Really? Jeez! I put a post up saying "Just fucking release the album already" and he kpt me waiting another year? The cunt.

Feb. 11, 2016 was the livestream premier. Feb. 14 it was on Tidal. Like 11 months post-TPAB.

Jeez, my memory of what happened last week gets blurred, never mind 2 years ago.

Mine too, but this is Kanye West. I sat at work with headphones in listening to the live stream (and pretended I couldn’t hear my boss when she asked me to go do something else for a bit, actually... I wasn’t missing it), and then counted the fucking seconds until it was available in a real “finished” format.

Also, it was Valentine’s Day, so the girlfriend and I listened to the album on our way to see Deadpool. <3

NEW BLACK STAR ALBUM?

Deadpool is a good vday movie. No jokes. I mean it's a love story at heart.

Seeing Talib this Friday. I'll ask him for more details.

Frustrating listen. A great track or two, and then something super annoying. Then greatness. Then shit. But yeah, certainly worth paying attention to.

But nowhere near the level of a proper Kendrick album.

If a soundtrack ends up being the best rap album of the year, the world is in even more trouble than I thought.

Purple Rain was a soundtrack...

I don’t feel like new Blackstar w/ Madlib is getting the proper reaction.

oh I hadn't read the article. Figured it was a rumor thing. That's great then.

New MF DOOM and Czarface to drop March 30.

yeah, raise your hand if you were expecting an MF Doom/Inspectah Deck album to hit before the MF Doom/Ghostface one.

I don't believe the Blackstar and Madlib thing until I'll see it.. Mos has been full of shit in the last few years.

Both statements are true. I was exaggerating, it won't be better than a new Danny Brown/Earl/Madlib (whether it's with Blackstar or Freddie Gibbs)/Nas/Isaiah Rashad album..

I don't get it. Is this a one-off? More to come?

Did you hear that Kanye’s in the studio with Mos and Talib for this new Black Star thing?

Wish he’d just get in the studio for himself. Maybe even exclude all other parties, until the time comes to record features.

I love Black Star, but there is no way a sequel album to a classic is going to be as good as a new studio album from our boy (SEE: Deltron II). Though I am still excited about the potential for a new Black Star... second best two-emcee collaborative record in hip-hop history, easy.

But I find it hard to get excited about any music anymore, because it’s like Kanye’s taken it all from me.

Sure, albums will come out that catch my ear and excite me in the long run, or album’s will come out that turned out to be 100 times better than I was anticipating (Blonde, Damn). But fuck man. Nothing else really gets me like the news of a forthcoming Kanye album.

I said in 2016 that I would have been fine with TLOP being his last, but after the 2 years he’s had, I REALLY want to see him come back and just blow everyone’s nuts up into their throats.

August Greene's NPR Tiny Desk concert, released yesterday. A super mellow soul-enriching marvel.
