In the aftermath of the rollout to his The Life Of Pablo album, which reportedly is still a work in progress, Kanye West says he will no longer be releasing his music on an industry standard.
“I was thinking about not making CDs ever again… Only streaming,”the Chicago rapper-producer writes on Twitter today (March 7). “the Yeezus album packaging was an open casket to CDs r.i.p,”
The CD version of Yeezus, Kanye West’s 2013 album, came without artwork, only a red sticker on the edge of the CD case.
“uuuuuuum, so there it is… No more CDs from me,”Kanye West writes.
West’s statements run counter to the reports last month that The Life of Pablo will be sold in deluxe physical edition.
Kanye West then turns his comments from his music to his personality.
“question… Why do people not want me to be me?”he writes. “I want people to be the best version of themselves and I will be the best version of me. Growing and learning but not being told to stop …not being stunted. please avoid trying to talk me out of being me in the future.”

He hasn’t dropped anything worth a shit in several yes, since he married that slore, good riddance.
Bc you mfs can’t move units! You have to disguise your sales as “streams” and “bought by Samsung” then certified platinum. Frauds. Look at Adele moving a MILLION CD Units within a week. FOH. #GetYoTalentUp
^^^Basically this….
No one expects anyone to do Adele numbers but if Kanye is as popular as he claims he is, he should be at least clearing a few hundred thousand units. I use streaming services but most of money music money is spent on actually buying albums/singles.
You dont know shit kanye has low album sales & he is the Devil I saw him one day at his house & he took off his human costume & he was all red with horns & he set his bed on fire his son is the antichrist
Kanye not moving units???? LOL, im not a fan, I haven’t heard anything he has made since MBDTF, with that being said, he moves units, he is a pop star now, he is not a rapper, he in a whole other tax bracket, shit everyday people think about, he GOT people to think about that for him…..FOH with the trolling
That bitch nigga kanye dont move no units & kanye is a idiot if I see kanye I will whip out my D**K & piss on him
Not everyone has access to streaming in a car. there are a lot of cars still spinning CD’s – He is Shrinking his market to people that have new cars and only listen to music Via streaming
Fuck kanye I hope the Kardashians go to Hell if I see kanye I will shoot him
Lmao!
I hope they get ur ip for that and u get arrested. Moron
I will shoot you too
great news
Bitch nigga I will find you & Fuck you in the ass & kanye is the Devil
what about the 4,000,000,000 niggas in the world that don’t have internet?
what about the people that can’t sign up for gay-ass tidal because it ain’t available in their country or they don’t have credit cards?
I’ve been done with the guy for a while, not because he doesn’t still make great music (he does!) but because he’s an elitist cunt who’s using the one thing he can do that people care about (his music) to advance his other awful bullshit ($400 sweatpants & TIDAL). eh, no thanks.
-Nigga on an imac
streaming is garbage….physical all the way..fuck tidal..
You realize that all the new car models don’t have a a CD player anymore? Go ahead and keep CDs only have to wait till you get home to play it
Shut the Fuck up cars still have cd players so you & kanye can lick my balls
lol…so rip the cd into a format your car can handle…its not rocket science. kids these days…..
Yall niggas dumb…like Kanye can’t move units? As if he’s not gone platinum on every single album he’s ever released? Come on guys let’s not pretend be that stupid for the net. Just think…for one it costs money to produce and ship them, money that goes to distributors owned by these labels who constantly fuck artists over. If you can’t read between the lines, artists will do this from now on to take that power away from the major big whigs who have say so over their art/brand. It’s why i support companies like tidal (not financially until they lower prices to spotify levels) because they’re bucking the establishment. Old white men been running rap for far too long, but yall clown the artists, mainly the black ones who try to break away from that. That’s why niggas won’t ever have shit. Cuz of niggas
Tha bitch nigga cant move no units stop sucking kanye nuts I’m going to piss on kanye mom grave then I’m going to find kanye & spit on him than lit him fire
nanas?
Talkin like u crazy. i Bet u softer than baby shit in real life
We black folk are the biggest haters to each other…point blank.
this nigga kanye just scared to flop…he know damn well that T.L.O.P album wasnt gonna sell shit like his previous albums…Yeezus was considered a flop with over 300,000 first week and i know for a fact this album wouldnt have ven sold half dat amount lol. Nobody fuck wit kanye no more that nigga wierd as hell we got niggas like kendrick lamar, j cole, big sean, wale we dont need mr west anymore…
…………and u a bitch nigga ( camron voice )
Exactly! They created the term “hating” and they wear it so well!
Talkin like u crazy. i Bet u softer than baby shit in real life
I want to have sex with kanye
Got SO excited when I read the headline but then quickly realized that it didn’t mean that he was retiring dammit lmfao
No more money for you
Musicians make most of their money off tours and live performances. This isnt the 1980s fk off.
Put the mic down kanye! All your doing at this point is tarnishing your legacy! Just stick to the shoes and coke!
lmfao “Comment of the Week” so true
Wonder if it’s going to drop on vinyl?
If Kanye says CDs are over, then damnit! CDS ARE OVER!!!
Fuck you bitch nigga CD will never be over & kanye west is the Devil I was over his hose & he took of his costume & he was all red with horns & he lit his bed on fire & his son is the antichrist
Crap is streamed. Dope is bought. No wonder radio sucks.
At least dont put your music on shitty bitch ass Tidal
Just drop it on vinyl at least dickhead. I hate that I love kanyes music because he’s the biggest fu$@&tard in the world
Please baby no more CDs from fake ones
N4gger
Kanye’s ego has overshadowed his music and he is easily one of the most unlikable people in pop music (that’s right, I said pop music). His last two albums were incoherent garbage and the only reason they got a positive critical reception is because it was his name attached to those projects. Kanye is a bigger diva than his Ray J sucking, reality TV wife… That’s why nobody wants to be him. He is a spoiled brat and a thoroughly unlikable prick. And ditching CDs for streaming is yet more egotistical bullshit. You think people will be willing to pay a monthly fee to rent your awful music rather than just outright buy it? Enjoy having your shit pirated into the ground, “genius”.
Thank you couldn’t have said it better myself….
