RHCP without Frusciante? AOTY??

I'd love if the Kendrick J.Cole collab was a full album that'd definitely be on the list.

And Kanye 100% has the grill since he actually had surgery to put them in. They're his "real teeth"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuHE-eefX94

Didn't realize they had a collab. Figured Kendrick would take things slow after that album and all the songs he supposedly has with Kanye.

Also I think Adele will be elligable this year kind of like how Taylor Swifts album came out in 14.

The whole grill thing just seems odd to me. They were very much a product of the 2000's in my mind. Kanye's cuttent image between the shoes and his clothing seems to be very different from the whole grill look. Then again, Kanye didn't really look the grill part to begin with in his polos.

Forgot about that. Then again I've forgotten about everything they've done post Stadium.

If you can, go watch the All Day / I Feel Like That music video that was found yesterday in solid quality. He shows off the teeth a lot (since there are a lot of close up shots to his face) and I think they suit him. It's kind of part of his whole beautiful mess of a person.
 
I thought kanye lost all of his bottom teeth in the car accident, and his old ones were rotting so he just said fuck it and put in a grill
 
I guess we were right!

Dailymail story. For whatever reason it isn't letting me insert the link...

The Love Lockdown hitmaker indulged on the sweet treat as he carried the cup and a large brown bag of food in one hand.
In the other, the Grammy Award-winner clutched onto his laptop as he headed back to his recording studio.

He's gotta be updating the album and whatnot for the final release. Right?

I can't see the article but I don't know how someone would know where he's heading. Dude could be going to his car to watch porn for all we know.

But yea, he must be working on the album. Mother fucker is taking his sweet time, which I guess is good. Is it too much to ask for to send out a damn tweet with an update?
 
Any albums coming out this year that could claim the AOTY title from TLOP?

Run the Jewels 3, Frank Ocean's new album (come on Frank), and possible new Childish Gambino also. Honestly as a Kanye fan, if TLOP is the AOTY 2016 it would mean 2016 was a pretty bad year musically. I am sure it will not even make my top 5 for 2016.
 
Here's what I don't understand in terms of Kanye and his relationship with the fashion world. Whatever Kanye wears everyone seems to jump on his style a couple months later i.e. (polos, stunner shades, leather jogging pants, bomber jackets, etc) So why is it that fashion world hates him when he sets so many trends?

Kanye has set a ton of fashion trends and is very stylish, but that doesn't make him a great designer. Outside of his shoes, his designs aren't all that great. They're also very derivative of Helmut Lang, Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, etc.

It's a weird union of his 2005 Katrina commentary self and his 2015 clothing designer self.


The laptop was because he is preparing to go tweet some more. Don't get your hopes up for the album.
 
I'm sure it was mentioned in OT1, but i just found out that Part 2 is pretty much a remix of Panda by Desiigner. Never heard the original before, but damn... Feels like it takes a little bit away from Part 2 since Kanye just added his own spin on an already awesome song

Which kind of leads me to believe this version is literally just a mix tape.

What if he's actually working on a retail release that includes some of the actual songs that are on the tidal version (Real Friends, Waves, Ultra Light Beam), and cutting the filler like I love kanye, low lights, FSMH pt 1 and 2, freestyle 4,

Kanye West Album Saving Tidal ... Membership Doubles


http://www.tmz.com/2016/02/23/kanye-west-album-tidal-subscriptions/#ixzz411FaEXxU
Kanye West just did Jay Z a HUGE favor -- his new album put Tidal back in the game by giving the music service a huge financial shot in the arm.

Sources connected to Tidal tell TMZ ... "The Life of Pablo" and its debut at MSG has already been streamed more than 100 million times in less than two weeks, which is a record for the service. We're also told subscribers to the app have more than doubled from around 1 million to 2.5 million.

In fact, we're told the album's been so successful his team is discussing plans for another release, which may include a physical copy.

Tidal reps have been tight lipped about numbers, but they've gotta be happy with this: The new subscribers could eventually add up to at least $15 mil in additional revenue.

Not a bad feather in Yeezy's cap.

Honestly, going this route was a success for them than a regular rollout. And the physical and iTunes ain't even out yet.

& I would guess that 2.5 million will drop under 1.5 million once the free month is up.

It'll still be a large boon for them that they wouldn't have nearly gotten if this was released everywhere.

Still, fuck Tidal and give me an option to actually buy this Ye, ffs.

And once everyone cancels the membership will be back to where it started except for the 100 or so people that forget to cancel for a month and then remember to cancel for the next month lol

Push the button so I can fucking cancel Tidal already.

Just listened to it. It's quite literally the same song lol.

I can't get over how similar dude sounds to Future. I find that kinda lame, actually.
