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.
That's right US citizens, tickets to the premiere of Kanye West's Yeezy Season 3 and WAVES screening are now on sale at the theatre near you.

Straight from the mouth of the horse, Adidas has confirmed that the Yeezy Boosts 350 will re-release on Feb.19. There was previous speculation that this was the drop date for the All White Boosts, not this time. So if you missed picking up a pair when they originally released in August Adidas has blessed you with another chance. I'm sure resellers will be clamoring to cop these and make a pretty penny.
The .NET is buzzing about rumors that a new colorway for the Yeezy 350 boosts could be just around the corner. WAVES and Yeezy Season 3 are already scheduled to drop on Feb. 11, could possibly lay down another one for the 3peat by dropping kicks in the same month? Stranger things have happened. Kanye was recently spotted wearing the all white version while attending James Harden's yacht party back in August. The other side of the room speculates that it could simply be another remake of the all black editions, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
