So this week we can expect some fresh albums to drop, one I've been particularly excited for is Kanye West's 808's and Heartbreak.  While the beats are not your traditional Kanye-esque beats, you will find this to be a refreshing direction for the theme of this particular album.  I like to see that he's versatile and not afraid to incorporate new influences.    Envision theatrical staging, explosive light pentetrating the dark, and pure heart-felt lyrics.  Critics will question his use of the synthesizer and melodic concentration, but I am all for it.  If an artist can convey his emotions and expand his style based on his own experiences and make it work, you're nothing short of success.  Of course, his older albums were phenomenal in their own rights.  I'm just saying this new one has a totally different vibe and worth giving a chance.  Eerily, I think I can relate to some of the tracks and that's what gets me into it even more, besides the fact that I've always been on Kanye's jock.  Kudos to Ye for his recent wins at the AMA's for Favorite Male Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album for Graduation

Robocop demonstrates something totally out of left field from his customary realm. But he still adds a touch of humor and speaks with emphasis.
