I've looked at Kanye's timeline and no kind of criticism is being tossed his way that was tossed at Prince by Prince fans. Like that you have no career that's why you're giving your music away on the only platform that will pay you type of stuff aimed at Prince. BTW I love tidal and mostly all streaming services, mainly because if you're joe schmo in your home studio working hard trying to be a musician and put a project out, you don't need a label or to travel the country with CD's in your trunk anymore. THATS GOOD for musicans and music lovers.

How could I not smile at you sweet jane

also, i'd reconsider calling myself the Walt Disney of this generation in the same post
where i'd beg Mark Zuckerberg for 1 billion dollars

ok, i admit, i'm NOT a Ye fan but unlike his haters (esp. on here), i have ears and can admit that DESPITE his uber assholery, he's made some of the best music (hip hop or otherwise) of the last decade. dude raised the bar, shame his mind is GONE

Seems like the reviews are mixed about this new album and Kanye is mad about it, so he tweets stuff like "To Pitchfork, New York Times, and any other white publication...please do not comment on black music anymore."

Over a half million people have downloaded a pirated copy of The Life of Pablo a day after its release, in part fueled by the album's limited availability.

You mean the same white publications that lauded and heralded Yeezus?

That is so Yeezy

I think it's funny how Prince drops an album on tidal and people go crazy on Prince and Kanye streams it on Tidal a week before it drops and not one person anywhere on twitter is going crazy on him or complaining. And not one fan is telling Kanye Tidal sucks and is a terrible platform etc etc etc. Funny how shit works

Literally everyone on my TL is telling him to stop trying to make Tidal happen lol

So, does anyone actually want to talk about the album, or?

it has a metascore of 83 rn... reviews definitely aren't mixed. Pitchfork gave it a 9/10. Kanye expects 10/10 tho

They can only track torrents. You can pirate download directly if you know where to look and you're in no danger of the DMCA. I just did a quick search and I can download it for free in 20 minutes in either FLAC or 320kbps mp3 If I wanted it.

Sure. What's the meaning behind the album title? Who's this Pablo character? Pablo Picacco, Pablo Escobar?

of course there are going to be some negative reviews... kanye is a polarizing character. What does that prove? nothing.

On average, this is getting really great reviews. Reviews are not mixed

[Edited 2/16/16 18:56pm]

I fucked a model who just bleached her asshole. If i get bleach on my shirt ima feel like an asshole.

Honestly i loved kanyes ''dark trilogy' 808's-Yeezus.

The album is a mess and all over the place (which is the point i'm guessing)

Feedback is a pretty dope song. Waves is actually... kind of beautiful. I hate Chris Brown more than i hate taking a shit when i'm constipated. But the chorus on Waves is pretty and atmospheric. The final track Fade remains me of King Kunta from Kendrick. A solid funk number and a great album closer. Wolves sounds so much better with Sia on the chorus. Knye doing the chorus just sounds messy and weak.

No More Parties is of course great... Facts is still shit. The freestyles are meh and not really needed honestly. Although the I Love Kanye one is the most kanye thing..... ever

overall a messy album and i'm mixed so far. I can see why people would hate it though

he might release a few more good tracks for GOOD fridays in the coming weeks/months,

so you could always tweek the tracklist a bit. although that's besides the point, i know

This is the funniest Twitter nonsense I've ever seen. That @MartinShkreli guy says some person named Daquan took 15 million dollars in "bitcoins" to "own" Kanye's new album. And scammed him.

.

Today Kanye is on Twitter whining about how he took a hit for his Tan Couture Hefty Bag Sweatpants Collection and is out 53 million. Maybe this is why he had to plug in a ridiculous, hilariously sad commercial for his wife's outdated sex tape on his latest single?

.

SNL performance was f'n weird - what is this song a musical blog post? They were like in a moving Tardis singing on top of each other in those weird Mad Max flesh tone clothes. El Debarge was there for some reason. Kelly Price looked stuffed into that outfit and confused as to why she was there too.

.

Someone said this album could be relevant for weeks, months, even years.

Oh my!! Oh My!!!!

I missed my boy, El Debarge!!!!!!!

I would have needed advance warning to take medication for nausea and vomiting in order

to watch that crazy man, " /> Kanye, but it would've been worth it to see El..

This version is WAYYYYY better!
