Kanye LOOKS TO The Snowman For INSPIRATION.... Asks, What Would Jeezy Do !!!

Today as he leaked the Young Jeezy assisted, "Amazing," Kanye West
admitted that the Snowman inspired many of the songs on his upcoming
album, 808's & Heartbreaks.

"Jeezy came down to Hawaii with us because every time I'd write a
chorus or write any type of hook, I'd be like man, 'What Would Jeezy
Do?'" Ye admitted during a conference call today. "You know how n*ggas
have bumper stickers that say 'What Would Jesus Do?' Our sh*t is like,
'What Would Jeezy Do?' What would he say on this record?"

"At the end of the day I make my sh*t white tee shirt ready at all
given times," he continued. "So he came down and helped out, but he
actually helped out with other records. So there are straight singing
records that have Jeezy lines on it, and you'll feel that energy
throughout the entire joint."

In addition Jeezy, 808's also features guest appearances by Lil' Wayne
and the newest member of Kanye's G.O.O.D. music family, Kid Cudi. But
for the most part, this album is all about Ye and the heartache he's
suffered since the unexpected death of his mother, Donda West.

"This album has been like basically based off the devastation and the
hurt that I've felt within the past year of all the losses that I've
went through," he said. "What's good is its therapeutic for me. It's
like a better option than suicide to keep on putting out music and art."

In order to tell his story, Kanye created a new sound which he calls heartbreak.

"It's like a mixed drink," he explained. "It's like auto-tune meets
distortion with a bit of delay on it and a whole bunch of f*cked up
life."

Though this new sound is a deviation from what fans typically expect
from the Chicago emcee, Kanye is pleased with the response that he's
received especially from the first single, "Love Lockdown." "It sold
over 100,000 on iTunes thus far. B*tches love it and n*ggas love to
watch b*tches dance to it," he said.

808's & Heartbreak will be released on Monday, November 24th.
