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

So why announce these "deadlines" if they don't mean shit? I'm familiar with the business guys, if he wants the album to come out on Nov 22, it has to be done and handed in soon.

There isn't going to be a push back. Shut up. You don't know shit about the business either btw.

He also could possibly be doing the 33rd mix on All Of The Lights because it is the next single, you know getting it ready for radio/iTunes release and such.

You clearly know what I don't know though? Also, you seem so knowledgeable when it comes to shipping a massive amount of pressed packages containg records, album art and the time contraints of doing so. I shouldve known that you wouldve schooled me on the subject.

The label is giving him deadlines because it's necessary to meet his release date. It's not unfair, they're just doing their jobs and trying to get the music where it needs to be, when it needs to be.

The only thing I want, not a film, nor a free track each week, is Kanye West's 5th studio album, the finished product to be released when he claimed that it would be. I just think he should stop contradicting himself with his public statements regarding the album we, his fans have all been waiting for and thristing for info on... it's just bad form. I don't know why Im getting such backlash all around for throwing this out there. I'm not unappreciative, he works his ass off and delivers a boatload of things for his fans, I just question his judgment on what exactly they want/need. The album is what that is, more so than anything else.

As long as he makes everything perfect, does it really matter?

At some point, a body of work must be finished and left alone. Finalized after all tinkering, so it can be enjoyed faults and all, nothings perfect.

It's a bad thing to lower the value of your word.

oh yea, how the hell could I forget?!
I'm anxious as fuck to hear the album, but seriously, we've had enough to hold us by!
I'd rather him finish the album off like he wants!

My point exactly, time and energy should be/shouldve been with the album's completion, not G.O.O.D. Friday.

That's the sad part. I'm not too mad at Kanye for this, it just bugs me to see someone I respect do something morally wrong. I don't care who you are, don't go out of your way to inform someone something that you don't mean, and eventually contradict.

Everybody stop acting like Kanye has appointed you as his personal lap dogs. I'm sure that's not what he wants.

Great response.
