Jan 2, 2016 almost everyone in this thread is at least half-wrong. i suspect kanye's next album, whatever it's called, will be when he finally falls off. let's be honest: who has made it through the first seven albums (and 12 years) of their solo career unscathed? he's overdue for a slip, and while Yeezus is a tremendous album, it was smartly constructed so that the lyrics, which he clearly didn't put much thought into until the last minute, weren't going to sink or float the project. it would be stupid to draw too many conclusions from a soundcloud loosie where he disses a shoe company in the jumpman cadence. but it might be cause for concern that his big new year's eve drop, after only two solo songs the previous calendar year, was...a soundcloud loosie where he disses a shoe company in tihe jumpman cadence. if nothing else, this shows that people saying "oh he's too cocky" or that he won't know if his s--- is bad are obviously, obviously wrong. when he put out "only one," "fourfiveseconds," "all day," and performed "wolves" in a three-month span, the plan was clearly to drop soon. he didn't. in august, i was overseas with a few apple executives, who told me they were in the final stages of arranging a surprise drop "very soon." that didn't happen, either. obviously, kanye keeps sitting down with a whiteboard and his hard drive, plotting out a tracklist, and realizing he isn't ready. but then you loop back around to the idea that it's been exactly 12 months since he went through one of his trademark creative reboots, and is now aping drake because he thinks he has to to build buzz. it's not that his quality control is gone--"facts" obviously will never come near an album--it's that he hasn't decided to, or hasn't been able to, lock himself in a room and up the ante. i've thought kanye was going to fall off with 808s, Dark Fantasy, and Yeezus, and i was wrong all those times. but there have never been as many pump fakes as there have been this time around.
Jan 2, 2016 he's never put out a song for this that sounds even vaguely like future. what are you talking about?
