He isn't, he is venting, he needs a nap. How the hell you gonna be 53 mil in the red, but yet your album isn't for sell.

Smh.....this is why I can't **** with dude lately..
You know he part owns Tidal right? He'd be stupid not to make it a Tidal exclusive.

I could be wrong because I don't have a lot of streaming experience, but would his album alone be enough to drive people to Tidal though. I dig if he released across all platforms and put exclusive tracks in Tidal, like the original Wolves that everyone wants, but to keep the album solely Tidal, I just don't know.

All I know is I'm not trying to be subscribed to three different music streaming services just because of exclusive albums. #budgeting

Somewhat how I felt. Honestly I didn't have any problems with the lyrics. The production was just very underwhelming. I remember listening to it, waiting for songs to really catch my ear. Had I not bought the deluxe edition, it would've never happened. Those songs sound dope in the club, but when I put my headphones on to really listen to it, it was a step above a coaster.
That would be hilarious

Nothing wrong with supporting an artist-owned streaming service you yourself are invested in, but I don't get the resistance to a physical release.
Also, not getting his logic on the "white" publications comment. I get that he's had to fight to get where he is but I am not sure that makes him immune to criticism; nor do I think you have to be descended from slaves to have a valid opinion on his songs. I'd like to hear him explain that one in a way that makes sense.

It has to, as brilliant a capitalist as Kanye is, he has to understand that.

Its suck for those who paid 10 extra for that kanye NYC hoping to get an album and get all this nonsense. I'm not jumping on tidal, I like my apple music I can wait to hear his music a little longer?

In this day an age? That album might leak or he'll come to his senses and drop the CD. Well Atleast I'm hoping! Lol

First Kanye album that probably won't sonically change the landscape of hip hop / pop music. Every one of his previous albums had a huge impact on the sound and content of music, this one isn't really breaking any new ground. It's a good album, but I think we can all say he peaked with MBDTF, w/ Yeezus being a radical sound that was polarizing. This is the first time I've not been blown away by a Kanye album.

So hard getting past 01 Ultralight Beam without replaying, like the whole album heavy, can't wait to hear whatever else he cooking up.

Agree, giving Kanye way to much credit for that garbage album
I don't have Tidal so it looks like the only way I'm listening to this album is through other means.

Really?
And the people complaining about paying for the album, again you realize he part owns Tidal and that when it officially released you'll get emailed a digital download link just like wih Rihanna and Beyonce's recent releases. Did you read the instructions or...
You know what let me sign off. It's late.

I wouldn't say brilliant marketing. Id say the tidal release was more like a test group kinda thing. He knows what the fans like snd don't like by now. It's up to him if he uses the right tracks
