Can you recall a scene from the sessions that might help people understand his method in the studio?
We were working on a Sunday [the same day West attended a baby shower for girlfriend Kim Kardashian] and the album was to be turned in two days later. Kanye was planning to go to Milan that night. Five songs still needed vocals and two or three of them still needed lyrics. He said, “Don’t worry, I will score 40 points for you in the fourth quarter.” In the two hours before had to run out to catch the plane, he did exactly that: finished all lyrics and performed them with gusto. A remarkable feat. He had total confidence in his ability to get the job done when push came to shove.
i love it after the first listen.
don't know what you guys were expecting.
I don't think you know what that picture means....Just because some people don't like the album, that doesn't automatically place them as "haters".
WTT is really the only album that doesn't fit the analogy IMO
WTT is all star games/ dunk contest
Not a post-leather pants and skirt Kanye fan, liked him better when they wouldn't let that ***** rap and he had a chip on his shoulder. Now he's just a ******g dbag that does great production
He's actually a dbag that isn't even producing as much of his **** as he used to.
Which just makes him a ******g dbag.
This coming from a guy who's favorite record is "Can't Tell Me Nothin'". Which he also didn't produce.
Word to Toomp.
**** all this fake rage. You rich, supposedly happy with your woman and having a baby. Stop trying to be an anarchist for the sake of shock value.

Kanye West's Yeezus, due Tuesday on Def Jam, is expected to sell 500,000 copies its first week.
"That's what industry forecasters suggest," says Keith Caulfield, Billboard's associate director of charts/retail. "It's difficult to a degree to predict an album's sales until it actually goes on sale, but the closer you to are to the release date, the better you can tell. It's like a weather forecast."
The half-million mark would put the rapper's sixth studio album in the same ballpark as previous releases. Watch the Throne, 2011's collaboration with Jay-Z, opened with 436,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. West's two most recent solo albums enjoyed similar launches: 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy with 496,000, and 2008's 808s & Heartbreak with 450,000. Both were released during Thanksgiving week.
"They had a big holiday and Christmas to drive sales, and you don't have that now," Caulfield says, adding wryly, "Plus, he's missing the Father's Day window."
What may boost Yeezus is its air of secrecy and unconventional marketing. So far, the album has not leaked.
"Nobody knows what it sounds like," Caulfield says. "There's no single, no video, no formal promotional rollout. The album kind of drops out of the sky with some mystery and excitement that can drive interest."

In the year's album race, Yeezus sales of 500,000 copies would place West ahead of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, which sold 339,000 copies its first week. The tally would fall far short of Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience, which opened atop the chart in March with 968,000 copies, leaving West in second place.
That may not satisfy the rapper's outsized ego. In a New York Times interview, he dubbed himself the Michael Jordan of music and the Steve Jobs of "downtown, fashion, culture." On Wednesday, he posted a clip on his website declaring, "I am a god."
On the album chart, he is a runner-up.
I decided.
this is felon music.
"Send It Up" is the closest to techno dudes in jail gonna listen to.
