telegraph looking like fools... how can you be that unprofessional? Everyone shits on journalists already and this really doesn't help

 

[BMO = GOAT]

I partially agree; Kanye said the album was released though.. and he release it as an LQ stream.

So they correctly reviewed his release lol.

All this is weird, Kanye should just release it! Hopefully by tonight.

On another note, speaking of people who disappeared, wtf happened to XV????

 

[Ran rp]

Yeah just tried to get back in and nope

Everything's still up for me.

 

[5amshift]

Everything's still up for me.

Get out then back in, you'll notice the change.

 

[Feel the Swift]

Let's dispel this notion that The Telegraph don't know what they're doing. They know exactly what they're doing.

 

[Swag]

Will be able to buy this on iTunes?

 

[j-wood]

They probably are just getting the site ready so that it's good to go as soon as the album is ready for sale. Everyone guessed the password, which I guess they thought wouldn't happen, so they changed it.

 

[Lifejumper]

Telegraph already reviewed the album it seems & gave it a 6/10. Were they given an early copy? If not then they're basing it off of the LQ tracks that weren't even completely played yesterday.

Lmao. Its actually being counted on Metacritic. Unbelievable, no integrity.

 

[Ashhong]

He stated a date of yesterday last week; he then had an album release party.

I'm being partially facetious; but let's not pretend this "release" has gone remotely well.

If you want to get technical, he announced a release date for "Swish"

Nobody said the release is going well. But in no way did he "release" the album

 

[Infinite]

I partially suspect this is trolling and by design.

Yeah, Im replaying a shitty hq version of it...Yeezus release it already please

Wow, this is an unprofessional way to review a album, seriously why do they publish this.

[Courage]

I don't see anything wrong reviewing the live version. Technically it isn't the full version but he did say he was gonna play the album.

 

[Ran rp]

Get out then back in, you'll notice the change.

edit: i guess it's because that's shopify and not kanyewest.com

edit: now it says sold out lol

 

[Artanisix]

Do we have an actual release time yet

 

[Red_Man]

I just got through but it says the album is sold out lmao

I'm not familiar with Shopify but I'd be more inclined to believe they froze any sales in their store for whatever reason.

Probably gonna change that title one more time or something.

6 months from now certain members will be talking about how kanye meticulously crafted every genius maneuver during launch and how every track the order of the tracklist was an intentional gesture to be analyzed by fans and critics as statements on society and obvious meaningful tokens of symbolism.

Like, he reworked and reordered and changed the album a hundred times and handed it in for mastering on release day because he knew you wouldn't like track number 11. You weren't supposed to. It was "tongue in cheek". He was pushing the boundaries.

 

[Dishy]

Rihanna's Anti rollout looks normal now

It's sold out after I typed in my info and clicked for payment. It's probably not actually sold out, just off the site due to someone's fuck up.

 

[Kraftwerk]

"sold out"

 

[Ashhong]

I don't see anything wrong reviewing the live version. Technically it isn't the full version but he did say he was gonna play the album.

Aside from the fact that the actual release is going to have like 7 more songs, we have no idea if he even played the full versions of the songs yesterday. Many of them seemed to cut off abruptly. It's just stupid and unprofessional

 

[ZROCOOL]

Wait, what's going on?

 

[Ibuki]

"sold out"

Finally get a change after trying my card twelve times.... WHAAT

 

[FZZ]

Kanye's album is actually being sold through the eShop and that's why it's sold out

Please be excited

[Ran rp]

there's still time for a new album cover ye

 

[Kaizer]

"sold out"

Martin Shrkeli bought every copy THAT BASTARD!

 

[wenis]

Please be excited

If his album were to replace the e-shop music, that'd be awesome.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Isn't he stuck in South Africa? That's what the No More Parties in SA was about right? He might have got out by now but idk.

WTF. What exactly happened?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

lolol lmao at the gaming side kanye topic. Yikes.

 

[hughesta]

lolol lmao at the gaming side kanye topic. Yikes.

Yeah it's some sad shit

Yeah, nah. This rollout is gonna go down in history as a complete shambles regardless of the quality of the final product.

 

[Lucid07]

WTF. What exactly happened?

Something about coming in on a world passport, overstaying his visa, now not having a valid american passport and owing money to courts for child support

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

WTF. What exactly happened?

something about the SA gov holding him and threatening to deport his family or something. He explains all of it on his message at kanyewest.com

People are doing that already, heh.

 

[Dragnet]

Yeah it's some sad shit

Disrespectful af.

 

[Kyzer]

what is the point of this comment

Lol just so I can say I called it later. Even if the album is good they definitely rushed release. Something that happened with the last album too and some people still act like he did every little thing on purpose like it wasn't completely reworked from his original vision several times not a week before release.

 

[Cheddahz]

Lol just so I can say I called it later.

Well, aren't you cool?

 

[Kraftwerk]

Disrespectful af.

Yeah, I get if you dont like his music or a fan, but making fun of him over a game he is doing a tribute to his dead mother...smh.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Yeah, I get if you dont like his music or a fan, but making fun of him over a game he is doing a tribute to his dead mother...smh.

Indeed.

Sad people man. Like, whether the game is good or not is really immaterial; it's something someone made as a tribute to their dead mother. If it's not your thing, just hand wave it off. To patronize the effort, though? That's just...you're a sad person and should feel bad.

I guess you get what you deserve.

careful, I almost cut myself here

 

[Staccat0]

Disrespectful af.

I guess you get what you deserve.

 

[Lucid07]

I guess you get what you deserve.

Word on the street.

OT: But everyone to the sneaker thread next friday, Adidas Backdoor

 

[Dragnet]

I guess you get what you deserve.

wow, get out

 

[Brinbe]

lol sold out... what a crazy couple of days.

 

[Ashhong]

Yeah, nah. This rollout is gonna go down in history as a complete shambles regardless of the quality of the final product.

eh, i feel like its only in shambles to the hardcore. and only because we are following every single tweet and periscope.

 

[PBY]

eh, i feel like its only in shambles to the hardcore. and only because we are following every single tweet and periscope.

Yeezus was almost equally shitshowy

People forget how slapped together the projections of new slaves, the leaks, the rubin stuff all where.

 

[wenis]

eh, i feel like its only in shambles to the hardcore. and only because we are following every single tweet and periscope.

yea, bobby america is still goin to classes, calling his mom and going out on dates and doesn't give a fuck about this nonsense. the album will be out tomorrow and he'll look at his facebook feed and go "Oh hey, a new Kanye album!"

all of this in the end means nothing. we'll have a new kanye album tomorrow and no one will be talking about release strategies and this or that because it doesn't mean anything. it's kanye west. people will come.
