Off the Record Review: Kanye West's "The Life of Pablo" was well worth the wait
By Jack DaSilva | Feb. 17, 2016Kanye West finally released his highly anticipated album “The Life of Pablo” on Sunday. TLOP is Kanye’s seventh solo studio album in his impeccable discography. The album has been talked about a lot due to numerous album title changes, tracklisting changes and many rumors circulating with little credibility to them. Kanye first debuted several songs during his “Yeezy Season 3” fashion show, which took place in the sold out Madison Square Garden last Thursday. After his show, many news outlets got to speculating about which songs were which and tried to put together an official tracklist, with the guest features included. The album was supposed to be released last Thursday, but last minute changes delayed the project’s debut for another two days. Yeezy had been tweeting information about his album up until its release, and he even described it as a “gospel” album. We soon learned he wasn’t kidding.
