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

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

I don't need no "Hey Jude" for this shit.

No idea how that's escaped Up-the-Arse Corner up till now. (xp)

jay was the one with the shitty yoko lyric

i still can't be fucked to listen to this single

kanye's beatles-and-grammys way of thinking about artistic greatness is so boring and sort of shows him up as the opposite of a revolutionary; he cares so deeply about bullshit conservative institutions

First he tried to piss off his rap dude fan base with Yeezus. Now he's trying to piss off ilx.

Ye Jude

Kanye's just trying to make us unlike him.

"now"

otm

Ilx "should" be pissed off at him since Yeezuz, imo.

This single is better than the last one by a good ways, but it sort of breeze by without leaving a mark. Which means it will probably be wildly popular.

Praying this is not the shape the album will take but some "lol Beatles hijinx outliers" for a bonus disc or something.

fwiw I've heard "Four Five Seconds" twice and have it stuck in my head.

it's an instantly memorable chorus!

it's just a good song

you don't got the answers lex

will the world never be safe from dreadful conservative institutions like paul mccartney

don't think 'paul mccartney' was the conservative institution lex was referring to

don't know if paul mccartney is really adding nearly as much musically as he is adding to the 'branding' package etc

it is interesting that Paul has a feature credit is in the photo accompanying the release of "FourFiveSeconds" but it's apparently the Dirty Projectors guy playing the guitar that is so much more prominent than any of the things Paul is playing

I don't see McCartney's move as cynical; I'm sure he'd pass a lie detector test when confessing he genuinely sought a challenge working with Kanye, but so far the results sound like Kanye could have sought the musical counsel of Duncan Sheik and no one would have noticed the difference.

From a PR standpoint though the collaboration looks like Rolling Stone cover story manna.

Plus: I genuinely don't know the answer, but are McCartney fans -- whoever or whatever they are -- going to buy a Kanye album? It's more likely Kanye fans own Beatles and Wings reissue albums/mp3s.

Lol at the idea that Kanye fans own Wings records en masse.

the ones who read Pitchfork do!

all you gotta do is ask on this very board

I am a Kanye fan who reads Pitchfork and I do not own any Wings records. I can't recall ever seeing anyone my age or younger ever talk about Wings records. Your experience may vary.

yeah i think it's more likely that a boomer Beatles fan saw the 5 star review of MBDTF in Rolling Stone and gave it a spin than that your average Kanye To The forum poster owns Band On The Run

all I meant was that Pitchfork reviews those damn Wings/Paul reissues, and sure as hell there's audience overlap with Kanye's white fans.

xpost

but I'm edging into nobody-I-know-voted-for-Nixon territory

I'd say your average Pitchfork reader is more likely to own RAM than a Wings album.

oh def

Ram is the GOAT rock album, MBDTF is the GOAT hip-hop album, why the need to argue?

no need to argue sounds like a GOAT recorded it

this song's a weaksauce version of "burnin' up" by the jonas brothers

wow i finally heard this and it's not just boring it's total horseshit

Ram is an amazing album. I own Wings and Kanye albums. They're alright I guess.
