Once you obtain a certain level of wealth, fame doesn't even begin to factor in.
Isn't he doing Highlights? He mentioned him and Thugger would be on SNL together

Ok so I've just got home after being in meetings all morning. What's the latest on the album? Did it stream in high quality? Is there a release date? Can I re-watch the stream anywhere?

But that's not how it was announced initially, was it? I recall articles saying the album would release today too.
Audio was high quality, no release date, have no idea about re-streams.
I should say the audio quality sounded good to me idk, I'm no expert. Looking forward to hearing it again. There's some really good stuff on it.
What quality was the audio though?

Highly doubt that happens. Any album "exclusive" to tidal, like Rihanna's ANTI came to spotify after a week. Same with any Apple Music deals.
I don't even think Kanye's album will be exclusive to any service tbh.
Overall impressions:
Album has a lot of interesting production and vibes, a lot of verses that may or may not hold up over time (some were just super loud over the beats like Wolves, some were kind of eye rolly in lyrics), but the majority of that shit gets you moving or in fetal position. I could have done without a few of those transitions too, they weren't as sublime or complementary as you'd find in something like Rodeo, or even parts of Yeezus. Really need more run throughs at CDQ to tell.
Ultra Light Beams or FML might be my favourite tracks.
Wolves being the most disappointing because of the verse.
Freestyle 4 being the most surprising because pretty much every song in history with Freestyle in it's name is garbage.
Worst track might be Feedback? Hard to tell, this has been such a ride I can't remember the specifics of the first half of it.
Also the album art is garbage if real. Can't believe Ye OK'd that.

That being the only outlier. Makes sense though since Apple pretty much owns Dre.
Think it's on Googly Play tho
I just downloaded the one or two decent tracks and put it on my Spotify *shrug*

Maybe not on Spotify, but hopefully in other ways we'll be able to find it. it's all good with me.
What's weird is 2001 is on spotify, but not The Chronic. The fuck is up with that?

Yeah that sucks. I think everyone was really looking forward to finally getting the CDQ of it and Ye ruined it.
And Frank Ocean deserve shit until his ass drops a single. Can't believe Kanye dragged him out of whatever bomb shelter he's hiding in.

You knows what's weird is that chance the rapper has none of his albums on iTunes music or Spotify. Come on chance I just want to jam out convently to you

stream starting again and I'm getting it at 720p with no hitches, so if you want to re-watch in HD you probably hav ea good chance to do so

That's because Chance doesn't have any albums. Just mixtapes that have uncleared samples so they can't go on sale.
That Surf project with him and Donny Trumpet is on Spotify and most other services.
highly unlikely
I don't get the joke.
That isn't what I meant, I was talking about the actual audio output when using the stream at 240p or whatever.

So thar Thug track people went nuts over here..is that riding through the city? because if it is, i can just say for 1000% i am never going to be digging this guy's shit. smh.
For some reason i was kind of expecting to make even dig it slightly...but nahhh.

Think it's because they're mixtapes, so they're free and he doesn't put them on Spotify. Some artists like Vince staples have done the same thing. It's annoying
Edit: Also because of samples clearing of course.

O is that why damn chance drop an album then. Wasn't a big fan of surf but acid rap and the other mixtap can't thing of the name were fire!!
