New album on the way (supposedly)

His tweet says today…

I’ll believe it when I see it, but maybe he’s learned his lesson and actually finished this thing before announcing it.

What do we want to hear? Me: life of pablo type beats with actually considered lyrics, preferably with fuck all to do with God…

I think the tweet means that the song rather than the album is coming today

#1058

If it turned up, I’d still be impressed.

One of my favourite artists of all time, and can’t even get a little bit excited about this

Hard to get too excited about something that probably doesn’t exist.

Well if the album is called ‘God’s Country’, you’re probably shit out of luck on that front.

I think I’m at the stage with him where I didn’t even check if the last few rumoured ones actually turned up

I hear you but in fairness the title could have been more political than spiritual (not necessarily a more comforting thought with Kanye of late).

Anyway - it’s a moot point because I heard a clip where Kanye just repeats something about the Holy Spirit helping us five or six times.

Was anyone else really hoping he’d get beaten by the first boss?

Beat’s pretty cool but all of Kanye’s vocals/lyrics sound completely half assed still. The video makes it seem a lot more powerful than it actually is I reckon.

Dunno, relatively well timed commentary on Kanye’s main cause since ye (for people listening through all the mind numbing bullshit), which was the injustice of the 13th amendment and mass incarceration.

Not exactly genius lyrics, but it’s still probably better than anything on JIK.

Wash us in the blood ( Yeah )
Whole life bein’ thugs (Hah)
No choice, sellin’ drugs (Ooh)
Genocide, what it does (Ah)
Mass incarc’, what it does
'Cause a cause, what it does (Ooh)
‘Nother life bein’ lost
Let it off, set it off

Executes-in-thirty-states
Thirty-states-still-execute
Thou shall not kill, I shall not spill at the rendezvous
We got the time in the federal
Scrub at you out in your section, ooh (Oh, no)
We walked the blocks in the residue
Now look what we headed to

Lyrics and flow are so empty on this, damn. The juxtaposition against that sick beat only makes it worse some how.
