Why is Kanye blatantly contradicting previous statements he's made regarding the album's due date?

Nine days ago, Kanye said that the album must be submitted to the label in two days. Seven days later, on the day that he revealed the 'banned' album cover, he said that it was his last day to finish the album. Today, he said that he's working on his 33rd mix of "All of the Lights." His word should mean something, so why does he keep making himself look like a liar? Also, how is this shit still not finished if it's to be shipped to stores for a nationwide release on November 22nd? Is he power tripping? The final mixes obviously won't be featured in the "Runaway" film that MTV and BET have to already have in their possession.

Kanye is notorious for having multiple mixing engineers, like Stronger had about 8 mixing engineers until Manny finished it. He should hire Bruce and get it finished in one shot :dno:

Most mixing engineers especially have too many formulas and it isn't about the music. They just throw everything on track. Mixing is so critical, it's how your tracks or album is being presented. Of course Kanye would care, I wonder if he goes to the mastering sessions as well

The mixing done on Drake's Miss Me was horrible....Drake's voice was waaay too loud and the beat was waaaaay too low....

Hey that was 40 I think, yeah mixing engineers don't even use VU meters or any metering what so ever. It's sad really, they are like amateurs using a $500,000 recording studio

Well who ever did it did a horrible job...At first I thought it was just the leaked version but then I heard the final version I was like WTF???

It's so bad like 98% of mixes on a lot of CDs. I'll give you some mixing engineers that mix very good like Tony Maserati, Alan Sides, Eddie Kramer, Bruce Swedien (who I got taught by), I like Manny Marroquin, he was the final mixing engineer on Stronger

Stronger was mastered beautifully....who did the mastering for The-Dream's Love King because that person did a wonderful job...You can hear every instrument and the drums go hard....

Hmm I'm not sure, probably a mastering engineer from Sterling Sound.
