New Love Glow
Those four songs were all released before the album was; the album versions are just slightly different aside from New God Flow, which is a lot different.

Wait seriously? So if I got the album when it came out I now have to get it AGAIN to have these new versions?

Like Anaranjado said, nothing has changed since the release. On Spotify, for instance, the songs have been named "_____.1" since release, which is almost a year ago now.

The songs on itunes and spotify are different tho

Little things like parts where the beat drops out different to straight up grafting john legend to the hook on sin city to taking common back off the album version of mercy

Guilt Trip and Send It Up are fuckin awesome, top 2 tracks for an album with no skips for me.

Guilt Trip is the one song that feels complete. The way the effects bubble up ever so often... And the great sample

If you are on the fence about watching this, let me put it like so: Kanye West just simulated a lynching in front of an audience of celebrities and teenagers waiting to see if/when 'NSync would reunite.

God Bless Kanye West.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

That censoring was hilarious. Somehow they managed to not censor "gently caress" and "niggas" while censoring every other word!

Awesome performance though.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I've watched every VMAs video Pitchfork posted (Kanye, Justin Timberlake/NSYNC, Drake, Daft Punk/Pharrell/Nile Rodgers, Robin Thicke/Miley Cyrus/2 Chainz/Kendrick Lamar) and they were all horribly unimpressive except for Kanye's which was loving awesome. I'm astounded that he performed a song like that with that kind of crowd around him. Dude has a hell of a stage presence, too. I'd love to see him live.

Kanye's stage moves at the VMAs could pass as a six year old's temper tantrum. He's really into his poo poo.

I like how people complain about Kanye using autotune like he's robbing you of some masterful singing performance that would've been there otherwise. He's got a bunch of passion and an endearing drive, but he can't sing and no ones expecting him to learn. That's exactly who should be using auto-tune.

Anyone have a working video of his performance? I can't find a good one and every single search term with "vma" in it is filled with Miley Cyrus videos.

Seriously, look at this:



I mean, obviously the quality is a little sketch because it's ripped off of the live performance instead of shot like a proper concert should be, but could anyone else get away with this?

That's a bit hyperbolic, no? I think there a number of performers who could, especially considering that Beyonce still exists.

Yep. The fools on KTT are calling Jay-Z as the special guest, but that leaves him a week from starting his own tour.
