Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Oct-25-19 10:57 AM
My coworker said it was submitted to Spotify at 4AM and it takes about 8 hours for it to upload to all the servers.

So it should be between 12 - 1PM

Yeah right.
13353396, no idea
Posted by mista k5, Fri Oct-25-19 11:04 AM
ive avoided actually clicking on articles about it. just let me know when its out.

if its not out in the next couple of hours i probably wont check for it for a few days at least.

Pablo (which I really, really like) may have ultimately ruined this man's sense of making albums.

He should just open a Soundcloud account.

Everyone who said over the years that this man needs Jesus is eatin' some crow today.

I had hope he was inspired. Can someone dig up some old tweets and get this dude cancelled so I can stop doing this to myself?

(I will add though, if this dude is happy and in a healthy place, then good on him. I just need to accept he ain't gonna make any more music for me)
13353458, you serious? There's plenty reason to cancel if the trash music

I watched all of it. he feels lost to me. this isn't the talk of someone that has it all together. continually talking about the repubs freeing the slaves. feeling like people are prosecuting him for trumpeting trump and now jesus.

hustling backwards mentally. wanting credit for bush not caring about black people, but wondering why folks don't respect what he's saying now.

answering questions like this...

why did you make jesus is king?

cuz jesus is king.

thinking he's more important than he is. thinking he's the smartest person in the room when he's clearly not.

I do appreciate Big Boy letting him talk. that's not what he does on the radio show.

13353521, Is he still showing talent?
Posted by Fire1986, Fri Oct-25-19 07:20 PM
I’m not able to listen to the album yet. His last project didn’t feel thorough and I don’t remember anything on it that compelled me to listen again.

Still, I’m always hopeful for any artist who’s put out high quality work before and I can even stand some “unfinished” work because creativity doesn’t always arrive by the dictates of the market.

His politics are troubling, to say the least, but I don’t expect to gain political insight from any pop star.
13353544, That pretty much sums up how I feel about him

was acting a fool and crazy talking....
it was the total opposite IMO....
Not that I AGREE with him on pretty much anything....but he don't sound crazy anymore....
Just sound like a dude that believes strongly in what he believes in. He has some very valid points...and they're virtually points that align perfectly with the whole "Group Think" buzzword that was being bandied about around these parts just a few years back....

I dunno...
I don't feel strongly about dude one way or the other....but folks really cising things up surrounding this album release....
I WILL say it's better than whatever that stuff the rapper formerly known as Malice was putting out after he went all religious...
And at least he's still trying to put out music at all....
Most rappers that went all religious just fell completely off the scene....

I could never listen to the album again and be fine, but after the Big Boy interview I feel like this is the first time I've understood him in years. Like you said, I don't agree with everything that he said, but I understand it. I moved from a place of disdain towards him (admittedly without having proper context) to indifference

13353598, I hate okp lol and Kanye too. Because this is so beautiful.
Posted by kfine, Sun Oct-27-19 05:13 PM
Hating okp because I read through this post and it set my expectations super low, which then set me up for the inevitable:

I am moved by Kanye's spiritual awakening and this is the best quality, most coherent, music he's put out in years.

Like, I have to fight to keep anger towards him in my heart right now. I wish this was the Kanye we got after Yeezus (which I actually liked.. his most unlistenable music to me was his last album, but according to him in that Big Boy interview that was his rock bottom mentally/emotionally, so)

I "never" thought I would come back around on Kanye. And I'm not even sure I fully have. But my own spiritual orientation resonates with the message he's spreading through this music and interviews/appearances since its release... and my natural response is empathy, forgiveness, and joy. I can't help it guys lol 🖤

Either he is going through something truly powerful right now, or he is the sneakiest troll ever who I will hate again shortly after some other unconscionable stunt. I really hope this is all for real tho.

11 tracks, imagine if he put drums on 9 of them. keep everything the same but just add some drums nigga.

its not a hip hop album, i get that. this nigga could have put everybody back to sleep and under his spell if this shit slapped.

He got some sounds on there, but without even one drum or an 808 or something, this nigga swung and missed terribly.

When the drums come in on Use this Gospel along with the run this town sound effect, and then cut out 10 seconds later. I had the Arthur fist clench ready to punch a nigga.

So yeah, fuck him and this bullshit ass album.

13353701, First Kanye album I actually don't like
Posted by double negative, Mon Oct-28-19 02:06 PM
I'm a fan of his music, full stop, including Ye which I enjoyed but really found it to be a deeply uncomfortable/dark album to listen to - it was like a critically acclaimed yet very unsettling movie you that shakes you to your core that you would never want to see again.

with current Kanye albums I approach the album from the top and play each track in 30 second chunks where I jump around the track to get a sense of the music.

I scanned each track, heard nothing that resonated with me and largely forgot about it.

Honestly, I think it's too much work to get into his headspace to appreciate the art and its not an investment I want to make right now, maybe in a few weeks or down the road. Right now I prefer music that hits me immediately. I'm not afraid of working for an album but not for this current version of Kanye.
13353703, I barely remember any names of his songs anymore.

13395032, i was curious enough with JIK

im over it now

he dropped something after JIK right? or thats still being worked on?

musically kanye is drake level to me now. only reason to listen is to not be out of the loop. no real expectations to enjoy it.

all the noise hes making makes me not want to be in the loop.
13395040, The last 2 songs I heard sounded much better than JIK

so I will listen at least once like a sucker to see if he can get that old thing back..

I’m always mad at myself after I listen but I have to hear it to trash it or praise it if that makes sense.





13395017, His music is painfully boring these days

I have less than zero interest in a new album.
13395044, I still bang JIK on the regular
