Kanye West TLOP = The Life Of Pablo

Kanye has finally revealed the mystery behind his album titled TLOP or "The Life of Pablo". The Pablo referenced is not the notorious Pablo Escobar but, the famous artist Pablo Picasso. Picasso is one of Kanye's favorite artists,"My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater," Kanye said in a speech given to the Oxford Guild Society.  

It comes as no surprise to anyone that Ye' would compare himself to one of the great classical artists. Yeezy also dropped the final tracklist along with Yeezy season 3 that hinted at a few new colorways for the Yeezy boosts. More to come on the colorways and the actual drop of the album itself that has taken 3 years in the making (Yeezus 2013) but, at least we aren't wondering what it will be called. Stay tuned as the saga continues.

Kanye Changes his Album Title...Again.

Yes, Yeezy has renamed his album again. First it was "So Help Me God", then we had "SWISH" and then WAVES but, now we have TLOP. Well what does TLOP stand for? That's the million dollar question, Kanye has offered up no explanation thus far. The date is Feb. 10, 2016 the 10yr anniversary of College dropout and the new album drops at midnight. Ye' has challenged everyone to correctly guess the meaning of TLOP before then. The winner is to receive a Free Pair of Yeezys and tickets to Yeezy Season 3 premiere. Hype is at an all time high. The clock is winding down, and still no one has guessed correctly, at midnight we'll have both the meaning behind the name and the album itself. 

Max B on Kanye West Album "WAVES"

Max B the "Wavy Daddy" responds to Kanye naming his new album "WAVES". First off if you don't know the Max B story, do yourself a favor and quickly brush up on your hip-hop history here. Max B the creator of the wave basically goes on to say Kanye's naming the album was just borrowing of positive inspiration and that it should be done more in hip-hop. More artists should be jumping off of others creativity and inspiration in a positive way, Kanye didn't drop a diss track on him and everyone already knows who created the wavy terms so he's not trippin. Max B also commented on a new documentary based on him coming out from DJ Scoob Doo, wasn't done properly. Listen below for the full interview via Breakfast Club.

Rihanna ANTI goes Platinum Already?

RiRi's much anticipated album ANTI has already been certified platinum because Samsung pre purchased 1M copies of the album to distribute as a free download. Plus the album has already been streamed 14M times on Tidal. This could easily hit No.1 on the charts but true sales numbers will be muddied because Billboard won't count that Samsung purchase, I believe he same thing happened with Drakes latest album due to his Apple deal.  Rihanna doesn't strike me as one to care too much about the stats though. She has managed however to finesse a $25M deal with Samsung last year and got them to sponsor her next tour with Travi$ Scott.

This begs the question is big company involvement good or bad for the game? Artists used to really have to hustle to get that Platinum certification. If a behemoth like Samsung can swoop in and buy 1M to put you at a Platinum level off the bat, what does that say? Is this the future of the game, where artists are financially cosigned by big companies like Apple, Samsung, or even Sony? What happens when a big player withdraws their sponsorship? I don't have the answers but I guess only time will tell.

Let me know what you think!
