: Who said hip hop is dead. MediaTakeOut.com snitches in the know are claiming that this week Kanye West's new album 808s & Heartbreak will sell somewhere around 600,000 units in its first week out.
Given that the world's biggest R&B singer Beyonce sold only 480K last week, that's a pretty big accomplishment for 'Ye.
Congrats bruh!!!
I bought the bootleg of Kanye's and I'm mad I spent 5 dollars for that wack sh@t. I didnt like it at all.
The best new album is Ludacris. I went to store and bought a real copy of Luda's album to support him AFTER I heard the bootleg. Luda's should be selling 600,000 units...not Kanye. But since Kanye is doing that pop music sh@t his albums will always sell more
808 HEARTBREAK IS FREAKING HOTT...DON'T CARE WHAT NO ONE SAY...I CAN RELATE...READ BTW THE LINE HE IS BASICALLY TRYING TO SAY WHAT U GUYS THINK IT IS IT'S RAALLY NOT AND HE IS IN VERY CRAZY PLACE RIGTH NOW AND HE DEALT WITH IT THE WAY HE HAD TO....AM SORRY I NEVER BEEN SHOT AT...OR IN A GANG...OR SELLL DRUGS...BUT TO HIM I CAN....JUUST LIKE ROCKERS SPEAK THEIR FEELING THROUGH SONGS THATS WHAT HE DID SO I CAN RELATE...DAMMMN BLK PPL KNOW HOW TO PULL EACH OTHER DOWN...LIKE KANYE SAID...IT'S AMAZING SOO AMAZING...MY REIGN IS AS FAR AS THE EYES CAN SEE...SO THAT MEANS HE AIN'T GOING NO WHERE...GET OFF HIS CASE
i think his album will be hott and interesting none the less and @ IAmSashaFierce how many times are u going to post all that crap about beyonces album being so great when the album is barely average out of all the 16 songs only about 6 is good people dont want to buy an album when less then half the songs are worth listening to
Well it aint happened yet, so dont do congrats so soon. And Kanye new album aint that impressive to me. Where the hell has the rappers gone? They all wanna be F'ing singers now. DAMN, if they wanna sing then they should just go do pop or r n b or some [EXPLETIVE]. Stop calling theirselves rappers if they aint gon rap.
lmfao and i love it. that album was fire from say you will to pinocchio story. he sold more than beyonce haha wow thats my boy thats my boy. he was just having fun on that album and out sold gun and roses. kanye is a geinus you'll gotta admit it. oh yeah and that album shouldn't fall under hip hop. just wiat till he comes out with his rap album. *looking around* damn why you'll so madd uh? lmao
lmao @ whoever said there was more weird shyt 2 come...it's all a part of his coming out party!!

i bought sasha fierce- deluxe & i must say i was shocked & amazed by how great the songz were from start to finish.lyrically,vocally-arrangements, beats, song concepts- everything sounds fantastic- it really show cases hear vocal range & its the best cd iv'e ever listened to!! i thought every song was great or really great with the excepton of the last song from both disc, those 2 songz i thought were just too heavy...there are so many stand out songz.
I Am: emotional, timeless, country-folk-acoustic guitar, vulnerable, honest, needy, revealing, effective, meaningful, complex, soul full, piano, honest soothing, relaxing.- every song compliments another & every song goes into the next.Just Perfect & dissapear is the best song she ever recorded!! disc 1 is more complete than disc 2...
best songz from best to least: dissapear if i were a boy ave maria halo broken hearted girl smash into you satellites thats why your beautiful
sasha fierce: sassy, daring,up tempo, complex, sexy, cocky,playful, in your face, electro-universal-urban-R&B, gothic, aggressive base heavy, creative, piano, horns, drums.- radio friendly.ego is the best 1 from disc 2, & this time around bey has 2 sexy songs instead of just 1 hince speechless, t shirt, & kitty kat from previous works: Ego & video phone.(did you really think id be able to describe the sound with just 1 or 2 words??)
sasha fierce: best songz from best to least: ego diva (a milli part 2) single ladies (Church claps) video phone hello radio sweat dreams scared of lonely (sum ghetto?? perhaps)
-the best ALBUM EVER- if you dont agree then your either didnt buy it or your a hater but either way my bey bey iz makin MONEY!! (you said she's overrated but i say she's underrated) its sumthin special about bey which is why her real fans have to hold her cd in their hand instead of download... 10/18 song guarantee & that way more than i can say about some of these other wackness garbage out their...
When was it released? See...Kanye's getting to the point where his antics are hurting him...what he says and does is now overshadowing his music. With all the press about his latest statements at the American Music Awards, I completely missed the fact that he had an album coming out. And that's a big deal since I was one of the people who intended to pick it up... I will though and I'm happy for him..though, as I said, he hurt his sales with antics... If he hadn't overshadowed his release date by "giving away" the American Music Award and saying he wants to be Elvis, he might have sold at least 300K more...Radio stations turned the days before his album came out (assuming MTO is right and it has) into a Kanye carnival, with his always questionable behavior the focal point...
Topping Guns n Roses is gonna be hard. He better be on every daytime and late time tv show promoting his butt off. Everyone said MJ was gonna top that when he came back out with Invincible. His numbers weren't even near that. This was MJ we were talking about! I can't root for him 'cause I'm a guns n roses fan, but I will wish him the best of luck on his quest! Can it be done? Yes. Will it be done? I doubt it.
man yall be hating on this man like [EXPLETIVE]...let me break something down..this man is the best artist in the industy...he not gay apparently the whole CD is about alexi phifer his ex-fiance...he has a girl, they got a rack of pics but besides that...this is the freshest dude in the game, everyone who disagrees stilll wears baggy ass clothes and white ppl laugh he respected for his fashion sense INTERNATIONALLY that means people all over the world like his swagg, and only people in your ghetto ass hood like your shoes and [EXPLETIVE]...hop off his dick cus he selling records.. this man doing his thing, cus he raps about a purpose thats why yall hate, everyone likes kanye in the industry.....
"50 TOLD ME GO HEAD SWITCH THE STYLE UP, AND IF THEY HATE THE LET THEM HATE AND WATCH THE MONEY PILE UP." - KANYE WEST
AND WHY DOES IT MATTER IF HE ARROGANT, WHEN YOU GOT TALENT LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT [EXPLETIVE], MUHAMMAD ALI WAS ARROGANT AND HE WAS THE BEST, FLOYD MAYWEATHER SAID THIS "I’m running my mouth a lot and I’m looking for a guy to shut me up. If you don’t shut me up I’m going to keep running my mouth" AND NO ONE HAS DONE IT, SAME WITH KANYE B!TCHES.
I like both Ludacris' and Kanye West's albums. They are both very different, yet entertaining. I admire Kanye for trying to do something different, and not staying in that box rappers are put into. I like the c.d., but I like his others better. My personal preference is just him as a rapper as opposed to a singer, but I still appreciate his efforts, and creative artistry.
I believe he deserves the attention. Look at the MAJOR trendsetters following after him... JAY-Z is one big example. I don't know who told him he could pull it off, but he's definitely influenced by Mr. West.
He's changed so much in such a small amount of time, and for that I respect him.
CHI-TOWN STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND KANYE NEVER SAID HE WAS A RAPPER HE SAID HE IS AN ARTIST, SO HE CAN DO ALL THAT, HE SET TRENDS MAN C'MON YALL BE HATING. IM DONE CONGRATS TO KANYE, KEEP MAKING THAT [EXPLETIVE] WE CAN RELATE TOO...BIG UPS TO ALL HIS HATER.S//
IF HE WAS GARBAGE THEN WHY DO ALL THE RAPPERS LET HIM PRODUCE BEATS AND BE ON THEY SONGS?
wow u manage to hate on my 2 fav artists out rite now! kanye and bey their albums are good you need to open ur mind and listen instead of judging! if it aint about killing or sex u all say its trash
international artist means u appeal to the whole world not just the hood you all need to hop out the box and open ur minds!
You all are sumthing!
anyone who says 808's is wack is freaking retarded ...the cd is an example of REAL music and not a bunch of fake gangsta cliches. its goo dt o see growth and if you listen to 808's and cant appreciate it then your a sorry fan of music . it is not hip hop people he has grown past that , it is music which the world can feel . do you cnsistantly want to hear about shooting and fake jewels or do you want a cd that you can put on and act grown and just listen and enjoy with anyone...[EXPLETIVE] my mom was feeling it and my boss at work and he's super white ...he said it reminded him of phil collins so he was going to buy it ...50 cent cant reach that fan fan base . one day Kanye will be on the short list of the best musical acts of our time ...period. ...oh and "Bad News" is fire !!!!

why is you guy talking about what kanye said about at the ama if it was a white guy like justin said it they would say nothing racism still exist.why a black man cannot be elvis, is elvis better than boothoven or whats his name i would say no but elvis is a evolution so is kanye.he as taken everypart of music and make it one . most of you dont listen the music luda is not his best its a downgrade now dont get me wrong i rate luda i think he is under rated but please listen to k music listen to the drums listen to the chords its very good i got to say if it was a duo ablum with someone like t pain it would sell more and to miss b i said it before u can go to the past post these songs are from her last ablum single ladies is part 2 of a song solange wrote for the last ablum if i were a boy should have been out a couple years ago but because c one got big they put back the ablum just listen to the and u will feel like it is 2004-2005
Well, if he aint no rapper and he an artist all the best rap album awards etc..rap awards in general he needs to give them to somebody else and take his pop singing azz to another genre. Im cool with Kanye, but Im just being real. This is rap, not pop, rock, country or any of that other sh!t. That goes for Wayne and his lollipop sh!t too.
