sev, the Doom Starks album was supposed to come out in like 2006. It never did.

Any mixtape you have is fan-made. They have released a handful of tracks over the (holy shit!) DECADE that we've been waiting for the album. But, yeah. No album.

Yuck. That's disappointing. I kinda gleaned that from past conversations, which is why I've never paid attention to the mixtape in my library.

The Victory Lap single and remix EP's are legit though...? they must be!

Hey café,

I stumbled upon this video that I thought was going to be interesting but wasn't (read: I thought I was going to see some "artsy" porn... I didn't).

What WAS interesting was the music they play at the very beginning. Sounds familiar. Very familiar. But perhaps a remix or something of a familiar track because I can't place it, though the horns remind me of that Nicolas Jarr remix of "Blood on the Leaves".... I just can't quite say what it is.

Can anyone name the track at the beginning of this (stupid, Tn'A-less) video?

Watch the first 40 seconds or so here and tell me what you think

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to noisereductions again.

Yes. That was the general idea. Though we both agreed that it was a great album and a masterpiece in an almost objective way. It's just that we both had an easier time blasting through At.Long.Last.A$AP or Summertime '06 than TPAB.

I've come to realize how I like to hear the album... and that is on a random track by track basis, as part of a hip hop or "Best of 2015" playlist. When songs like "King Kunta" and "The Blacker the Berry" and "Mortal Man" come up against other shit, it's impossible to deny the jarring excellence of the music. I still don't listen to the album from start to finish much, but I bump individual tracks all the time.

It was just... well, you know... It was just a bit too much!!

agree totally. I heard "How Much A Dollar Cost" recently and was like "OMG this song is so great." Then I tried to listen to the album and got exhausted fast. haha.

Kanye said TLOP will remain a Tidal exclusive release forever.

louder · 02.17.2016, 01:24 PM

The OG version of TLOP is about to leak soon. 'New Angels' snippet: https://vid.me/2gfC

"NEEEEWWW ANGEEEELSS, STILL LEARNING HOW TO FLYYYY"

Wow.

I actually like this a lot more than anything on the album.

Severian · 02.17.2016, 01:27 PM

Dudes, that verse on "UltraLight Beams" has me listening to Chance like crazy. Hearing him in an entirely new way. "Juice" was such an insanely dope track. Acid Rap should have scored him a major label deal, and a massive reissue. That should have been College Dropout of the 2010's.

WHEN THE HELL IS CHANCE GOING TO DROP AN OFFICIAL LP?!?!?!!!!

Yeah I mentioned this.
He's scared of not selling records. Of not going #1 for the first time.

Fucking actin' a goddamn fool.

WHY?!?

louder · 02.17.2016, 01:31 PM

Apparently Fall Out of Heaven featuring Bon Iver and The-Dream was a thing!!! JESUS CHRIST THIS ALBUM COULD'VE BEEN SOOO MUCH BETTER.

um.... does he mean it will be a Tidal exclusive digitally, or does he mean it won't even see a retail release? Either way, I'm annoyed.

BTW, didn't Chance say a while back that he's not even really planning to make an actual album?

Yes, there will be no retail.

Besides I think he's still working on the album.. adding tweaks and shit.

louder · 02.17.2016, 01:42 PM

Either way the album is available for stream at http://www.kanyewest.com/ right now so go ahead and listen, NR! We need your opinions!!

EDIT: Nevermind those are only 30 second snippets. You can still sign up to TIDAL and get a 30 day free trial though.

noisereductions · 02.17.2016, 01:46 PM

I really don't want to sign up for a free trial and "rent" this album for 30 days. I'd like to just go pick it up at Best Buy or whatever.

Rob Instigator · 02.17.2016, 01:58 PM

BTW, the wife and I have been digging KING, so whoever suggested to check KING out, THANKS>
