It seems he isn’t just the greatest rock star on the planet. There are hints of gospel and Motown, and he has omitted some of the celebrity collaborations he has released recently, such as work with former Beatle Paul McCartney. As ever there are plenty of other big names scattered around, not least Rihanna on “Famous.” Young Thug, Chris Brown, the Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar also join the party, while there are samples which range from the Jamaican-patois “Bam Bam” by Sister Nancy to the gentle introduction of “Human” by Goldfrapp. While West will probably object to even this and has already declared it the best album of all time, it is clear that he is moving away from a rap beat and experimenting more. The self-referencing numbers such as “Famous” and “I Miss The Old Kanye” sit alongside thematically-linked material such as “Low Lights” and “Highlights,” with “Fade” signing off the collection.Īfter all the fuss has died down, be it over Yeezy Season or the hype around its launch, the 18 tracks will win comparison with West’s last, Yeezus, from 2013, or albums such as Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly and Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. The album’s title is a reference to Pablo Picasso. The Yeezus tour was grossing more than $1 million a night. In just a few hours, Kanye West will debut The Life of Pablo, his first album of new music in three years, and perhaps the most speculated-about and anticipated pop record since Wests last.

The rapper's comments follow others suggesting he has money-making potential going forward. West has appeared in the Forbes Celebrity 100 list and was in 20 th place in 2015. Despite this, in a Twitter post on Saturday he claimed that he was $53 million in debt.
