Kanye West - The Life of Pablo

---NOW STREAMING ON TIDAL---

I'm a big fan of his first 5 albums, Late Registration being a favourite. After Yeesus, I thought that was it for me, but this new one is surprisingly good!

With that said, I think the album could have benefited slightly with the early configuration...

I just saw him on SNL...and I just don't understand why people dig him! He sucks so bad! Autotuned, boring as fuck and WAY over paid!!! I would not EVER support a poor excuse of an artist as he is! I just finished watching his last song on SNL...and I'm literally dumbfounded that people like and actually pay to hear this shit? Make me a rich mother fucker! I could sample and auto tune my cats farts over a tired track and have fans!

Was gonna say the same thing.

Seems like an awesome way to make money (if possible)

I'd be less impressed by the money-making and more concerned about the cat-fart recording.

If you go on his performances alone he's extremely amatuer and downright poor.

He's had some good songs and a few really nice hip hop albums.

But the criticisms still stand; piss-poor performer, heavy sampler and poor autotune singer (which is the funniest of them all).

BTW Chance The Rapper stole the performance on SNL for me.

I can't stand Kanye in general either.

his use of auto-tune is atrocious,he is ,along with Jay z,

the most overrated rapper ever and that is not hyperbole!

that being said,I listened to this album on TIDAL this morning and it's not as bad as

yeezus.it's minimalistic,sparse and melodic.2.5/5

EDIT:tried to listen a second time and had to turn it off.sorry it sucks.was just somewhat nice first thing in the morning when super tired.auto-tune all over the place

Can we please talk about his music/performance on SNL please? What did u guys think? I was a bit perplexed by the performance to be honest. It was cool to see El Debarge and Kelly Price get some shine though. I really need to hear the album as a recording first though to form an honest opinion about the new music. Any of u heard it yet? I know you all despise him but please let's stick to the music.

That's his fault really but people in general don't acknowledge his skills and buy into the sensationalism. However, his fan/fam/stanbase is one of the worst this side of The Beatles, Beyonce, Eminem and Taylor Swift. They will go to great lengths to justify the stupid things Kanye says and does and try to paint him as some misunderstood visionary as a means to ratify his petulant behavior and childish attitude (i.e. Kanye just doesn't know how to communicate his thoughts out loud or some equally BS excuse) when he's a grown ass man. The dude is pushing 40 yet his stans act like he shouldn't be held accountable for his actions. His mom dying has really changed him but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be defended from legitimate criticisms. Kanye nuthuggers are the worst.

He got ripped to shreds for his use of BITCH all over the place and getting a pass to degrading of women buy using the term ART. Im tired of hearing hes an asshole but a genius, honestly at this point I dont even give a shit that he exists. Now he's in debt like america should care, got people in the street, and this asshole wants us to care he is in debt? GFY

mysogyny and homophobia are all over hip hop... why is Kanye the only one being called out for it.

Also, the Swift lyric is actually kinda funny. There's literally an embargo on saying anything negative about her in the press.

The album is fantastic. Near MBDTF.

Well that is always the way, I mean who is calling out someone that no one has heard of? has that ever happened in any age? As for Swift I hear bad shit about her all over, she is the joke of everyone, the article that came out about the use of BITCH was not just taking aim at him it was taking aim at females that allow it. As for saying he is in debt 53 million that to me is again his ego that we should care that he is in debt, is he sleeping on the street? no that isnt going to happen then really should he be crying about debt in this day and age. And yes he gets called out because he is a polarizing figure that puts himself out there for it, tired of hearing the old excuse WHY does he get shit, he asks for it by taking center stage and doing it. The wounded victim routine does not fly anymore, reminds of Daryl Strawberry in the 80's who blamed everyone for his drug use but himself, blamed the media, the team, the announcers, his wife, the fans, till someone put him in his place and said NO you are a drug addict, get help or don't.

Exactly. And let's ignore the fact that Taylor Swift was cool with that line when Kanye explained it to her.

Kanye West is a tabloid celebrity now.It's no longer about the music anymore.He has turned himself into a media punching bag.This new album will be in the news for about a week,then the attention will return back to his Twitter feuds and his Hollywood marriage.

It's about the music if you want/choose it to be. This album will ultimately be one of the best of this year... Yet you choose to focus on his media personality... Your choice.


You can stay hating, whilst the rest of us are enjoying some GREAT music... Music that I will continue to enjoy for weeks, months, years to come
