his music, the fans have not heard anything new from him since his verse of Keri Hilson's "Knock You Down." But, for the first time in almost two years, Kanye has delivered something actually new to his fans. Yesterday, he played four new songs off of his album, Good Ass Job, which will be released in September.

Kanye pegs album for September release

Last year, Kanye West was putting the finishing touches on his new album. The album was a return to rap after West decided to try his hand at R&B. He proved that he could leave the top of the rap game and take the crown in the R&B game. Following the release of his last album, West said to expect the next album in 2009.

Following his appearance at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, West was supposed to begin promoting his new album. The album was supposed to be released in December. However, his run-in with Taylor Swift derailed those plans. One comment almost ended his entire career, so West decided to take a break.

Initially, Kanye West announced that his album, Good Ass Job, a return to rap, would be released before the end of 2010. But, a producer from the album stated that it would likely come out sometime in mid-2011. Recently, though, Def Jam revealed that the album will likely come out in September.

Kanye West will not sing on New Album

Kanye West has been credited as one of the best rappers of all-time. In 2007, most critics could agree with fans in saying that West was on top of his game. His albums were going in order as he debuted as The College Dropout, he returned with Late Registration, and finally he attended his own Graduation. What was to come next was a Good Ass Job.

However, after the release of Graduation, Kanye West had to deal with multiple losses. He had major plans for the remainder of 2007 and for the future. West would lose out on a major business deal with Fat Burger and his own HBO sitcom. Those losses were minor compared to what happened next. He would lose his own mother and his fiancée.

Because of all of the losses, Kanye West found himself trying to mend a broken heart. The best way that he could express himself was through his music. Kanye West soon took to his auto-tune to create his classic 808s & Heartbreak album. On the album, he expressed his heartbreaks and he called the creation “therapy.”

In a matter of one year, Kanye West proved that he was one of the best rappers and one of the best singers in the game. After the success of his R&B debut, there was speculation that Kanye may begin singing on all of his albums. However, last summer, he revealed that he will not take the R&B route on his next album.

However, recently, the producers for his album have confirmed that Good Ass Job will feature absolutely no techno and no singing from Kanye West.

In his return to rap, Kanye West is going all out. Following his last album, Kanye wants to prove that he can return to dominance in rap. He promised the people, early on, that this album would be a classic. Because of this promise, Kanye has turned to the legends.

On his previous rap efforts, Kanye West always went with a different sound. His latest album will be no different. Recently, hip hop has changed and Kanye is contributing to these changes. He will take on the task of mixing the old with the new for a unique sound that will not be forgotten.

The album will already feature work from Pete Rock, Pusha T, and Drake. Most of this album has been recorded in Hawaii, much like his previous effort. Good Ass Job will be released before the end of this year.
