"Kanye West’s fifth studio album entitled My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will be in stores on Monday, November 22nd." Not so sure about this. Dark Twisted Fantasy is strong enough title, but is this real one an improvement? Verges on Morrissey territory, but I think it will grow on me. This was always the title though, according to West:

i don't know about the album title, but the tracks he's been releasing are amazing. he's the best celebrity we've got, no matter what you think of his personality. he's talented, he's an asshole, he's conflicted, he's got clout with everyone... and his tracks have been the shit. if this album is anything like the "g.o.o.d. friday" stuff he's been releasing, it's gonna be a masterpiece. some of the best hip-hop and, more importantly, some of the best pop i've heard in years. kanye's the biggest fool (court style) and the biggest ego and the biggest genius we've seen in a while. that's not something to ignore. ridicule all you want, but he's a guy they'll be talking about in 20 years. "g.o.o.d. friday" already kicks the shit off of any pop album released this year. if he's smart, he's kept the best shit back. we shall see.

what zeitgeist-grabbing guests/producers/samples do you think will be on this one? my predictions are Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon, Nicki Minaj, and Hall & Oates.

I don't know, part of me just really wants to watch Kanye disappear further down this rabbit hole of crazy.

I don't understand the hate (and frankly the homophobic jokes) directed to Kanye. I was telling my friends yesterday that Kanye personifies the "awkward black middle class kid." I think that's why I can relate to him to an extent. I like his awkwardness and need to be bombastic/ambitious. So I don't mind his personality because at the end of the day I think his music is good. The majority of the GOOD Friday songs have been interesting synthesis of old school-type productions with Kanye's quirks. Though I do worry if he the album will be of high quality due to the already high quality of the leaks. Will any of these leaks make it to the album? Sometimes I feel like he bites more than he can chew but that suspense is very appreciated (especially directed towards a hip hop artist).
BTW, that album cover is kind of meh to me.

less said about the rapping the better of course but this production is def a better look than a lot of the more florid shit he's been doing for this project

it seems at this point like this album almost has to be a double CD, unless they leave a lot of these leaks off the album or only have them on a 'deluxe edition'

I like how the homepage had the article title w/ the NSFW in it, yet right above it there was a cropped picture of the album cover where you could still see a lot of the stuff that makes the cover NSFW-worthy
