[Tatsumi Oga]

yeah but with auto tune he can actually convery a bit of emotion , albeit autotuned, as he cant sign (by his own admission).

Ive never had an issue with autotune when used at the right times.

That kind of emotion isn't working for me then, but that;s because he speaks more gibberish than he actually says understandable things. Thats why i don't get why people fuck with his style...i just don't. Agreed about autotune being ok when used at the right times. Just too much on this album though.

Where are some dope features from.... shit i don't know....Pusha T, Rick Ross, Game perhaps? MBDTF sure had some really dope features. Here? Basically only Chance the Rapper and Kendrick Lamar.

 

[Ben Morales]

Kelly Price and Chance KILLED on that SNL performance of ULB. I hope this leads to a Kelly comeback...I think I might try to get into some Chance music too.

I'm with you on that one. I've always loved Kelly Price. Soul of a Woman and Mirror Mirror...

NYT Review



Yup

That review reads like someone from KTT wrote it. It's like insanely positive, and this is coming from someone who loves the album.

 

[perineumlick]

Thats what my last sentence was referring to. Maybe over time I will see it how you see it. Yeezus was garish for me on my first listen. I came around though.

That's how I feel here. Yeezus was like ugh to me at first; I thought he'd lost his mind. Now I like at least 4 songs on the album. This one is warming me up faster though.

You need to listen to that Kendrick Lamar verse again breh. Unless understandable gibberish is acceptable.

 

[Mik317]

I feel like that I'm the only one that liked discount-Future on part 2.

I liked the actual song before this...although I legit thought it WAS Future lol.

 

[Squire]

Wish I'd seen the 90 day trial for Beyoncé or whatever, but at this point, the album is so good I'll probably cop the physical of they actually sell it that way.

He should've got B for Waves instead of Chris.

 

[Ben Morales]

So is life of pablo going to get patched

Yes, FML is too OP

 

[Bowser]

I'm definitely more of a fan of TLoP than I was Yeezus. I tired of Yeezus real quick (basically only listen to New Slaves, Blood on the Leaves, and Bound 2 now)...I've had TLoP looping all day just jammin out.

I'm eatin' fam.

 

[Eos]

Desiigner

Dude won't pop off I think. We already have the real thing and he's shown no signs of slowing down

Yeah TM88 was tweeting about this clone earlier lol, saying he can't support the Panda record cuz he sounds too much like the real future

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

That's what I said..

What we have here is ye using auto tune to convey the emotions that he can't do normally. It was the whole concept of 808s. This album is literally a mix of all of his albums

True, it's a mix of all his albums. Sadly there is more autotune and singing than rapping, while the majority of his albums were truly full of him rapping. That;s what saddens me.

Totally.

I only got really into Yeezus ~ a year after it dropped. But then it became quickly debated as my top Kanye album between CD and Graduation.

Lots of people I know were the exact same way too.

 

[Zekes!]

I admit I had to look up who was on Pt. 2 'cause it sounded like Future but I knew it wasn't

 

[Bowlie]

I admit I had to look up who was on Pt. 2 'cause it sounded like Future but I knew it wasn't

me too, man.

 

[robotrock]

Where's that picture saying how someone from good music uploaded the zippy of this last night

edit: the screaming on facts is hilarious

 

[Eos]

The clone sounds even more like him on Freestyle 4

 

[Izuna]

Fuck Feedback might just be new Ye's best song.

[FZZ]

I thought it was him and started freaking out when I first heard it on Periscope

Poverty Future can spit tho

This is pretty much me.
1st listen of TLop but I've been playing it all Day since the 2nd listen pretty much

 

[Bowser]

RE: track ordering, I took Wolves to be the album finisher proper with everything after Silver Surfer being bonus tracks

IMO I take 30 Hours to be the end of the album and then everything after to be bonus tracks. 30 Hours basically working as a Last Call type capper.

 

[Zia]

Kanye's best by a mile, if really, really sad. Guy is such a great appropriator and curator. Chance's turn on Ultralight is genuinely moving.

 

[Dabanton]

I was really reminded of 'Happy People/U Saved Me' with the first few songs on this.

The vibe is certainly the same. And of course Kelly Price as well.

 

[cyborg009]

I admit I had to look up who was on Pt. 2 'cause it sounded like Future but I knew it wasn't

I can understand him a bit better than Future lol.

 

[Charlie0108]

Listened to the album today and also saw Deadpool. One was a disappointment and I'll give you a clue, it wasn't this.

Incredible album. I need to give it a few more days but as it stands my knee jerk reaction is that if it wasn't for Kendrick Lamar this would be my favourite album of the last 5 years.

 

[outunderthestars]

Just wading in here. So is the album out? I am so damn confused.

 

[robotrock]

Just wading in here. So is the album out? I am so damn confused.

Yeah. It's only available to stream on Tidal though.

He's going to release an updated version of the album next week, and sell/stream that outside of Tidal.

 

[Izuna]

Just wading in here. So is the album out? I am so damn confused.

Tidal exclusive - and Ye is still cleaning stuff up

EDIT: Beaten like a piñata

 

[Max Armstrong]

I really love that beat change on FML, reminds me of Fantastic Planet

 

[MThanded]

A lot of great stuff here.

Big fan of the patchwork of styles.

 

[Mortemis]

Just wading in here. So is the album out? I am so damn confused.

it's "out" as in it's on tidal.

You won't be able to buy the album or stream anywhere else for at least a week, and apparently it'll be a little different with Ye fixing up tracks like wolves.

 

[victreeb3l]

I really love that beat change on FML, reminds me of Fantastic Planet

Reminds me of Cudi's Man on the Moon 2

 

[Izuna]

This is how they listen to Highlights.

I have never been so inconsiderate of my neighbours before.

 

[ZROCOOL]

FML is some top tier shit.

 

[JSevere]

this shit goes too hard

Yeezus loves me this I know, Life of Pablo tells me so

 

[Joe]

The album is also streaming on his bandcamp for free with no signing up

He doesn't have a bandcamp. It's a fake.

I really wish this was legit.

 

[CoolOff]

Which track did DJ Dodger Stadium co-produce?

 

[EloquentM]

Lol this band camp owner is gonna get a c&d soon. His link is spreading like the plague

 

[Joe]

He doesn't have a bandcamp. It's a fake.

I really wish this was legit.

what the. so is this even the same thing that's up on tidal?

edit: damn, phishing for $$ too lol

 

[BIG_V-G-V]

Been at work all morning/afternoon. Wtf is this about the album going to be re-worked???? Lol damn Ye. Either way I'm still not gon' eat for another week.

Spoiler

Fuck Tidal

 

[kulapik]

http://kanyewestofficial.bandcamp.com/album/the-life-of-pablo

I don't think that's legit bruh

Just listened the album for the first time on HIFI and damn.

Best: Real Friends, Fade, NMPILA, Waves

 

[ubique]

Which track did DJ Dodger Stadium co-produce?

They're credited on Low Lights, and worked on at least 5 songs. One of them is Fade.

I heard this and then the one on TIDAL. I believe it's the real thing. Not sure about buying from them tho.

 

[tizaffy]

Yeah, I just hope they get officially demarcated as such. Silver Surfer Intermission is placed at too clean a break between Wolves and 30 Hours for them not to be extra tracks thrown on at the end. But man, everything from ULB to Wolves just feels so good and it doesn't feel like it overstays its welcome until everything past Silver Surfer.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see your comment before.

You dont like friends / nmila / fade / 30 hours? think all of those tracks are superb aswell. when the beat kicks in on fade at the end! shit man if that gets played at glastonbury at 2am this summer i will lose my shit!

Overall the album , due to the mentioned cohesive issues falls under the levels set by LR / MBTDF / YEEZUS but not by much.

 

[MThanded]

Kanye is the biggest shapeshifter in hip hop. This album has a lot going on and it all works.

 

[Ashhong]

IMO I take 30 Hours to be the end of the album and then everything after to be bonus tracks. 30 Hours basically working as a Last Call type capper.

But he says its a bonus in 30 hours

 

[HabeeNo]

Fade is Godlike, we better thank Chance that it made it in the album

Btw, Highlights is on some serious repeat since the first listen

 

[killertofu]

But he says its a bonus in 30 hours

Last Call was basically a bonus too.

If they did trim the album, I feel like parties and LA and facts could've gotten cut. Have Fade and then 30 Hours as the closer

 

[Bowser]

But he says its a bonus in 30 hours

True enough. Wouldn't mind if Wolves is the official capper, works fine that way.
