With no secret as to artist KAWS’ involvement in the art creation for Kanye West’s latest album 808s and Heartbreak, a new billboard has been erected in New York City. Located at 45th and 7th St., the large scale billboard features the same artwork which marks the album’s cover. Check it out if you’re in the area.

A solider dies in a bar brawl after an argument about playing one of your songs instead of a Jimmy Buffet joint. You should really check this story out and say something about it. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

it would have sucked to be under the peanut man
Porsche911 | January 7, 2009

KevinG9012 | January 7, 2009
Your the man Kanye, "A Idol in my eyes" great artwork. Wish I lived in NYC, Cleveland is where I reside though. OSU next year, I'm getting out.
lexi_angel | January 7, 2009
NICE!!! YOUR BILLBOARD STANDS OUT FROM THE REST,IT'S HOT...SERIOUSLY.
danielkanye | January 7, 2009
kanye i'm ur biggest fan
but unfortunately (due to AWFUL promotion) in the uk
ur album was a flop IN TERMS OF SALES ONLY
its still my favourite album of yours and the critics in the uk loved it
but at all the concerts u did in the uk recently there was no promotion watsoever
i know people who went to the concert and didnt know u had an album coming out!!!
i still love 808s so much, just a shame it sold badly in the uk (especially compared to graduation)
sidebar:can u make sure they release the kaws edition in the uk cos we cant get it over here!
bgj887 | January 7, 2009
thats cool though ye, most people who live in ny will tell you that they hate driving in manhattan due to all the traffic, so this is perfect for people who take the subway to the city and walk around times square
Kim_Luvs808s | January 7, 2009
Kanye, you're so happy, and that makes me happy! Congrats on this album! I can't see the billboard, but I'm sure it's really cool, and this will spark even more sales!
Rock on, Kanye!
denise_islove | January 7, 2009
That's cool! Congrats!!!!
nicq | January 7, 2009
It's kinda apropos that it's positioned against the flow of traffic...if that was a choice, it was a very savvy one.
Sangano | January 7, 2009
haha EPIC FAIL! lol
CandyceNoelle | January 7, 2009
YAY for Ye!! Love the Album! I have the Kaws cover for my album Art on my iPod!! So cool. Thanks for being a TRUE Artist in every sense of the word. Chicago breeds GREATNESS!
MonicaAgnes | January 7, 2009

Yep, this is for pedestrians. I don't think the location is that bad. The wording could be a bit larger though.

@MonicaAgnes: Hi & you did an excellent job on that morale. If you don’t mind me asking, how tall is it exactly & how long did it take you to finish?
Peace.
