Kanye West announced the title for his next album today (February 26) on Twitter.
“My next album is titled ‘Turbo Grafx 16’ as of now…” West writes on his account.
He explains the inspiration comes from the video games he’d play as a child. Turbo Grafx 16 was a video game console developed by NEC that rivaled platforms by Sega and Nintendo in the 1990s.
“just on some super nerd vibes… one of my favorite gaming systems when I was a kid…” he continues. “Blazing Lazers was probably my favorite game on that console. My boy Mali that I spoke about on the song Drive Slow actually had a Neo Geo in real life bro…We actually played Spy Hunter at my mom’s house!!!”
West announced that he was releasing an album this summer during an explanation of his view of the Grammys.
Turbo Grafx 16 will be the follow-up to The Life of Pablo. West’s cousin and collaborator, Tony Williams, said that some of the songs for The Life of Pablo were withheld so that they could be on this next project.

That tweet was probably his stupid wife seeking more attention. Bet there’s no album he’s just off his meds. Think he’s developing alzheimers
Every time he drops an album title I always hope he’s going to make the “Good Ass Job” album he announced back in 04 or 05. He was going to call Dark Fantasy that, but changed his mind after hearing how the album sounded. I think now would be a good time for a sequel to Graduation. There isn’t much soulful music being made anymore. I’m not impressed
Real talk fam. Everything changed when his mom died. I don’t think he can bring him self up to work on or even finish Good Ass Job.
maybe shes been ghostwriting for him
Guys always been a fuckin loser
TLOP wasn’t a bad album just a bad album title
terrible title but so was swish and waves. he will probably change it 12 times before summer.
i guess he tryna bounce back after this flop
Bonk’s Adventure BITCH!
Lol didnt know if anyone remembered the rock headed lil homie
Man you got alot of free time on your hands
Then he’s gonna change it to Atari 2600, then Super Nintendo, then Sega Dreamcast.
Dreamcast was super underrated
album names’ prediction shit:
Turbo Grafx 16.
A.S.16 (All Summer Sixteen). explanation = I sampled ‘drake’s work
HOEWiFE. explanation = that’s endearment
HOTWIFE. explanation = she just said it’s cool
JWACP (Jesus was a console player). explanation = I have faith in him
Sounds like the name of a graphics card or some shit.
I’m glad we won’t have to wait forever for some more tracks from Kanye. TLOP is pretty great, for the most part.
He’s still making revisions to this one he just released lol he needs to stop playing in the snow and slow down and craft some shit to perfection first.
FLOP is trash…no need for a follow up
finally kanye on some normal rants i cant lie im so sick of the race baiting, always bitching about something kanye. i feel like if he was more like this people would appreciate him and his art more. but the more he bitchs the more ppl dont want anything to do with him
@itsdareal I always have plenty of free time after I’m done fucking your bitch. She always goes back to you. That’s when I took the opportunity to post this.
This guy is a fucken moron.
Kanye has the best yes men in the industry.
“We actually played Spy Hunter at my mom’s house !!!” WHO GIVES A FUKKKK YOU GOON??? hahaha so did about 1.2 million other kids…holy shit man get outta here….

what a fuckin hipster Kanye is. we’ve already had enough garbage with Pablo, just stop or at least take a break.
Man fuck you
Why the hell is Ray J featured 7 times? LMAO
@WTF Ray J is featured on the album so much because he fucked Kim K and Kim K loved his penis so much. Kangay West approves of Ray J’s penis.
The sun don’t shine in the shade……..
This clown is on some *losing his mind* vibes.
Will this be a real album or another collage of sounds?! I swear every time we got a good beat on Pablo, he switched it up to some other bs. And stop repeating bars like u mike jones nigga!!
