After the most drawn-out, drama-filled, hyped-up album campaign of all time, Kanye West has finally given the pubic a listen of his new album The Life of Pablo (FKA So Help Me God, FKA Swish, FKA Waves), which he debuted at Madison Square Garden this evening. Kanye played the entire album (on repeat) via his laptop, in conjunction with the unveiling of Yeezy Season 3.
While we were already well-versed in the tracklist, we weren’t quite prepared for the sheer amount of incredible collaborators, including Frank Ocean (on “Wolves”), Rihanna (on “Famous”), Chance the Rapper (on “Ultra Light Beam”), Future (on “Father Stretched My Hands”), Ty Dolla $ign (on “Fade”), Young Thug (on “Highlights”) as well as Kirk Franklin, Post Malone, The-Dream, Kid Cudi and more.
On a side note, his track “Famous” weirdly features a line referencing Taylor Swift, as he raps: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that bitch famous.”
