so i decided to listen to Yeezy's VH1 Storytellers episode again...do you remember how it starts?

"So many people get caught up in trying to re-make their first album and it's impossible for me to make another College Dropout but I can make the best Graduation and best 808s that I can make and that's how I think you keep on advancing as an artist. So few hip hop artists have ever advanced. Their songs on their 7th, 8th albums sound exactly like the songs on their first album. More than the artist, I'm a real person and real people grow. I want to sing my growth." - Kanye West from VH1 Storytellers

I've listened to that shit so many times I almost memorized those lines. And I mean all of them.

Touch The Sky is the best bit of that entire performance. So good.

 

[Fry]

'I am so disappointed. that I cannot see me perform, expect when I'm on playback.

'My greatest pain in life is that I'll never be able to see me perform. So you are welcome to know a pleasure that I'll never have.'

 

[DominoKid]

yeah i forgot how fucking funny he is on this album. i know they said the actual performance lasted like 3 hours and they cut it down to 90 for the tv show.

I bought the DVD, arriving this week. I read it has three other songs they didn't show on tv.

A burial produced kanye west track....jesus fuck.

Please tell me this is real.

What. Did they release his performances as an album?

edit: omg there is. why did i not know this. must buy dvd

 

[Fry]

must buy dvd

Do it!

 

[Servbot24]

Go home, Zomby.

Also Kanye and Burial working together is a terrible idea. No way in hell that would go well.

 

[big ander]

yeah like I love kanye and like burial, but I can't see that working in the slightest.
also I just assumed it was a joke from the beginning it's fucking zomby he's a goblin

HYPE


Now just reveal the guest features

 

[Ragus]

Why must this cover be so goddamn ugly. Now I fear it may be more like WTT and Cruel Summer, because of that fucking cover.

On the other hand, New Slaves sound nice.

 

[Gattsu25]

This needs to happen.

MUST

 

[CrashBandicoot]

Really liking black skinhead, but it just seems like new slaves could do with a better hook.

Dat leader and follower bridge though.

 

[Sai-kun]

I hope New Slaves has more kick to it on the studio version. I really really like it, but it's missing the body-quaking bass IMO.

 

[billy beane]

I hope we get a single before the album release. I'll take either Black Skinheads or New Slaves.

Not working in my iTunes. Can you post up a screenshot or something? I'd love to see the tracklist.

And people are talking about studio versions of Black Skineheads and New Slaves... any movement on that front. Scanned the pages of this thread and came up empty.

There's no names on any of the song. Everyone has a length of 3:02 with the last one being 3:01. Just place holder stuff.

I want the other one. The one debut by Hudson Mohawke.

I am really excited about this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Axvsgqh19PE#t=54s

 

[Swag]

Still not possible to buy the new tracks?

i think its been taken down already and there was no track names, just track lengths which were apparently all 3:01 except the last track being 3:02 which is a bible reference.

Still not possible to buy the new tracks?

yep, the song's haven't been released yet besides the live captures of the buildings and the snl performane.

 

[Red_Man]

Aw yiss. Motha fuckin Kanye West. So pumped, put into my veins. He was amazing on the WTT tour.

 

[SeroTyler]

According to the always on the point KanyeToThe forums, Peter Rosenberg said there won't be any singles.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Apparently Peter Rosenberg said there won't be any singles.

Yeezy is too future for singles.

 

[EloquentM]

Why there's red tape on the album cover

cut through red tape
Fig. to eliminate or neutralize something complicated, such as bureaucratic rules and procedures. I will try to cut through all the red tape for you so you get your visa on time. I am sure someone can help us cut through all this red tape.

Daft Punk produced Black Skinhead

Figured such when Daft mentioned he came to their studio and yelled for the majority of the time.

 

[Ashhong]

Yeezy is the fucking man. It's seriously going to be called Yeezus? IN MY VEINS NOW PLEASE

whoa, do mine please? <3

 

[Kusagari]

Seems like Ye really doesn't give a fuck about trying to make this album palatable for the masses.

Just getting me more hyped.

 

[Dartastic]

I can't stop listening to Black Skinhead. Fuuuuck it's so gooood

 

[EloquentM]

Edit: Beaten.

New Kanye projections tonight.

Kanyewest.com

Ahhhh shieeeet

 

[LightOfTruth]

Fuck yeah

Edit: Thinking about heading over to Baltimore.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I'd go if one of these were in Seattle.

Rev up the hype train again.

Seattle might be next friday

 

[cdyhybrid]

Seattle might be next friday

I am praying to Yeezus that you're right.

 

[EloquentM]

Lol!

 

[cacophony]

 

[Sai-kun]

No STOP I CANT

 

[EloquentM]

Fucking amazing

 

[enzo_gt]

Red tape on the retail PLEASE.

Would've been cool if it was the same grip tape though.

People on KTT saying it will be holographic like the IANAHBII cover, would explain the different faces.

 

[TOP SHOTTA]

It's hard to follow this with the 2-3 threads going on where people are providing updates.

So did he preview a new song last night?
Not seeing the Vines and YouTube from last time. So....

Any new news?

 

[GrayGrey]

Still waiting on a CDQ for New Slaves.

Hey, are we ever gonna get the legit Mama's Boyfriend?

Same day we get Livin' So Italian.

 

[GrayGrey]

Spoiler

That's a clever way of saying never. Curse you Ye' (and Andrea Bocelli)!!!

 

[enzo_gt]

Since we'll likely see more information pouring out in the near future including potential leaks if Kanye isn't using his patented anti-leak tech, I threw up the OT early to focus discussion:

[Dereck]

I still don't understand the cover, not the cover itself, but the material. Is that a booklet, a transparent sticker?
