Over the past year, we’ve seen a series of strange episodes from Kanye West, which have included performing dressed in a mask and straight-jacket, and embarking on long, screaming rants during said performances. This, coupled with his very public pregnancy with girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, has almost escalated him to Michael Jackson levels of interest to [cont.]

While our Yeezus review is not quite ready yet, we have reviewed every Kanye West album throughout the span of our 17-year history. Check out our review archive of each of his albums below, from The College Dropout to Cruel Summer. The College Dropout – @@@@1/2 – By Matt Conaway Excerpt: On “Last Call”, Kanye [cont.]

One great thing about archiving all of the old HipHopSite.Com articles, interviews, and reviews, is going back and reading them years later. Here is an interview we conducted with Kanye West ten years ago, just before he released The College Dropout. Some of his philosophies have changed over the years, but he was largely the [cont.]

Kanye West delivers this two-and-a-half-minute short-film, inspired by American Psycho, to promote his new album, Yeezus.

Looks like Yeezus could not match Watch The Throne, in terms of bulletproof leaks, as the album has hit the internet today. While details have remained tightly wrapped, here is what the tracklist looks like for the Tuesday release. Look for our review of the project next week. 1. On Sight (Produced by Daft Punk) [cont.]

Interesting, Nappy Roots revisit their ten-year old Kanye West collaboration, “These Walls”. Read on: Vice President of Nappy Roots Entertainment Group, Jonathan Hay, explains, “We’ve had this song with Kanye West for exactly ten years now. I’ve wanted to re-produce this song for a long time because I’ve always felt it was never done justice [cont.]

Remember when we told you about this track some months ago and everyone called bullshit on it? Anyway. Here’s a brief clip of ‘Ye recording the track with Sir Rick Rubin.

Kanye West gave the press an exclusive advance listen to his new album, Yeezus, which hits next week, in New York City. Here, he gives a brief explanation about the album’s collaborators, which include Daft Punk (“like 3 or 4 joints”), Mike Dean, Travi$ Scott, Hudson Mohawke, and others. He also named Rick Rubin as [cont.]

Here is Kanye’s performance of “I Am A God” at Governor’s Ball, NYC, off his new album, Yeezus, which drops next Tuesday. In the following clip, he goes off on another one of his trademark rants, about the marketing and promotion of Yeezus. “With this album we ain’t drop no single to radio. We ain’t [cont.]

Q-Tip is one of hip hop’s greatest MCs and producers. As a member of A Tribe Called Quest, he helped to shape the sound of hip hop throughout the ’90s. The group’s exceptional run of full-lengths became a blueprint for MCs looking to balance the literate and the absurd, as well as producers searching for [cont.]

Here is the final “artwork” for Kanye’s next LP, Yeezus, which takes a cue from Mos Def’s 2006 album, True Magic, where the same no-cover, no booklet strategy was used.

A.P.C. Founder Jean Touitou – and friend of Kanye West – Tweeted the image below out last night, suggesting “No Pre Order Please Purchase” for Kanye West’s Yeezus LP, which hits “June Eighteen”, alongside the Mac Miller and J. Cole albums. Like Watch The Throne before it, it’s likely this strategy is being implemented to [cont.]

Here is your first look at the packaged CD for Kanye’s new album, Yeezus, which hits stores June 18th. Tracks confirmed thus far are “I Am A God”, “Black Skinhead”, and “New Slaves”.

Both of Ye’s performances from SNL last night. #Yeezus in stores June 18th.

Last night, Kanye West premiered the first track from his new album, Yeezus, which is due June 18th, entitled “New Slaves”. A video for the track was projected on the side of the building in multiple different cities. The clip above shows the event in New York City, captured at Prada Fifth Ave.

Given Kanye’s rants lately, and the fact that he has a new album coming next month (supposedly), we’re guessing he’s going to wig out on live television this Saturday for the season finale of SNL. Here’s the already awkward promo.

Yeezy did a surprise show for Adult Swim in New York City last night, backed by a Daft Punk-esque light pyramid. In the clip below, he performs a new track that may-or-may-not be called “So Awesome”, adding in one of his usual rants.

Amateur filmmaker James Workman has put together this unofficial documentary on Kanye West, made up of older interviews and clips, chronicling his rise to fame. It’s very well done.

We assume that June 18th will be either a release announcement – or an actual release – of his new, as-of-yet untitled album.
