Kanye West has pushed his upcoming album back so many times it's getting to the point it's not even newsworthy. But when he announced an official date, you have to hope he actually means it, even if the album is still untitled. Formerly known as Good Ass Job, the record will be his first since 2008's 808s & Heartbreak.
Yeezy's fifth album has received a load of press for what it's expected to sound like. After delay its release again in August, he said that it's lyrically inspired by Thom Yorke and Trent Reznor. Kanye has also said we can expect to hear production and/or guest raps from Q-Tip, Pete Rock, and RZA. For that reason, it's been reported by hip-hop writer Toure that this album makes Kanye's return to "real hip-hop." From the leaks and G.O.O.D. Friday tracks, I can't say I disagree with Toure. Now let's hope this doesn't mess with the planned Nov. 23 release of Jay-Z and Kanye's Watch the Throne EP.

Just in time for Black Friday! Let the stocking stuffing commence!
