THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR MAKING 'HEARTLESS' NUMBER ONE ON 106  AND PARK!!!!  MY BOY CALLED ME FROM THE A AND TOLD ME IT'S NUMBER ONE  DOWN THERE TOO.  THIS IS A SONG NOBODY CAN FRONT ON!!!  THE BEAT IS ON  SOME RZA SHIT AND EVERY LINE COULD MAKE THE ULTIMATE RAP HOOK!  I  COULD SEE SOMEBODY SAMPLING....  "WE JUST GONE BE ENEMIES!!!"  I'VE  BEEN HEARING THAT THERE'S PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THIS ALBUM THAT NEVER  BOUGHT ONE OF MY ALBUMS BEFORE.  I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT STREET NIGGAS  LOVE IT! STREET NIGGAS CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY LOVE IT! YOU KNOW  GIRLS LOVE IT!! EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT FAVORITE!!!  RIGHT NOW.   'PARANOID' IS MOST LIKELY GONNA BE THE NEXT SINGLE. IT'S NECK AND NECK  WITH 'ROBOCOP!!!'  I'M NOT GONNA RELEASE EITHER FOR AWHILE BECAUSE I  WANT 'HEARTLESS' AND 'LOVE LOCKDOWN' TO SOAK INTO THE CULTURE!!  I'M  GONNA WALK THIS ALBUM SLOW LIKE A  MORE INDEPENDENT APPROACH.  I FEEL  LIKE A NEW ARTIST.  THERE'S ACTUALLY ARGUMENTS AGAIN. IT REMINDS ME OF  THE FIRST ALBUM WHEN EVERYBODY SAID I COULDN'T RAP.  I LISTENED TO  'SAY YOU WILL' LAST NIGHT AT MY HOUSE AND WAS DAAAMN, THIS SONG IS  SOOOO DOOOPE!!! I'M A FAN OF WHAT I'VE MADE.  WHEN I MADE 'GRADUATION'  I WASN'T SATISFIED!  I FELT LIKE CERTAIN RECORDS WERE KEEPING IT FROM  BEING A PLAY IN EVERY ENVIRONMENT ALBUM.  I WAS AT THE COOL STORE IN  AUSTRALIA CALLED ASSIN THAT CARRIES RICK OWENS, LANVIN, DIOR ECT...   THEY TOLD ME THEY PLAY MY NEW ALBUM IN THE STORE. IT WAS SUCH A BIG  COMPLIMENT FOR ME TO HAVE SONGS THAT ARE NUMBER ONE ON 106 AND CAN  PLAY RIGHT NEXT TO VAMPIRE WEEKEND, SADE OR SILVERCHAIR IN A HIGH END  FASHION STORE!  IT'S SUCH A TRIUMPH TO HAVE LOVE LOCK DOWN ON RADIO.  WHEN IT COMES IN IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ANYTHING ELSE EVER MADE IN  HISTORY! THIS IS NEW MUSIC!  IT MIGHT TAKES SOME GETTING USE TO BUT  WHEN IT SET'S IN IT WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

eyemDOPE | December 9, 2008
No Kanye. Thank you. I have went through a lot this year and this album has helped me cope with that. This album has been my medicine. I know I'm not the only one that feels that way too, but literally everything on this album is how I've felt and what I've had to go through in the past six months, and this album is helping me get through all of that heartbreak and moving on to the next chapter in life.
snverhallen | December 9, 2008

my friends mom bought the album the other day:D
JadoreMrWest | December 9, 2008
Kanye, you're amazing! The album is really like non-other. I got my 46 year old mom dancing to "heartless" and my dad knowing the words to "Love Lockdown" and "Robocop."
It is ART! It trancends music. You trancend the music industry. You are an inspiration!
Lots of love always, keep doing what you do Kanye, you are beyond this world!
Gabriela | December 9, 2008
Kanye :) Congratulations... i'm really really happy that the album is gettin so much good feedback. You totally deserve it. The album IS DOPE..and heartless is really one of the best (with paranoid :D) Altough I'm in Austria, I feel that this is going to be HUGE. it will make a difference.Today i was discussing about you album with a friend. He loves your old stuff and didnt even listen to anything from 808s & HB exept of love lockdown(once). And he was like "That's terrible... i hate it" I convinced him to listen to the rest of the album..and guess what??... He loves it now :) You know... and thank YOU.. you music gives me so much... keep it up :) much love, Gabi

eliottPARIS | December 9, 2008
You know you're on top when people start to do like YOU do.
In 2 or 3 months, I think that everybody's gonna make some pop music.
HipHop's not dead so why pop should be ?
rowan_rashard | December 9, 2008

ShahJahan | December 9, 2008
I've been playing your album for my Yoga class for the past seven classes and everybody peaces out to it! I'm talking about older people too.
NGie | December 9, 2008
Kanye!
I want to ask you something, a major question I think but I thought I could give it a try
I really want the thank you, youre welcome book but I live in Holland
and don't got a creditcard, I even ask my friends father but he wasn't able to do it for me.
I heard you on Ellen Degeneres show telling Ellen you give your book away at every concert!
I went 2 times to his concert this year in Holland and Belgium but I couldnt buy of get the book their.
I´m mad about it, cause Im such a BIG mr WEST fan.
I think when you live in Holland you miss allot of things, sometimes I have to wait so long before I
can buy Kanye west cd. Or other things and also like the book.
I went to every book store in my City, phoned all the book stores in Holland but nobody had it.
What do I HAVE TO DO??
I hope you really have a solution for my problem
thank you so much for reading this! and putting some time in my question
I really hope hearing from you!!!

BrianP | December 9, 2008
honestly kanye, this album is a milestone in hip/hop or whatever genre these tracks would be classified in. I feel like anyone can listen to this. man, its like every track is just fire. it has the whole ambiance of just some classic shit for real!!! shit will go down in history!
enasuna | December 9, 2008
I like that you get so excited about your own work. It sounds like you don't take your own ability for granted and it's funny and ironic that you are supposedly the cockiest man in showbiz! Congratulations. The album's playing in my house almost every morning as I get ready for work and it's filling friends' and families' stockings this Christmas bse I'm determined to infect everyone I know with it! Keep on trucking. x
Dropout808BearYe | December 9, 2008
That's right! Congrats on being no. 1 with Heartless! U might not be satisfied with Graduation, but I (and millions of other) are! And of course, 808s is toppin' the charts!
JRamBear | December 9, 2008
im really glad you made this album ye! i think it might be my fav thus far, and i agree with you, graduation was not my fav album of yours....i cant wait to see you tonight!!!
adgmia | December 9, 2008
This is a milestone in music....You can't put this in any category and it resonates with an entire people.... Truly a gift to the entire generation...

HEARTLESS SOUNDS JUST LIKE STILL DRE. LAWSUIT!
MattJean | December 9, 2008
MR. West, I wanna thank you for making such a great album. Thanx for beeing YOURSELF and don't giving a FUCK about other says. This is why this album is so good, you have finally came out of this whole fake game. This album is helping and will help a lot of people. I can't stop listening to it cause I can't stop myself from curing myself from all of this. It's a bit sad that you had to go thru all this to create this peice of art, but somewhere youve hurt yourself to help everyone around you, and that's a great thing. Thanks again Kanye West.
-Matt Jean
IamPaulC | December 9, 2008
Soon enough I'll be right there with you Ye. Hope to someday meet ya. You've been a huge inspiration to me regardless of what everybody else has said about you. Maybe we can bring independent music to the mainstream?
NGie | December 9, 2008
this album is like the greatest CHRISTMAS gift ever! It's like the best present you have ever had for your b-day..its like I need to go to rehad cause this cd is my ADDICTION..im glad to know that you know YOUR SOO AMAZINGGGGGGGGG

Keep your dreams alive!!!!!
EmilL | December 9, 2008
This album truely is a masterpiece. It sure is. I’ve been listening to your music since your first album when all was hatein’ on you. At first, when I heard about the auto-tune, I got to admit that I was a bit skeptic, at first, but now when I’ve been listening to this album for a couple of weeks I can’t stop. All this songs speaks to me. All these songs feel so genuine, so pure. You have written history, believe me.

HE'S HAPPY AGAIN. HAPPINESS YIELDS CONFIDENCE
Visityourownstalkerdotblogspot | December 9, 2008

ROBOCOP is my fav, but I don’t want to share =)… I love Paranoid too, I would say it’s the only real dance record on the album…I’m so happy that 808s is doing well…much continued success. Cheers to you ( and the ROC)
Brisa | December 9, 2008

You said you were happy & wanted to celebrate…lol. But the only way it’s really going to be HYPE lol, is if you to do the WHOLE routine…twists & turns lol. That song must be STUCK in my head today *smile* . A good laugh is always timely.
Seacrest out!!! Peace.
FX2 | December 9, 2008
Congrats Ye! You're redifining pop culture into something that is acceptable, creative, and exciting on all platforms of art. Sometimes when you name an artist that you like that is mainstream, people look at you like thats uncool because it isnt underground or whatever, but if you hear someone say they dont like Kanye West, EVERYBODY thinks they're buggin. That just goes to show how real your music is and the volumes of people it touches. Good job man, keep making history.
QueenKourtney313 | December 9, 2008
aw, u're so happy and surprised? please... lol. "Say You Will" has been in heavy rotation in my house, taking me to a place Im not sure I want to go back to but damn does it heal :):):) Congrats to you
arionie | December 9, 2008
Ye u are the most ispirational that i know for the younger hip hop generation
GinaIsFly3r | December 9, 2008
No prob Ye!
matthewnotmatt | December 9, 2008
Just wanted to say thanks for the BBC Culture Show interview with Nihal, here in the UK. It was really good to get a UK interview, oh and the new album is really excellent!!!
GinaIsFly3r | December 9, 2008
You're just great Kanye!
Brisa | December 9, 2008
Oh I love the last words in ROBOCOP, I feel it, the feeling like "haha nooo it just can't be real, you're kiding me..."
Man you're so great... I'm speechless ! ! !
moteeb | December 9, 2008
This album reflects art in its purest form and has reminded me what art should be about. Music is a form of art and expression. We feel art or music because it connects with us. I first connected with Kanye as a fan on "Through the Wire" and I remember watching the video and his mouth being operated on and paying cash to the dentish with the exclaimer 'no insurance'...just that little part hit my heart. Today, on 808's and Heartbreak, I almost feel like Kanye is my voice or speaking my hear on a track like 'Welcome to Heartbreak' or 'Coldest Winter' or 'See you in my nightmares or "Street lights" or 'Bad News". This was like someone was speaking on behalf of my soul. Something that I would not be able to express in everyday life/hustle. The concept of loss and dealing with the emotions in such a different form. This is coming from a hip-hop head who also was influenced by the 80's, Electronica, Pop, Soul, etc.....
Thank-you for this gift. This is art in its purest form.
llAll | December 9, 2008
all the songs are truly amazing, great job.
evo_thedreamchaser | December 9, 2008
Well I absolutely LOVE Graduation, it satisfied me so you did your job with that. 808's will of course go down in history as one of your best albums (I say one of now because you never know what you may come up with in the future) I just wanna tell you really quick that I honestly admire your personality, you really did make me comfortable in my own skin because I used to be a shy nerd who never spoke his mind and now I'm an outspoken nerd who could care less about what people have to say about me. It's kind of crazy though because I'm actually gay and I thought that I'd be socially crucified if I came out, but now that I have I have more friends now than I ever thought I'd have and I get more respect than I ever would have being how I used to be. So I'd just like to thank you for being yourself because If you weren't who you are then I wouldn't be who I am, honestly.
Reyes24 | December 9, 2008
congrats on heartless going number 1, your right it doesnt sound like anything else!! its amazing, 808s been playing sinse ive got the album!! hope your success continues!!! keep doing you!! stay up.. Robocop is my fav. that track is beautiful
