“As an artist, you owe it to yourself to be free. You can’t just cater to the audience.” – Common

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, it appears that Kanye will continue his tradition of setting trends by trading in his microphone for a vocoder on 808 & Heartbreaks. Word has it Kanyeezy is singing throughout the album.

Common says he likes what he’s heard from the album so far, but history has taught us to take anything said by crocheted pants-rocking artists with a gigantic grain of salt. As long as ‘Ye has a couple songs where he imitates Lil Wayne’s flow, I’m good.

My sincere apologies to Young Jeezy, but this will be the undisputed album of the year. I can’t wait.

Hip hop honors would have De La Soul as an honoree…HOW DIFFERENT IS THAT.. there is so much crap out there but only few rise to the top and get the respect of fans and artist alike… as for musical taste i’ve always gotten down with who does it different and Kanye is different and his own critic and thats how artist are. not rappers.. everyone can rap

    Kanye can’t sing. I think he can rap, but i don’t find him cool enough to be tricked into believing that him singing for a whole album is cool. Wont buy. Wont even cop the bootleg.
