Pushbacks happen all the time, thats nothing new. Other artists don't attempt to make them into "life changing" events, and then drop the ball. I doubt its the pushback itself.....its really about all the extra curricular BS. He should have just kept it quiet, played some (not all) of the new tracks at the show......then set a reasonable date. Thats how it should have been hyped. Kanye out here shooting free throws like DeAndre Jordan.
The album drops when it drops. Whether he drops it today, tomorrow, a few months down the line makes no difference to me. There is plenty of good music to listen to/catch up on.......
The silver-lining here, is that he has now written the "how not to" manual when it comes to dropping a release. Any artist regardless of genre, should heed the situation as a lesson on not how to go about business.
Besides, from what others have stated, the album is nothing special anyways. The Taylor Swift line is an example of how he has possibly regressed a an artist. What he really should be rapping about is current events, fatherhood, how he's changed from College Dropout till this point in time....but he would rather babble on about BS and his wifes sex tape.
