How does one buy the Kanye album with the KAWS cover? I heard something about a Dec 16th release but I never saw it in stores.

I dig kayne’s music….Kaws is gone to the moon. I kinda like what he did as an artist….it’s like forget the graf community…I’m going pop(lol) He dropped every ounce of pride and is moving forward. Hopefully he won’t be the general of a small army of biters…I’m just waiting…as an artist I don’t want to be the first to do it. Hip- Hop has formula and not too many are thinking outside the box…I hope the visual arts never get like that!

Only a die hard fan could like this album. I am glad I downloaded it on a torrent and did not bUy it as it is frankly just weird. He needs to get back to what he does best and not get so far up his own ass that he see’s any half hearted attempt at making an album is “art” just cause he made it. I have not heard anything this poor since the RZA made Bobby Digital years ago (similarly poor effort). Just cause you are real famous does not mean that anything you make is good – this most certainly isn’t. For those of you who disagree – get real with yourselves.

Nice album cover… but 808s & Heartbreak really was a heartbreak. Seen much better from Ye.

“When in the world is this kat gonna do something original??? All he does is regurgitate underground pop and street culture.”

Okay then feller, tell me what’s original now. I could say the same thing for any other band that hasn’t completely created a new genre. What constitutes as original now? Scat/beatbox/rap/chant? Sometimes you should just stick to what you know; Kanye is a HIP/HOP ARTIST and he’s going towards a different approach to his music. I really don’t understand how you can call him unoriginal. Also, any indie group is singing the same thing, just using different instruments. Plus, at least he’s not singing about his bitches and money on this one.
