You say that like deluded egotistical millionaires haven't given us some of the best, most emotionally charged records in modern music history

If you don't want to connect to music why bother listening music at all? I get that people really get rubbed the wrong way by Kanye but that's a seriously asinine blanket statement to make in order to further your argument that Kanye sucks.

werd. step one wants to hear an average everyday normal guy spit some bars.

Kanye's twitter is fucking hilarious and sometimes its only that that keeps me paying attention to his antics

his twitter gives proof that he still is one of us

Groundbreaking. You know he's still pissed Wu Tang came up with that "only 1 copy" idea first though.

It was like a one night stand with this album. I still think it's pretty dope for the most part, but I haven't really listened much after the first week of bumping it. Don't think I care to listen to it all that much again either. Anyone else feel this shit was mad disposable?

[seagrams hotsauce]

It's definitely not as cohesive as any of his last albums. I like the majority of it, but it still comes across as bloated. I think it would have benefitted from cutting it down to 45~ minutes and some better sequencing

re: any release ever

[Blockhead]

Like most of his releases, I find myself going back to 4 or 5 songs often but the rest just kinda fades away after a few listens.

yeezy needs to get off twitter, i feel like the novelty of him tweeting has worn off pretty quickly.

he really shoulda stopped after his birthday tweet about seinfeld

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

it was good publicity for the album.... especially since he came off like a douche

none of this applies to Yeezus though, let alone every record ever :/

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

ya dude just joshin ya

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

i think the poor sequencing was deliberate

[Escobar305]

The album sounds great on shuffle.

The chopped and screwed version I posted up top (which is fucking fantastic BTW) reorders the sequence brilliantly IMO.

If you're planning to be fucked up, again, I can't recommend the C&S highly enough.

Streaming wars aside, Tidal also finally released numbers for Kanye West's The Life of Pablo streams for the first time, after West requested the service withhold the numbers when the album first became available in February. According to Tidal, Pablo surpassed 250 million streams in its first 10 days of release. Pablo, which West previously said would only ever exist on Tidal, has been going through some changes in real time of late as the artist updates certain tracks, and just yesterday made the single "Famous," featuring Rihanna, available on both Apple Music and Spotify, ending his Tidal-only crusade.

Jay Z Says Firm That Sold Him Tidal Inflated Subscriber Numbers

Jay Z is showing signs of buyer’s remorse.

A year after buying struggling music-streaming service Tidal in a $56 million deal, the hip hop mogul is going after the previous owners for compensation. Tidal sent a letter to Schibsted ASA, a Norwegian media company, accusing the seller of overstating subscriber numbers at the time of the deal.

“It became clear after taking control of Tidal and conducting our own audit that the total number of subscribers was actually well below the 540,000 reported to us by the prior owners,” Tidal said in an e-mailed statement. “As a result, we have now served legal notice to parties involved in the sale.”

[Hayzoos]

Finally heard it now that it's on Spotify. This album is so fucking good.

[step one]

Who the fuck spends $56 million on a company and then audits it afterwards? You do all that shit first to make sure you know what you're buying.

Kanye West's "The Life of Pablo" is finally ready to chart, and it will reportedly become the first album to ever go No. 1 off streams alone.

At the beginning of the month, Kanye Westfinally made The Life of Pablo available on Spotify and Apple Music, as the album had previously remained exclusively on Tidal and Kanye's own website since its February 14 release. The decision came after Kanye had said he would never put The Life of Pablo on Apple, promising that it would forever remain exclusive to Tidal. In moving the album to Apple Music and Spotify, however, The Life of Pablo is now eligible to be listed on the charts, and according to HDD, Kanye's seventh studio album is set to debut at No. 1, making it the first album ever to attain the top spot off streaming numbers alone.
