No matter what Kanye West says on social media, at the end of the day it all comes down to the music. If his next album, which is set to drop tomorrow, delivers, then it will be much easier for people to forget all the controversy he's been accumulating over the past few months.
There hasn't been a ton of information about the project from Kanye yet, aside from a tentative title and cover and some partial tracklists, but unless his poopty-scoopty anthem "Lift Yourself" appears on the album, we have yet to hear anything music related about the project.
However, according to G.O.O.D. Music-signed spoken word artist Malik Yuself, we should be in the market for something incredible. When asked by a fan last night whether he had been to Wyoming to hear Kanye's new album, Malik not only confirmed his involvement in the project, but spoke highly of its quality as well.
"Our best shit 2 date," Malik wrote.
That's a pretty bold claim, considering the history between the two. Kanye is a collaborator, and Malik has contributed to several of his projects, including 808's & Heartbreak, Yeezus, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Life of Pablo. For him to say that this new project is better than all of those is exciting news indeed.
Kanye is supposedly hosting a listening party for his new album in Wyoming some time today, so hopefully we'll have some more information about the project by then.
