Rumors of a new Kanye West album at year’s end appear to be true, according to some online music vendors. Both Amazon and Target show West’s fourth album, which breaks from the school theme with the title 808’s & Heartbreak, will be released on December 16th, positioning West in a good spot to challenge Lil Wayne’s one-week sales record in the lead-up to Christmas. The listings offer no album art or track lists, but it’s safe to assume the album will include West’s “Love Lockdown,” which the rapper sang to close this year’s VMAs. Additionally, Kanye made a surprise appearance at last night’s G.O.O.D. Music show at NYC’s Knitting Factory last night, performing “Love Lockdown” and “Swagger Like Us.” West also performed “Flashing Lights” and “Put On,” his contribution to Young Jeezy’s The Recession.

If he works in a lot of roland 808 samples (as the title seems to imply) its going to be an awesome album. Two things every 80’s child will be wishing for this christmas (1) the new kanYe West cd (&2) a 25th anniversary edition plastic casio g-shock watch (i’ll take mine in crayola green please). go kanYe go kanYe go

I love Kanye but I really hope not every song is like “Love Lockdown”. I don’t necessarily mind that song, but if every song on the new album is singing and there’s no rapping I’ll be very disappointed.

The new song better be the last time I ever hear the T-Pain Autotune effect for the rest of my life!

I Kanye trying to look like a retard? I can’t imagine his look inspiring anyone to dress up like an old man at a nursing home.
