Kanye West Is In The Building, Hits Up "In-Stores" In

As the SoundScan showdown between Kanye West and 50 Cent draws closer, Kanye plans to hit several major cities for in-store appearances. Kanye West's MySpace page reveals five stops where he will be appearing at in-stores, including a Virgin store in New York City on September 11, the release date he shares with 50 Cent. Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC are other cities scheduled for West in-store appearances. This announcement comes just a week after Kanye's album leaked to the internet. As SOHH previously reported, many file-sharing sites carrying the release have had their Kanye links quickly deleted, but the number of copies already downloaded is impossible to track.
