Kanye West is a finicky flier. A source said the rapper threw a fit at LAX Monday night on his way back to New York from the Grammys after he and his assistant were seated in business class instead of first.

Dear New Kanye West Album 2010-

You haven’t arrived yet, but I await your arrival with anticipation. Will you spout your poetry to me? Like that one time? Okay, I know I wasn’t supposed to leak that, but you know what your music and your words do to me!

You’re like an overdue library fee stuck in the back of my mind. I know I need to do something about it, but it’s kinda a hassle with all the other words and books around, you know?

Seriously – your new album. What’s the deal? We’re ALL waiting for it to drop and you don’t EVEN LET US KNOW ON YOUR BLOG IN YOUR WAY? (And I wonder if you have a ghost-blogger writing for you. If you ask, I will purchase you a new keyboard that doesn’t have the CAPS LOCK stuck. That’s just how I roll.

Anyway. As I said, waiting for your new album in 2010 to drop and I thought I’d send a shout out to this blog that’s all about you. Will you read this and respond to me? You remember me, don’t you?

That one city. That one time.

That one line. That one rhyme.

Signed,
New 2010 Kanye West Album Fan

My reaction? I’m still not sure.

You have something you want Kanye West to read but don’t know how to get ahold of him? Send it to me and I’ll post it on the Internet. Granted, you could do that on your own somewhere – your own blog – but maybe someday when he’s waiting in line for something Mr. West himself will stop by the site. Wouldn’t you kick yourself then if I gave you a chance to send him an “open letter” for the world to see and you passed up the chance.

Right?

So get typing. Just start it “Dear Kanye West…”

Kanye West: VH1 Storytellers

The first album of singer, rapper, actor and record producer Kanye West to be available in 2010 is scheduled to be released in January and is a live album that it is entitled “Kanye West: VH1 Storytellers.”

VH1 Storytellers is a television music series where the artist performs in front of a small group of people and tells them stories regarding his songs. This album would be available as a DVD or a two-disc CD.

In the original episode from which the album is based and was aired on February 28, 2009, West had demonstrated his musical talent but it also showcased his inability to discuss the personal stories that were the bases of his music. He admitted that it was very difficult for this to describe some of the things that caused him to write those songs.

In making the album, VH1 had to remove about half of the session in Los Angeles that had lasted for three hours. The primary reason for cutting those parts was the use of profane words by West especially when describing his reaction to certain people like frontman Thom Yorke.

Still, executive producer Bill Flanagan and the other members of the network had tried their best to retain the essence of the West episode. Some of the interesting parts of West’s discussions in the episode that were left untouched include his comments on O.J. Simpson, Michael Phelps and Michael Jackson.

With regards to a real album, the controversial West is still in the process of recording the still untitled work. He has vowed to finally push through with his work in 2010 after this was temporarily shelved after his tour with Lady Gaga was canceled and his unexpected interruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for the Best Female Video award at the 2009 Video Music Awards.

Kanye West the Poet?

Doing his best to restore his damaged image, singer and rapper Kayne West has vowed in his blog to finally push through with his derailed next album in 2010 and compared himself to poets after his infamous blunder at the 2009 Video Music Awards forced him to withdraw voluntarily from the limelight.

Many were surprised when West unexpectedly grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift as she was giving her acceptance speech for the Best Female Video award. West interrupted Swift to declare that Beyonce is the best female video artist of all time.

In his blog, West announced that he is resuming the recording of his next album and he compared himself to poets Maya Angelou and Gil Scott-Heron and singer-activist Nina Simone. He declared that while many rappers tend to become worse in time, true poets tend to get better as they age.

He explained that poets and artists have to represent events in their works so that when those who have the power want to rewrite history, people can always depend on their works to learn what had really happened.

However, the question remains whether West can be considered to be a true poet. This is a difficult question to answer and may only be answered in time because it is the people who will finally be the judge on whether West is really an artist and a poet.

Perhaps, a substantial number of people still believe that West has made important contributions at least to music if not to poetry because he has nominations to six awards at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards to be held on January 31, 2010.

And because songs may be considered as poetry, especially when they express a person’s feelings, perhaps there is some weight to West’s claim that he is a poet.

Graduation - Kanye West

Many Kanye West fanatics agree that Graduation is the best Kanye West album. Graduation, Kanye West’s third release in a fanciful trilogy of his scholarly albums, wears its badges of success of its predecessors on its sleeve. Apparently, matriculation pays off with rewards and it is high time to take stock.

In terms of lyrics, there are a lot of self-congratulation events worth attending to; however, the real fun here comes in the collaboration, and Kanye West chooses his co-conspirators like a graduating kid getting his candy reward from the store – Coldplay’s Chris Martin for “Homecoming”, John Legend for “Good Life”, Mos Def and the Section Quartet (great choices for the “Drunk and Hot Girls”), and he plucks his samples with top braggadocio: Steely Dan, Elton John, Can, Daft Punk, Public Enemy, and Michael Jackson.

Though Graduation technically earmarks a memorable junior year, West’s approach to completing this album was very much like a senior. This only proves that West has continued to prove and show his appreciation and understanding for different types of music as well as musical influences.

What makes people think Graduation is the best Kanye West album? Well, like most of his titles, his blindness and fearlessness to holding back boundaries, paired with his fan driven expertise and competence is an evidence that he knows what people are looking for – perspective, great voice, and most of all, great music! If you get all these in one album, wouldn’t you think this album is the best?

Kanye West New Album

Kanye West seems to have a New Year present to his fans with the Kanye West new album he is currently working on in his studio these days. From Kanye West’s revelation in his Kanyeuniversecity.com blog, Kanye revealed that he will be taking one step away from his traditional rap style on this new album, and he even described himself here as a “true poet.”

West stated that he is happy to be back making new music in the studio and even promised to bring his fans the best he has to offer with the same commitment and dedication Michael Jordan has on the basketball court. He added that he thinks it is so funny to see how many rappers get worse as they move on to stretch out their career, but poets improve and get better over time.

Kanye said he and his team will be following the footsteps of Gill Scott-Heron, Maya Angelou, and Nina Simone. He is so inspired with how their works improved with experience and time as well as how these personalities documented everything that had been happening in the culture. Kanye West said he believes that modern day poets and artists should take this as a responsibility.

West added that with the Kanye West new album, he would like to bring out a real sense of realism. With these statements of promises, it seems that his fans definitely has something to look forward to and the Kanye West new album would surely become a real hit once again!

He had the great chance to make his own designs for his own sneakers with great brands such as Nike and with his recent team up Louis Vuitton, one of the most popular signature brands today, there are no signs of Kanye West shoes saying goodbye to the limelight even in the far future. To give you an idea of what makes Kanye West shoes different from the others, read on and get to know the top 3 Kanye West Shoes in the market today.

These two great shoe mandates produced Air Yeezy in three color ways: the Zen Grey and Light Charcoal color way, Black, and the Net/Net. Because of the amazing welcome Yeezys shoes received, every retailer of Kanye West shoes always ran out of stocks.

Second on the list is the result of Kanye West’s partnership with Louis Vuitton – the Louis Vuitton x Kanye West Collection, which like Yeezy, also received a warm welcome from the consumers.
