  3. riri

    the bear needs to see a doctor stat – it has pinkeye lol

  4. I LOVE IT…I LOVE KANYE but it comes out the same day as 5ocents…and i dont know if it’ll do good…but i bet his album is better than Curtis

  6. i wish i had those shades in black…but the cover is cute

  7. heires~~

    what does the bear has to do with kanye? the tittle shuld be sumthin like bear vs kanye lol lmao like it thou

  8. Im reading all of the other comments and I realized that I must be the only one who is over Kanye. I loved the first album, the second was okay….but his personality and antics have made me vow to never buy anymore of his cd’s. He annoys me. I can see him being in Lauryn Hills current position in 7 years.

  9. I REALLY Like Kanye ALOT better than I used to, I’m not feeling the cover….

  10. sexy chocolate

    Kanye makes good music but he is just too big-headed which makes me not like him.

  11. U know if Kanye didnt feel himself as much as he did…people probably wouldnt notice him as much. He knows what he is doing. Plus he is good at what he does.Very good at what he does.

    If you buy a Kanye album u know you will get your money’s worth and you cant say that about a lot of artists these days. So even tho Kanye can be a little pretentious sometimes…i still support him cause he makes GOOD MUSIC.

  12. Dame

    I hate those damn glasses and although Kayne is full of himself I am a huge fan of his.

  13. I LOVE KANYE , HE’S THE BEST.EVERY SINCE HE CAME OUT.I WONDER HOW MANY A** HOLES IS GONE BE BREAKING THEY KNECKS TO GET THEM UGLY A** SHADES.YOU KNOW THEY AIN’T CHEAP.i agree at the same time that kanye is full of himself, but if i had is fame I WOULD BE EVEN FULLER BABY!I COULD SEE WHY HE SHINE SO HARD, I CAN’T WAIT TO GET ME.:P:D

  14. Those shades are hot though! Lol anyone know where I can get one?

  15. i like the cover and i knda like kanye even tho he gets on my nerves sometimes and he’s super conceited

  16. This album cover may attract a 5 YEAR OLD! BOOOOORRRRRRING!

  17. I can’t wait to hear this.

  18. Kanye west has over the years grown on me. I juss didnt like how he was so cocky but i gotta admit he is real hot and flo’s bout real shit ya digg.

  19. NYC NYC

    Oh lord Kanye is going to have everyone wearing Inuyasha and Sailor Moon tshirts with this anime shit he’s on.

  20. ms.t

    i love kanye.. i cant wait for the album

    yea he is a diva but he has been thru a lot… *ahem* ALMOST DYING *ahem* so i know he is living his life to the fullest and i aint mad at him

  21. Aight Kanye! thinkin out da box as usual.

  22. ahhh man. i LOVE kanye. i love the glasses too, but i do agree those things need to be laid to rest.

  23. Neutral Bitch

    I love the show Inuyasha lol.
    He can go away and the music industry wouldn’t miss him
    Bear is supposely a mascot

  24. Ali

    This isn’t the actual cover, this is just a holder for Amazon and other sites. Def Jam is yet to release the real cover, which is going to be crazy and designed by Japanese designer Takashi Murakami.

    btw, ‘Ye murders 50 on 9/11, 50 will need to get his money right after that one.

  25. The biggest explosion sinse 9-11 on 9-11….

    bum bum babum babum dadon don don!!!

    Kanye West Vs. 50 Cent ….Graduation…..Curtis……9-11……It going the fuck dooooowwwwwwnnnn! LMBAO

  26. Lea Lea

    I like Kanye, when he’s not in cocky or airhead mode. And I like his music. I think 50 is gonna bring in bigger numbers then him on 9/11. 50′s singles are not as good as Kanye’s butI have a feeling 50 is gonna take #1.

  27. its so plain.

    and i need to get the maps to his house so i can steal those things while he’s sleep!

    and i dunno i think kanye will take #1 when his albums. he prolly gonna threaten errybody and throw hissyfits until people buy it. or buy 10,000 copies himself

  28. CreamyCazz

    I LOVE KANYE ALL DAY…

    I WILL ALWAYS BUY HIS ALBUMS, I DON’T GIVE A F*CK

    CUZ I’M BEHIND ANYONE WHO IS AS TALENTED & AHEAD OF THE CURVE AS HIM

    WHETHER HE ROCKIN’ “SAILOR MOON” OR “POKEMON” SHIRTS OR NOT!!

    HE THINKIN OUT THE BOX, SO U CAN’T KNOCK!!!!!

  29. Danala

    I like Kanya but he is getting too cocky for me.

  30. Pingback: Who wrote what today?: HIPANDPOP.COM - Volume II, personal thoughts on industrial issues.

  31. Nikole

    Its cute I think.

    I’ve always been a big fan of his so
    yea…he gets my vote.

    I think he’s going to outsell
    Mr. Curtis Jackson…I’m not
    feeling that nigga lately

  32. KENAY

    you gotta love kanye…im kinda feelin the album artwork….love the popping colors

  33. jiji

    I like it :], but prolly because I’m a graphic artist, so this type of stuff will obviously without hesitation appeal to ppl who like art :/ but could be better. I still watch cartoons and im 19

  34. Tru Poet

    dope kanye is a monster the rock is in the building

  35. crys

    its cool, but not for the album, considering the the artwork for his last two.
    i just think he wanted somebody japanese.

  36. brandy badazz

    i love i, i love kanye, i have u cant tell me nothing and the album cover on my myspace

  37. Whatever to the album cover, but I am going to cop the album. Me and my friends gone be first in line cause we definately love yo music. As far as 5ocent he gone do good cause people like bull and Fiddy is constantly feeding it.

  38. I PARTY LIKE A RAPPER

    You got to have the bear getting his diploma (with the white shades on) and shaking the hand of the president of the Hip Hop University – Kanye West… That would be a better cover than the one shown.

  39. jen

    Takashi Murakami always delivers and has done for years. This cover certify’s this. Good look KanYe.

  40. He needs to REINVENT himself, the bear is tired, find something else……

  41. I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE. LIKE OUR PARENTS TAUGHT US IT IS THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS. WE KNOW THE CD IS GON BE GOOD, OR BETTER YET GREAT.

    THINK ABOUT THESE OTHER ARTISTS WHO HAVE BEAUTIFUL ALBUM COVERS BUT CAN YOU SAY THEIR MUSIC WAS BEAUTIFUL? IN MOST CASES THESE DAYS THE ANSWER WOULD BE NO.

    KANYE VS. 50 I BET KANYE GON WIN THIS ONE. 50 IS FULL OF SHIT ALWAYS TALKING BOUT THE SAME SHIT AND ALWAYS USING THE SAME WORDS. HE SHOULD START READING BOOKS TO BUILD UP HIS VOCABULARY!

    I KNOW STATE THE 50 FAN IN ME HAS DIED. MY SHE REST IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  42. LMAOOOOO@THEM SHADES ON THE BEAR! I LOVE HIS SINGLE OUT NOW!, IT’S ACTUALLY THE RING TONE FOR THE FELLAZ WHEN THEY CALL…. ITS SO FUCKIN HOT!, SOME PPL ON THIS SITE BE TRYING….. BUT THEY CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING!

  43. if that is the real cover, it`s aight,
    but i will definately be buyin the cd when it comes out

  44. I put my finger on it…
    Kanye’s swag is a watered down gassed up new millennium Tupac (if Pac had never gone to Death Row)

    Kanye says how he feels and puts his soulo in the music the way Pac did. I know you gassed on yourself homie but as long as you keep making that GOOD MUSIC you’re alright with me

  45. laina

    OMG I KNO THATS NOT IT. KANYE MUST BE TRYING TO TRICK HIS FANS BECAUSE I KNO FOR A FACT HE HIMSELF CAN DRAW BETTER THAN THAT!

  46. If I had to chose between 50 & Kanye, I’d definitely chose KANYE!! Even though both of them are taking away all our oxygen with their BIG ASS HEADS, Kanye’s cocky becuz he knows he’s talented and stands out, while 50 just repeats the same ol’ formula, just with a different name! I hope Kanye outsells 50! I also think 50′s scared Kanye will outsell him, & that will explain why 50 was all on Funkmaster Flex talkin about “I’m not movin my release date again….hopefully Kanye’s people will be smart & move his release date.”

    -Sounds like somebody’s scared they’re gonna be outsold!! LOL!!!

  47. btw i hope he does better than 50. i’m sick of ppl rapping about having sex or shooting someone. ughh we shouldn’t support that type of coonery

  48. I hope Kanye outsells 50. The difference between those two arrogant mofos is that Kanye never tried to destroy someone else’s career or reputation to build his. Plus, he’s far less stereotypical, so yeah I hope Kanye wins although I won’t buy his album.

  49. amber

    this album cover sucks….i hope its a joke.

  50. RC

    I think its actually genius to put out Graduation on the same day as Curtis. I am getting my copy on Sept.11, b/c I hope Kanye outsells 50 cent. I think alot of ppl are sick of 50, not only because he’s cocky, but because he represents every thing wrong with hip hop. I Get Money…who gives a f**k? How many beefs do you have to make for ppl to still have interest in you 50?

    And who isn’t arrogant in music today? I think Usher and Justin Timberlake are the biggest assholes in the industry , but ppl still support their music.

  51. Tammy

    lmao @ #5 I just noticed that!
