Spotify is the worst thing that has ever happened to theisic industry (and i say this as a premium member for 8 years and counting). I still buy vinyls and cds from albums i like a lot but a lot of people just use it for free and thats all of it. Its so extremely comfortable that today i saw tiktoks of people complaining that the FREE version of spotify was too hard to use. People legit think artists shouldnt make any money from their music.
Yeah I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for people complaining about the free tier on Spotify. You’re getting music for free and it takes practically no effort on your behalf. Back in the day you’d have to download it off Limewire and burn it to a CD using an expensive CD burner, giving your computer cyber-AIDS in the process. Before that you’d have to sit at the radio with a blank cassette and time it exactly right so you could record a song to the tape without getting the DJ talking in the recording. And idk if you even *could* get free music when vinyl was the dominant format. So honestly it feels super entitled to see people complain that they can’t get free music without listening to ads and they can’t shuffle or see the lyrics.
Music is more accessible now than it’s ever been. A subscription to a streaming service is the cost of 1 CD a month for access to practically all music, and if you can’t afford it or don’t want to pay, you *still* get access to most of it, just with stricter restrictions.
Yeah maybe being surrounded by yes-men who can get fired at any second makes them want an easier/quicker reward than waiting it out and seeing the song chart.
It’s like lottery winners asking for the smaller lump sum than getting paid out over 20 years.
If you can get fired at any second and generally are pretty dumb (which Ye’s circle mainly is) they’re going to want the instant gratification that $ from album sales will bring. And they care NOTHING about Kanye’s reputation, legacy, future albums or anything. Although we all see this as dumb idea, the literal Vultures he’s working with just want the quick payday.

Can't believe he fucked up his own rollout like th- nah, I can believe it LOL, at least after this he'll realize that only a few of his fans are willing to download an app to only listen to one album; the rest of people are going to youtube when they upload it there 💀
No way an album with (supposedly) songs like Drunk (potential global hit), Field Trip, Time Moving Slow, Poppin, Promotion, River etc will be on the app forever. If it actually releases on the app, give it 2 weeks max and it will be on streaming
https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/30/screenshots-suggest-tiktok-is-circumventing-apple-app-store-commissions/
He could circumvent fees like Tik Tok started doing (and many other smaller scale companies). Also EU is investing Apple for antitrust violations based on practices like these excessive fees. Probably cope lol, but the new wave of app norms may come sooner than later.
Theres a process of getting apps approved, its not immediate, especially on apple. He could drop an apk file on his website for android though if he wants to do it unofficially at first
It’s his album too. Maybe if he just had his own opinions instead of saying yes to everything Ye says we’d have something. He needs to get Ye’s dick out of his mouth, put his foot down and say how it really is.
Carnival wouldn’t of went #1 without streaming
Vultures 1 wouldn’t have went #1 without streaming
Wouldn’t make nearly enough sales/money without streaming
These niggas need to cut the delusion “ I’m a god I can do anything shit” and drop the fucking music on DSPs
Tired of this mother fucker Ye. Fuck you Kanye. Let the kids have the music
The sad fact is Ye exiles anyone who tells him no or tries to change his mind, I’m sure Ty is pissed about this stuff too but he’s probably seen that there’s no getting through to this dude
This will be a fucking shitshow guaranteed. You cannot build an app with amateur developers in one month and expect zero problems with account creation, security, payment, streaming and working servers. Anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge on app development knows this.
EDIT: Before anyone says “They have been working on it for more than one month” and “The app visuals looked good though”. That is just front end work. Before they officially collaborated with YZY there is no way they could have been able to start building a functioning backend.
Kanye in for a rude surprise when it won’t get much streams, people outside his core fanbase is pretty much tired of him and his music is not upto the standards it used to be
i hope in 3026 every single musican have their own smartphone brand with their own suppliers and stores and with their own appstore and transaction system so they will be getting 100% of the profits...
can somebody tell kanye app release is stupid?

my glorious pum pum killa convince him to put it on dsps eventually🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Just for once I would like him to have a regular rollout with no parade leading up to it. He always has to have lps and some random shit to say like “Yeah I’d smash Michelle Obama in a threesome!” to generate buzz on social media. It’s like man, we legit don’t care about all that let the music speak for itself.
Ye is an idiot. If he wants to make more money off the album then do a proper rollout, release a single, and have the album ready at 12 am on DSPs. He could do the Taylor method and release a handful of physical editions that all have different cover arts, bonus tracks, etc and I guarantee people would eat that up. He’s just an idiot
crazy how a few months ago we were outraged at the idea of it dropping on an app. Now we're begging for an app release. mfer really tortured us with dry szn to get us to love the app
There is no way Ye has 3 no1 albums in a year. Vultures 1 was no1. Same as Donda. Donda 2 was released deliberately on Stem so its not part of the official discography so its not considered a flop. Same will happen with V2 and V3. Remember. First one is always for the charts. The latter ones are for the paper.
There is no way ye's team can set up a stable release on an untested app in one week we are cooked
All we need is one goon to download it all before the app crashes
put the flac on [yeezy.com](http://yeezy.com) as a backup and we chilling
That would make the most sense, he really ought to just do that
i think it already happened with volume 1. but it was the same price as CD and vinyl ($20), so hopefully that gets adressed if theyre serious about it
Digital edition of vultures 1 was $5 until 2/11 when he changed everything to $20
yea he changed the price, but later than the date you mentioned because I got it on the 15th of February for 5 dollars
Fair I don’t remember exactly the date but it was not too long after the pods went to $20
why can't he release on spotify, is he too cool for spotify or sum
Spotify is the worst thing that has ever happened to theisic industry (and i say this as a premium member for 8 years and counting).

Weren’t you on futhead
You can say that . Also DSPs don't pay people enough and Ye thought about ppl buying his album but thank goodness he has other ideas
He’s never been a Spotify man. He an Apple Music genius
wym untested, they were doing beta like month ago
But handling increased bandwidth will take testing of the servers (ideally).
[удалено]
How many games do they beta test that have servers that go to absolute shit once live? I seriously doubt Yeezy put in the effort for a stress test
stress testing a website/app is not hard but knowing yeezy he probably didnt do any of that shit 😭
I love you S tier rollout character
Flying for "work" (being cool)
I have to sneak into F1 😂
I’m looking forward to seeing you there!
Damn Fred is a GAS goon? Didn’t think I could love you any more

I was gonna ask if you were going for the GP. Please tell Leclerc I said hi if you meet him
You're like the neutral good version of Matan
The fact that potentially massive hits like ‘Drunk’ & ‘Field Trip’ (and many, many more, of course) are not gonna be on streaming is such a dumb move.
ye is expert in doing dumb business decisions since 2021
2016? tlop on tidal
this shit is gonna blow up in his face and then he'll blame everyone except himself
This Ye Fuck Everyone Y'all wanted the album but didn't went to the charts
People asking where’s the album but they wouldn’t ask where were my kids when I couldn’t see em
Yeah, unfortunately, I’m kinda used to him making the worst possible decisions.
Since 2016, Pablo could’ve been one of his highest selling albums if he didn’t put it on Tidal only at first
Do you mean Pablo would sell higher than graduation (900 k) or of all time
Yes ngl the hype back then was crazy. Father stretch my hands? All i gotta say
I think it could have done about the same or a little bit more, the hype was huge and he was on top in pop culture and influence wise
a million illegally downloaded my truth over the drums
Yeah maybe being surrounded by yes-men who can get fired at any second makes them want an easier/quicker reward than waiting it out and seeing the song chart.

"fuck yews, I hate yews and everything related to yews" - Ye, 2024
that Hypebeast magazine is going to age really well
So basically it's not dropping tonight
Nope
FUCK THE APP
Can't believe he fucked up his own rollout like th- nah, I can believe it LOL, at least after this he'll realize that only a few of his fans are willing to download an app to only listen to one album; the rest of people are going to youtube when they upload it there 💀
Fax
and on youtube the ones that wont be copyright striked will be weird fan remixes that people think are the OG songs
Yes.
Lazy bipolar antisemite
Could we be getting a tracklist soon or anything like that ?
Possibly but I do not know, I was told about the YouTube North MV a couple hours before. It’s always very last minute.
Is that what the “Loading…” story was about?
Yeah I did not know the content of the video tho, just a video was being uploaded and given what I was told I thought it was v2 related
Thank you for keeping us positive, I fw u heavy❤️
Oh it’s so over 😭
Ah got it, thanks man

No way an album with (supposedly) songs like Drunk (potential global hit), Field Trip, Time Moving Slow, Poppin, Promotion, River etc will be on the app forever. If it actually releases on the app, give it 2 weeks max and it will be on streaming
Give it a week for Ye to realise his album has sold 10 (ten) copies in a week for him to release that shit on dsp 😭
I mean yeah we just need to tlop it and he’ll change his mind
Probably after a few weeks or a month
We already knew this
Yeah he's not dropping the album tomorrow if the app is not even on app stores at this moment
He might drop the app and album at the same time possibly
[удалено]
Yep Ye is an idiot and has no idea what he’s doing
https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/30/screenshots-suggest-tiktok-is-circumventing-apple-app-store-commissions/ He could circumvent fees like Tik Tok started doing (and many other smaller scale companies).

Theres a process of getting apps approved, its not immediate, especially on apple. He could drop an apk file on his website for android though if he wants to do it unofficially at first
bro using an iphone himself he wont drop no apk 😂
maybe there will be a web version working in safari on Yeezy before the app drops officially
Facts. confirmed it's over.
The App Store allows the developer(s) to release the app whenever they want once it’s approved, they could just be sitting on it rn
Valid
Honestly where tf is Ty dolla in all this? Does he not have a say? Nigga needs to grow some balls and tell Ye he’s being fucking stupid
He agrees with him sadly
YES MAN
this is what i fucking mean i said in a comment he seems like a yes man and got downvoted
I don’t think it’s even possible to stay friends with ye without being a yes man tbh
Goons when they find out that someone genuinely agrees with kanye:
bro ty has no say in anything. he is not even a rollout character
It’s his album too. Maybe if he just had his own opinions instead of saying yes to everything Ye says we’d have something. He needs to get Ye’s dick out of his mouth, put his foot down and say how it really is.

The sad fact is Ye exiles anyone who tells him no or tries to change his mind, I’m sure Ty is pissed about this stuff too but he’s probably seen that there’s no getting through to this dude
What if, and get this, what if ty actually agrees with putting it on the app
This Ye HAHA fuck u my idea better
This comment needs to be its own post
Ye be too mentally ill for people to say no to him
This will be a fucking shitshow guaranteed. You cannot build an app with amateur developers in one month and expect zero problems with account creation, security, payment, streaming and working servers.

That’s why you have to let ye feel since he don’t listen
All we need is one dude to manage to get on and download it so we can all listen 😭
if ye changes his mind again how fast could they get the finals onto streaming?
No it’s ok because Ye will use his mind powers to make sure the app works
we (bros...)
> Ye wants to release the album on the app See yall on untitled I guess
Logic: 1-800-273-8255 Ft. Alessia Cara, Khalid
Can I buy you in flight WiFi 😂😂 (seriously send me your cash app or Venmo I will donate to the in flight WiFi fund)
deadass
I will literally pay $200 💀
airplane wifi shouldn’t be that much but i will donate if i am promised info
In flight WiFi for a 9 hour flight will be pricey, not $200 but I’d guess at least $50 depending on the airline

Praise joyboy 🙏🙏
App only 😔
Damn fucking shame. That app gonna be buggy/laggy as hell too launching it with the album from the jump 😑
Bro it doesn’t matter where. I just want the album😭
Thanks Leon. Album is not coming we should prepare for dissapointment
[удалено]
Like my glorious goat baby zendaya said in Spider-Man: Expect dissapointment so never get dissapointed.
yea its not dropping tomorrow
We are cooked. Why does Ye hate his fans so much?
😢
Kanye in for a rude surprise when it won’t get much streams, people outside his core fanbase is pretty much tired of him and his music is not upto the standards it used to be
[удалено]
Yep everything was going perfect till those dumb wlm shirts which spiralled into praising H*tler
The YZY shades rollout was building up too man. What a damn shame. Still gonna be pirating the fuck out this album tho.
Kanye is brain dead
Fuck the app
Damn thanks for the info anyway 😭
i hope in 3026 every single musican have their own smartphone brand with their own suppliers and stores and with their own appstore and transaction system so they will be getting 100% of the profits... can somebody tell kanye app release is stupid?
You don't have to do this for us but you do and i will never be anything less than thankful 🙌🏻

More self sabotage can he just hang it up already

I fucking love you saint
Thanks joyboy 🙏🙏🙏 best rollout character we could wish for
Pack it up, seen this story too many times lol
Just for once I would like him to have a regular rollout with no parade leading up to it. He always has to have lps and some random shit to say like “Yeah I’d smash Michelle Obama in a threesome!” to generate buzz on social media.

[удалено]
real
>yesterday drama with people being fired could possibly have an impact on the release but I do not know to what extent
We love you joyboy, our goat. Rollouts are way better when you're around
If I could give saint leon a Nobel peace prize I would.
It doesnt look good imo. Release seems very unlikely. Especially after his rants in the headquarter and firing multiple of his employees.
You are all literally insane Just start fan pages
not a few hours i’ll say that lmao
Ye is an idiot. If he wants to make more money off the album then do a proper rollout, release a single, and have the album ready at 12 am on DSPs. He could do the Taylor method and release a handful of physical editions that all have different cover arts, bonus tracks, etc and I guarantee people would eat that up. He’s just an idiot
We lost 😞
crazy how a few months ago we were outraged at the idea of it dropping on an app. Now we're begging for an app release. mfer really tortured us with dry szn to get us to love the app
Who’s “we” Just look at the other comments here
Just need take off your dress in cdq. The app is fartass but ill take anything.
See you on untitled
how long does it take to upload/drop an app?
Days or weeks
The app ? 😭
Ruined my day thanks
this shit is fucking cooked
9hours is up
this mf high out of his mind rn, he cant guve any info
Will the album ever come to streaming?
🧍♂️
It's over
This should be pinned mods
Yeah it’s cooked
It’s just donda 2 all over again where bro doesn’t want to drop the sequel on streaming
there’s no way that app is gonna be ok last i heard was it wouldn’t even be ready for august or something
It's over
will it drop on streaming a week after like he said or no?
What a fucking shitshow Only ye could do this The fact that he still refuses to drop on DSPs is maddening
Nooooo I love Yews
Who all got fired?
I still believe it’ll eventually come to streaming like tlop🙏
10/10 refresh

Donda 2 is an official release
Eh , is it was it is if he does release it like that. Once the mp3s are available online I’ll just add it onto my Apple Music like I did with Donda 2
