Kanye West has only been on Twitter for a minute but he's already getting carried away with the social networking tool. Like Mike Skinner from the Streets, and many other musicians, West has now announced he will be giving music away for free on a regular basis, apparently starting with a new song this Friday (Aug. 27).

The hip-hop star claims he will release a new song every week until Christmas. "I know yall need the music so I'm dropping 1 new song every weekend until Xmas. It may be my song it may be a new Jay [Z] song etc..." he wrote, no doubt causing raised eyebrows at both his and Jay-Z’s record labels.

“I'm calling it good Fridays,” he continued. “Yall know every Friday yall gone have a new joint from our family. We look at the game completely different now. It's about the fans. No more holding back. That's why I dropped 'See Me Now'... It wasn't about me, it was about the Summer the BBQs etc." Whether West remains true to his claim remains to be seen, but head over to his Twitter page to keep up to date on the release schedule and just about everything else currently on his mind.
