After releasing several exclusive tracks as part of his G.O.O.D. Fridays series, Kanye West isn’t sure when he will release his fifth album. And while the titles, Good Ass Job and Dark Twisted Fantasy have been thrown around, there is still no official title for the album. Earlier in the week, Rap-Up.com reported Kanye was targeting November 22 as a release date, but West took to Twitter to clarify the matter, saying he’s still undecided.
I’m still contemplating my album date… I’m finished with it but when should I drop?
A November 22 date would have placed West right on the cusp of “Black Friday,” the largest consumer shopping day in America.
To date, West has logged studio time with Jay-Z, Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., John Legend and a host of other artists. According to some reports, over $3 million has been spent on the album, including a 40 minute accompanying short film, which was shot in Prague. Additionally, no information has been given on how the album’s proposed release date would impact the five-song collaborative EP West is planning to release with Jay-Z.
As labels ramp up promotions to increase their fourth quarter sales, West will still likely find himself vying for additional shelf space along recent collaborators Nicki Minaj and Lloyd Banks (who both plan to release albums on November 23), unless he decides to wait until 2011, which seems unlikely.
I can’t decide on my album title either uuuugh!!!!
(September 29)
UPDATE: Kanye West has now said that the album will release on Monday, November 22. This will make West’s fifth album to release on the popular week of Thanksgiving, making his album available for American commerce holiday, “Black Friday.” That same week, Nicki Minaj, Lloyd Banks and AZ are scheduled to release.
L.A. Reid who’s doing a great job at Def Jam. We gone Kill it again on November 22nd!!!!!!!!!! Even with the leaks fam.
Bout Damn Time we got a legit release, This album is going to be a classic, album of the year.
def coppin lloyd banks HFM2 nov 23!!
hope the kanye album isnt super glossy like his pink blazers and his pretty boy image. he was supposed to make this a more hip hop style album- we will see.
hfm 2 all the way though- banks got the voice that makes kanye sound like a little girl and banks will bring that real shit.
nicki minaj is cool to look at (her ass) and sounds different, but you know the album will be full of holes and too commercial.
obviously this so called gutter man hasn’t heard the leaks that’s been droppin’ every Friday…
hey anonymous- your a goofy chump and the kanye songs are ass. fuck his gay leaks. punk ass song cant put out a song without other big names on it. over-rated kanye the clown in pink blazers blowin the mans cock.
Gutter man’s trollin’…
good posts gutter man
co-sign
Why yall put Loyd Banks in there? Ok, he coming out that day, but cmon, he aint gona sell alot of records like Kanye and Nicki, so its Kanye vs Nicki, who will win,both the best out right now, but ill say Nicki Minaj.
banks is the closest on that list to real hip hop and some of his shit is really dope.
your obviously a mainstream robot blowin kanye’s watered down balls.\gtfoh
lloyd banks is real hip hop? ahaaha pardon me, i had to laugh at that. gutter man youre too silly. really just stop it already
banks is for real and if you think hes not good youre listening to the wrong songs
i’m coppin the banks album, dude is putting out heat
well at least he gon have one sell
punk ass kanye the industry whore cant put out a song without other big names on it. over-rated kanye the clown in pink blazers blowin the mans cock.
all his new songs are weak.
Your a Ball Tugging, Dick squeezing punk faggot, What do you just sit on the computer all day and harrass people? Your a sad little bitch, get a life son, Kanye is dope, you know he’s dope, just like we know that you love dick in your mouth, Go play on the freeway Arnie.
i’d appreciate it if some real headz could defend me and real hip hop on this site.
FOR ONE IM A HIPHOP HEAD..AND I FIND YO POINT POINTLESS AND INVALID..ALSO FALSE..KANYE DOES A MAJORITY OF HIS ALBUMS WITH ALMOST NO FEATURES AT ALL..A FACT U CAN PROVE BY CHECKIN..HIS FIRST SINGLE WHICH IS A CLASSIC..BY HIMSELF..THE FIRST SINGLE OFF THIS ALBUM..BY HIMSELF..HIS CONCERTS HE DONT EVEN HAVE A HYPE MAN..HE CONSTANTLY “JAPS” AND SHOWS WHAT A SO-CALLED “REAL” ARTIST SHOULD BE…U R A LAME
hey- life according to dutch:
kanye is a pretty boy corportae whore who pretends to be real hip hop- go blow him-no homo- call me a lame? your the mainstream fool defending kanye who has had a lot of features on his new shit dumby! kill your mom
lol gutterman sounds like an insecure retard. Maybe he should kill his mom instead for not getting an abortion before she spat him out from between her thighs. Banks good…yeezy good…quit the beefin faggots.
bliggady blah is a shemale
well 1st define head. Based upon your posts, you dont qualify.
you make some good points
lmao it wont be much of a battle. Kanye will easily sell the most.
just like fifty cent
kanye the prince of gayland
Gutter man do us a favor and get Lloyd banks dick out ya ass Kanye has made more classic albums then Lloyd banks yes lloyd banks is a good rapper but the nigga is already passed his prime he really hasn’t created much of a buzz since his first album that rotten apple album was aight but nuttin to really brag about and the only thing that really hyped him was beamer, benz, or bently and that was a long time ago he has no buzz Kanye was consistent and made a full EP full of sum of the best production we have heard this year and also Devil in a new dress didn’t feature any other big name artist and that song is ill there’s really no competition between Kanye and Lloyd Banks cuz Kanye has already done more in his career than Lloyd will ever do and don’t even say I’m dickriding cuz I’m just stating facts and also nobody is fuckin agreeing wit ur dumbass so u just stand alone wit that opinion that Lloyd Banks, the man that has his dick so far up ur ass, is goin to have the best album
listen pussy- you like gay rap thats alright (i guess). but dont take it out on me because you feEl insecure about your gayness and bad taste in hip hop- YOU FUCKIN WEAK BITCH. BUY KANYES ALBUM AND KILL YOURSELF.
KAYNE HAS TURNED INTO A BIG TURD BALL OF PINK BLAZERS , SUITS AND TIES- DUDES A PRETTY LITTLE PANSY AND SO IS YOUR DAD. EVERYBODY ON G.O.O.D. MUSIC SUCKS DEAD DOG ASS, SO DOES YOUR MOTHER- YOU CHUMP
gutterman? really dogg. get the fuck outta here. first of all half the shit youre saying doesnt make any sense and just a little immature. ill admit that beamer benz or bentley was dope but like cabanas said that shit is old and kanye stays in the forefront. you can hate all you want but lloyd banks will get no where near kanye in sells because lets face it. who is lloyd banks? like really?
Watch Young Money change the release date for Nicki’s project. Nobody wants to drop on the same day as a industry giant. Kanye will easily do 500,000 to a million units week one. I still wanna cop the Banks album tho.
OH YOUR STILL GONNA BUY BANKS’ ALBUM ARNY YOU FUCKIN DOWN… DONT SUPPORT KANYE
WARNING!!!
DONT SUPPORT KANYE BREAST!
HE WILL MAKE YOU TURN INTO A SLIME BALL CONFORMIST SHIT HEAD.
truth hurts. Kanye West is a pawn in the music industry for sure. He trys too hard and acts stupid.I dont support that candy ass fake rap.
“Kanye Breast”?
FAIL
the mini-film was shot in PRAHA = big.
WOwww how many artist put that much money in an album and with a movie SICK
@ gutterman, G.O.O.D music is way better than bum ass G-unit. banks is the only good one from there, 50 and yayo are terrible. ppl like Big Sean, Kanye, Common and Kudi are way better. no doubt
Agree 100%
cant even compare you idiots. Lloyd Banks lyrically better then everyone on that label. kudi real wack big sean less than average. common is real good. kanye a beast. but even still id rather listen to classic g-unit shit over all those dudes. and im not dick ridin i just enjoy “rap” music
Beats! Beats! Beats!

NOVEMBER 22ND IS A MONDAY NOT BLACK FRIDAY YOU FUKIN DOUCHE. BLACK FRIDAY IS NOVEMBER 26TH NOT NOVEMBER 22ND. DOESN’T THIS GARBAGE WEB SITE EVER DO ANY RESEARCH BEFORE THEY JUST POST ERRONEOUS INFO?
CONSTANT TYPOS, SPELLING AND GRAMMAR MISTAKES AND MISINFORMATION IS JUST HOW DX ROLLS I GUESS. YOU DX COCKSUCKERS SHOULD DO IT ALL RIGHT OR EVEN BETTER YET JUST DON’T DO IT AT ALL BECAUSE DX JUST FLAT OUT SUCKS.
If you read it it doesn’t say it releases on Black Friday it says on the cusp of Black friday guy. Calm down.
dogg it doest say its gonna be released on black friday. it says “it will place West right on the cusp of “Black Friday,” the largest consumer shopping day in America.” maybe you should look twice before you post shit. just a thought. but judging by youre comment you prolly dont even know what they mean so ill give you the benefit of the doubt =]
ps. looks like you got a lot of hate towards this site. why the fuck you on it then?
I think we can all agree this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about?
And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, HipHopDX’s grammar abilities are NOTHING compared to RapBasement’s, that site has at least 3 typos per article I swear, it was so bad it drove me away from that site and onto this one (thank God I found this site).
hater
IT SUCKS LIKE ME YOUR MOM.
Kanye might be slightly mainstream, but clearly that dumb ass fag gutter man is on lloyds dick.am a woman who listens to banks but even i know that shit is not as deep as kanye.but am sure your high school drop out white little dick uneducated fag ass would relate to banks shit.eat a dick pussy!
wut?
Floyd Banks is just average, nobody waiting for him
yes everyone waitin on him. LLOYD BANKS HFM2
i need to hear more from lloyd banks boss, he can rip it if he wants, but i don’t need no more g-unit in my life boss, i need lloyd, featuring g-unit, on only a few songs dammit. and nicki, i’ll just look at the album cover in the store to see what she has on, not interested boss, and kanye, sold.
i just want to know what’s REAL hiphop? to me, it’s just good quality music you can feel. it doesn’t have to be somebody who says that KRS-ONE is their favorite rapper….but someone who may have listened to kris when he was in his prime…hell i even like pharrell, the nigga does tight beats, and flows slick, but i also like de la soul, camp lo, dilla, and others…but i can flip it and listen to gucci mane, dj quik, twista, even rick ross. man real hiphop is just good music. don’t get it twisted. you are talking to a boombox carrying, “rock the bells” early 80’s kid here boss. and i’m from mississippi.
Nicely said. I’ll be the first one to say I liked Teflon Don even though my screen name is Wu-Tang Forever. It’s all good music.
finally two voices of reason.
THANK YOU oh my God I’ve been saying this for years and people think I’m crazy.
GO HOMEEeeeeeeeee!!
yea man its cool to like all all types of whack hip hop!
pointless music with 2 or 3 lyrics of witty rap is awesome…gosh i’m going to update my status now and tell everyone how in love i am with going with the flow!
http://indy.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/12433/spenden_sims_just_blowin_money.html
no matter what lifestyle kanye chooses you can not deny that he is in the top 2 rappers out now (Jay -z # 1)he’s a way better lyricst than anybody you can name and his music will bump longer than you favorite rapper. Name 1 artist other than Hova that can fuck with kanye real talk. If you disagree listen to soulja boy for the rest of your life bitches
LUPE FIASCO…..
I’m a huge Kanye fan and even I could name hundreds of MCs who are more lyrical than him. But it would take too long. He’s more for the production than he is the lyrics.
LUPE……..!?
BUT I AGREE WEST IS WAY UNDERATED AS LYRICS ARE CONCERNED… BUT ILL 1 UP YOU..
WHO MAKES THERE OWN BEATS,WRITES,MARKETS AND COMES STRONG ON ALL ALBUMS??? NOT MANY AND WEST IS THE BEST RIGHT NOW AT THAT TOTAL PACKAGE
Hmm, there aren’t a lot of better lyricst but there are better artist. I’m not gunna say drake or em or wayne. but if you ever heard of ace hood or reed dallaz or maino, i like them better. just my opinoin.
Eminem.
@T
Did you just say ace hood is better than Kanye?
…………………….
that better be a joke
Be clear hear are you talking about a rapper that the masses knows about? If not there is a rapper named Vodka from Philly I beleive who IS A GENIUS. You tube Vodka Rap and Have fun!! When “The Difference is Drinkability” mixtape drops…GAME OVER…he is brilliant.
all the slaughterhouse guyz!
lupe fiasco immortal technique joell ortiz he aint even made top 3…..he’s music is pointless no real messages
keep saying the same thing,”so if yo message aint shit, fuck the records you sold.Cus if YOU GO PLATNIUM it has nothing to do with {talent or}luck it just means a million ppl are stupid as fuck”
Plese tell me you’re kidding? I repsect both Jay/Kanye in terms of selling record and having some good radio songs (even though radio from 86-2003 is MURDERING radio post 2003) and Jay in his prime was dope no doubt, but neither one of them right now is close to top 2 and Kanye was never even top 100 in terms of DOPE EMCEE/RAW LYRICIST…He was (and is to lesser extent today) a great producer, but as an emcee are you kidding me?
He’s never even been the best on any of his albums….Common, Kweli, Mos, Twista, Lupe, Jay, Luda (can sell out a lot on the radio but when he spits with Nas, Jada, Common, Jay, etc he kills it and is pretty damn funny/witty with it), and I actually liked his first string of albums for what they were…But in terms of Jay and Kanye in top 2, hands down? That’s comical. Again anyone has to put Jay in their top 20 for what he’s done as a business man and his 3 best albums (Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album to go along with some hot features and hot singles back in the day moreso), even though he’s not in my personal top 10, but Kanye? Really? I could go on for days with ppl that murder him. Here are some examples of ppl murdering Kanye as DOPE EMCEES (rhymes, lyrics, flow, multis, rhyme scheme, rawness, etc)…
Em (again MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH moreso in his prime from 96-2003, but still would MURDER him lyrically/flow wise today a la Forever, The warning, westwood freestyle, BET Cypher, Stay Wide Awake which has unreal multis and unique rhyme schemes, Deja Vu, Underground, Be Careful What you wish for, My Darling, On Fire, Goin Through Changes, Spacebound, 25 to Life, Almost Famous, Untitled, Session 1, etc…don’t make me go through his 96/96-2003 moments), NASIR JONES, COMMON, Kweli, Mos Def, G. RAP, PHAROAHE MONCH, ELZHI, One Be Lo, Louis Logic, Juice, MASTA ACE. CROOKED I (Royce, Buddens, Ortiz are all 3 better in S.H as well), Andre 3000 (and Big Boi), Jada, Styles P, Canibus, DIABOLIC, Canibus, Rakim, Reef The Lost Cauze, Rhyme Asylum (Possessed especially), Copywrite, Slug, Brother Ali, Apathy, Lupe Fiasco, RA the Rugged Man, Luda (much better punches/flow/voice when he’s not doing radio shit than Kanye), Method Man, Redman, Ghost, Rae, Gza, Skyzoo, Invincible, Jean Grae, ILL Bill, Sean Price (and Rock), MF Doom, Vakill, Rass Kass, Chino XL, Bun B, AZ, Cam (not a big fan personally but he’s a better emcee, especially and did shit with Big L), Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz, Blu, Planet Asia, Fashawn, Reks, Ed OG, Sly Boogie, Twista, Dead Prez, Lowkey, Bekay, TONEDEFF, CUNNIN LYNGUISTS (mainly Deacon the Villan), Phonte (Little Brother), Pusha T (clipse), Fab (moreso back in the DJ clue days, but still better EMCEE), Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), Charli 2na (Jurrasic 5), Percee-P….There’s a sample of about 50 and I could proba name 50 more
As long as he doesn’t name the album “Dark Twisted Fantasy” I’m satisfied
I know, it’s a retarded album name.
men I personally dont wont 2 hear just 5songs from kanye nd jay dats wack az hell .. U got 2 feed the fans Men fans ben waiting 4 dis collab 4ever n all u gone give us iz 5 songs very Dissatisfying .. 15 + more .. now thats an album No punk azz 5 songz dats waist of money & downloads .. Hell Krs one dont even release 5 songs .. Men I expect More
why do you keep sayin “men”?
I hope he actually raps on this shit, 808’s wasn’t a bad album, but this nigga KILLS shit, straight up.
Talk to more of Hip Hop’s greats, and they will tell you that Ye has done more for Hip Hop than banks wishes that he could do. None of your points are valid about this so-called match-up. Maybe you should listen to something that came out before 2000 to actually understand what Hip Hop is. SMH
Album Title: G.O.O.D.
Drop Date: whenever just as long as its this year!
Here’s a name suggestion: “I Missed You Isis”
or Aleister Crowley for president.
Album title: Revolutionary Moment
Release Date: Black Friday 26th
Keep going Kanye
The album Title is…
GAYFISH
that would be awesome, i’d buy 5 copies
that joke is still relevant to you? WOW
Yeah kanye is a bitch but none of you guys can’t deny the bad ass music he makes when it has to do with hip hop.
its garbage.
can’t deny yeah right there is no such thing.
if it sucks, it sucks.
no such thing as denying or proving it one way or the other.
KANYE u should drop the album on the week of BIG BROTHER JAY-Z BIRTHDAY which is the day before mine
your gay, just so you know
lol
I’m defintely getting it but i don’t think it’s going to be close Graduation..
The Man and His Red Suit
kanye west is no lil wayne….if he dosent get at least one top 10 hit out with-in the next 3 to 4 weeks he can forget about dropping in nov. if he was to put out that album right now he would probably do about 200-250 thousand the 1st week. thats not good enough. especially when considering he’s already spent 3 mill MAKING the album. hopefully kanye/def jam have a solid plan in place because right now ts not looking too good, lets be honest
r u nuts dude? lil wayne has one great selling album and all of a sudden he’s the sales king? kanye did 800,000 first week for late registration. did 900,000 for graduation, and even wit that piece of shit 808’s still did like 5 i think. get ur facts straight dog, Ye will do his numbers.
Yeah honestly, Kanye put out that 808s album that over half his fanbase was NOT cool with and he still went gold first week. He’s a sales machine.
wutang steady tryna sell kayne’s record…if u aint getting paid u should u on this page praising the nigga..wow
my facts were straight. on ALL of those albums u mentioned there were multiple top 10 hits before the album was released thats why they sold. POWER is not a big hit at ALL. thats why the album keeps getting pushed back. until he gets one he can expect to see a significant drop in sales. lil wayne has always gone at least gold on all of his 7 albums and leading up to the carter 3 had only gone platinum twice thats why he dosent have to have a big lead up to his albums because they dont always expect him to do 3 million like the c3 did.
kanyes fans are supportive as fuck, and every good friday song has been hot as shit. lil wayne sucks balls. triple platinum on 1 fucken album, congradulations. Game doubled that with his debut, and hes not even close to one fo the biggest names in rap.
kanye fans are supportive as dick riders
banks murder nicki and kanye on the first rhyme of a song
THE HUNGER FOR MORE 2 NOV.23RD
SUPPORT REAL HIP HOP
STOP SUPPORTING FAGS
LOL, you know you’re still going to support Kanye since he did do work on HFM2, right?…
Miguel is right, dude. Kanye’s appearing on Hunger for More 2. Does that mean you’re not gonna buy the album now, since you obviously don’t support, in your own words, “FAGS”?
told yall niggas that other story would get pulled on the quicks too much free thought is bad 4 business.
and guess what they replaced it with yet another kanye story!!!
lil wayne=best rapper alive
but kanye west=rap god..
Hahaha funniest comment I’ve read all month
go fuck yourself while you listen to wayne on me
The best all around artist of decade… Talking Producion,Lyrics,Content,Flow
others are better in one catagory but all combined few come close
As a package West is a Master
On that note, I definitely agree.
total joke of a post
I don’t say this very often, ESPECIALLY when it comes to mainstream rap… but I would not be completely shocked if this album isn’t a classic. He’s already done it with College Dropout and Late Registration, and with the producers he’s got on board and the improvement I’ve heard in his recent verses, he may be on track to do it again.
wutang straight doin it, good job promoting a nigga you dont even know. YO & calling yourself “wutang” really gives the reader the association that you should know about good hiphop….hahaha nigga go home!
Kanye West saved Hip-Hop. The music industry needs more talented artists like Ye. This will be the biggest release week for music this year. Nicki Minaj will be dropping her debut album Pink Friday, Lloyd Banks will be dropping his album Hunger For More 2, Akon will be dropping his album Akonic, Ne-Yo will be dropping his album Libra Scale, and Flo Rida will be dropping his album The Only 1.

shut up!!
u’re list kept getting whacker n whacker
neyo aint hiphop.
I’m from Cali and i keep hearing about his protege i found this sh*t.. but it seems way to under the radar to be tru

this album will give recovery a run for its money
lets see if this album is a classic
Duce Rivas Brain Pollution Episode 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZiWe3i7Ato
This is the truth: West is going to sell atleast 700k-1M his first week. I highly doubt anything below 500k. I would bet money on it if I could.
more like 200,000. 300,000 at the most
nobody is buying and the rest of the numbers will be fake from the label.
not going to come close to em recovery and lot of that was faked also
yo et off ems dick already. sheesh
what a stupid post dude.
don’t give a fuck about em
just stating facts of what recovery numbers were.
when the fuck did this site get overrun by fags saying record labels buy 100s of thousands of cds of their own rappers. please go post somewhere else with your gay ass conspiracy theories.
yeah and that fake post will change the truth don’t think so
Ye is hands down a gift to the game whether he is or isnt a jackass ha even is whack shit goes hard as fuck and no one can deny it. he aint gonna break records in the 1st week, but no doubt he’s gonna sell a ton of albums..prly 900,000?
Why do y’all bother arguing over who is the best. Music is all opinion. There is no best there is only your favorite. Your favorite artist doesn’t have to be the next mans favorite, understand that first and foremost.
