    The fact that he's taking his time with it and not rushing it out in a week gives me some level of hope that it might be better than Ye, but yeah these leaks and snippets are not good.

    To all of you who have replayed yeezus or tlop since their release, I must ask, how is life as a h---------- in today's current climate? Do you feel more accepted in this day and age?

    its hard to not worried about the album.

    he took his time with Pablo and that got rushed to s--- with awkward half finished, barely written songs like Fade, FSMH, Waves etc.

    he took his time with Love Everybody and then scrapped it & whipped up Ye in less than a month.

    and these albums got 11/10 songs in there dont get me wrong, but as a whole there's little (Pablo) to no (Ye) vision like Big Cuntry said. that was the fun thing with his catalog before, every album had a distinctly different image, mood, theme, sound -- like somethin out of an art gallery. but these last two albums just feel like compilations.

    there is hope though i suppose. lately he's been surrounded by Ant Clemmons, Chance, Ty Dolla, Rhymefest. seems he's got a team/camp type thing goin on again. maybe they'll steer him into some kinda direction. or maybe it'll be another barge of trash, we shall see, we shall see.

    You could see signs of that frustration re: a clear idea starting with Pablo—or when it was So Help Me God specifically. Cuz he had the acoustic Paul McCartney Only One/FourFiveSeconds s--- and then stuff that sounded like All Day, Piss on Your Grave, and God Level which are two extremely conflicting sounds. I remember some quote where specifically referenced how he was having trouble balancing the album because of that which I assume led to that year delay.

    Kids See Ghosts worked I think because Cudi and Kanye were able to cancel out their worst tendencies and bring out the best in each other. I think he really needs a guiding voice like that. If you look at all his albums from the past decade he always had people to help guide him toward his vision. MBDTF he had a whole rap camp, WTT had Jay, Yeezus had Rick Rubin. A haphazard album like Pablo only works once (and even then a bunch of songs had been finished for ages from the SHMG stage), cuz the whole point is that it was sort of a manic series of ups and downs that represents that struggle to maintain balance.

    With Ye he scrapped an entire album and redid it in a month. There's a couple good songs on there but like you said there's no clear vision. There's some interesting threads going on but he never really follows any of them in full—which is what happens when you're still recording your verses the day of your listening party. I'm just happy he's not giving himself another arbitrary deadline. It's a shame he'll probably never get over wanting to be in the news constantly, cuz he's at the point in his career where he doesn't need to be putting music out all the time. We got a Kanye album almost every year from 2004 to 2013 if you include CS and WTT, and while I doubt he'll ever top or meet his highest highs, I'd be more than content if we got something Pablo quality every 3-5 years.

    I think it's gonna be worse than Ye, these recent leaks been trash af, I don't want religious Kanye tbh. He better pull off another Jesus Walks.

    But yeah, I hope he'll come through with something great.

    This sounds good but I'm pretty worried about the content of any Kanye song with the word "Slave" in it in 2019 lol

    I know there's an incredible spark of creativity somewhere in the abyss of his mind, I'm just hoping it comes out as a clear idea. Lately it seems he struggles with that aspect in his music, something that never used to happen before with Ye.

    We're either getting a Hallelujah classic or a Ye Shrug, or better yet nothing at all.
