[Nickdogmoneycash]

NMPILA sounds way better to me

 

[Zekes!]

Yeah I tried to buy it on Tidal but I was getting errors. Now their main page saying download at kanyewest.com but still getting that Mos Def phone call

Fuck

 

[Squire]

That beat switch on Famous!

"Stop us NOW!"

 

[Courage]

Fade in the whip is gonna be awesome

 

[213372bu]

It does... after Kanye goes on and on about this that and the other.

:| I'll have to get back to that after I hear FADE, because everyone is loving it.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Yeah, FADE >>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Kaizer]

Yea, what can ya do.

My D7000's are itching.

EDIT: 3 STACKS REALLY IS ON 30 HOURS

SHEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

 

[Ashhong]

Yeah, I don't feel like it needed all that spoken word stuff, especially being in the middle of the album.

Not really in the middle of the album..it's track 15 and kicks off the "Bonus Tracks"

 

[Japanmanx3]

They fixed fade but still won't let me buy......what?

 

[Jay-Hova]

Literally just running around the dark streets and dancing while listening to this.
Perfect

 

[Ben Morales]

I wanna listen to Fade so damn bad. But I gotta go chronological on my first listen... Even though I had to back up and hear Pt. 2 again!

 

[MThanded]

i just want to listen to this

why won't anything work 😢😭

Man im in the same boat.

I don't understand how there has been no mention of the preorder codes.

 

[Mik317]

this album is great yall.

every song is good (IMO of course) so far.

wooooooooo

 

[sdornan]

Upon first listen, I feel like Kanye made some really weird decisions in track ordering and transitioning. It's good but lacks the cohesiveness of a classic album.

 

[Kaizer]

Waves is great, thank you Chance for saving this for us!

 

[iShouldGoPro]

How is no one in here talking about No More Parties in LA?
Straight fire!

 

[Courage]

The Fade outro is everything and more.

WOW

[Get'sMad]

arthur russell and a hardrive - deep inside sample

god bless you kanye

 

[blame space]

feedback is such a sick idea for a beat

 

[Psychological Intellect]

How is no one in here talking about No More Parties in LA?
Straight fire!

Because it's been out for like a month

 

[8BitsAtATime]

This was worth the wait.

 

[Hip Hop]

How is no one in here talking about No More Parties in LA?
Straight fire!

We heard it weeks ago.

 

[Makai]

How did he make me miss the old cover.

 

[victreeb3l]

I FEEL IT

I FEEL IT FADIN

 

[EloquentM]

I can see why this was gonna be called waves. It's super wavy.

 

[blackaroni]

Praise him...

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I still can't listen to it

 

[sephi22]

How is no one in here talking about No More Parties in LA?
Straight fire!

Discussed to death when it was released for good fridays. People itching for that new shit in CDQ

 

[Citizen_Insane]

wolves stay ruined, but god cdq is so good. i'm torn.

miss u vic

 

[Japanmanx3]

I still can't listen to it

I really might just go to bed smh...

 

[sdornan]

Not really in the middle of the album..it's track 15 and kicks off the "Bonus Tracks"

I guess it makes more sense if you think of it as the last track and the rest as bonus tracks. I still prefer the talking-less version.

 

[MThanded]

I called the ticket people for the preorder they were told by defjam that the codes should be coming soon. they don't have an ETA


So i guess i'm calling it a night.

See the faithful tommorow. I took another L.

 

[PHOTOSHOP]

PM a zip plz

 

[hughesta]

I called the ticket people for the preorder they were told by defjam that the codes should be coming soon. they don't have an ETA

so at least we'll get it eventually.

 

[Dragnet]

Waves is great, thank you Chance for saving this for us!

Mad to think this was almost a 10 track. Blessed Kanye!

 

[riotous]

Finally gave up and signed up for Tidal lossless. Currently streaming in 3 rooms in lossless (I guess?)

 

[Dereck]

Shiiit

If one were too at all, where would one place All Day on the tracklist?

 

[RecRoulette]

FML to Real Friends, so good.

 

[Red_Man]

Really wish I hadn't listened to that live stream, I'm so weak.

This album is everything and more.

Yeezus saves.

 

[blame space]

If any eurobrehs still with us, special shouts out to you guys. We did it.

 

[Brinbe]

Pt. 2
FML
Fade

those 3 are it.
