Tour numbers don't even matter with respect to recent music releases, Justin Timberlake sold a million tickets for his coming tour and grossed 140m, but I can't find a single person irl who gives a s*** about the s*** he's dropping now.

the results def explains a lot in terms of Ye fans nowadays

s*** is insane to me

Kanye always wants to be at the center of attention. He knows he will not be dropping close to Beyonce bro come on lol

I became a casual fan in 2017, and I liked ye and KSG when they dropped

Genuinely don’t understand anyone who became a fan from 2019 on ward however

Like he’s given you absolutely nothing lmfao

Yeah, honestly I don't think I will be following any Ye rollouts that close anymore after Vultures. The fanbase just unbearable at this point

I became a fan in 2009, when I saw & heard Welcome To Heartbreak song and video, whole world shifted for me I'm not even kidding.

Same man who dropped on same day as 50 Cent in 2007 and wanted to drop Donda on same day as Drake until the label forced them to release it earlier.
He'll be fine lmao, plus y'all are overestimating Beyonce like crazy. This discussion would make sense if I was talking about him dropping the same week as her, he'll be fine in the second week lmao.
And if we go by the logic of not dropping when someone big is not dropping nearby then he shouldn't drop for a long ass time as like the whole release calendar is booked. Sometimes you just gotta make the big moves and take some risk.

1st example is from when Ye was a young hungry artist trying to go head to head with the hottest artist of that era/time.

2nd example isn’t true because Ye had no plans to even drop Donda anytime soon and was forced by the label to release it in the first place.

Nobody is saying he isn’t fine but a lot of people on this site don’t know marketing and strategy when it comes to release dates. Folks was getting mad at me in the Drake thread when I said he isn’t dropping when his colleagues or hot artists are dropping. The attention span isn’t as big as it used to be for double releases with artists on the same level. Ye knows Beyonce records will be shared and played more than his for those weeks.

Not to mention how much of a fan he is of Bey and will def want to tap in for more inspo

I’ve been a fan since like 2007, Stronger was everywhere and that was my s***. Then the NY Giants walked out to it at the Super Bowl I was going crazy

I used to watch the Through The Wire video on MTV in the morning before school, I downloaded the demo of All of The Lights off Bearshare and would play it everyday on repeat, MBDTF was the first album I was there to witness in real time, I remember watching the Runaway movie over and over not even sure if I liked it but I just kept being drawn to it

2nd one is not true, they deadass wanted to drop it the same day as CLB. He was just forced to drop a week earlier.

For the rest, I again don't agree at all and I don't think arguing in circles would lead to anything. So I'm done with this.

I became a fan after the Diamonds From Sierra Leone release and then became a huge fan when Grad dropped and I heard I Wonder for the first time

Do you have proof of that?

I used to cause some messages had leaked the same day as the message when he fired that engineer but that leak discord died due to copyright reports.

Tonight

Anyone thinking we are getting the album tomorrow or tonight at midnight? :​

When is their next event

ye already literally blocked from algorithms and s*** and still got #1's with this latest run so

I think the Egypt event 4/20 don’t quote me on that though

I’m hype for this one I think it’s going to be insane. I got a feeling the visuals are going to go crazy.

I would guess this is when they'll drop

to give time in between releases & other people dropping and then coming back to the spotlight

& time to actually finish the tracks

No its Future Hendrxx night tonight

taylor swif is dropping on the 19th btw

It’s actually because it’s one of the greatest albums ever made.
