Par for the course, the release date for Kanye West’s next album is up in the air. According to Variety, a source said Jesus Is King is not dropping on Friday (September 27) as previously reported.
However, Ye’s wife Kim Kardashian retweeted a recent post from someone named “Colin” indicating Jesus Is King will arrive in two days as initially expected. (It’s of note Kanye follows the account.)
Following Kanye’s erratic album release schedule last year, this comes as no surprise. The G.O.O.D. Music mastermind delivered five albums in five weeks, including Nas’ NASIR, Pusha T’s Daytona and Kids See Ghosts’ self-titled debut.
But the majority of them came with a few snags. For example, the listening party for his Ye solo album came with a lot of waiting. For starters, there were issues with the WAV stream and when that magical hour of midnight finally arrived, the album didn’t drop.
After the late night, the owners of the Wyoming ranch where it was held promptly issued a “no rappers” policy.
Then, Kanye promised a new album called Yandhi would arrive in September 2018. After that failed to materialize, he took off for Africa and postponed it multiple times.
As Consequence recently told HipHopDX, “With Kanye, it always runs down to the wire.”
Last month, Kardashian shared a photo of what appeared to be the tracklist for Jesus Is King with the date “September 27” written at the bottom. Now, it’s a waiting game.
More mediocre garbage that the media will claim is amazing and of course the lemmings will follow. This guy had three decent albums and people act like he’s the second coming of Dr. Dre.
yeah ok
3 DOPE albums and other decent albums.
As a giant Dr Dre fan, I think only people who arnet hardcore fans don’t know the truth about him. Major ghost producers… And I not even a big Kanye fan, but Kanye has more great albums than Dre. DRE is 2 for 4. 2 great albums, 2 not great albums. Not great were The Aftermath and Compton. I love what Dre used to take part in, but he hasn’t made good shit in decades, and the best shit ever wasn’t even him.
For sure. His fans are among the worst there are. They ride him like few other sets of fans do.
Better than Dr Dre… And what the fuck do you listen to??
You’re saying this guy is better than the man who produced straight outta Compton, the chronic, 2001, and so many other classics? Dre is the most influential artist in hip hop period. How can you when put these two in the same category?
I love Dre, but let’s not pretend Dre made all of that shit. Straight outta Compton was a highly overrated movie, and full of innacuracies. It was pure Hollywood. Second, the majority of the chronic, and 2001 were not produced by dre. Chronic was Daz Dillinger, and 2001 was Mel Man and Storch. Dr Dre is not close to being the most influential man in hiphop. Not even slightly close. Again, I’m a Dre fan boy, but I’m not stuck in a bogus bubble like you are. Everyone knows Dre is notorious for having ghost producers. Last time he made full beats was NWA. But cmon man, your calling him the most infulencial in hiphop, yet the last album, Compton, wasn’t even known to the general public. Only us big fans listened to it, and it didn’t influence anyone at all.. It wasn’t really good at all. Dres most notorious beats are not made by himself. Also, Dre did not make most beats on DOGGYSTYLE, Dogg Food, Man VS Machine, Get Rich Or Due Trying, The Documentary, ect…. Name a Dre beat, and you can likely give the majority of the credit to a different person… Dre takes respinsiblty by doing some drums or mastering… But other dudes make the melodies, which were the best part aovit Dre songs… Hypnotic melodies.
Fake news all the way. If Daz made Dres beats, then Daz should’ve been the ultra successful producer after Death Row fell apart, not Dre. Also I’m not talking about Straight Outta Compton the movie, I’m talking about the album. This is the trouble with you young heads. You have no actual ability to discern the truth. You read something and you just puppet it back blindly without having any context or factual information.
Did you read my comment? 2001, dres success story after death row, was not mostly Dres work. Mel Man. Scott Storch. Focus… Look at the credits man. Seriously, name a Dre hit from 2001, and I’ll tell you who did the beat. Everyone admits, Dre doesn’t do the beats, he does everything else. And yes, Daz made most of the Death Row Records Era sound. You can’t be a fan of that style if you think Dre is the one responsible for it. Oh, and wonder why Daz fell off? Look at him… He’s a fucking loser. That’s it. Suge Knight was on top of the world at one point too… He fell too.
Discern from truth? First off, Straight Outta Compton wasnl an NWA album… Which I clearly said was the time when adre ACTUALLY made all of the beats. After that, he did not. Seriously, look into it. Daz made the death row sound. Even Tupac called out Dre for pitching in little to nothing in death row. Your taking shit about young heads, yet your the ignorant old man who thinks the Hollywood movie was an accurate depiction of real life lol.
Your the one acting like a puppet. Dre didn’t make a lot of his biggest HITS. Ghost producers did…
He gets that you are talking about the album. He is referencing the film to say that a lot of it was BS, just like Dre’s production credits.
People just love trying to take success away from others, you included. Point is, Dre is where he is. If you choose to believe he’s gotten there off other people’s work – by all means believe that, but you’re deluding yourself. I’ll look at the facts and listen to the endless praise from artists who’ve worked with him, and make my own opinion. Truth my bottom!
Sorry to tell you the truth, Truth, but you are mistaken. Daz is only credited as a performer on 4… FOUR of the Chronic’s songs. I don’t know where you got the idea Daz produced ANYTHING on Chronic, but you’re mistaken.
Daz?!! Nah bruh. Hate to break it to ya. I dunno where you got the idea Daz produced ANYTHING on Chronic, but you are mistaken. He’s credited as a vocalist on 4, FOUR songs. Thats it. Do the knowledge, catch Netflix Hip Hop Evolution. It is brilliantly well executed and chronicles the entire history of hip hop. And guess who shows up at nearly EVERY pivotal moment in hip hop history, Dr Dre.
At this point, Kanye is at least as influential as Dr Dre… But neither is “the most influential artist in Hip-Hop period”. I couldn’t even attribute that to any single person… Rakim? Russel Simmons? Poppa Diddy Pop?
He’s as influential as the guy who was behind NWA, Death Row and Aftermath? The guy who mentored Snoop, 50, Eminem, Game and Kendrick? The guy who changed the face of hip hop twice with The Chronic and 2001?
Do the facts just not matter at all anymore?
Do the knowledge. Watch Hip Hop Evolution. Its brilliantly well executed and chronicles the whole history of hip hop…and guess who pops up at EVERY pivotal moment in the ENTIRE HISTORY OF HIP HOP?…. Dr Dre. There was stuff i didn’t even KNOW originated from him. Hes one of the most important people in hip hop period. Kanye cool too. But Dre truly one of the goats.
You think watching that show is ‘Doing the Knowledge?’ HAHAHAH are you British by any chance?
You millenials are funny. You compare dre to kanye, drake to pac and lebron to mj. Just face it you are a weak, ignorant generation and your heroes are all frauds.
If you can read the fucking comments, you’d see nobody was doing that at all. The comments literally said KANYE ISN’T the 2nd coming of Dre. But again, Dre is highly overrated, and didn’t create the majority of his most well known hits, such as “Still Dre”. Scott Storch, and Jayz writing the words.
Dre produced (if you really know the traditional definition of producer) anything his name was on. Scott wrote and played the main keyboard line, he’s a studio session musician that’s what they do. Jay-Z wrote the rap but Dre is a producer, not a stretch to have something written for him. Jay written for so-called rappers who dent produce anything that have no business not writing their own bars. Daz is no way responsible for any sound. His biggest beats at Heathrow were mostly hands to Soopafly know what you’re talking about. And I’m. Oone of the biggest Kanye fans but you talk about Dre and ghost producers and mention Kanye in the same sentence? Have you read the credits on his beats? About 8 to 9 producers, often times with his name like 3rd on the list.
‘Old man yells at cloud’
confusion looms around everything Kanye, lol
I don’t know why they’d be ‘down to the wire’. He can release it whenever he feels like it. Maybe he should wait until it’s as perfect as he can make it so we don’t get more unfinished-sounding mediocre projects like his last few attempts.
