I had this post ready to go.
smh I'm not even half turnt
they usually are by weeks in advance. months in some cases. it gives them time to send that shit back like "we need a hit or we aint releasing this shit." (ex: Cole World:SS and Work Out)
but Def Jam gives Kanye free reign after 808s succeeded despite their doubts. he calls his own shot and Def Jam rolls w/ it.
i remember Questlove saying on Okayplayer once that Def Jam gives them a great level of control considering they don't sell a lot. Although they're more beholden to deadlines, as long as their albums keep getting good critical reviews and end up on Year End lists they can keep cooking. The Roots give Def Jam something they can point to and say "see we support good music and art" for credibility.

He was remastering/reworking Cruel Summer up until its iTunes release. The physical/retail release were different, so it's not unusual for him.
I would
I used to post there a lot during 808 days I think it was. Then the shit got too crazy for me.
I think I see what you did there

i remember 808s going through a LOT of revisions. there were so many leaks and each revision sounded different from the last. i still prefer the old synths to the keys on the final "welcome to heartbreak".
everyone does. that's the version on my itunes
Seems right on target for a thread with this many replies TBH.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
lurkers waiting for someone to slip up with a leak link.

Goddamn, hearing Onsite has me hyped
YES. Is this version still around somewhere?
They can't be. There's no way. Shit needs to be manufactured by now. It's done.
Yeezy projected to do 500k. Probably will go up, but that's a good number.
New recordings of Send It Up, Bound and I'm In It. Looks like it was filmed outside of the NYC listening session. First complete footage of Bound IIRC, and some of the only, maybe the only, of I'm In It.

Yeah if Kanye flew from NYC to Switzerland, I don't think he had time inbetween to get it in with Rick Rubin. We're hearing about stuff that happened a while ago, and Rick was probably brought in before the mixed and mastering reports. Then again, Ye was finishing both MBDTF and CS up until and even past release. The cleaner, [better] mastered version of CS was uploaded to iTunes after, and retail and the original digital release have the old versions.

Is that the CDQ version of Black Skinhead? If so, I'm worried vocally it isn't as powerful/intense as the live version. Live he yells the lyrics almost, where here he doesn't. Still sounds good though!

I just want to hear this album now actually yesterday, I'm ignoring most everything tangential.
God it's so hard to stop myself from clicking those previews. I have literally never restrained from previews like I am for this. I figure if Ye doesn't even want to put out singles and shit, it must be for good reason.
GOING IN BLIND YO
5 fucking days and we will have this on our harddrives. FIVE!!!! (assuming it comes out online at midnight PST)

Stay Strong yo, I remember in the MBDTF thread how much we all regretted getting burned out on the tracks that released prior to the album when it came out. Not making that mistake again!
My thoughts too, snl version was way more powerful (if this is cdq that is).

Album looks extremely strong to me fam.
I can't get enough of the previews of Onsite and Sent it Up. Loooove how those came out.
Any better previews of Could Have Been Somebody than that anywhere? I think Onsite will be a club/car banger fam but I think Could Have Been Somebody is going to be a fucking charts piranha when they decide to let it fly.
Also this version is fairly clean.

would be great if he did 500k, promo has been crazy for this album, the funniest part is Kanye claiming they're not doing any promo for this like we are stupid. Many kanye fans will think that though
snl performance was kind of amazing really. SNL black skinhead is some next level shit on a show where musical guests tend to sound like ass.
I remember the Daft Punk guy talking about Kanye having some raw screaming primal stuff in the studio- surely he didn't scrap it and replace it with a clean rap. It could have just been the version he was playing
G.O.O.D friday itself.
Christian Dior Denim Flow or Don't Look Down.
I still can't decode what Cudi is saying at the end of Christian Denim Flow.

All I remember from that verse off the top of my head is him saying
"boney wrist"
and then later
"DIOR DIOR DIOR I LOVE THE CUT"
GOOD Friday.

Yeah that one is mine. King Push on a risky beat. No your headphones are not broken on that track.
Transcript of Kanye's Speech at the Switzerland Listening Party.
"What I want people to understand about sampling and producing is that its really similar toand I know this is obvious what Im going to say, because Im a black guy so Im gonna name the most obvious artist in the worldWarhol, but its very similar to the way Warhol would appropriate a Campbells Soup can is the way I would sonically appropriate a Ray Charles sample or a Michael Jackson sample."
