Jun 3, 2015 According to this guy on twitter: https://twitter.com/ye3zy3/ Ye was in Oakland for the last game of the WCF (Oakland is 25 mins from Apple HQ, I live here so I know). Interesting. He was alone it seemed like from the pics too. Not some friend/family affair. He has no invested interest in either team that was playing. WWDC (World Wide Developer Conference) is Apple's yearly conference where they hold a keynote on day 1. This year's day 1 is this coming Monday. http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/wwdc/. Been an Apple 'stan' for a while, they usually do iOS update reveals (this year iOS 9) Mac updates here, sometimes update iPods and announce that, this year they're 100% expected to reveal their music streaming service + enhanced radio service to compete w/ Spotify. If you remember correctly last year they did a thing with U2. Just search it, I ain't about to dig for a good link. Something similar in conjunction with streaming service w/ Kanye coming? I think this is legit. But then again, I am an optimist.
Jun 3, 2015 As cool as it would be, this will never happen because of his contract with Tidal (him working with Apple would completely destroy Tidal's image). But Drake possibly working with Apple is another thing...
Jun 3, 2015 All of his albums are "available" for free. I wouldn't be surprise if the download is free w/ subscription to the platform or something.
Jun 3, 2015 Not so sure about this. Tweets say Apple purchased the rights to SWISH, not to his discography. Maybe Kanye is holding out the rest of his discography, leaving it on Tidal and not on the streaming service? Idk, trying to play whatever the opposite of devil's advocate is. God's advocate. Yeezus's advocate.
Jun 3, 2015 Also, I've followed every WWDC in recent memory. Its almost always on a Wednesday. Maybe they're doing Monday because of the new music release day standard (tuesday). thats a stretch and a half right there.
Jun 3, 2015 Kanye was wearing a gold apple watch with a gold band at the Chicago Bulls game he performed at. http://9to5mac.com/2015/05/10/kanye-west-unsurprisingly-also-has-a-gold-link-bracelet-apple-watch/ Keep in mind 3 very important things: 1) this is at a time when there were rumors of Kanye distancing himself from Tidal/Hov. 2) this is also at a time when Apple was running a smear campaign against tidal artists: see Rhianna. 3) gold watch band: these aren't for sale, Apple is very exclusively giving them to celebrities that they like/work with, very few have shown up: Karl Lagerfield and Beyoncé back in mid April. Oh wait, who did Apple do an exclusive surprise album launch with not so long ago? Cough f---ing cough I am now 100% convinced that Kanye West's SWISH will be a part of Apple's WWDC keynote on Monday. Ban me if I'm wrong @Koolo
