Kanye West - thread contains discussion of his racism and sexism.

Is this album actually coming out all finished, mixed and on time next Friday?

DiS has spoken. Photos of Mike Dean mixing an album at 3am next Tuesday morning on Instagram it is, working on a record with a completely different track list from the one Kim posted, and unfinished demos from the Yandhi leak randomly shoved in there.

lol - this is probably dead on, but it will be entertaining either way. I feel like Yandhi was only ever ethereally a thing; like Swish and Turbo Grafx, not announced w/ track-list and release dateā€¦

My main concern is that the lyrics will be too God-based and ā€˜deepā€™. My favourite Kanye is savage inner turmoil Kanye (see Yeezus, FML, Real Friends, etc). An album of Ultra Light Beams sounds like my worst nightmare.

That said, maybe Iā€™m mad, but I really believe heā€™s worked on this as a ā€˜properā€™ album and it will feel more complete than his last few releases. Iā€™m interested to hear what that sounds like after so longā€¦

At the end of the day, at least the new Kevin Gates will definitely drop.

Whereas I think Iā€™d really like this

Me too (mainly for Chanceā€™s verse) but, an album of it Iā€™m not that bothered by.

Oh dearā€¦

Bit more detail looks like Def Jam want this as well.

If Kanye hasnā€™t finished thatā€™s one thing, if Def Jam donā€™t want to release it, thatā€™s quite something.

Itā€™s his Yankee Hotel Foxtrot!

Iā€™ve read rumours online that Kanyeā€™s angling for non-tax status with this Christian shift, essentially branding the Sunday sermon stuff as a religion in the same vein that Scientology do, so if the album has been made to make that all seem more credible I can imagine how it might be awfulā€¦

Really hoping thatā€™s not the case.

I canā€™t imagine how an album of wild-egomania Kanye rapping about his connection with Jesus for 70+ minutes will be anything other thanā€¦ embarrassing. Maybe that reflects my general cynicism about religion though. Jesus Walks is a colossal tune, so I hope to be proved wrong, although that was a very different Kanye than the one we have nowā€¦

I really hope for a miraculous turn-around from Ye (and Pablo to be honest) and Iā€™m sure he still has it in him, based on the Cudi and Pusha albumsā€¦ I just think he maybe needs someone else to bounce off and edit for him.

Do Kanye fans not find his God complex troubling?

Sure, but for me I donā€™t think itā€™s even in the top three of troubling Kanye things to hold my nose over while enjoying his music.

Not really, I mean heā€™s hardly the first musician to have one.

yeah I guess it is just part of a wider set of issues or a reflection of underlying issues.

doesnā€™t tend to end well though does it.

Most of my hype on this has tanked anyway, if itā€™s really a selection of ropey Christian rap songs, rather than gospel influenced ye bangers.

Well, regardless, thereā€™s going to be a Friday Sunday Service in Detroit tomorrow. So something is going down (ā€¦yā€™know, the other ones have been on Sunday).

Announcing his new religion heā€™s set up probably
