Kanye West’s forthcoming album has a title and release date: 808s and Heartbreak will be out Dec. 16. Perhaps in honor of that bit of business being cleared up, he surprised a crowd at New York’s Knitting Factory last night, where he performed a few old tracks and two new ones, including the VMA-debuted “Love Lockdown.” (Video above.)

awww, too bad about Good Ass Job, the “fourth part of the quadrilogy,” biting the dust.
@Michaelangelo Matos: I’m relieved he dropped the theme. Then when the fourth album becomes his first to suck, we can distinguish it from “the canon.”
(Go ahead and prove me wrong, Kanye!)
I think Kanye’s going to own all of us again when this record drops.
@Chris Molanphy: yeah, but the idea of Kanye rapping about office politics and break times was intriguing…
@Michaelangelo Matos: I liked the continuing theme of the titles, but as far as I’m concerned _808s and Heartbreak_ might be an improvement.
The album might still be awful, but the title’s cool, at least.
He releases ore albums than DMX in the 90s. Seriously, Kanye, you’re “super talented”. We know. Take a break!
Here’s what I think about the title: I’m glad Maura didn’t put that poorly used apostrophe in it that other sites are insisting on including. Don’t give in too bad grammar!
