Kanye West’s 2014 Album Details Revealed By Billboard Source

    Kanye West’s 2014 album is slated to be a 12-song project that features “mostly a mixture of soul samples and tamed Yeezus-esque darkness,” according to a Billboard report that quotes an anonymous source who’s heard half the album. The source also says there is “nothing abrasive” on this effort. 

    The sound of Yeezus was praised by some, including HipHopDX, which awarded the effort with a 4.5 out of 5 in its review. However, it was criticized by many, also. 50 Cent, for example, said the following of the project“It doesn’t feel like Hip-Hop to me,” he said. “It feels like a fusion of something else, like a weird combination of dance music sounds and stuff. It’s just him being an artist, you don’t have to agree with everything an artist does.

    The Billboard report, titled “Kanye West’s 2014 Album: Everything We Know So Far,” also notes that several producers and artists have been tapped for the set, which has reportedly been recorded in Los Angeles, California in the States and Florence, Italy. Mike WiLL Made-It, Rick Rubin, Q-Tip, French Montana, Young Chop, Young Thug, James Blake, DJ Mustard and Tyga are among the acts potentially set to contribute to the album. 

    In December 23, Kanye West spoke about his next album to Rolling Stone.

    I think my next album is going to be eight songs,” West said. “It’s just reducing down the amount of information that you need. People say a design is the point where you can’t take anything else away. [Yeezus] was very, very designed. I took a departure from radio and popular music in order to get this seat here. If I hadn’t made Yeezus, I wouldn’t be sitting here with this cool font at Basel right here.”

    1. Only 8 tracks????WTF I’m done with this dumb ass nigga yo last good album was graduation yo music sucks now

      1. Damn i know that niggas can’t read but… Kanye West’s 2014 album is slated to be a 12-song project that features “mostly a mixture of soul samples and tamed Yeezus-esque darkness,”

    2. Kanye is NO GENIUS …. He’s an Art Collector, has all the hottest artists right now working on the project. I’m nervous when I see Young Thug and DJ mustard having input….

    3. Pre-orders for Carter V are rolling in. This album looks like it will open with a 1.2 million sold first week.

    4. Kanye’s a visionary in the studio so I’ll always trust his process. He hasn’t let me down yet. I just hope he doesn’t let the backlash from annoying-ass purists about Yeezus stop him from continuing to push the boundaries.

      1. Kanye’s album will flop and Kim will divorce him. I bet you’ll shed a few tears if that happens.

    5. We don’t want that Yeezus garbage anymore, nigga. That’s why you got so many mixed reviews/scores off that album. Return to the old Kanye West. That European, techno faggot shit ain’t working for you

      1. Pfft rave reviews my ass LOL. Yeah, I’m sure the white folks over @ New York Times and Huffington Post was bumping that shit in their fancy Subarus. Niggas in the hood was NOT FEELING THAT YEEZUS SHIT. IT WAS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

      2. you dumb ass faggot you stuck in the hood bumpin the old shit. me and the yeezus himself bumping the new one looking down at you peasants. eat our dicks

    6. I’m not interested in another “dark” album, the last two were enough for me. I’m still waiting on that ‘Good Ass Job’ album that he was supposed to put out after Graduation. He needs to go back to making more upbeat sounding music. I’m not impressed

    7. Fuck what you say or heard, Yeezus is a dope album. Mark my words, the album will be revisited in a few years and declared a slept on classic.

      1. It’s not slept on, everyone has heard it, it got great reviews. A lot of people don’t like it. People can’t tolerate that. Kanye dickriders get furious at this

      he was a ballerina for fuck sake haahahhahahahahha. (YES DIGITAL UNDERGROUND LOOK IT UP UNLESS YOUR IN DENIAL AND SCARED TO SEE IT)

    12. Kanye is my dude, but this sounds like its the end of his career. When a rapper like Ye has to go to the likes of Mike WiLL Made-it, Young Thug, Young Chop, French Montana, Tyga, DJ Mustard you know their career is going down. I smell desperation and see conformity and its a shame. Hopefully Ye doesn’t do it though.
