I really don't want to have to take another L.

You know you're gonna take it, just accept it now.

 

[Stabby McSter]

NO GETTING OFF THE L TRAIN

CHOO CHOO

 

[mckmas8808]

Check out My Name is My Name by Pusha T. The whole album is Kanye West production but, Pusha, unlike Kanye, is a natural spitter with really strong delivery and he just glides effortlessly over Ye's beats.

How is it, that I've never heard this album yet? And I'm from Virginia. I'll take this L while I listen to it now. Ain't like we getting that TLOP today anyway.

Have you never listened to Pusha before?

 

[Ashhong]

I guess that means no change for the album art. Small L for me..

 

[Ran rp]

At least it's the better looking one of the two.

 

[mckmas8808]

yes, it's worse
there's some annoying background drums that were added on top of the bass, so the tidal version sounds "weaker" than the original version

Jesus CHRIST!!! First he removes Sia from Wolves and now this?! You guys were right, I shouldn't have listened to these OG versions of the songs first.

Now I'm going to be just disappointed when the final album drops.

Have you never listened to Pusha before?

Yeah back when he was rocking with Pharrell. I've heard him on a bunch of features since he got with GOOD Music, but not that album. Did you like it?

 

[Dany]

omg

Fade is amazing.

 

[PBY]

Liked it, didn't love it. Has some great tracks though.

Pusha put out a new album more recently, which I thought was great too. His last mixtape before these two I also enjoyed.

hnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggg

The Fade on Tidal is fine. Best version, imo.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Oh my god

 

[Eos]

The Fade on Tidal is fine. Best version, imo.

The bass on the OG version is so fucking good. Way better than the one we got on Tidal.

 

[Septic360]

Oh my god

I don't get it. What's the big deal about the vinyl (I'm new to this falafel)

 

[Veritigo_X]

I don't get it. What's the big deal about the vinyl (I'm new to this falafel)

It's TLOP in physical form.

 

[Ranger Taffles]

This 100%. There's a clear difference in the loud grit of the tone.

 

[Acorn]

No tidal bullshit

You probably wouldn't bother with a large volume test press unless you were "done" with a record.

 

[EloquentM]

You probably wouldn't bother with a large volume test press unless you were "done" with a record.

And we're planning on a physical release... In this case vinyl

 

[Ran rp]

It's almost obnoxiously hard. In my headphones, at least. The bass on Tidal is a little weak, yeah, but it doesn't sound too flat to me. I guess something in the middle would be best.

wait where's our new Good Friday song

why does Ye like lying so much

 

[Fevaweva]

Kanye West is the Peter Molyneux of rap music...apart from he actually delivers on some of his promises. Or at least the final product is worth wading through the bullshit.

 

[lastflowers]

Yesssssss

 

[FZZ]

wait where's our new Good Friday song

[Tetsuo9]

Kanye West is the Hideo Kojima of hip-hop

The Life Of Pablo is his Metal Gear Solid V

 

[FZZ]

Tidal is Konami

 

[Baroquemantic]

So a physical release really is maybe happening? Awesome.

Also, my OT2 attempt:

Spittin' Escobars

or

Painting Escobars

First five songs range from great to good, then the quality sort of tapers off middle of the album for three songs, then the backend of the album finishes strong. Only 12 tracks clocking in at 46 minutes, so its not like its a major time investment to check it out.
Best songs are:
Numbers on the Board-Pounding bass and a nice drum loop
King Push-Beat sounds like a leftover from MBDTF
Sweet Serenade, a trap beat with Chris Brown killing the hook.
Nostealgia- Kendrick shows up for a guest spot on this one, beat is a looping guitar riff, very rocknroll, like the kind of stuff Alchemist produces for Action Bronson
Pain-The big single off the album featuring Future. Great track

Bleached asshole line is his Quiet, as already discussed

Thanks! Yeah, could be nice.

Wouldn't mind a TLOP vinyl. Still bummed about no Yeezus or Graduation releases, but at least I picked up the Flashing Lights picture disc. So sexy.

madlib flashing a test pressing (though given what most people have said about vinyl masters of previous albums, I don't have much hope this will be properly mastered for vinyl)

That Instagram is suspect.

It has 2 posts and I can't find madlib talking about his Instagram on Twitter.

Another L.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Yeah I'm calling fake

 

[Veritigo_X]

The tracks on the vinyl look like they're about right length for the first 7 tracks though.
