It will be most pirated album of the year. Frankly, I'm fine missing out. Making your product a hassle to obtain just makes me lose interest in your product. If I cant walk into a store and buy a copy or DL from some easy to access service I'm good just listening to all the other music around.
 
Crazy thing is they sold preorders with the tickets to see Yeezy season 3.

Hope y'all plan to give me a lifetime tidal membership.

If they refund my money then we know it's true.
 
holy shit there is a response to that tweet of his announcing it would only be in Tidal of a guy showing a screnshot of the album in his phone.

People replied asking him how he got it on his phone and he is explainning to them how to download torrents.

If this isnt the most awesosme irony in the world.... well its up there
 
Buying a Tidal subscription is like buying tampons for your 18 year old son.

It's pointless, a waste of your money, and people are going to think you're fucking weird.
 
puffy pioneered that clothing line stuff before jay and rocawear didn't he?

i could see why kanye views him as an influence
 
no, it will actually be in all streaming music services the next day.

torrents, download, and use any service to listen to your personal library. Hey, Kanye is on spotify! and deezer! what a world!

FUnny how he thinks he can control the music industry like this these days.

Not putting your own album on every streaming service is hardly trying to "control the music industry." Lots of other large musical artist have done the same with lots of success.

Lot's of large artists have said they are going to make their album exclusive to one of the least popular streaming services for the life of the album?
 
I was planning on buying the disc and record, but I suppose I'll just have to download it off the web for free since I won't be able to. Ridiculous.
 
Can't wait to hear his rant about how Tidal subscriptions didn't increase by a single person, and his kids are so ashamed that they won't look him in the eyes.
 
He said "it will never be for sale." ....but you can buy it for $20 on tidal...... Is he even aware of that?

Or is that page gone now? I was looking at it yesterday. $20, enter credit card info, they send you download link.

Edit - and what about the people that pre-ordered it for purchase? Did any of them get their downloads?

Double edit - also I have a sneaking suspicion that all of this BS is cover up for something seriously broken on his website. It's still just loading the voicemail. And Mike Dean had that periscope where it was supposed to launch on KW dot com and then "something went wrong" and he cut it off. So yeah. Buncha fishy stuff going on.
 
Or in other words "please pirate my album."

Not that I condone piracy, but in this day and age, you either make your music as widely available as you can or it gets stolen. Nobody is signing up for Tidal to listen to one album.

Those other artists at least let me purchase the album and not lock it into a streaming service as the only way to listen to it
 
I suppose this is why I subscribed to TIDAL, newly released mainstream music exclusivity. Pretty lame for everybody else who pays the same $10 a month for one of the other (essentially identical) streaming services.

It's not like everybody will ever be on one service.
 
i feel like ... umm, that sci-fi simpsons gif haha sorry i can't recall the name

i'm just sitting here like, shut up kanye and take my money, and he like nope nope nope
 
Joke's on you Ye I was going to buy you're album but now I'm just gonna use free trials to listen to it.

Fuck Tidal. Stop holding Kanye and Prince hostage on your garbage ass service.
 
There has to be an option to purchase. What's the alternative??? Piracy is ridiculous. As is not selling your album to people who really want to buy it.

There was an option to purchase it for $20 on tidal without a membership as of yesterday at least. I can't find the link now.
