Kanye West and his road manager Don "C" Crawley were charged for a TMZ paparazzi encounter they had in an LA airport.
Kanye West faces more than just a "Love Lockdown."
Los Angeles city prosecutors have charged the rapper with misdemeanor battery, grand theft and vandalism over the videotaped destruction of a paparazzo's camera.
West was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport days after performing at the MTV Video Music Awards in September. The celebrity gossip site TMZ shot video that showed West breaking the flash of a photographer's camera inside a terminal, and his manager breaking the camera itself and accosting TMZ's videographer.
West faces 2 1/2 years in jail if convicted.
West's lawyer, Blair Berk, declined to comment on the charges being filed.
West's road manager, Dan Crawley, also faces six misdemeanor charges: two counts apiece of battery, vandalism and grand theft. He faces up to five years in jail if convicted.
The charges were filed by the office of outgoing City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, whose office last year also pursued a misdemeanor against Britney Spears over her driver's license. A jury deadlocked in favor of acquitting Spears and the case was dropped.
Delgadillo's office received the case after county prosecutors declined to charge West and Crawley.

Kanye's girlfriend Amber Rose talks on Lipservice about relationships, faking orgasms and her love of the ladies. Warning this interview is definitely NSFW. We wonder why are they calling Amber a white girl in the interview because she definitely isn't one despite the blonde hair.
KANYE WEST and his girlfriend, Amber Rose, (Kambye?) cleaned up real well for Sunday night's 125th anniversary gala at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York.
We ran into Kanye on Friday night at the Lady Gaga concert and we asked THE VOICE OF THE GENERATION if his relationship with Amber is for realsies or just part of an elaborate performance art piece and he told us that it ain't no pop piece. She's his girl!
Then we asked him if she really had a stripper past and like a real Messiah he told us that yup, she was a stripper before, but he saved her, and she don't strip no mo'.
And that's straight from the KANYE's mouth! [PEREZ HILTON]

Kanye West is back with his highly anticipated 4th studio album "808s & Heartbreak." On it, he cranks out dark and dreary pop-like-ballads, with the aid of the pitch correcting Antares Auto-Tune effect (a.k.a. the vocorder) and the Roland TR-808 classic drum machine, in a way that brings something totally new to the game.
Ye's latest effort is the result of musical genius venturing outside of the box and becoming somewhat unpredictable. The 10-time Grammy award winning artist/producer takes his music into a new creative direction and boldly experiments with a new sound. While it proves to be a great body of work, it's very different from his previous school trilogy classics ("The College Dropout," "Late Registration"and "Graduation.")
It's important to keep in mind that this album comes in the wake of Kanye dealing with the devastating loss of his mother, Dr. Donda West as well as the break-up with his ex-fiance, Alexis Phifer. That being said, having endured such a tumultuous year, he understandably has a lot to get out of his system.
"808's & Heartbreak" -which is sort of emo meets electronica- features the smash hit singles "Love Lockdown" with its heart-pounding, killer tribal-drums and the ice-cold "Heartless." These tracks are two of our faves and have been in heavy rotation on the airwaves. What we love about this album is that it expands into so many musical directions and has raw emotion at its core.
Watch Kanye's rotoscoped Heartless music video directed by Hype Williams. Kanye posted a comment about the creation of the video on his blog. I DIDN'T LEAK THIS BUT AT LEAST HERE'S A CLEAR VERSION!
THIS VIDEO WAS ROTOSCOPED. WE RECORDED REAL PEOPLE AND THEN HAD 65 ANIMATORS IN HONG KONG HAND DRAW OVER EVERY CELL . INSPIRED BY THE MOVIE "AMERICAN POP" . HYPE SHOWED ME THE MOVIE AND I WAS SOLD. source
Here are some more really great songs that standout on the new album:

THE BINSIDE FAVE 5
01. "Say You Will" (smooth & mellow mood music, cool & addictive instrumental)
02. "Welcome To Heartbreak" (powerful drums & vocals of regret)
03. "Paranoid" (electronic-leaning moving melody, up-tempo)
04. "RoboCop" (cool song to dedicate to the stalker ex in your life checkin' up on your MySpace page)
05. "Coldest Winter" (mourns his Mom, haunting, vivid & emotional)

"808's & Heartbreak" is crazy and futuristic! KanYeezy put in some major work on this album sticking to one central theme and soundscape. There aren't many guest appearances other than Young Jeezy ("Amazing"), Kid Cudi ("Welcome To Heartbreak"), Mr. Hudson ("Paranoid") and Lil Wayne ("See You In My Nightmares"). As far as production credits goes, the beats are on point and Kanye takes full credit but gets a 'lil co-production done by his Chi-Town homie No I.D. ("Heartless" & "LoveLockdown.")
Kanye has left his previous work behind and changed it up. If you've been a Kanye West fan from jump, you may not know what to make of this album. You might be thinkin', 'I don't feel like hearing Ye singin' for a whole flippin' album,' and may find yourself on the fence about the new approach he has chosen to take, but trust us on this one, it's different but you're gonna love it!
Although he does a lot more singin' than rappin', we see it as Ye making moves to the next level. Whether or not you love it or hate it depends on your willingness to keep an open mind. We believe that his fans will embrace his pain and connect with him in a way they haven't before as he bares his soul.
Stop by Kanye's MySpace page and give it a listen. You can add his 4th album, "808's & Heartbreak," to your collection when it officially drops on Monday, November 24th.
