I wouldn't write Kanye a blank check for him to utilize on that massive chart, no. But I might listen to his ideas on some very specific things to see if it's worthwhile.
Glancing at his list.. he might have some interesting thoughts on Films, Stage Design, Laptop and Mobile Apps, Spas, Restaurants, Hotels, and Salons. Shoot he might even have interesting aesthetic ideas in Cars, Bikes, and Motor Cycles.
Some of the rest of that chart though... well beyond him at this point.

Might or might not be true, it sounds crazy tbh.
Keep in mind that Kanye believes God is doing 90% of the work he does for him and is giving him ideas that his pastor told him are God Dreams.
He definitely feels divinely inspired to do this work.

Def Jam. That was the peak number for that livestream. Apparently the problems were because of AMV the company Tidal hired to manage the video stream.
Wait, do you mean to suggest he can't cure cancer if given unlimited resources?
Fuck.
ALL CAPS TWEETING, ANOTHER KANYE WEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD. YOU'RE ALL VERY WELCOME.
Ya, when you rich you can never really incur debt of any kind. You're invulnerable. Look at this guy, he knows whats up.
what is kanye smoking
People like you are either trolling with this or are just completely and utterly confused about money.
Man, if you look at the tracklisting for Waves... I feel like I understand why so many songs are only 2 mins long, those are the ones added later.

When you owe 50 million dollars the creditors are pretty much at your mercy
I wouldn't have hated this old track list, you know.#

Gunna make a playlist in this order, see if it flows differently.
I just played it in this order and it sounds really solid. Less "filler" it seems.

I don't actually think that he thinks he can cure cancer or anything along those lines. I think he probably views himself as a conductor and thinks that if he's taught enough about any subject, he'll be able to arrange the right people and pieces together to create or manifest something others can't. The ultimate idea man/project manager.
Yes it's obvious the man is over reaching but it's hard to hate that he's aiming for the stratosphere.

Yeah you accumulate 53 million of debt because your lenders know you can afford to pay it back two or three times over.

i would for streetwear and other clothing.
the rest though, hell no. dude is closer to dame dash than jay z in terms of business acumen.
edit: i admire that he has no compromise for his vision but it's also what hurts how even more successful he could have been. this dude is so good at picking and choosing the sound of the future and adapting it to his albums. if he wanted to be the biggest rapper on the radio again he could easily do it and go make another graduation/late registration. but he doesn't want to, and that's cool. he'd rather go more experimental and do what he wants. the rare times now when he does make some radio-ready hits we get something huge like niggas in paris.
if he wanted to make a successful clothing company he could do that too, but he's more interested in avant-garde (and frankly trash looking) fashion. personally i think he speaks like an idiot and he definitely needs some help. it's sad but i think many can admit he kind of fell way off the deep end after his mom died. but creatively he's extremely interesting and he can be as successful as he wants to be in music and fashion, he just doesn't seem to want to do that mass-market kind of output.
Yeah I love this. It feels perfect. Highlights before Feedback is definitely how it should be.

TIDAL exclusive for a week.
Do you have any idea what it's like to have my earphones plugged into my fucking laptop for hours? I feel like I'm in jail.
I had a solution before but I want this lossless version. I can't even BUY it.

Fuckin' TIDAL.
hey man glad yr loving the album it really is incredible just wanted to say every three or four days go back to Death Grips and keep trying. If you like Yeezus you'll break through eventually. It's just steep.
If it makes you feel better the album isn't actually finished yet

keep an eye on the writers and make note of the good ones and the ... not good ... ones.
Holy shit no thanks.

This OG order for TLoP just turned it into my fav Kanye album. I recommend it for people who are still iffy with it.
man kanye making me feel so bad when he calls out for help like that. hope he gets some semblance of peace sometime cause you can tell he has high expectations for everything lol.
maybe facebook should make kanye a spokesperson/ambassador or some shit like apple's got dre
god damn tho, fucking famous. when that beat switches up it's too good, i will never not groove to that. the ad libs over it are starting to really grow on me too ahaha i never expected that. was thinking that the sample reminded me a lot of old 70s hindi/indian music that timbo always samples - it would be super cool if kanye did something with that same repertoire (ie i want to see him transform that stuff into soul and i can kind of picture it)

Tidal has a phone app too though
"Wake up Mr.West"
Best ad-lib on the track for me and one of my favorite moments on the album.
fucking windows phone
I hope it's a little more than just Wolves to be honest.
Same
You have no one to blame but yourself.
I have a windows phone as well
Well I can hardly even get it to play through the web browser. Even then, the lossless version won't work.
I mean, I know I CAN get it on my phone, it's just that I like this so much I don't feel like setting up playlists with pirated versions and whatever. I have checked the web for when that official download is up.
Honestly I'm torn.

Groove Music + OneDrive functionality is basically the ONLY reason why I am still with WP. Not having it compatible with a Ye album makes me angry.
Definitely got an immediate smile out of me, love the callback.
"one thing you can't do is.. STOP US, NOW.
ehh
you can't stop a thing now
man it's way too lit, it's way too lit, it's way too lit - you can't fuck with us
WOOOOOOOOOO"
lmao i love it
