“After six weeks of streaming exclusively on Tidal, the Jay-Z-backed music service, Kanye West’s latest album, ‘”The Life of Pablo,”‘ was released to other streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music,” The Associated Press report.
“The wide release comes after West tweeted in February that the album ‘will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale,'” AP reports.
“The tweet appeared to be deleted from West’s timeline as of Friday,” AP reports.

MacDailyNews Take: Smirk.
Let’s not all rush out to stream “The Life of Pablum” from this fool, m’kay?

I’m just guessing from the article that Kanye West is some kind of singer.
No, he’s not. He’s just some kind of maroon.
That would be moron.
“What a maroon!”
“… what a nin-cow-poop!” 😉
Never heard of her?
I guess that Bill Gates payday didn’t come through.
No, he’s a rapper and a self-promoter. Basically, imagine if Donald Trump was black.
-jcr
Wouldn’t listen to a word is sh– anyway no matter what service it’s on
Trump has built some buildings. Kanye has done….. ?
the life of pablo is a great album, I’m glad it’s on apple music now.
Clearly some people have forgotten what real music is about and can no longer discern aural vomit from aural gold.
great critique from someone who hasn’t even listened to the album nor has the mental capacity to enjoy any music made past the ’70s
Really? You think so eh? Typical for someone who has no idea what they’re talking about along with their craptastic corrupted music taste (cat screeching “music” downloads would be greeted as musical greatness by mentally incapacitated dimwits like you).
I have heard it actually and it did not change my opinion not one whit and only reaffirmed West as a laughable buffoon and talentless boob. And make you look a total clueless ass.
stop lying you didn’t listen to it. i’ll leave it at that since i don’t want you getting a heart attack over an internet forum.
How the f**k do you know??? I don’t give a s**t if you believe me or not. You don’t believe in anything resembling integrity and taste. I heard it and it had the same residual musical effect of what’s deposited in a cat litter box on a regular basis. You keep digging a bigger clueless hole for yourself.
What are you, 12 years old? Go home and leave the adults alone. Children should be seen and not heard.
Normally sarcasm would be an appropriate response to such painfully stupid comments, but I’m not entirely convinced HTML420 isn’t literally retarded.
But in the off chance that retardation or missing chromosomes are not involved, here is someone with a severe mental capacity shortage making money off of music from the 70’s…
Behold the treasure that is Kanye West “covering” Bohemian Rhapsody.
Just so you don’t bother Googling it, Bohemian Rhapsody was released by Queen in 1975.
There was music made after the 70’s? 😮
I have four kids. I have heard it on other Kanye stuff. Not impressed. But my younger daughter likes him.
To call him an “artist” would be a stretch.
More like a poet wannabe…🙄
Who cares…?😕
Boycott. He will never, never, never see a dime of my money or invade my ears.
Yeah I hope Kanyawn dies an ignominious career death, shot down in flames by his own considerable undeserved ego for talents most of the sane music world has yet to consider anything but aural garbage. This isn’t my Mom and Dad talking about rock ‘n roll, this is musically eclectic ‘ol me talking about knowing crappy, untalented, alleged music performers when he sees ’em. (That 60’s parental argument doesn’t fly in the 21st century.)
Hahahahaha.
He’s like a “serious artiste” or something. A typical “look at me” type. They are everywhere.
The call of money ultimately gets them. Tidal is a failure and just hasn’t realized it yet.
Tidal HiFi is great once you get past the rap/sheet.
If the call of money is what you’re into music would be the very LAST thing you’d want to do! Only a microscopically tiny proportion of musicians make a living out of their own music, and it’s certainly nothing to do with musical skill.
Hey, that is all fine but what the hell are you talking about?
Sorry TowerTone – I meant to respond to someonesmom.
Is he that karaoke singer married to the woman with the fat arse?
He doesn’t sing, he talks through scratchy record noise.
I will never ever own a Kanye West album.
Too bad most of the musical taste berefti have already downloaded his work of unlistenable fart from Pirate Bay for free.
Cockwomble
To quote Mike Bolton from the movie Office Space (which applies to Kanye West), “He is a no talented @$$ clown”
Never believe anyone unless they use four nevers.
Or, should that be never, never, never, never believe anyone unless they . . .
Grammatically, isn’t it a binary thing, so that one ‘never’ is no and two ‘never’s is yes, three is no and four is yes again…
If commas are used, then each never is an intensifier. If they aren’t used, then as you say each never is a negation of the phrase it modifies.
Ok… I concur. Also, when spoken, I would say that inflection and tone play a large part in delineating whether the intent is to invoke a counter negative.
Careful. If you use an even number of ‘never’s they will cancel each other out and there won’t be any left.😉
What has two thumbs and will never, never, never buy that album? This guy.
Just searched. I couldn’t find it on Apple Music.
Some people actually have pride being his fans and believe in ever word he spits out.
I don’t understand that. I wonder if these people are just plain STUPID! 😛
Now you know how the iHaters think about the likes of us…
…and still nobody’s buying it!
😑💤
It’s obvious that money, and money alone, has made Kanye West change his tune. He already was presumptuous, rude, and profane. Those things alone weren’t enough to damn him to cosmic insignificance, but his revealed subservience to money has.
Isn’t it amazing how stupid people are who like things we don’t like?
Spot on correct observation. 😉
It’s on Apple Music so I had a listen.
Utter tripe.
Kayne West is one of the greatest talents oaf our generation. He has pushed the limits of what an artist can achieve through pure expression of creative will. He is also a man of varied interests and he has expressed an desire to enter inside of politics, so Apple was wise to put her music onto Apple Music.
At the Republican National Convention, Kanye West will mount the stage and snatch the nomination from Donald Trump, telling him that Beyoncé should have won. The name Kanye means “the only one” in Swahili. He is the only person with more arrogance and swagger than Donald Trump.
The only reason Kanye West didn’t run for President himself was because he was informed that the President’s salary is a paltry $400,000. “Chicken feed,” he reportedly spat. “I lost that much in Vegas yesterday. Got to be more, man.” He didn’t rule out a run for the White House in 2020, however, implying that his wife Kim fancies the idea of being First Lady. “The Presidency could be a great new spinoff of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. You know, world politics is a reality show anyway so why not sponsor it and make some money?”
Wouldn’t it be brilliant if Apple had waited until he backed down and tried to put it on Apple Music, but then turned round and deleted it, saying that they were aware that he didn’t want to ever be on the Apple Store and have therefore withdrawn it from sale?
He is a legend in his own mind. He just needs to quickly fade away.
wow…. just… wow. I’ve never heard a Kanye “song” before now. Just hit a few samples online.
wow…. that is horrible.
I thought his last stint on SNL was a skit.
