ALL CAPS
squid brains is back!!!!!!! Two years, another
unfortunate award show (did you forget
the first one?) and a stint in rehab later, Kanye West has released his comeback single: 'Power'. It’s the first glimpse at material from his fifth studio album,
Good Ass Job, which is due out in September this year.
While
Kanye’s previous effort,
808s and Heartbreak,
attracted mixed reviews for its auto-tune focus, the follow-up is supposed to be a return to the chest thumping, hip hop swagger Yezzy is best at. It’s certainly got the production talent behind it: Q-Tip, RZA, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Soulja Boy and Madlib have made the credits. Talking about the release, DJ Premier (of Gang Starr fame) said the LP is “strictly hard beats and rhyme. He's totally done with electro. You're gonna be surprised [with] what you hear.”
While everything seems to be falling into place on the album front,
Kanye’s personal life is (once again) eclipsing his actual musical output. Unconfirmed reports say he’s split with
girlfriend Amber Rose and ponied up one million dollars for her to keep her mouth shut about their relationship. Gay fish, anyone?
Let’s take a look book at Mr West’s brilliant career to date.
