Kanye's Dissapperance....possibly explained

I was kind of hoping his complete disappearance from the public meant he was working on a new album and according to Perez and a hip hop blog I visit I was right on the money. I wonder what the concept of this album will be about though, I don't think he is the kind of artist that needs to think long to come up with a brilliant concept. I admit I wasn't and I'm still not a giant fan of 808's and heartbreaks but I'm more open to his change of style now after listening to the album after the hype finally died down.

808's and Heartbreaks was different from most Hip Hop albums in the fact that it had a concept and it held that concept throughout the entire album. Initially I skipped it as I'm not a fan of synths, they're just ear poison to me but whatever I finally gave it a listen after checking out another artist I refused to listen too for well over a year. Lady Gaga. Long story short, I was impressed with her first album because of the production. Alright back on topic, after Kanye pulled his stunt at the VMA's and he was briefly painted as an out of control jackass (even Obama called him a jackass) he faded from the spotlight. Hopefully his time away let him clear his head a bit and think about what he wants to do with both his life and his music.
