Kanye West Confirms Upcoming Disc, Jabs Back At 50 Cent – “I Guarantee This Will Be His Favorite Album of Mine”

Hip-Hop superstar Kanye West has finally come forward to reveal details about his highly anticipated upcoming album, 808s & Heartbreak.

With his new R&B tinged single “Love Lockdown” climbing up the charts and reaching No. 3 on iTunes’ Top Songs countdown, Ye took the time to write in his renowned blog showing his appreciation to fans.

“HEY THANX EVERYONE,” the headline reads. “PRETTY DOPE FOR THE FIRST DAY!!!”

In addition to embracing his fan base for their purchases of the track, Ye also wrote about his work sessions schedule and officially confirmed his fourth album’s title.

“I just woke up from a quick studio nap…I’ve been workin’ on 808s & Heartbreak about 16 hrs a day and Superman passed out for a little bit,” he explained. “I’m in hawaii but I’m still on NY time so I wake up mad early, do some business, blog, jog for an hour, play ball, eat and then hit the stu by noon.”

Prior to landing in Hawaii, Ye was involved in an altercation with paparazzi at California’s LAX airport last week (September 11) before being arrested and later released on $20,000 bail. While across the waters, the multi-platinum selling rapper hinted at an upcoming video for his new single.

“While approving the final cut for the ‘Love Lockdown’ vid, I marvel at the fact that it was written less than 3 weeks ago,” he wrote. “I’m very excited about the everything…”

After receiving a slight mocking by former SoundScan competitor 50 Cent of his new song, Ye had this to say, “I guarantee this will be 50’s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.”

As of now, there is no official release date for 808s & Heartbreak.
