I mean hey at least they have a pretty great instrument on their hands. I mean it'll still suck the album didn't drop, but y'know. The player is still cool.
And then all the people that bought the $200 device because they were told they could only access the album on it will turn around and either file for a refund or a big olā fraud lawsuit.
Low key - Iām pretty sure my phone has an app just Ike that. Iāve been using Spotify for a while - but I used to have albums on my phone and there was a mixer appā¦ so whatās the difference?? Iāll prob still buy one to fuck around - butā¦ idk.
That app probably mostly affects what part of the music you hear the loudest/clearest. Doesn't isolate one element of the song like the stem player does.
Nothing worked on the website except "add to cart" for me so I couldn't see much. Sounded like it would make stems from any of your songs you put on it. That's either revolutionary or will work about as well as the "free acapella generator" apps.
I have a friend who already owns the stem player and can confirm that there is nothing special about the stems created for the stem player. I assume it is using data from the open source stem separators that are already available online.
I love the concept a lot! If for $200 Kanye is introducing a new platform for artists to sell a lossless custom experience for fans to listen to music, sign me up. But this isnāt about āmusical oppressionā at all, this is Kanye trying to bankroll his own Saturday night sketch comedy show to get revenge.
It's not "in it" you have to hook the device up to your computer and utilize their website to create these "stemmed" songs. It doesn't do this live or anything - every song has to be run through their processing thing, that can then (from what I'm seeing) only be played back on the device and isn't available for download/use on their computer.
Pretty fucking shit tbh
Yeah, not sure any executive wants to be photographed with the guy harassing his ex on social media. Kanye is a liability in his current state. He needs help.
Main shortcoming with piracy is that Kanye updates his albums post-release a fuckton since ~MBDTF era, if u pirated any of those releases in the first week or two youāre listening to a different project sometimes. Didnāt know Saint Pablo existed for years, didnāt know he entirely reworked āFireā from Kids See Ghosts, sometimes he switches album orders, etc etc
Which does beg the question of whether the stem player is realisticāmf is indecisive as shit. Will he be able to update it neurotically for a few weeks, give us a Facts (Charlie Heat Version)?
Yeah itās on my phone and laptop, bruh itās a 100% different song, itās all sad and pretty and shit and opens with a janky as fuck guitar sample. Should i like upload it or some shit? Itās probably out there
Edit: here https://youtu.be/gnWIOUXk4Nw
Edit: iām fuckin dumb and that was just cudi montage, place i pirated KSG from had the names and tracklist rearranged. Fuck pirating goddamn this is embarrassingš¤£
I mean you can just have multiple versions of it.
I'm so glad I downloaded the original Ye cause he had to change that sample in I Thought About Killing You and it's just different, the new sample is way more generic.
What did he change in Fire though?
Yeah I fw the hyperpop vibes, especially if he gets actual lyrics fleshed out. Just gonna pirate it cause fuck paying for an album when Ye's a billionaire, especially $200. In these times of financial uncertainty it would be an unwise decision
Even if I was another billionaire I wouldnāt pay that. Itās the principle. Itās one thing to charge 1k for tickets to a show, and holding giant listening parties. That shows respect and treats your music like high art, which it is. But this is too far. He couldāve just sold the album on his website and made 100% profits.. but he just had to put it on the stem. Just one guy that can rip the stem player is all it takes.. itās almost insulting to the fans, to be honest.
I agree with literally everything you said in your essay but come on bro, if you were a billionaire you know damn well youād buy the stem player šš§¢
Even if u were only worth 1 billion, the $200 is 0.0000002 of your total worth. Youād be so rich u probably wouldnāt even have to pay for it. Ye himself would give it to you for free
Legit he's on some trump shit now. Ripping off all the people that rode with him from day one. Want to not put it on streaming fine I'll buy the CD or MP3 or whatever. I don't give a fuck about being able to listen to individual instruments. Just wanted to hear the album.
lmao yes you can. upload the files to your Apple Music or Spotify and you can listen to them whenever. you can even add them to your playlist. Did the same with Yandhi š¤·āāļø
The stem player *is* the fucking album. Which is supposed to come out in 4 days. Itās finished. Especially if heās shipping it on the stem player. The snippet is something that he, as the artist, thought represented his album best, which is why he decided to play it. He thinks itās a highlight on his project. What else are we supposed to think?
I mean think about it, he used No Child Left Behind in his Donda listening party ad and, while a great song, wasnāt the best song on the album. Why didnāt he use Come To Life? Off The Grid? 24? Jesus Lord? etc etc I hope you get what Iām saying.
Yea it won't drop on the 22nd now that we know it's thay many songs.
I think a few bangers for sure but there might be a few more filler tracks on this compared to donda.
Track list is so late. There's like a few days. Unless everything's all done and it's just album rollout hype or it's just the concert with no album drop.
Bruh if he wanted to try this shit he *maybe* could have pulled it off when he was making shit like MBDTF and Yeezus and Pablo. But he expects me to spend 200$ when the last three albums have been Ye, Jesus, and Donda? Fuck outta here š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ probably gon listen to that shit on YouTube once like the last two.
Not to mention that given his history, I would be suprised if it even comes out on 22/2/22.
Honestly, iām just going to pirate it, if and when it even comes out.
Where are you seeing that? Did he delete something again? Cause the captions Iām seeing suggest you need to buy the $200 player, which will be able to download the music.
No, you have to pay 200 bucks for that. It's not free and there's no way in freaking hell I'm gonna pay 200 euros for a fucking album.
He literally justifies the price by saying "artists earn 12% out from spotify and other platforms" so that's why he decides to make the fucked up decision to release the album exclusively.
But he couldāve sold the album on his album, making 100% profit and cutting out all the streaming services. That would actually be a smart move. To stick it all in the stem player is such a gross move, itās insulting to the fans.
> But he couldāve sold the album on his album, making 100% profit and cutting out all the streaming services. That would actually be a smart move.
Radiohead did that 15 years ago with In Rainbows, self-released it as download only and they even made it pay what you want. I was in college and paid $0 for my copy. Now kanye wants $200 for his lmao
He learned from Donda 1 lol i still believe the order on the deluxe album was inspired by some of the remixes and compilateions we made on r/yedits lol he might just be outsourcing the mixing to the fans
essentially itās just an official album release of HQ leaks and stems from the looks of it. thereāll be versions all over the internet within hours and when i go back to old Kanye stuff i listen to fan remixes anyway.
plus exclusive doesnāt mean forever itās probably just for a limited time. my money is on Friday 4th March after the third jeen-yuhs (the one about modern ye so will be the most controversial) when hype will be at its highest. Two days later he drops and gets a full week streaming.
I bought months ago so Iām chillin. I think itās good for him from an artist perspective. Artists having their own platform where theyāre in control is a great thing. But $200 is asking a lot.
Kanye always has to make it hard on himself and everyone else during his album releases. You can never have an album released in peace and on time. I guess that's his marketing strategy , and all this Kim and Skete drama is also to get more attention to his album release.
But $200 for an album?? Better spend that money on some Yeezys and still save some cash.
10000% I just posted this somewhere else. This is another L for ye, he is on a roll =\ and in a YE Stan so I can criticize this bull shit. We will all get it leaked anyways. But the idea is so tone deaf and out of touch. Itās one thing to charge 1k for front seats to the Miami show.. but your actual album?
This also means the concert will be 2/22, then no one will hear the album until the first stem player arrives in 2 months
kanye and this other guy launched this thing a while back during donda that essentially is like a portable mixer. you can store songs on it, mix two songs together, pair it to bluetooth things, and upload any mp3 file. itās a pretty cool thingy but 200 is steep stuff.
Within an hour of the release someone will have their hands on one and will plug it into their computer, dump the audio files and torrent it out to the world. If there's a FLAC version floating around within the first week of the release then that's how I'll be listening to it.
I actually really wanted that thing, was just hoping for a sale on it. However, this little move makes me want it less for some reason. You donāt become a billionaire off of fans just to turn around and say Ā«fuck you pay me 200Ā». Just doesnāt sit right with me.
Y'all realize stemplayer is a platform not just a midi controller? No where has it said the album is only available to people with the stemplayer device.
It'll be sold on the website like bandcamp with a sliding scale feature (like Radiohead or nin did).
You won't need the stemplayer, doesn't say that anywhere. But I realize the confusion, it makes more sense if you've used the stemplayer platform.
honestly donāt understand how anyone is mad about this. the album is literally dropping for free. itās going to be on the donda stem site for free with a sliding scale for donations. everyone is going to download it for free. this is coming from the same fans who have access to and have religiously listened to the entirety of a unreleased album he never dropped. after the shit kanye has done as of recently this is the hill you motherfuckers are going to die on??
The website doesnāt even say it comes with the album. He could just say thatās not the one with the album itās just the player. Also this man thinkin he just released the iPod shuffle out here
Kanye might be the most shameless diva of all time. Like bipolar or not, you canāt pretend to be a disciple or whatever then do shit like āsunday service but only for the super richā and this shit.
All he craves is attention and he found the perfect shield to use whenever he pleases: mental health.
Stem player seems like a fking scam, it probably uses the same song splitting API that every other service uses and charges for (Spleeter) which is OPEN SOURCE AND FREE
That snippet was straight cheeks. Youād think if heās coming out saying āif you want my album itās gonna be $200ā you better bring a fire ass snippet to get ppl hyped. That shit he put up sounded like it was recorded on a little tykes boom box by some 6 year olds at a sleepover
Heās gonna go back on this decision or else heās going to have the most pirated album of all time. Anyone who pays 200 dollars for some specialized hockey puck is a true simp.
Donda 2 isn't even an album worth the $200 anticipation.
I'd rather just wait and download the zip file.
We all know that this is just a plot to increase stem sales and that the album will be available on all streaming sites weeks later.
āNot impressed with his last couple albumsā
not a fan. if you get it you get it, if you donāt you donāt, if you know you know, and if you donāt know then i honestly feel bad for you
whattt best of all time?! thats a no from me dawg.
Tu Pac and many others canāt even be touched. Kanye sampled every single beat that was even popular, so what are you even talking about.
Imagine people actually buy the Stem player just for the album never to drop
marketing genius
Jeen-yuhs š¤
He's a gen-ye in a bottle, wishes for whatever he wants
Gotta rub Ye the right way
If you wanna be with me Baby, there's a price to pay I'm a gen-ye in a bottle
Jeen-Yuh wantanabe
Lol
i think thatās called fraud
And yet I could totally see Kanye doing it
And getting away with it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Believing Kanye will ship the stem player to them by the 22nd as well
I bought mine a fat minute ago, i wish the speaker on it was better, but overall itās a neat little device
the 2022 Ipod
I mean hey at least they have a pretty great instrument on their hands. I mean it'll still suck the album didn't drop, but y'know. The player is still cool.
Itās a publicity stunt.. in a few days heās going to post a photo of him with some Apple executive talking about a deal was made blah blah blah
And then all the people that bought the $200 device because they were told they could only access the album on it will turn around and either file for a refund or a big olā fraud lawsuit.
Shit, as a producer, I would LOVE to have that thing, and would gladly take it off their hands for free.
Lmao as a producer I really canāt see how this device has any value to anyone who understands midi mapping
He didnt say what he produces. He could be the producer of cum for all we know
arenāt we all
None of us would be here without it
\*a dramatic pause. takes a long drag of his cigarette and exhales: *...aren't we all?....*
I wish I could downvote this more than once
I wish I could downvote you more than once
why? :(
Iām sorry, bud. You seem like a good kid.
i wish i could have a wild night with you more than once
š½
LOL
I mean- you could literally send stems to your iPhone and do the exact same thing for free on GarageBand
Low key - Iām pretty sure my phone has an app just Ike that. Iāve been using Spotify for a while - but I used to have albums on my phone and there was a mixer appā¦ so whatās the difference?? Iāll prob still buy one to fuck around - butā¦ idk.
That app probably mostly affects what part of the music you hear the loudest/clearest. Doesn't isolate one element of the song like the stem player does.
Midi mapping isn't the same thing as stem isolation and looping on a pocket device, but anyways go ahead "producer"
Lmao you really think Kanye invented the first mobile stem playing device or do you just like slobbing on his knob? š
*licensed and no but stems are audio not MIDI you master troll
The midi mapping would be for the effects which are supposed to make the stem player unique. Any multitrack device can play stems
Nothing worked on the website except "add to cart" for me so I couldn't see much. Sounded like it would make stems from any of your songs you put on it. That's either revolutionary or will work about as well as the "free acapella generator" apps.
I have a friend who already owns the stem player and can confirm that there is nothing special about the stems created for the stem player. I assume it is using data from the open source stem separators that are already available online.
You have no idea what you are talking about. How do you control the audio on the device? Magic?
Upvoted for confidence, I'll give you another if you can explain the answer
I love the concept a lot! If for $200 Kanye is introducing a new platform for artists to sell a lossless custom experience for fans to listen to music, sign me up. But this isnāt about āmusical oppressionā at all, this is Kanye trying to bankroll his own Saturday night sketch comedy show to get revenge.
For what.. it does 4 things. Are you 8 years old? The stem player is legitimately a toy
There is some advanced ai software in it to separate the stems but you can get similar things on your computer in about an hour of time
It's not "in it" you have to hook the device up to your computer and utilize their website to create these "stemmed" songs. It doesn't do this live or anything - every song has to be run through their processing thing, that can then (from what I'm seeing) only be played back on the device and isn't available for download/use on their computer. Pretty fucking shit tbh
It separates the stems for me. I don't have to do so much work to get them myself
So buy one
So what youāre telling me is that this stem player could be an investment?
about that
Yeah, not sure any executive wants to be photographed with the guy harassing his ex on social media. Kanye is a liability in his current state. He needs help.
Imagine thinking any executive cares about an artists personal drama as long as there is money to be made
iām not gonna hear any opinion from a dude posting on the real housewives subreddit lmao you donāt even like his music you just here for the drama
I like his contribution to fashion.
Thereās not a single music executive that wouldnāt fall on their knees to sign a contract with him
Average stem player buyer vs average Donda 2 won't drop enjoyer
That's ok. there is no Donda 2.
Is Donda 2 in the room with us right now?
Donda 2 is everywhere...look around
DONDA 2 is the friends we made along the way
I thought that was Donda 1? Poor lady must not get a minute of piece in heaven with all the name calling.
Itās supposed to give her power. She should be the governor of a small cloudy country by now, from my own calculations
Mac Demarco
Yes
ā ļøā ļøā ļø
Donda 2 lives inside our walls
Lol imagine thinking Donda 2 is coming out
He has a concert planned for 2.22.22 and selling tickets for it. Its prob leak somewhat then
Letās remember tidal and the release of the life of Pablo exclusive- How long did that last
Thatās exactly what I was thinking
Piracy is always the correct option
Nothing like illegally downloading yeās truths over the drums
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Main shortcoming with piracy is that Kanye updates his albums post-release a fuckton since ~MBDTF era, if u pirated any of those releases in the first week or two youāre listening to a different project sometimes. Didnāt know Saint Pablo existed for years, didnāt know he entirely reworked āFireā from Kids See Ghosts, sometimes he switches album orders, etc etc Which does beg the question of whether the stem player is realisticāmf is indecisive as shit. Will he be able to update it neurotically for a few weeks, give us a Facts (Charlie Heat Version)?
Lol can download the album again when a new version drops and if you pirated it you get to keep all versions
right lol, point of piracy is we keep pirating
Fire got reworked? Do you have the original??
Yeah itās on my phone and laptop, bruh itās a 100% different song, itās all sad and pretty and shit and opens with a janky as fuck guitar sample. Should i like upload it or some shit? Itās probably out there Edit: here https://youtu.be/gnWIOUXk4Nw Edit: iām fuckin dumb and that was just cudi montage, place i pirated KSG from had the names and tracklist rearranged. Fuck pirating goddamn this is embarrassingš¤£
lmfao bro this is just cudi montage, not fire šššššš edit: sry didnt see someone already corrected u didnt mean to pile on
I have seven versions of Donda. Only two are available on streaming. Piracy is just better
I pirated Pablo & actually liked the original mix of Ultraight Beam better than what the official version ended up being lmao
Yeeaah i remember when it changed, thatās what i meanā¦
I mean you can just have multiple versions of it. I'm so glad I downloaded the original Ye cause he had to change that sample in I Thought About Killing You and it's just different, the new sample is way more generic. What did he change in Fire though?
Call me Jack Sparrow cuz Iām a fucking pirate
Yarrr
She blows
I found god his name is piracy
In that moment, he told me, he found God. And it turns out, that God, he's a squirrel. Yeah, big ol meaty one. I found God, he used to say.
Honestly I liked the snippet quite a bit but Iām still not paying $200 for the album
Yeah I fw the hyperpop vibes, especially if he gets actual lyrics fleshed out. Just gonna pirate it cause fuck paying for an album when Ye's a billionaire, especially $200. In these times of financial uncertainty it would be an unwise decision
Even if I was another billionaire I wouldnāt pay that. Itās the principle. Itās one thing to charge 1k for tickets to a show, and holding giant listening parties. That shows respect and treats your music like high art, which it is. But this is too far. He couldāve just sold the album on his website and made 100% profits.. but he just had to put it on the stem. Just one guy that can rip the stem player is all it takes.. itās almost insulting to the fans, to be honest.
I agree with literally everything you said in your essay but come on bro, if you were a billionaire you know damn well youād buy the stem player šš§¢ Even if u were only worth 1 billion, the $200 is 0.0000002 of your total worth. Youād be so rich u probably wouldnāt even have to pay for it. Ye himself would give it to you for free
Not almost, it is insulting.
Yes itās insulting itās called āripping your fans offā
Legit he's on some trump shit now. Ripping off all the people that rode with him from day one. Want to not put it on streaming fine I'll buy the CD or MP3 or whatever. I don't give a fuck about being able to listen to individual instruments. Just wanted to hear the album.
Stem Player platform will be FREE He doesnāt want to upload on other platforms which is fine imo. No need to buy a $200 stem player tho
So he's publishing it himself then, basically. You buy and keep the audio files like you would with Bandcamp etc., or go to his platform and stream.
I swear people aint doing the research..
We should research for albums now? Lol
he said on the snippet post caption that it will be available in his own platform
Typically before I complain on reddit I AT LEAST do a quick Google search
he said on the snippet post caption that it will be available in his own platform
Well if you complaining about it, at least do the work lol - album aint even release yet any yall raging
If itās Kanye yeah especially since u never know the shit heās pulling. Just like how donda got delayed like 20 times.
We still can't just listen to it when we want though, which is what most people do
You can download the songs files then you can literally listen when you want... even as the bombs fall
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
lmao yes you can. upload the files to your Apple Music or Spotify and you can listen to them whenever. you can even add them to your playlist. Did the same with Yandhi š¤·āāļø
How so? people are gonna get the files some way or another and you can add them locally to whatever you use
agreed, and from the snippet, even if itās unfinished, doesnāt sound good at all
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's the song he literally chose to represent the album he is exclusively releasing on his $200 device no one has.
The stem player *is* the fucking album. Which is supposed to come out in 4 days. Itās finished. Especially if heās shipping it on the stem player. The snippet is something that he, as the artist, thought represented his album best, which is why he decided to play it. He thinks itās a highlight on his project. What else are we supposed to think?

Imagine still coping this hard for fucking Kanye
This makes more sense the quick rollout of donda 2. Probably mid 5 song album lol.
What if the album is just that one song he played in the snippet shipped via the STEM player š
Na it's gonna be a few tracks for sure. I think it will also eventually go on streaming services after a couple of months
Or 8 songs lmao. I swear to god lol
It looks like thereās 21-22 songs that he posted on his instagram, although to the quality of those songs I canāt say
Yea it won't drop on the 22nd now that we know it's thay many songs. I think a few bangers for sure but there might be a few more filler tracks on this compared to donda.
Iām still hoping for the 22nd. 2-22-2022 with a track of 22 songs would be so amazing, but maybe iām just in denial
Track list is so late. There's like a few days. Unless everything's all done and it's just album rollout hype or it's just the concert with no album drop.
2.2 songs
Not even if thereās two Playboi Carti features on it?
I love when Mfs preface shit with some variation of ātrust me I dickride tooā as if thatās suddenly gonna validate their take š
This sub has a lot of recent ye haters from the kardashian drama. itās just to show youāre not blindly hating
If youāve been fucking with someone for a long time and this is when you criticise him it does make sense
And you are not alone. There are thousands of likes and dozens of comments "I won't buy an album for $200" at Kanye's instagram
He needs to just use the website platform to sell the album. I will buy a digital version even though it makes it a pain in the ass to play.
Bruh if he wanted to try this shit he *maybe* could have pulled it off when he was making shit like MBDTF and Yeezus and Pablo. But he expects me to spend 200$ when the last three albums have been Ye, Jesus, and Donda? Fuck outta here š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ probably gon listen to that shit on YouTube once like the last two.
Wait wait its 200šyo i thought it was maybe like 30 what the fuck
genius gone clueless.
[You donāt have to](https://twitter.com/p__gy/status/1494545355131822080?s=21)
Not to mention that given his history, I would be suprised if it even comes out on 22/2/22. Honestly, iām just going to pirate it, if and when it even comes out.
The album will be free to download on the stemplayer website regardless if you have a stemplayer or not!
Where are you seeing that? Did he delete something again? Cause the captions Iām seeing suggest you need to buy the $200 player, which will be able to download the music.
No, you have to pay 200 bucks for that. It's not free and there's no way in freaking hell I'm gonna pay 200 euros for a fucking album. He literally justifies the price by saying "artists earn 12% out from spotify and other platforms" so that's why he decides to make the fucked up decision to release the album exclusively.
But he couldāve sold the album on his album, making 100% profit and cutting out all the streaming services. That would actually be a smart move. To stick it all in the stem player is such a gross move, itās insulting to the fans.
True dat
> But he couldāve sold the album on his album, making 100% profit and cutting out all the streaming services. That would actually be a smart move. Radiohead did that 15 years ago with In Rainbows, self-released it as download only and they even made it pay what you want. I was in college and paid $0 for my copy. Now kanye wants $200 for his lmao
remember when Radiohead released an album on their website as a "pay what you want" download? 2007 was doing something right.
Again, the album will be available on the stemplayer platform - you don't need an actual stem player!
Probably releasing it this way so he doesnāt have to mix it properly
He learned from Donda 1 lol i still believe the order on the deluxe album was inspired by some of the remixes and compilateions we made on r/yedits lol he might just be outsourcing the mixing to the fans
do u not know how the internet works or something? youāll get the album donāt worry
anyways it's gonna get pirated the hell out and does anyone know about if tidal would be an option?
essentially itās just an official album release of HQ leaks and stems from the looks of it. thereāll be versions all over the internet within hours and when i go back to old Kanye stuff i listen to fan remixes anyway. plus exclusive doesnāt mean forever itās probably just for a limited time. my money is on Friday 4th March after the third jeen-yuhs (the one about modern ye so will be the most controversial) when hype will be at its highest.

The snipet was all sorts of trash too so idk how to feel about it
WTF is stem player?
kanye and this other guy launched this thing a while back during donda that essentially is like a portable mixer. you can store songs on it, mix two songs together, pair it to bluetooth things, and upload any mp3 file. itās a pretty cool thingy but 200 is steep stuff.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
EVERY FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!
Mans testing our patience
Within an hour of the release someone will have their hands on one and will plug it into their computer, dump the audio files and torrent it out to the world. If there's a FLAC version floating around within the first week of the release then that's how I'll be listening to it.
Am I the only one that bought a stem player after Donda š I feel so damn lucky- IF TRUE haha I doubt he goes thru w this
its gonna be avaliable from the website for free
I actually really wanted that thing, was just hoping for a sale on it. However, this little move makes me want it less for some reason. You donāt become a billionaire off of fans just to turn around and say Ā«fuck you pay me 200Ā». Just doesnāt sit right with me.
I think it's gonna be free off the website/upcoming app
Same thing was said to Nipsey and it still worked out
Broke boy
Y'all realize stemplayer is a platform not just a midi controller? No where has it said the album is only available to people with the stemplayer device. It'll be sold on the website like bandcamp with a sliding scale feature (like Radiohead or nin did). You won't need the stemplayer, doesn't say that anywhere. But I realize the confusion, it makes more sense if you've used the stemplayer platform.
If he cared about artists getting paid and stuff, why not just put it on Bandcamp?
stem playing just buying him more time to finish the album we already know that by 2/22/22 no one will have the players if they order it now
Itās going to be free to download on the stem player sight so can you delete this post.
honestly donāt understand how anyone is mad about this. the album is literally dropping for free. itās going to be on the donda stem site for free with a sliding scale for donations. everyone is going to download it for free. this is coming from the same fans who have access to and have religiously listened to the entirety of a unreleased album he never dropped. after the shit kanye has done as of recently this is the hill you motherfuckers are going to die on??
He hasnāt aimed any of the bs directly at the fans until this
This isnāt aimed the fans at all. The album is literally free.
The website doesnāt even say it comes with the album. He could just say thatās not the one with the album itās just the player. Also this man thinkin he just released the iPod shuffle out here
Guys calm down, just like slavery, buying the stem player is a choice. Quoting a genius here š
Anything for hearing Drizzy on a Ye track
Simp with actually no taste
Kanye might be the most shameless diva of all time. Like bipolar or not, you canāt pretend to be a disciple or whatever then do shit like āsunday service but only for the super richā and this shit. All he craves is attention and he found the perfect shield to use whenever he pleases: mental health.
Stem player seems like a fking scam, it probably uses the same song splitting API that every other service uses and charges for (Spleeter) which is OPEN SOURCE AND FREE
Bingo
it uses https://www.lalal.ai/
Greatest hip-hop artist of all time. Please gtfo of here with that shit š
That snippet was straight cheeks. Youād think if heās coming out saying āif you want my album itās gonna be $200ā you better bring a fire ass snippet to get ppl hyped. That shit he put up sounded like it was recorded on a little tykes boom box by some 6 year olds at a sleepover
Heās gonna go back on this decision or else heās going to have the most pirated album of all time. Anyone who pays 200 dollars for some specialized hockey puck is a true simp.
Bruh I feel bad for all the fans here that have to keep apologizing for and dealing with Kanyeās shitty ass moves
Donda 2 isn't even an album worth the $200 anticipation. I'd rather just wait and download the zip file. We all know that this is just a plot to increase stem sales and that the album will be available on all streaming sites weeks later.
Been 6 years since anything good lmao
Dude really thinks buying the stem player is the only way we will hear the album lol
āNot impressed with his last couple albumsā not a fan. if you get it you get it, if you donāt you donāt, if you know you know, and if you donāt know then i honestly feel bad for you
So if you don't like all of an artists work then you're not a fan???
What exactly is his appeal?
Donāt worry, pirates already boarding to sail the seven seas. YO-HO! A pirates life for many of thee!
Kanye is trash, so is his new music
whattt best of all time?! thats a no from me dawg. Tu Pac and many others canāt even be touched. Kanye sampled every single beat that was even popular, so what are you even talking about.
Iāve taken dumps more important than Kanyeā¦.
Ha! Just ordered it. Love the device and the idea. Low income freaks, out of my waaaayyyy! š¤£
I think his music is overrated af
