New Kanye album is confirmed!

Drops either tonight or tomorrow. Can't believe this is happening.

Confirmed? You sure?

I know a listening party is scheduled, but... still no 100% clear title, right? Yeah, we heard “Love Everyhody,” but that doesn’t feel quite right.

No cover art? No songs previewed (unless “Lift Yourself” and “Ye Vs. the People” are on the album, which PLEASE GOD NO).

This would be the first time ever that he hasn’t previewed a tracklist, features and at least one single prior to the album’s release. Even “Yeezus” had “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead.”

I dunno man. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Gets released the same way Pusha's album did. The pre-order will be up in the evening I suppose, then we'll have the title and cover art. Push also said there's a version of Lift Yourself with actual lyrics that may or may not be on the album, and he released the "poop" version just to fuck with people.

evollove · 06.01.2018, 11:48 AM

Good or bad? I dunno yet.

But it's sure as shit interesting. I'm not bored.

h8kurdt · 06.01.2018, 12:33 PM

I've only given it one listen but there's not been one bit where I've thought "GET IN!". So far, so ok.

louder · 06.01.2018, 12:35 PM

Only kinda iffy about "All Mine" so far. The hook sounds like something off J.Cole's last album.

Everything else is so good. Tracks 4, 5 and 6 are full of beauty and joy.

Severian · 06.01.2018, 12:39 PM

Album Of The Year

Not that you're biased of course

I have several theories about this already, but this album is so good that I almost don’t give a shit about all the stupid shit Kanye’s done recently.

My god.

It’s loke all highs. Like Pablo minus the god complex and fillery moments.

This is the conemplation on humanity and human failings to the “God” posturing that was Yeezus.

SORRY, PUSHA

It’s not a bias. I just really like Ye’s music. WHEN IT’S GOOD.
I was harder on him for “Lift Yourself” and “Ye vs the People” than anyone here.

“Yikes,” “Ghost Town” the fuck you want?

h8kurdt · 06.01.2018, 12:46 PM

Reading reddit and here means I'm gonna have to go for a long (25 minute) walk with the headphones and soak it in more.

evollove · 06.01.2018, 12:50 PM

Did it hit anyone as great right away? For some reason, I feel it's a bit of a grower.

Exactly this.

louder · 06.01.2018, 01:02 PM

There's something so freeing about this album.

Makes me wanna stand in the middle of a valley and scream.

Spill the beans.

Yeah. Pusha's album is my shit but there is no contest.

Ill tell you this:

I was up waiting for the goddamn livestream to start until damn near midnight (I get up at 5, so... y’know, FUCK) and the snippets I heard when I did get up, before it became available, did not have me feeling good.

In fact, I put on “Waves” and “Good Life” on the way to work just to feel some good ass vibe Kanye.

When I listened to it in full, though, I was like, “This is lit” by track 2.
I’ve listened to it like eight times now.

I will, after it sinks in a little more.

There are some “Old Kanye” vibes here, along with some “darker than ever before by a fucking long shot” moments.

This is a diary entry album. It’s a bipolar album. It’s the human side of Kanye.
