On August 3, 2005, West revealed that he wanted to schedule Graduation for release in October of 2006. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and sold 860,000 copies in the first week. It was then delayed again until August 30. The album was originally scheduled for release on Jbut was changed to August 16th of that year. On April 20 of 2005, Kanye previewed “Diamonds from Sierra Leone,” the lead single from Late Registration on Hot 97, a New York radio station. It was originally scheduled for release in August of 2003, was first delayed until January of 2004, before finally hitting stores on February 10, 2004. Ye began the production and recording of this award winning and widespread critical success in 1999, but it took four years to complete. To put all of this in perspective and to consider the odds of an August 6th Donda release materializing, here is a look at each late Kanye album in terms of their delays. His 10th studio album, Donda, is no exception as fans are again disappointed with yet another broken deadline. The long delays and edits of many of Kanye’s previous albums speak to his perfectionism, trailblazing experimentation and psychological instability. That fact is nowhere more evident than with Kanye West and his album releases. Inevitably, these characteristics often overlap because it is very difficult – if not impossible – for a musical artist to detach his personality, temperament and character from his music. Kanye West is known first and foremost as a musical artist, with public controversy and eccentric behavior following as a close second and third on the list.
