According to his twitter, Kanye is dropping a 7 track album on the 1st of June.

And another album with Kid Cudi on 8th June he just tweeted??

Posted by: danG 19th April 2018, 07:40 PM

oh yes, about time we had some new Kanye. only 7 tracks though that barely counts as an album, Kanye

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 19th April 2018, 07:54 PM

Wait, what? Omg, I am looking forward to this!

Posted by: Cremey 19th April 2018, 08:13 PM

SO READY. All-time favourite artist 😍
Can’t wait for a Kid Cudi collaborative album as well 🤤🤤🤤

🚨🚨🚨 YEEZY SEASON APPROACHING 🚨🚨🚨

Posted by: Steve201 19th April 2018, 10:22 PM

Better be on mainstream streaming services so I can enjoy this time round!

The Life Of Pablo was on Spotify

Posted by: mdh 19th April 2018, 10:59 PM

...6 weeks after its initial release.

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 20th April 2018, 12:31 AM

Yeah but it could still be enjoyed not long after its release, unlike Adele or Beyonce - Lemonade, or Jay-Z who took most of his music off

Posted by: HausofTroye 20th April 2018, 06:40 AM

Here for this... and just absolutely UGLY CRYING at the thought of Cudi West album 😭😭😭😭

Posted by: danG 26th April 2018, 09:56 AM

It's not Kanye season without a controversy leading up to the album dropping A load of people have unfollowed his twitter after he tweeted about how 'great' Donald Trump is, oops.

Posted by: Botchia 28th April 2018, 12:01 PM

All publicity is good publicity I guess?!

Posted by: mdh 28th April 2018, 12:10 PM

PS: the rumours that say he's lost over 10 million Twitter followers are totally false, he hasn't even lost a tenth of that ;o

Posted by: Midge 28th April 2018, 12:32 PM

I was wondering when this was due earlier this week! Intrigued for the singles; I’m not very good at stomaching an entire rap album.

Posted by: Bré 29th April 2018, 05:26 PM

No idea if they'll be on the album (I would assume not) but there are two new songs that can be streamed on http://www.kanyewest.com/.

I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone listening to that first song but it is... interesting

Posted by: HausofTroye 29th April 2018, 05:28 PM

Iconic.

Posted by: Midge 29th April 2018, 05:43 PM

I'm liking "Lift Yourself" actually! I like experimental Kanye
...okay until I got to the 'poop di scoop' bit WHAT THE HELL

"Ye vs. The People" sounds like Kanye and T.I.'s answer to "Guilty Conscience" but with serious undertones...

Posted by: Bré 29th April 2018, 05:47 PM

The instrumental / sample for 'Lift Yourself' is really good, some classic Kanye stuff ~ kind of a shame it didn't actually get used for a real song

Posted by: HausofTroye 29th April 2018, 05:56 PM

What's not real about poopity scoop?

Posted by: Dircadirca 29th April 2018, 06:06 PM

Depressing to think I lived for 25 years in a world without "Lift Yourself".

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 1st May 2018, 01:39 PM

Those Kanye tracks are really not good, such a shame as I was looking forward to this album.

Posted by: Dexton 1st May 2018, 05:03 PM

Poopy-di scoop
Scoop-diddy-whoop
Whoop-di-scoop-di-poop

Abum supposedly titled WYOMING rather than LOVE EVERYONE as previously thought.
Who knows with Kanye tho. Either way, the listening party is happening right now in Wyoming so it should actually be coming tonight/tomorrow as planned yessss

monster about to come alive again

Posted by: Bré 31st May 2018, 11:38 PM

I have seen a rumour that he does have a version of 'Lift Yourself' with proper lyrics on the album which I really hope is true!! (Also please let 'Ye Vs. The People' be left off x)

Posted by: Cremey 1st June 2018, 07:14 AM

Ok so that was also wrong and it’s actually called YE.
I’ve heard a few clips but just want it to be properly released NOW.
And apparently he shot the album artwork on his phone on the way to the listening party... 🤡

Posted by: blacksquare 1st June 2018, 12:36 PM

It's out on Spotify now

Posted by: Dircadirca 1st June 2018, 01:01 PM

"Ghost Town" is great.

Posted by: HausofTroye 1st June 2018, 03:31 PM

Listened to this twice now. I am so so so glad it's nowhere near as wacky or zany as the songs we heard recently are. It's actually a very profound, thought-provoking collection of songs. Very short, but he says so much throughout it. An artist very clearly suffering so many mixed thoughts right now, so I commend him for eventually releasing something like this.

I don't think it comes close to comparing to any album of his in the past, but it marks his state of mind right now and so for that I can take it.

Posted by: Botchia 1st June 2018, 05:45 PM

This is lyrically great, sonically less so. The highlights are definitely Ghost Town and Violent Crimes for me. It's just way too short though!

Posted by: SKOB 1st June 2018, 07:30 PM

What's with this 7 track trend...

People are not going to listen to them in full any way and it doesn't help collecting streams for chart purposes

Omg & true.

Posted by: ebae 3rd June 2018, 01:58 AM

I'm listening now, Just listened to track one. I am glad he started rapping as I was worried for a moment the whole track would just be spoken word repeating those phrases

Yikes is sounding really good

The more I hear "Yikes" the more I like it. Kanye is probably my favourite serious rapper to be fair. Made a playlist of the best of his singles discography over the weekend and had forgotten just how many incredible tracks he's been involved on. He's nigh on 1,000 plays for me according to last.fm and I can see why!

Posted by: Conderella 5th June 2018, 10:39 AM

that production on All Mine. Holy f***

I thought about killing you OH MY GOD that second half especially. perfection. the lyrics too

Posted by: Cremey 6th June 2018, 02:28 PM

Initially thought this was miles behind anything else he’s done, but I’ve been listening to it pretty much non-stop this week and the more I listen, the more I love it so 🤷🏼‍♂️

His discography is so strong so it’s impossible to rank it against other albums at this point, but I’m glad it wasn’t the huge disappointment I thought it might be. Just wish it was longer :’(

Roll on Kids See Ghosts 👻

Posted by: danG 11th June 2018, 10:22 PM

'Yikes' becomes a top 10 hit in both the UK and US! poor 'All Mine' stalling at #11 in both countries tho.

UK
10. Yikes
11. All Mine
17. Ghost Town
(other tracks starred out but would all have been top 30 according to sales report)

US
08. Yikes
11. All Mine
16. Ghost Town
24. Wouldn't Leave
27. Violent Crimes
28. I Thought About Killing You
36. No Mistakes

Posted by: Tombo 12th June 2018, 07:32 AM

I'm happy about that, Yikes was my favourite track

Posted by: HausofTove 12th June 2018, 08:18 PM

Fully getting and loving this album now. Ghost Town, Violent Crimes, Yikes, Wouldn't Leave... so many high moments.

The lyrics are so painfully honest.

Posted by: HausofTove 2nd July 2018, 06:14 PM

Loving this more and more with every listen. It'll probably rise above Pablo to avoid being his weakest album in time tbh.
