Kanye West Thread


Deepest Shame

Recommended Posts

just because she's known for being a press-hungry fake.

Sounds to me like he's found his soul mate. :tongue2:

Everything about this guy just makes me...kinda...giggle.

You know that felling you (ER) get about James Hetfield?

This guy does that to me.

Apparently this is the album "cover":

DJ Semtex, who has performed on West's tour before, also posted the image to his website, writing: "Forget everything else you have seen, this is the official artwork. No cover, booklet, just a sticker on the reverse of the package with the track list."

I'm guessing we won't hear new Kanye music next Tuesday.

A buddy of mine has been doing some digging, and his investigation is turning up some interesting results...

Best Buy has not made an order for the album.

Neither has Walmart.

He is contacting other major retailers... But so far it looks like the album won't be carried by retailers.

Update: Def Jam executive has said they can't confirm they are handling or distributing the album in any way.

He's taking the time out of his day to do that? That's nice.

Kanye said the 18th so I'm gonna trust his word until he says different. They might not have been sent out to retailers to prevent any leaks or he may focus on a digital release first with physical copies to come after.

Why? 'cause of the controversial content?

Doubt it. I suspect an online exclusive like Radiohead or NIN.

Or a push back on the release date.

Strange, considering the album art and that the dude said "just a sticker in the back with the tracklist".

Right? But then why are major retailers not getting it, and why is the label not receiving it.

I don't have an answer, and I won't pretend that I know enough about the heavy lifting of the industry to have anything more than I guess, but this is all very interesting to me.
