If you thought Kanye West was getting ready to slow down then think again. The Hip-Hop visionary has announced his intentions to release his 6th studio album this summer. Furthermore, the West also has plans to drop a joint project with his mentor, Jay-Z, entitled ‘Watch The Throne’, in 2 months.
However, don’t expect West to give up on his platinum-certified ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ just yet as the video for his new single, ‘All Of The Lights (Ft. Rihanna, John Legend, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi & Elton John)’, premieres next month.
See West’s official announcement below:

he needs to sit down…he’s not making anything epic, sorry! his music is so self absorbed, i’m surprised people still buy into it. his ego is tooooooo big and i’ma feel bad for him when he loses fans because of it.
True.
All of the lights shud be a good international single. I hope the 2nd single from Watch The Throne will be more of an anthem type than HAM. And for his 6th studio album, I would like to hear him go back to some of his old stuff. But Go Kanye!
Kanye will Definitely be up for some awards this year!!!! Go Mr.West 😀
I feel a lil bitter by this. ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ is a masterpiece. I think she should put more effort promoting it world wide. this album still has a lot of potential to sell beyond its selling now.
where is the official Monster Video?
“All the Lights ” should have been a single?
When will he go on tour?
I find it funny Rated R and Kanye’s recent albums were both certified Platinum (so far Rated R has sold more overall), yet Rihanna was repeatedly bashed for putting out an album a year later, calling her songs “fast food music”, and desperate to remain relevant. But with Kanye it’s a different story. Sam and Trent are pathetic hypocrites.
What?!?!
PLEASE NO. He JUST barely released an album late last year.
Why are these people so desperate, and spotlight hungry? Sheesh.
interesting
yeah he has a big ego haha
he must have not been totally satisfied with his last album maybe?
Isnt one flop album enough? hahahhahah i joke!
I don’t get why he’s doing this. I don’t see any huge success in it.
What happened to BDTF album promotion? it\s a very good album.
What happened to the finished Monster video? Um, All of The Lights is a good song but I don’t see it doing that well. By the time he drops the video his Watch The Throne album would be out. I feel so over whelmed by all this and it’s not even me…..lol
What the hell is Mr West doing?
Im sorry, but when people have that big ego’s, they have to be knocked down.
@ Daniel:
So going platinum after two months is flopping? Dumbass. Don’t act like your fave will be ruling the charts forever, for all you know someday people will be making fun of her for flopping.
Why are people so against artists realeasing multiple albums in short amounts of time?? If they feel that they have some great material and want to share it with the public then I’m all for it, especially if it’s from Kanye. I can never get enough music from this man, and YESSSS MBDTF is an absolute masterpiece.
*Blinks Eye*….I thought we were talking about Kanye? How in the hell did another album get into this conversation?….Anyways, Im not to sure about this guy. If he releases an album better than College Dropout and Late Registration, then Im all ears.
SN: Why do people praise 808s&Heartbreaks? I bought that album, and it screwed my whole mood up. Everytime a listen to that album, I get a urged to cut my wrist from feeling so depressed…..
@True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue
Actually he has sold 915,000 in the states so far.. and remember, he sold close to 500,000 in the first week and yeh for a big name, because that what he is… its a flop! Everyone knows who he is… everyone knows how highly he thinks of himself.
Taylor isnt cocky, shes a very sweet girl, and no she wont rule the charts forever, but she will be known as a person who doesnt think they’re gods best creation.
Ok, maybe the project he’s doing with Jay will come out this year, but I don’t think he’s going to release another full length studio, Kanye West LP by the summer. Ye’s done this before, when after one or two months following the release of “808’s” he said that another album was coming out in the summer, and it never materialized.
The only album I have of his is Graduation, and it isn’t like 808’s didn’t come out a year after Graduation. So it wouldn’t be surprising if he released another album in the fall.
941,000 copies sold * its 1 million shipment
@ BeySoBreezy:
But the raw pain is what makes that album so great. It came from the heart. My only gripe with that album is the Auto-Tune.
@ Daniel:
He’s been cocky since day one. So he should’ve been “flopping” ages ago. And it’s nice to know that people buy music based on personality and not quality or talent, so that explains Taylor’s appeal. Thanks for confirming what I’ve known all along.
I highly doubt that. I remember that MBDTF (it was Good Ass Job at the time) was supposed to come out in June of 2009 and look how that turned out.
I do feel sure that Watch the Throne will come out in March, though.
@TaylorSwift’s#1Fan
Platinum is not a flop. And since when was Taylor Swift humble?
@ True blue No, he shouldnt have been flopping ages ago at all.. people can someone being cocky for sometime, but after awhile people get tired of it… its like if some person annoys you.. you’ll take it for awhile.. but theres only so much you take, before you tell them to stop!
Trueblue, you seem to always bring Taylor into every blog i comment on.. like if i say something negative.. you’ll bring up taylor.. could you not change the tune for gods sake!!
Shes only one artist i like.. shes not my whole life… and people dont buy music based just on the likeability of the artist, but if they come across nice, im gonna be more likely to buy their music.
@RihannaForever
Taylor is humble, i doubt you’d see her boast about her sales… or how amazing she is.. besides, lets not bring taylor in to it.
He isnt Platinum in the states yet…. based on the actual sales.
@TaylorSwift’sNumber1Fan
No, no she isn’t.
And besides, that isn’t what sales are based off of. Certifications are awarded when that album ships 500,000, 1 million, or a number of multiple million copies.
Who gives a s***, frankly. This man’s albums get worse everytime (with the exception of Graduation to 808s).
Kanye West>>>>>>>>>>>>Taylor “Mediocre” Swift. Now let’s move on….
@RihannaForever
Yeah, they’re awarded based on the shipments… but thats not really a good indication on how much the albums sold really.. some shops buy way to many albums for the demand, and it makes artists, look more popular then they really are.
@Drew/@TrueBlue
I was just wondering what you guys thought of this. I was reading this poll somewhere online this morning and it was asking which pop stars grow with each record – you were able to choose three of the following:
-Beyonce
-Taylor Swift
-Rihanna
-Lady Gaga
-P!nk
-Avril Lavigne
-Kesha
-Katy Perry
I said Beyonce, P!nk, and Gaga.
@TaylorSwift’sNumber1Fan
Like Taylor, for example. Every time I go to CD stores and other stores that sell CDs, there are a million copies of Speak Now and no one ever grabs one.
@ Daniel:
I bring up Taylor when it is relevant, and in this case it is relevant because I know your dislike of Kanye is because of what happened at the 2009 VMAs. Otherwise you wouldn’t care that much.
And lots of talented musicians are cocky, do all of them flop and lose fans when their music still remains of interest? Your logic is dumb. You forget that prior to Taylor he did go up onstage at the EMAs and interrupted a group he lost out to. Did his albums flop then? No. He’s been known to publicly throw tantrums for not winning awards. Did he flop then? No. And he’s always turned lots of people off with his arrogance, but it has never affected his music sales because his fans know by now not to expect humility and graciousness from him, all we expect from him is good music, and that’s it. When he stops delivering the goods on the music front, that’s when we’ll move on from him.
RihannaForever
Omg, taylor swift is meantion again…. Taylor swift album has sold 3 million and 48 thousand copies in the states… not shipments… and is still in the top 3… so its still selling.
IDK I think All of The Lights could be a hit(its my fave off the album)not just cause of Rihanna but cause its a good song. Im not sure if ill be checking for that collabo;I have to hear more singles cause HAM didnt do it for me. As far as him putting out another album as long as its goog ill support. I agree it is too soon but hey it is what it is. I have all his albums and so far I havent been disappointed.
@Reasonable Voice Im not a Rih fan but I agree it is hypocritical of them call her out and not Kanye.
@Beysobreezy LOL you sound just like my sis. I was listening to 808’s one day in the car and she was like “WTF IS THIS”. It is a depressing album but diffrent I guess thats why I like it
@Taylor Yea I admit his HUGE EGO is sometimes a turnoff but I love his music so much that I sometimes overlook it. But I aint gonna deny that my fave has an ego problem lol
@TaylorSwift’sNumber1Fan
I never said it wasn’t selling, but you wanted to bring up the fact that album shipments don’t truly represent an artist when Taylor is a perfect example of that.
@ RF:
I agree with all your choices, that’s exactly who I would pick.
@Rihanna4ever
I agree with your choices completely, but I’m just wondering what compelled you not to choose Rihanna…
@trueblueYou bought up taylor, when i tallked about janet jackson miming… what thats got to do with taylor??? Nothing at all.
I dont just disliike him because of that… He’s helped taylor if anything.. obviously i was annoyed at him, but if you look at other comments on this blog…. you will see others saying his cocky.. i just dont like cocky people.
Nope, he didnt flop then.. but that wasnt as high profile as what he did to taylor, because taylor is a young girl, and Im just bringing up the fact.. for all his cockness.. he isnt selling that well really is he??? Looks like his fans are getting tired now. Remember..this came out over christmas time aswell.. when sales are at the highest.. and still hasnt managed to pass 1 million…
@RihannaForever
Yeh thats why i gave you the actuall sales figures and not the shipments:)which would have been much higher… but i dont lie to make taylor look more popular
@TaylorSwiftsNumber1Fan
Not to be rude, but are you a 12-year-old or something? Your way of speech on this site and thought process is frankly, very juvenile.
@Drew
The only reason I didn’t include Rihanna in that is because she’s grown to a lesser extent than the other 3. Rihanna grew with each record until Loud. It’s hard to classify, simply because I think Loud is her best record but also because it’s so different than Rated R. Although, in my opinion, Loud is her best record, she never seems to put enough feeling into upbeat music which was paramount following such an emotional record like Rated R.
@RihannaForever Im not 12.. nope. How is my thought process juvenile, when i just explained my reasons for using actual sales firgures and not shipments.. if anything im the one whos the adult thinking person here!!.. but okay thats your opinion.
@TaylorSwift’sNumber1Fan
13? And your thought process/way of speech:
“@RihannaForever
Yeh thats why i gave you the actuall sales figures and not the shipments:)which would have been much higher… but i dont lie to make taylor look more popular”
YAWN. he’ll never top his first record. He’s not hungry anymore, he’s just greedy
@RihannaForever Yeh sorry, im not good with speech etc.. I’ve always struggled with it. No im older then that.
@ Daniel:
You were asking who would pay money to see someone lip-sync for two hours. Did you really think you weren’t gonna get dragged when you questioned Janet’s talent with a name like yours?
And I have never denied Kanye’s arrogance, I call him out for his cocky behavior just the same. Other people calling him cocky isn’t the point. The point is you’re still smarting over the VMA incident, because he had the nerve to interrupt your fave. And Kanye has pulled stunts that were just as high profile. Remember the Hurricane Katrina telethon? If his arrogance was enough to bring down his album sales, he would’ve flopped long ago. Going platinum in two months isn’t flopping, and there are more believable reasons for his album not selling more than him being cocky.
@ RF:
I completely agree with you. See, you’re too rational to be a stan.
@TrueBlue
I actually get that quite a lot.
@ In my opinion Janet is over rated… and yeh you can say taylor is too.. but then shes not seen as a legend.. and obviously rightly so.. but for a person that mimes loads, has an average at best voice and doesnt play instruments that you can see when shes proforms her songs…. yeh she dances.. but what the f*** has dancing got to do with the lyrics to a song.. theres no connection.. its all for show.. nothing more.
Yeh okay, i see you point, that said, i dont like his music anyways.. except the song he did with twister.. Slow Jamz. and the one with brandy.
@ Daniel:
Her music, videos and skills as a performer are why she’s considered legendary, not to mention the fact she’s influenced plenty of today’s pop stars. No different than Madonna, do you question her popularity as well?
And what the f*** does dancing have to do with a song? Oh, it’s got a LOT to do with a song when the songs are made for dancing! And what would be the point of her making videos for those songs and performing them if all she was gonna do is stand there and sing? Might you apply that same logic to her brother, Prince, Madonna as well as other popular artists of their era? BTW, I see you on Britney posts, and you never say anything negative about her when all she does is lip-sync, and doesn’t even dance well. Care to explain the bias?
And so what she doesn’t play instruments? Since when was playing instruments a requirement for being a credible artist?
@TAYLOR SWIFT’S 1 FAN
Seriously, the s*** that comes out your mouth.
Taylor isn’t in any way creative. She tells the same damn story with each record.
Yes she’s a great songwriter, but not a very versatile songwriter.
Besides songwriting, there’s honestly nothing special about her.
@TRUE BLUE
I must admit though, Madonna is vastly over rated.
She’s a icon because of her image, not her talent.
😛 😛 😛 I love this, I love my boy friend. He is a nice guy.
i met him via ———-B lack Wh ite F li rts. C” 0- M—————–

@ Kavion:
Wouldn’t being a great songwriter go hand-in-hand with being creative and versatile, though?
And as for Madonna, meh…
@TRUE BLUE
I mean she’s great at the subject that she writes about.
Like someone could be a great horror movie writer, for example.
However if they can only write horror movies, I would definantly not call them versatile
@ Kavion:
OK, I understand you. Although the reason I wouldn’t classify her as a great songwriter is not only because of he lack of versatility, but the childish tone of her lyrics.
* but because of the childish tone of her lyrics.
@true blue I’d rather see an artist just stand there and sing, if it means they’d sing live.. rather then mime the song and do some dancing. if i wanted to see some dancing.. i’d go to a dancing show!!
January 12, 2011 at 2:39 am
“I like britney, but shes mines to much.. which makes me go of her. She still has a huge fan base though, that will stick by her.. so i can see her album doing well, when it comes out.”
Dont belive i made that comment.. check the link.. its about 30 comments in… so that disproves i have some sort of bias that you seem to think i have!!.
http://thatgrapejuice.net/2011/01/britney-spears-promo-pic/
@kavion Omg, another person bringing taylor into it and Please god, saying Madonna is vastly over rated, when she wrote 10 of her 12 number 1’s in the uk.. thats nothing more to be said,
@TRUE BLUE
I have to applaud her for her growing up in Speak Now.
Though it sounded VERY forced. She seemed like she was trying to be like “Look, i’m a lot more mature now” I mean she went from songs about being fifteen to marriage in one record?
“you never say anything negative about her” will you eat your words now?
@TAYLOR SWIFTS 1 FAN
Writing isn’t everything. The quality of your music needs to be great.
Souljah boy and Gucci Mane write their own lyrics, yet their horrible.
Who cares if Madonna writes her own songs? They lack substance and her vocals are lackluster, period. Also I was actually giving Taylor credit, but in a honest way.
@Immani
Different indeed..lol, but I completely understand why he would feel that way since he lost his mother or in Kanyes’ words, “The Only Girl In The World That Knew Him Best”. I dont know what I would do without my mother.
@TrueBlue
I agree…
@kavion Kavion, obvious the songs must be good, if they hit number 1.. and this was in the 80’s where the music is actually seen as better then now days.. Madonna’s wrote a lot of love songs..plus most of janets songs are songs to dance to.. and most of theose kind of songs dont have substance.. i say most!
I admit taylor isnt a good singer.. shes just an average one… and her songs aint to mature… but im not saying shes a legened. i just like her.
@ Kavion:
Yeah, and you can notice her slip back into her immaturity, like the song “Mean”, for instance.
I didn’t mind her lyrics at all when she was writing those songs at 15, 16, but now she’s 21. I expect better songwriting. Didn’t Mariah write/co-write her songs on her first record when she was like, 20? And Hayley Williams from Paramore, she’s been writing songs from a teenager’s point of view since she was 16, but even those lyrics are more mature than Taylor’s.
@ Daniel:
I made one comment before you in that post, and I promptly left. I didn’t even stick around to read the other posts. Also, I’ve already explained to you how her dancing relates to her music.
@ Daniel:
Also Janet writes songs too.
@true blue.. Yeh so i have made a negative comment about britney miming aswell as janet, so when you try and make out that im just saying it for artist that i dont like.. and not talking about it when one of my favs does.. that is a lie.. if taylor swift started miming, i would say so.
@True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue Okay, well i guess i’ll never see why shes thought of as a legend, but then that word is used so much… next it will be used in the same sentance as rihanna or taylor… actually i’d rather see rihanna then janet. no lie.
YEAH!!! “All of the lights” is a good song!
@TAYLOR’S NUMBER 1 FAN
Madonna’s songs lack substance, she can’t sing, she has times where she literally shows zero class. She doesn’t wow me as a performer, she’s ovverated.
Her VMA performance is the only one of hers that gives me chills.
Look at this woman:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2BRzU0PG3I
@TRUE BLUE
Exactly, she’s showing little growth. It’s getting old.
Usher had songs with sexual inuendos at SIXTEEN so why can’t Taylor at least show some adulthood? I like that she’s so relatable, but when everyone of your anologies are references to a fairytale, there’s a problem
@TAYLOR SWIFTS 1 FAN
Also, like a G6 hit number one, is that a good song?
@ Kavion:
LOL, well I’m not asking for Taylor to start writing sexual songs, but I do want to see her writing songs like an adult, not like a little girl. I mean, it’s cute on one song or two, it shows precociousness, but when 90% of your songs are written in that style, it makes me wonder if she’s really grown up at all.
But I wouldn’t say that all of Madonna’s songs lack substance. Frozen, Papa Don’t Preach, Take A Bow, The Power of Goodbye, just to name a few, don’t lack substance at all.
@TAYLOR’S NUMBER 1 FAN
Haha. love that clip… I think this shows her in a good light though.. doesnt that show tthat shes just one of us… aka your average person having a laugh? you wouldnt see mariah do that. or would you rather see someone who holds back infront of the camera to be seen in a good light?
If you looked at all the songs that have made the charts.. you would see how many well known songs she has.
Hearing the G6 song for the first time, just now.. no its a load of crap. why?
^^^@ Kavion opps haha
Madonna- live to tell
Madonna – You’ll See
Classics!!
Madonna – Crazy For You Classic
Theres so many!!
If the albums are good, I’ll call him a champ for being able to put out good quality works so fast; if they suck, then he’s retarded for rushing stuff. I’m interested to see how this works out.
Smh, none of you understand an artist’s mind. Its all politics with you people! Apparently Kanye is producing so much music becuase he is inspired to do so. The only reason that it seems bizzar is that he has the platform to actually release all the music he is making on a global scale. Good for him I say.
Kanye is far from the 1st artist to produce at such a rapid pace. Stevie Wonder had a run simmilar to this. So did Prince, 2pac; and let’s not forget his Big Bro Jay-Z, who averaged at 1 album every 7 months in his prime. As long as the music is from the heart, which it has been since the begining of his career, what’s there to gripe about?
@Beysobreeezy
Agreed. I bump heads w/my mom a lot but in all honesty I would be devastated if something happened to her
Seriously why is there a Taylor Swift fan on this blog?
Does this person not realize that this site barely is ever post anything about Taylor Swift, therefore making their opinion void and irrelevant.
@Anthony The Great Do you like an artist, that never gets mentioned on here.. if so.. does that make your opinion void and irrelevant.. i think not. so i guess that makes your point irrelevant. faill
*if ever
@Taylor Swift Fan
Yes, I do like other artists that never get mentioned on here, but I also never bring them up to put down an other artist. You call anyone who is not doing Taylor Swift numbers a flop, therefore making your opinion irrelevant.
Omg yal b****** get the f*** outta here. Yal exchange numbers already and shut the hell up. Can some b**** PLEASE say something about Kanye West or anything on topic?

_______________________
Well You can’t really say Gaga since we have only heard one album from her.
^^^ One EP, though. That counts.
@TAYLOR SWIFTS 1 FAN
Thats what i was saying, the song is horrible yet it’s a number one hit.
Numbers don’t mean anything.
& lmao that clip does NOT show she’s just one of us, most of us wouldn’t be doing that s*** in public
@TRUE BLUE
I was just using Usher as an example lol..and I know she has songs with substance, but most of them aren’t hits & TWN1F was talking about hits
i see some one wasn’t satisfied with hes sales #desperatehousewive
I was hoping Kanye focus on promoting MBDTF for a while. That has so many great songs I’d like to see become singles. I wonder what the rush is all about. I don’t care for him teaming up with Jay already, now on top of that he’s releasing another album. Too much, Ye’ ! Don’t be a jack of all trades when your a king. It’s great to get your hands on new music (especially if it’s good), but don’t let it kill the momentum your building with the album you have out right now.
*The Page with RoyalKev / January 31, 2011(Where there’s a place for everything and everything has its place).
@Anthony The Great I never bought up taylor on this blog actually as with many others…. other people always bring her up. So thats proved your point wrong.
@kavion Haha, you’ve not see what girls are like in london.. you’d find a lot that would do that.
F*** Taylor Swift, that b**** can’t stay on one d***…she hops like a f****** rabbit…smh…
Kanye West can do what ever the hell he wants……
an artist personality and personal life should have nothing to do with the end product….unless his ego has personally hurt your feelings i say get over it…he makes great music with really good lyrical content for a mainstream rapper…why don’t you attack a rapper that deserves it like waka flocka or gucci mane and be happy there are a few good rapper out there trying new stuff, switching it up and producing good stuff….if you want his old sh*t buy his old album #HOVA
and people complain on Rih mybitch releasing albums every year? Hm. However, I am actually looking forward to see some now music from Kanye ALTHOUGH he could have milked so many sales from MBDTF with just a little more promotion and singles. Hmmm.
new music**
Yes sit down!!!
