Is he starting a new streaming company on which it will be exclusively available?

Seriously though, I can forgive all this guy's antics as part of the persona - he's a savvy guy who knows how to manipulate the media. No doubt about that. But this Tidal thing with Life of Pablo is just bullshit. It makes no sense at all, not in terms of marketing, not in terms of economics, not in terms of his image, nothing.

Honestly? I'm calling it a mixtape and moving on with my life.

i kinda forgot about Kanye released Life of Pablo for a while.

I'm liking this album more and more and more

 

[cobl04]

It's fucking dope as shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

The second half of Famous and everything about Father Stretch My Hands Part 1 that isn't the bleached asshole lyric have emerged as some of my favorite moments on the album.

Because honestly, I have to listen to this album in terms of moments and individual pieces, kind of like I do with Odelay. The arrangements are too fluid to pick out favorite "songs," per se. Highlights is a fucking mess, but parts of it are incredible, especially the delicate use of piano.

 

[Lancemc]

The asshole line is amazing.

 

[cobl04]

Agreed Lance. Hilarious.

 

[LemonMelon]

The Ray J line is funny. The asshole line is just stupid and destroys the momentum of that gorgeous beat. Maybe I'd like it more in the context of a brainless banger like Facts. That song is full of stupid shit that I gloss over. COUCHES COUCHES COUCHES

Worst line of the album though is that fridge/sandwich analogy in Wolves. It's like a whoopee cushion at a funeral.

 

[PhilsFan]

The two best verses on the album are Chance's and Kendrick's.

 

[LemonMelon]

My favorite feature is actually The Weeknd's. He's an absolutely perfect fit for FML and his hook is A1.

 

[cobl04]

Yeah The Weeknd's contribution on that track is so good. I also love Ty Dolla Sign on Real Friends, Frank Ocean on Wolves and all the collabs on Fade. That song isn't getting anywhere near enough love.

And fuck it, Three Stacks on 30 Hours too.

 

[Lancemc]

This album has the strongest guest spots of any Kanye album on the whole imo, part of the reason I'm beginning to feel this is one of his stronger records, the whole thing is really restless and intimate, sprawling and generous. Kanye at the top of his game as a curator and part of that is his willingness to let his collaborators continuously upstage him through this.

 

[LemonMelon]

Another great moment I forgot to mention:

STEP UP IN THIS BITCH LIKE
I'M THE ONE YOUR BITCH LIKE
AND I BE TALKING SHIT LIKE
I AIN'T AFRAID TO LOSE A FIST FIGHT

*epic, towering synths*

That's classic, life-affirming Kanye.

Hey Cobbz, did you ever get a working download link from Tidal? The album shows up in my purchased items but there's still no working download link.

So I'm seeing people on Twitter saying Kanye "accidentally revealed that he uses the Pirate Bay." I would think it more likely he is checking to see how many torrents of his album are active?

My thoughts too. But you know, logic escapes some people.

Well if he is $50 million in debt, I guess he can't afford to purchase music through appropriate channels.

 

[Mack_Again]

plenty of people get their music programs/software (like FL Studio) from pirating sites (like Pirates Bay or Torrent). Even Avicii does that, so I guess Kanye using Pirate Bay doesn't surprise me.

He probably gets a free Tidal hi-fi subscription, though?

to call him a hypocrite, would be a compliment

The tab title was something like "The Pirate Bay Xfer" and the next tab over was "Xfer-" something, which is apparently the name of a piece of music production software. So he was definitely torrenting it. But who the fuck has the time, energy, or patience to give a shit?

Oh, piss off. 2edgy4me

I dunno, maybe the people who might have made a buck or two if he'd paid for it?
