Kanye West’s new album Ye is available for the world to hear, at least for those on the WAV app. The much-anticipated LP arrives a week after Pusha T’s Yeezy-produced DAYTONA and marks the second release in a string of new projects that West announced in April.
The latest work from the G.O.O.D. Music founder has arrived with few details revealed prior to its release. West has been noticeably quiet in the weeks since his public support for Donald Trump and controversial statements about slavery dominated headlines.
Chris Rock provided an introduction for the listening party, which was held in Wyoming. Attendees included Nas, Desiigner, Big Sean, Dame Dash, 2 Chainz and West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, as well as hundreds of other journalists, celebrities and “cultural influencers.”
As of publishing, the official stream, cover art and tracklist haven’t dropped yet.
I only support the black owned streaming service #tidal. No tidal no bueno.
The dishonest one founded by a snake?
What’s legit about the music business? In terms of giving more money to artists and promoting new acts, tidal is above the rest.
haha. you musn’t have got the memo about them falsifying streaming figures. Open your eyes.
Hell yeah I read about it… no different than the radio payola that’s been going on for decades IMO. When you’re a boss you can boost your product. Unfair advantage maybe… but it didn’t bother me personally. Ut doesn’t affect me.
Not to mention back in the days labels would “sell album to the stores, then buy them back” in order to make their album peak on the charts. Buying streams is just a new formula and explains why so much bullshit music come out on top.
alot of down south cats got bentlys & deals buying they own records back soundscan scams were just as easy as paying indians & asians to sit in rooms all day clicking on things for pennies an hour
They’re all dishonest, wake up
Tidal is not Black-owned though. Jay-z is good at convcing y’all he owns things that major white-owned corporations own. You think he owns Roc Nation too huh?
WTF !! release your music on other streaming platforms ! these artists and their personal war against media stream to get more mulah is impacting the audience and the listeners !
He’s definitely on that weirdo shit again
That album is DOPEEEE!!! I wish it was longer, but that stream was beautiful.
By the way, I’m pretty sure the album will be out on all streaming platforms shortly. WAV is not a music app, so there’s no way they will only have it on there.
At least it wasnt on Tidal this time. Now he will make some real Bank with real streaminbg services.
Drake calling nicki right now crying asking why she on his album..PUUUUUSH!:0)
Drake also worked on the album lol
They scrapped his shit off, thats why the wyoming visit was one day only
Kanye and pusha t got the summer buzzing. Good music take over. Who does ovo have now that drake is forced to baby sit his own kid? ………..?
Drake’s single got more streams than Push album… takeover!!!
Actually, it doesn’t. That garbage ass “upset” shit went wood. His new “Yessum Massa” blackface song will go palladium with his fans though…
“this just in… Mega pop star Drake has out should a pure hip hop artist who most girls have never heard of”…. So shocking. Yeah. And Nelly sold more than Nas. Doesn’t define the music.
I downloaded that trash app and there’s no sign of the new album on there anywhere, not a thing, why can’t Ye just release an album across all streaming services. why he gotta sell out every time?
This album is garbage
I see you losers have already forgotten about what an ignorant moron this guy is. It’s hilarious that people used to try to say this guy is a genius. He’s mentally ill.
I told myself I wouldn’t give this album the time of day, but the music side of me gave in. After listening to it, I probably should’ve stuck with the original plan lol. It’s trash. Shout out to the beats he gave Pusha tho
This album is trash
Can we talk about drake allegedly putting up 100k for info on Pusha? Lol, goddamn he musta gotten knocked waaaay outta his zone. I hope he replies though. The hip hop side of me wants to see things continue a bit longer.
Short and bad.. Really bad.
You’re obviously white.
This is dope. It sounds like a mix of 808 and Graduation.
One good song on the album
No Mistakes and that’s mostly because of the sample
L
Nah..Yikes is #HeatRock
He rhymed huh with huh 8 times
Cmon son!
I knew he was bipolar! That medication he mentioned taking in the interview was bipolar meds.
you’re a f’in genius…..EVERYONE knows he’s bipolar son
HARD PASS! I will never support this clown (that is my choice).
im not gonna listen to this. His last two cds sucked anyways
So good… “we still the kids we used to be” ???
He may say and do a lot of dumb shit but, damn, he still can produce his ass of tho
Shouldn’t Kanye be promoting Pusha T’s new album? Yet he drops his own album.. that’s so Kanye.
He announced all the dates for these albums over a month ago. Stop hating and let Yeezus be great.
So true. This is why rappers who sign with a “producer/rapper” never really make it far and have a lot of success. You are literally competing with your boss. These next few weeks/months should be all about Pusha T. He has the spotlight and everything going for him, you should be riding that wave hard. I really wish Pusha was signed to another label who really can appreciate him, smdh…..
Pushas album is done for he used his spotlight to talk about another mans seed rather than promoting his album unfortunately – I hope ye gives a period of rest before dropping Cudi
And Drake uses his time to talk to women and Beta males. What’s your point?
Yeah you’re a straight retard… GOOD music is dropping like 5 albums straight. Quit hating and start appreciating…
It’s okay. No bad songs… 3 really great songs. Ghost town, yikes, and no Mistakes are amazing. The other 4 were okay. The 7 song thing worked better for Pusha than Ye.
Blah Blah Blah Blah Ghost Town will be the soundtrack to every windows down nighttime drive I take for the next month.
I can’t even force myself to enjoy Cudi’s off-key moaning. That record got deleted immediately. So unbearable.
The production is what saved this album. Real talk. Its 3 out of 5
Geminis make the greatest, timeless music… FACTS #GeminiSeason
It’s yeezy when you know how!
Cool album…. But pusha’s album was way better than this
This sh*t is cheeks.
G.A.R.B.A.G.E.
Slavery have a choice right!!! Well I have a choice and I am not putting a dime in your pocket. Its crazy how he acting like people forgot what he said.
Sorry, He is not back
His music has become boring. No soul
Everything Trump touches dies…
That’s a lot of dead pu$$y…..
Eh. Can’t blame Kanyes support for Trump on this. It’s simply a dull album. Yeezus sucked too. Jayz last album was boring as hell, and disappointing given his past music.
Ye hasn’t been all that good for over 5 years. Same with Jay.
Everyone is so damn obsessed with Trump. You hate him, yet can’t stop talking about him. Your the exact reason he was skyrocketed to popularity. Cause Y’all are free advertisement.
Daytona was average, and this EP is weak YIKES!!!!!!!!!! Two down two to go
Not feeling much on first listen but will persevere.
It doesn’t strike me as a DAYTONA.
What we your opinions in the end? I thought Daytona kicked this out the park 1st listen.
Now Daytona is by far the inferior album outside of bars.
Great ye’ project imo. Bars could of been better , but he explained alot on here
It was good imo….not worth all the Chris Rock star studded hoopla. I try to separate the man from the music but hearing a grown man go from blaming the TMZ staff and the world for his addicition and getting liposuction to Mr. Ra Ra Im so cocky and confident…IDK….good listen but probably out the playlist in a few weeks
All of the half-ass mumbling on the chorus like he doesn’t even know the words is getting pathetic and expected, sadly. Finish the damn song, Kanye. As long as you put out half-ass products, you’ll have a half-ass reception.
The mumbling needs to go. I despise that shit. Idk why these “artist” can’t care enough to enunciate
This album is unbelievable. Anyone who doesn’t like it, I promise that by the fourth listen it will be in your top 3 Kanye projects. My only criticism is that it is too short.
nah
you know some shit is trash when people start off with, when you listen to it a few times, or it will grow on you.
you know you’re a narrow minded person when you’re not willing to give something the time. Many albums require multiple listens, especially ones like this where the music is unexpected at first, you need to be able to listen to it with your expectations right to enjoy it. You’re not going to enjoy Mbdtf is you’re expecting college dropout
Not even curious enough listen. Was a huge Kanye fan but I can’t support someone who supports an enemy to my community. He’ll probably big numbers streaming-wise but I won’t be a contribute to it. #sorrynotsorry ??Kanye and his free thought/not thinking
Yeah, because America is soo much worse off now right? The economy sucks, prison reform shouldn’t happen, ms13 deserves to be here!
What did Obama do for you?
Obama stood tall and held back the flood of bull$#t that is flowing like water these days. He was doomed from day one when he tried to sit to grown men down to settle their differences over a beer and America was like “NOPE! That’s not going to work for us. Not enough drama!”.
The Dam is open now, do you like what you see?
Everything is a drake diss
I give the album a 6/10. Out of all the things Kanye been going through for the past couple of years I would have thought they’d be put into lyrics. Sadly they were not. Most of the production was dope and hooks good but lyrics were weak. The track with young thug jeremih, and ty dolla was the best one. Wouldnt Leave. Everything else eh. Ghost Town had a lot of potential. He sounded corny on Yikes…beat is dope though. Pusha album solid 8/10. PLEASE KANYE DON’T DO NAS DIRTY. I need that Nas album for my music soul.
” PLEASE KANYE DON’T DO NAS DIRTY. I need that Nas album for my music soul.”
Wait, is Nas and Kanye on the same label or did Kanye agree to produce Nas’s new album or something? I just didn’t know they were collaborating.
BENNY THE BUTCHER – A FRIEND OF OURS!!! Now that’s HipHop I can get jiggy with…lolololol
The buckwheat line was a shot at kendrick.
Shit I like it even though it’s not even in his top 4 or 5 projects he’s ever did it’s was great hearing him spit over a bangin beat like YIKES but he’s not back to being a top tier MC because a this..
This is not an album is this unfinished cutting room floor garbage. And. Kanye, never a great wordsmith, has lost all the charm and humor in his lyrics.
Just listened to the whole album, big disappointment, probably worse than Yeezus
damn yo kanye killed this shit. if u dont get it then i feel sorry for you man. from the cover art to the beats to the lyrics Ye got a gem with ye damn! AOTY!
Besides all the Kanye BS, this is a Great album !
Like a lot of albums I’m finding this sounds far better through decent headphones as first listen in the car was disappointing.
It also requires some patience which isn’t mine (or many people’s) strong point but there are some rewarding moments in there.
Cause it’s Kanye we need to give it repeated listens but other artists, if it’s trash after one to two listens we delete… Double standards.
He never said anything about not giving other artists other listens, and even if he had Kanye has proven himself as an artist that requires multiple listens regardless
7 songs bullshit again ??!?§?
Pretty good 3.5/5 album. 7 songs is way too short but nothing was overly stupid like his last 2 albums. Kanye’s charm isn’t as proficient and lyrically he is still as weak as he’s been the better part of the last 5 years. But overall if a fine 20-30 minute album with fine production, some great choruses.
Trash
Horrible
How soon we forgot that he loves Donald Trump. So I guess this album is Endorsed and approved by The President of the United States. I’m not touching his music.
This album had two songs out of seven that were hot. This is his worst album to date. 2.5/5
Overhyped bull. Kanye doesn’t have enough substance to keep my attention. His heart isn’t in the music anymore. Based off first listen.
