Kanye West -- The Life Of Pablo (he'll probably change it several times after it's released too)

not sure if i can believe sir paul has done a whole album with kanye, though id be interested to hear it (only one should never have been released though - i have only heard it once, but it was painful to listen to - it should be heard Only Once, ho ho). i dont know if this is kanye hanging up his villain hat - to me, its half him doing an MJ and trying to please critics/the establishment ('i want in', 'i'm legit', etc), but its also him daring haters/detractors by saying, 'look i can get a beatle! look at me now!' like, it was cool that jay-z worked with jack white (on boring music) and linkin park and whoever else, but kanye went back and got a BEATLE. if elvis was alive, im pretty sure kanye would have his sights set on him too.

4 5 seconds is great.

"woke up an optimist" - such a great verse opening.

we only got 4 5 seconds to save the world!

did Jay-Z and Jack White actually release anything together? i just remember reports they were working together and then JW saying that Jay didn't like it and they probably wouldn't release it

the total lack of percussion on either of these songs is the most interesting thing about them to me in that they so painfully sound like they're missing a rhythm track... can't see "FourFiveSeconds" really doing much unless there's a version with drums.

version of "4 5 seconds" floating around has to be a demo, though, right? a deliberately slight deep cut at most.

Paul McCartney not esp. renowned for his productions skills?

those Wings songs are often nothing BUT production skillz

Maybe the thread title should be changed if every other post is gonna be about Paul producing the album when that announcement has already been corrected

I was thinking that myself but then I remembered how the supposed release date of Yeezus was first denied and then turned out to be accurate, so who the fuck knows. I'll edit it a bit, though.

kanye HAS to realize these songs are unsalable as pop in 2015, right? i was shocked when he was actually crestfallen that yeezus had no real hit singles...but here he has to realize the whole world isn't goign to be singing "four five seconds." right?

My money is on the two formally released songs being "bonus tracks."

sorta interesting that kanye is giving mccartney this huge promo push but daft punk were silent contributors to yeezus

Given there was Daft Punk overload at the time, presumably a way to separate it out from that slipstream?

Daft Punk were in the video for "Stronger" and them being sampled on a rap hit was a semi-big deal in 2007. them being among a bazillion co-producers on an album that dropped right after their own comeback album not really a big deal. definitely not as big a deal as anything involving a Beatle.

i disagree!

i mean mccartney isn't actually doing anything on these songs. if he wasn't in the promo pics and someone was like "yeah mccartney strummed the acoustic guitar on this track" people would be like "oh hmm that's nice"

yeah but Kanye clearly doesn't see it that way, is what i mean

as far as hypebeasting, having Paul on this album is analogous to him calling in favors to get Ludacris on his first album. he's all about whatever feature puts him on another level.

still salty that luda didn't get a verse on that song

There's a fine line between chaos and creation.

one man's flaming pie is another man's kisses on the bottom

one requires penicillin, the other jail time

We have...something? Album title?

Umm, that's for Big Sean.

Paul McCartney's working with everyone these days!

Big Sean Lennon

Calls to John Lennon and George Harrison's offices not returned.

um, image is very "Batman Begins"

Seriously I wish he'd stuck with "Made In Florence"

lolll yea it's so chris nolan-y

fortunately, it's big sean getting stuck with it and not 'ye

Big Sean probably came up with it

I heard "Four Five Seconds" on the radio yesterday between Jeremih and something which felt kinda weird.

Kanye's going to be on <i>Ellen</i> this Thursday.

Whoops, wrong formatting code

Anyway, I hope he's using that appearance to talk about the new Big Sean album

Ellen is a better producer than Kanye

jay pharoah's kanye impression vs kate mckinnon's ellen impression

An SNL hosting gig can't be too far off.

For Paul McCartney or Big Sean?
Or Ellen?

To cement his new friendship, Kanye fired a shit at Yoko.

He's dead to me.

I'd like a NEW WORKOUT PLAN poster with Nolan font and stormy sky.

Seriously tho, a Kanye/Yoko collaboration would be way more interesting than Kanye/Paul.

Is "fired a shit" a typo? Please let that be a typo.

fried ain't much better

Donald Trump cares about rich people.

Killer Mike said in 2006, "George Bush don't care about poor people, black or white," and that was probably closer to the mark than Kanye's famous quote.

think this is some reddit project or something, can't find too much info on it , i quite like it tho
