While Ye isn’t around to defend his name, it appeared that famed producer Mike Dean, who’s tight with Ye, wanted to do so for him:
“why do artists who are lacking always make a diss song just before their LP comes out??”
So far, The Life of Pablo is only available to stream on TIDAL. You can’t buy it anywhere, you can’t stream it anywhere else – that’s it. There are rumors that a hard copy is supposed to be released, but while we wait for that confirmation, Ye is already hard at work on another album – due out this summer. Last night, Ye hit the studio with producer Mike Dean, along with Kid Cudi and Plain Pat, for what Ye’s barber Ibn Jasper says was the first Turbo Grafx 16 session. Totally excited for more new Kanye music and all – but am I the only one who would just appreciate a normal release? I get it, I get it – the fanfare, crazy tweets and false promises (hello, G.O.O.D. Fridays – are you there?) lead to more headlines and I suppose ultimately boost Ye’s name and music… But I just want a regular album that I can download on iTunes or buy in the store, and have it not come with a ton of crazy Kanye tweets and antics. Am I asking for too much here?!
Mike Dean just had a live steam on Periscope in the studio saying that he is mastering Kanye’s new album The Life of Pablo! Hit the jump for more.
How can a man that is working on his own project (so soon after his last – Rodeo) be the reason that another artist is taking the extra time to release there’s? I don’t think he is. In video released by watchLOUD, Travi$ Scott, with Mike Dean in the background, reveals that the “new album on the way.” Drop down bottom for more.
Kanye West fans are so tired of waiting for his next album ‘SWISH’ to drop that they have decided to start a petition demanding that the album be released by next Friday (August 21). Clearly the two singles Ye has released this year, “Only One” and “All Day” have not been enough to hold them over. Recently, producer Mike Dean said during an interview that when Kayne is ready to release the album he will however, fans are not willing to wait. Read more below.
