Kanye West's new release, "808's And Heartbreak" is now scheduled to be released this November 25th. This serves as good news for fans who had expected the original release date of December 16th.
During a surprise appearance at rapper T.I.'s MySpace-sponsored show in Los Angeles on Friday, West said to the audience, "We just finished the album. I just got back from Hawaii earlier today."
Yeezy then broke into a track titled "Heartless," which he confirmed is the set's second single. The first single off the album, "Love Lockdown", has sold 402,000 digital downloads in just two weeks of release, according to Nielsen Soundscan, and debuted at a career-best No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jay-Z will also be offering another treat for fans, as he teams up once again with members of the group Coldplay. The band will release an eight-song EP titled "Prospekt's March," which will include a new version of the song "Lost" featuring the Brooklyn MC. The album is scheduled to be released on November 25th.
In other Jay-Z news, the rapper had to cancel Monday's free "Obama" concert due to reported throat conditions. Thousands of fans at the Bayfront Park Amphitheater were left disappointed as it appeared to be a last minute cancellation for the Miami show. No word yet on if he plans to reschedule .

dont we already kno this......but anyways they need to give us a track list or somthin and u notice kanye one of the rapper's who album didnt leak
yea anotha 50 vs kanye would be raw too tho but this album gon be raw as hell just need to stick to more rappin than singing
ye more rapping
im not feeling all this singing shit
its ruining hip hop
ye singin isnt ruining hip hop cause its not hip hop... its a rapper tryin to sing... i dont like it when rappers sing but i wouldnt say its fuckin up hip hop but a lot of rappers need to stick to rappin instead of movin on to this r&b stuff
Another 50 vs Kanye wouldn't work on this one. 808 & Heartbreak is not gonna really appeal to hip-hop headz. It is really more for the mainstream fans. I'm not saying that there won't be a few tracks that are good, but it is a whole new direction than his previous 3 albums. Not going to be what you expect at all. So stacking that up against 50 would be like stacking up the N.E.R.D. album against 50. 2 different kinds of music. PEACE listening to "I'm So Paid" by Akon (and I am NOT feeling it!)

PERSONALLY i would be doin what kanyes doing. the reason i say this is because when u can make MONEY on such a simple thing like adding autotune to your song and singing. why not? i understand he sound better when he raps but if u were in his position trying to make money and rap aint sellin right now id do the same.
aww come on jay...the show was FREE, its not like they were gonna PAY and get a shitty concert, he should have just given them what they paid for lol

Word up how bout another 50 vs kanye
kanye will have another good alblum hands down!
yea but i think fif kinda gave up on that battle. if he tries to go up against him again i think hell lose even worse considering shitty love lockdown already sold half a mil. but for real ye needs to stop singin if i wanted r n b id go buy a chris brown album or somethin. these rappers r sellin out if u do something strictly for money but u lose ur true original fans for it, that is the DEFINITION OF SELLING OUT MY FRIENDS. i wanna hear this new track he has out now or whatever tho n a confirmed track list. nov 25 is unfortunately not too far away...

my board is hotter than yours so ha ha ha
I'm worried about Kanye's album for what I have heard about it. A whole ablum of the T-Pain shit? (shakes head in shame) Why stop doing something that has been working for you the past three albums?
Kanye don't care
the thing that i dont like about jay-z is he do evrything for money like how can u have everybody come out to see u and u cancel it n the last minute. all jay-z do his music and other shit he do it for money the dude is about to be a billionaire damn do something free when nas had that strike on Fox News he never backed down
