A new Kanye West release hit the web November 17, and it wasn’t his newest album, 808s & Heartbreak, which is slated for release just before Thanksgiving weekend. Sky High, a new West mixtape featuring remixes of tracks the rapper produced for various big-name hip-hop DJs and producers, served as a little taste for fans anxiously awaiting 808s & Heartbreak. Compiled by DJ Benzi and Kanye’s friend Plain Pat, Sky High was released on http://Imeem.com first and then distributed to hip-hop blogs afterward. Benzi, who calls Ann Arbor, Michigan home, told MTV that the mixtape was commissioned by West and his camp just over a year ago when he was given a cappellas and other session tapes primarily from West’s albums Late Registration and Graduation. Among the remixers that appear on Sky High are Kanye West’s former touring DJ A-Track, New York DJ legend Stretch Armstrong, club-rap producer Diplo, and house music king Kenny Dope. Benzi told MTV that “each remix had at least five revisions before finally complete. And I’m sure it drove some of the producers insane. In the end, I’m psyched about the project. I think we did all of his classics justice.” While you get psyched about West’s two new releases, try http://www.stubhub.com/kanye-west-tickets for Kanye West tickets.

Rapper Kanye West is no stranger to the other side of the studio glass, as he got his start in the music business producing hits like “This Can’t Be Life” for Jay-Z. The hip-hop king was so impressed with West that he gave him a major-label recording contract, and in 2004 Kanye West released his debut album, The College Dropout. The album debuted at number two and showed that making the jump from producer to MC was seamless for West with popular singles like “All Falls Down,” “Through the Wire” and “Jesus Walks.” With his next two releases, 2005’s Late Registration and 2007’s Graduation (are you sensing a theme yet?), West soared to the Number One spot on the charts and

A few weeks ago I was getting ready to start my road trip to Chicago. I started flipping through my CD’s for something new to listen to since Blueprint 3 needed a break. I came across Kanye West’s Late Registration (the real CD not a burnt copy) and had to bump it. After rapping along for over an hour and fast forwarding over the few dry spots I thought to myself “that album was the shit”. A great album from front to back. That can be said for most of Kanye’s albums. (I do not have any idea about 808 and Heartbreaks since my ears, mind and musical soul boycotted the album). However my two hour road trip with the Late Registration Kanye West made something painfully obvious…………

We, ladies and gentlemen are watching the fall of Mr. West; in part to EGO and musical lane shifting.

He hinted that his ego was out of control years ago but we didn’t listen. We said that’s just Kanye being Kanye and let him get away with all kinds of silly shit. First he told us Bush didn’t like black people, maybe…… But then he went crazy on every award show and acted like a child when he didn’t win. We all know about the Taylor Swift incident but his latest blunder is mind bending. Kanye now thinks that if they rewrote a modern day Bible he should be in it. WOW!! We are the only ones to blame for this since we didn’t shut him down sooner.

I’m all for artistic growth and keeping it moving but stay within your lane. I want my rappers to rap and my R &B singers to sing, simple. Don’t go switching lanes at high speeds nothing good will come of it. 808 and Heartbreaks sold and he got some awards, which only made the ego worst. But history has proven time and time again. that every rapper that starts going soft and singing will fail. Bone Thugs Crossroads was a big hit and downhill from there. Ja Rule had one two many duets and look at him now. Even 50 who came in the game making funny of Ja’s singing started singing and guess what, downhill. No tight pants, no mullet jheri curl looking thingy or sunglasses with lines in them just good music please.  It’s not too late for him to calm it down, get back to rapping and dating chicks like Amber Rose. He does that and everything will be all good.

But that’s just my thought.
