    I understand that feeling. Cudi let me down after the Pseudo-Liberal Dress-Wearing Move that was supposedly done for something totally corporate and unsacred. When Kurt Cobain wore a dress, he literally did it as a "f--- YOU!" Tyler, The Creator channels that energy more authentically and that is why his success is deserved. Cudi just feels like an integrity-accosted cog in the music industry's machine now. Cud in 2008 is G.O.A.T.'d though.

    also I'm listening to this dababy verse right now and it's good lol I missed it last night. dababy's a moron who doesn't even understand his own homophobia but he's a good rapper. certainly more dexterous than 50 year old jay z

    I’m convinced he’s just planning on doing it indefinitely at this point

    But he needs to release his 10th album to get outta his contract and he really wants to get out of it which is the only reason I believe it’s going to drop for real at some point lol

    I want to know how much money he's raked in from these "release" events. He might just be like, f--- it, if people are gonna keep paying I might as well milk it. With Drake confirming next Friday we'll see what happens

    Random thoughts:

    the two new songs are beautiful and top tier songs

    removing Jay and Cudi to me is a downgrade

    Da Baby killed his verse, but the symbolism of having Jay on that track was way more significant

    Having Da Baby up there against cancel culture or what not is fine because his situation is true to the over reaction of the whole thing. We need to teach not shun. BUT having Marilyn Manson up there is a big f---ing L.

    I hope he puts South Carolina with Pusha back on

    I hope it’s not censored because a few times last night I swore parts were censored but other times he let it fly.

    Just finish the f---ing Royce demo part. It’s literally two lines. My god you lazy f---

    he needs to speed back up Off The Grid. It sounds like he slowed the tempo marginally. But my god did he f---ing k--- that verse

    this was Kanye’s best individual performance musically of the three parties.

    I mean this can be fine if everybody from his camp stop f---ing lying to the fans, it is super annoying honestly.

    I suppose maybe they really hope it is true when they announce a date but Kanye just f---s them over again and again?

    I understand the average person not caring about all the bs around albums like this but tbh I really enjoy the spectacle. The multiple listening parties, drake text, drake posting a video of himself laughing then announcing his album like he’s the puppet from SAW. It’s all hilarious and fun tbh

    I’m enjoying this a lot. Like, where’s the fun in an artist dropping a surprise album, doing one interview and disappearing for years

    The fun for me is actually listening to the music not getting baited over and over. This roll out to me is funny, as I'm not huge into his music as I once was. But if I was a Ye Stan this would annoy the s--- out of me. I haven't listened to one track yet

    i’d say it’s more about his relationship with God than it is a “religious” album

    Yeah, guess it's just the theme that keeps me away from the album. But the "show" was nice from what I've seen.
