Mr. West is in the building. Again. Kanye has just released "Robocop," another track off his upcoming 808s and Heartbreaks album.
Kanye, ever the outspoken wordsmith--remember that little Katrina TV spot with Mike Myers?--has really taken an interest in the public opinion with this new album. By releasing tracks pre-mastering on his blog he has allowed fans and critics to give input on the track, and in many cases that input has been used to change, edit, or add to the song for it's final release. Check out "Robocop" below.

Kanye West has leaked yet another single off of his 808s & Heartbreak album. "Coldest Winter" is the second single to hit the net in as many days and marks a continuation of Kanye's now famous love affair with AutoTune."Coldest Winter," written about the loss of his mother last year, features Kanye belting out heartfelt lyrics over some pretty dirty tribal beats. The track is closer to "Love Lockdown" than it is to his previous albums but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Kanye himself classified 808s as "pop music," not rap so I don't know why everyone is hating on the new singles for not being harder.
At a time when hip-hop seems to be getting a little stale--is it just me or does every song feature Akon/T-pain and a remix with Weezy--808s and Heartbreak could be a much needed breath of fresh air.
What do you think of the new tracks?
