Let's get this out of the way first: According to TMZ (via MTV), Kanye West was apparently arrested-- and subsequently released and cleared-- for a fight with a photographer in Newcastle, England last night. Yes, Kanye sparred with the paparazzi again. Sigh. Let's move on...
With only a week and change to go before its November 24 release, West's new album 808s & Heartbreak finally has a tracklist, via the store on his website. And given how much of its music has leaked already, the tracklist isn't much of a surprise. As we know, 808s' only guests are Young Jeezy (on "Amazing") and Lil Wayne (on "Tell Everybody That You Know"), and there's a hell of a lot of Auto-Tune.
In other Kanye news, he seems to have gotten his priorities straight at last.
808s & Heartbreak:
01 Welcome to Heartbreak 02 Heartless 03 Love Lockdown 04 Robocop 05 Anyway 06 Streetlights 07 Say You Will 08 Real Bad News 09 Amazing [ft. Young Jeezy] 10 Tell Everybody That You Know [ft. Lil Wayne] 11 Coldest Winter

I created a thing I call Heartbreak. It’s like a mixed drink of auto tune, distortion with a little bit of delay on it, and a whole bunch of life that I put onto records. That’s what I call my heartbreak, and that’s what every record basically has. I’m delivering what I feel is art and that’s what I want to deliver at this point from now on. With records like “Love Lockdown”, it might not have high hats and s**t like everything else has, but when I go out and be listening to Jimi Hendrix and the Stones and Lenny Kravitz, and they won’t play no Hip Hop records in that. I feel like n***as be giving up on trying to make records on a Quincy Jones level.

Most of the tracks have leaked already, and I'm actually surprised it's not as bad as I thought it would be given what has been said about this record. I think the extreme use of auto-tune will turn a lot of people off. If Kanye could actually sing without it, then there would be no question how huge this record will be. Unfortunately that's not the case. I can't help but wonder what this record would sound like if Usher or Justin Timberlake were singing instead of Kanye.
"Anyway" is probably the best track I've heard so far.
