Pusha T produced by Kanye and it came out in April. Also it is kind of great.

Haha I just noticed Kanye's Twitter account has been completed wiped except for the one tweet (presumably) announcing the album release date:

https://twitter.com/kanyewest

Also he is following just one account... guess who.

"New Slaves" by Kanye West

I can't really tell in the video, but everyone is saying Frank Ocean is in the track near the end.

Not sure about the singing at the end, but everything else sounds great. I hope an official version comes out soon.

Those visuals are loving crazy. Reminds me of when Shoshanna projects herself in the movie theater at the end of Inglorious Basterds. I'd probably be freaked the gently caress out if I was just walking by a building and saw that come on.

Song sounds good, though. I'm sure the studio version sounds way better.

His last album got leaked almost in its entirety, that's what happened. I'm happy he's keeping it close to the vest this time because it means literally every track is gonna blow me away when I listen to it.

Yeah, I remember MBDTF leaking as an edited version first so it was probably an error of Amazon's that led to it's leak. Remember that Watch the Throne didn't leak and was iTunes exclusive in its early stages of release iirc. I'd expect the same for I Am God or whatever it ends up being titled.

Pretty clever releasing this way.

Project it in the real world and make it an event; An actual high-quality copy of the single never has to touch the web.

People still watch the low-quality rips and you do less damage to album sales.

I went to one of the showings. They had a pickup truck with a projector and a PA system and threw it up on a building downtown. Played it twice through. Maybe 20-30 people there. Really it was an awesome thing with such short notice. Kanye fuckin rules.

Fantastic promotional stunt

I imagine this would be a bit frightening if somebody walked by a more empty projection without knowing who Kanye was, especially given the aggressive nature of the song. The bits where he's just staring off into space are certainly a bit unsettling

It was supposed to be at the Beverly Center, not the New Beverly.

And cops shut them down almost every time in LA :(

Feeling it, hope it's emblematic of the rest of the album. Is this supposed to be what he's debuting on SNL tomorrow? I can't see him self-censoring this joint but I guess we'll see. Usually artists do two tracks on SNL too, will be interesting to see what we get.

Ha, yeah, it was funny watching people walk by and have no idea or just not care at all about the projections. Also hilariously the projector was across the street from the building so whenever a bus came by the sound got really muffled.

So this is the song sampled at the end. Hungarian classic rock seems way out of left field even for Ye.
