I was let down by that Big Ghosy review. His writing style seems to have changed. He wasn't in character the whole review. His Drake reviews are where the money's at.

I compiled the list of leaks of Kanye's new track "Saint Paul"

Kanye then went on the greatest Twitter rant in history and everything was 100% accurate

Then he announced a new album for Summer of 2016

And there's also the Wreck it Ralph Lauren tweet

And I called it to trade an L for a W

His Take Care review is a classic.

And yeah this one has some funny lines (Cons,Cyhi,Desiigna), but overall I agree.
 
get me up to speed

Hour 0: The Life and Death of Bob Ezrin

Bob Ezrin, a somebody but really a nobody, say this:
"Unlike other creators in his genre like Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie or even M.C. Hammer for that matter, it’s unlikely that we’ll be quoting too many of Kanye’s songs 20 years from now,” Ezrin writes in the newsletter, which has tens of thousands of subscribers. "He didn’t open up new avenues of public discourse like NWA, or introduce the world to a new art form like Grandmaster Flash, or even meaningfully and memorably address social issues through his music like Marshall, Macklemore and Kendrick.”

Ye's Response:
Has anybody ever heard of Bob Ezrin???
What the fuck does he know about rap…
I’m tired of old people that have no connection with anything trying to comment on music!
Do something relevant… Please don’t speak on me bro ever again!!!
Your kids are ashamed of their dad… Sorry for speaking about kids… but could you imagine if you were Bob Ezrin’s kids…
I’m so sorry for them… I will send them free Yeezys to make up for the embarrassment that you have caused your family!

Bro you said Macklemore was more important musically than me… no offense to Macklemore, he’s a nice human being!

Bob please never speak in public again… you are everything that is wrong with the old guard …
it’s guys like you that run companies and don’t invest in Ye even if I’m your kid’s idol!!!

Rock and Roll was stolen… Rap was exploited…

I made Dark Fantasy and Watch the Throne in one year and wasn’t nominated for either and you know who has 2 albums of the year.
(note the shade)
Welcome to pop culture!!!
Ezrin I truly feel sorry for your friends and family that they have had to suffer an idiot like you for so many years…
God bless the fools … all positive vibes!

At Yo Gotti's album release party Ye' drops new fire

First a rant for you:
Rant about T. Swift, Amber Rose, and others...

He later apologizes for the use of the B word:
I really didn’t mean to use the B word tonight … all positive vibes

Now the flame:
Saint Pablo (Closest Thing To Einstein)

Later that day: The Grammy's are Shammy

Let the twitter speak:
I would like to sit down with Neil Portnow right now
I think the Grammys are super important!!!
I know so many cool artists whose hearts have been broken by the politics including mine.
We need to fix this.
I don't give opinions because they are commonly agreed upon. I say what I feel.
I feel the Grammy awarding system is way off and completely out of touch.
Hi Grammys this is the most important living artist talking.
qD6Jg6g.png

If I'm not at the show next year then there is no show.
I don't want to just fix the awards for me but I want to fix it for Dexter Navy who directed A$AP Rocky’s LSD video.
Everybody with any form of taste knows that was the best video of the year!
Dexter didn't feel he even had a chance of winning and he was right!!!
You guys are supposed to be all about taste.
You like your black people a certain way also. You wouldn't have Future perform and that man owned the clubs last summer.
Has anyone at the Grammys ever heard March Madness??? Yes I have a problem with the Grammys.
All artists have a problem with it and I am going to fix it for us all starting right now.
Neil please reach out as soon as possible so we can make the Grammys culturally relevant again.
Us real music guys wanna have fun too
and always remember that rock and roll was stolen and don't try to hide behind Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis ������ all positive vibes.
First order of business. We the people need to see Future at the Grammys.
We need to see Young Thug at the Grammys. Not just me and Jay in a suit.
People ask why I speak in a public forum... Well my voice is my power. Freedom of speech. Freedom of opinion. Freedom of dreams.
I'm not crazy I'm free.
No slave mindset no more. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free.
I wrote Saint Pablo after admitting to my greatest shame my personal debt. But I'm not ashamed anymore.
("Note the time!" - Dave Chappelle)
I'm proud as an entrepreneur that I gave everything I had to my dreams.
I'm happy and free and proud and confident. I'm not crazy. I'm free
Free from being held back by public opinion.
It's a beautiful time. I love my friends. I love my family. I love people. The human race.
You guys will see my heart. You guys will feel my heart. We will make a difference.
I just had to start with shoes so that I could be economically empowered enough to have a voice.
What is your definition of true freedom? There is no true freedom without economic freedom.
Respect to everyone working hard to keep a roof over their kids
That is one of the reasons I respect the paps so much.
And yes I've talked to Adidas and we gon hook y'all up with free Yeezys and Adidas. All positive vibes.
I'm not even gon lie to you. I love me so much right now.

We interrupt this program to bring you this important message:
New album coming this summer

I represent what people can't say.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming:
I love being a voice of freedom when so many people are scared to speak up.
The world needs a guy like me. The world needs somebody to not be scared and tell his truth.
You won't always agree with me but I'm gon always be me. I'm woke!
Ovations...

So many W's i don't even remember what an L feels like

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Holy Shit...that post ....just wow.

the iamlordvoldemort ...shit i didnt realize that.
 
I hope there's no Watch the Throne 2, can't stand Jay-Z's bored raps.
A Frank Ocean&Ye album would be awesome

If there is a WTT2 I hope its a collab album with Kanye and whoever he thinks is top of the rap game right now. Jay should NOT be on it. Imagine an album with Kanye exclusively working with Chance, Future, Thug, Kendrick, Drake, J Cole. Would be fantastic imo

Great idea! Might actually come true, hopefully!
I really hope TLOP wasn't the last we heard of Kanye this year

No Drake, but yeah
 
All those people that signed their names on the page he kept tweeting couldn't have just been in there briefly to help. There's gotta be a ton of music he made with those people that I hope will be on the summer album.

Notables for me are Earl, CyHi the Prince, Cudi, Chance, Fonzworth Bentley.
 
How is Kanye just gonna release dope shit and already have me hungry again for new shit this summer? I hope I don't die before I hear Saint Pablo the right way.

How is he busting out with all these new tracks? I'm starting to think that the real release of TLOP might very well be a double CD joint.
