Kanye West announced the best commercial decision yet for his upcoming album, he is eliminating the title Good *ss Job. The title loosely followed the trend of his other rap album titles (College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation) mentioning aspects of higher education.
The title may have made sense to some but to many it was a little too edgy and may have discouraged parents from letting children buy the album. West has met the album sale expectations with the release of each of his previous albums and high record sales is among the goals for his next project so the label must eradicate any blemishes before the album hits stores.
Without a title there is a serious chance the untitled project will be pushed back from Sept 14 to allow more time to promote the project with its new title. This would also mean the ultimate demise of "G.O.O.D Music Day", which was supposed to stage the release of the label's most anticipated albums, Big Sean's Finally Famous, Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager and Kanye West's now untitled project. Cudi's album has already been pushed back two weeks so with the Man on the Moon 2 album definitely pushed back and possibly Kanye West's album seeing a similar fate, the minimal hype of this day will soon disappear.
