1. UltraLight Beam

chance added an extra line to ULB
"No one can judge"

they re did Kirk franklins prayer and added bass right before it on ULB

---

2. FSMH Pt. 1

at 1:40 when he says "i wanna wake up with you in my beautiful morning" i swear them backup vocals werent there before 

Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1 – Background vocals added at the end @ 1:41, bass change @ 1:25

there's also piano chords added to the chorus of FSMH pt. 1, at least they're more noticeable imo

thats me on the synths bass piano horns etc. 

---

3. Pt 2:

Bassline at 1:08 onwards before desiigner goes in.

---

4. Famous
None

---

5. Feedback

Feedback has extra bass added

Feedback's beat is different. It used to flip around a lot but it stays with the same thing (the main riff) for a while until the very end. At the "ayyyy heard about the good news" there's a crazy bassline. Also at the end the drums used to cut off and just the synth things would play for a bit, but that's cut out now.

Feedback – Bass/beat changed starting @ 0:30, echo on Kanye verse starting at @ 1:47

---

6. [Low Lights]
None

---

7. Highlights

Highlights update: Kanye backup vocals during "21 Grammys" verses. He sings the hook

Yeah Highlights is mixed/mastered differently. Compared TLOP 1.0 and this version. The beat has more reverb on the clicks, everything's more tightened up and crisp. Sounds great now.

Highlights sounds so much better much more bass and kick and echo if you listen closely. it just sounds ****ing perfect AND EXTRA VOCALS. CANT WAIT FOR THE ITUNES RELEASE.

---

8. Freestyle 4

freestyle 4 has extra sounds

Freestyle 4 – Vocals clarified, weird ass noises and strings added to the background (0:46, 0:52, 1:01, 1:08, 1:16, 1:22 [what the hell was that LOL]), 1:37), bass added right before Desiigner verse @ 1:31

---

9. I Love Kanye
None

---

10. Waves

MINOR differences
- More echo when kanye says step up in this **** like/im the one your **** like
- Louder and clearer vocals
- New Chris vocals I think

Also idk if a thread was made but Fade was updated aswell

IDK Waves sounds better
Fade is now the GOAT song bc of the better sample placement

Waves – Kanye vocal effects added, bassline reworked, compression effects added

---

11. FML

Rick Rubin executive produced.

FML has backing vocals on the weeknds second hook and also more echo on kanye's first verse.

FML – Background vocals (GODLY CHOIR) @ 2:18 / extra echoes in first verse added, vocal effects added to both ye and abel, outro sounds much clearer

---

12-15
None

---

16. 30 Hours

30 hours outro is changed. Re-recorded.

accapella parts on 30 hours

I CAN CONFIRM 30 HOURS OUTRO CHANGED. He said a lot more and he condesnsed the adlibs. Which imo sucks because I had memorized his outro :( and he added snares which makes it sounds live

Both of the verses from 30 hours were rerecorded

---

17. NMPILA
None

---

18. Facts (Charlie Heat Version)

harder drums a new synth louder synths maybe new percussion

also just general mixing and cleanliness

---

19. Fade

Fade is now the GOAT song bc of the better sample placement

he got rid of those extra samples at the beginning (the ones that weren't on the og version) and turned up the bass. and it also doesn't end abruptly anymore

---

General

Rick Rubin executive produced.
