Kanye West's New Album Drops Nov. 22: "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"

Julia Bodeeb
Kanye West's new album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" will drop on November 22nd. Accompanying the album will be a film insert that features about nine songs from the album.

The title of Kanye's new album seems to speak to the dark angst Kanye seems to always swirling about him. He seems conflicted and wants to be the bad boy and yet to also have the respect of his peers and fans.

Kanye's fans will be requesting his album as holiday gifts. With Kanye's star on the rise lately this could be a great holiday season for him. And it is probably inevitable that West will get into some sort of dispute with someone over whose album is the hottest. He seems to have an intense competitive streak. Will this serve him well in the long run? Only time will tell if Kanye will continue to thrive or if his sometimes diva ways are burning too many bridges in his career.

Kanye West is making the news a lot lately. He got a lot of attention for his bright red suit at the recent MTV awards. He also caused a lot of mouths to fall open with his song that might be a round about apology to Taylor Swift called "Runaway." The song begins with the line "Let's have a toast for the douche bags." Maybe now the world can forget about the unfortunate Kanye West's unfortunate behavior previously at the MTV Awards.

A New Stylist for Kanye West: Cassius Clay

Kanye spotted someone whose shoes inspired him in Barneys and the Yale student's name is Cassius Clay. The shoes Clay had on are black velvet with a gold crest. So it seems like Kanye Wants to add a bit of Rat Pack glamour to his look.

According to the New York Post, Clay and Kanye are now working together to keeps Kanye's style intriguing and ever changing. Will Kanye's new stylist help Kanye use fashion to make an impact wherever he goes? The red suit at the MTV awards is certainly memorable and seemed to speak to the devilish spirit of Kanye.

And Kanye and Clay are even working with the company that made the shoes that attracted Kanye's attention: Stubbs and Wootton. As the spring arrives so too will a crested shoe inspired by Kanye. It looks like Kanye is branching out and using his fame to create some additional streams of revenue.

The Future for Kanye West

Kanye will start a world tour in 2011. He plans to stage a concert at the pyramids in Egypt, notes Idolator. That concert has the potential for a Kanye-style visual spectacle that will rock the music world.

A New Life Strategy for Kanye West

Kanye West speaks often of his mother in interviews. He has lost her and wants to carry live a life that she would be proud of. He told MTV "The best thing I can do now is carry on my mother's legacy. I need to recapture the hearts of the world just to show people how great my mother was, to show people that Donda raised a good guy."

Awww, how sweet. Kanye is showing his sensitive side. His Mom was a teacher. Perhaps now his ongoing life will teach the world that change is possible and that caring about others is an admirable life goal.
