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.

doesnt mean hes a liar, im sure it was due last week, he's just kept pushing it back as much as physically possible.

How does he push back a deadline set by a record label

That's like saying I pushed the due date for this homework assignment back as much as physically possible because I wanted "a really really really good paper".

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!

who cares, he doesn't owe us anything!
we're getting a free movie Saturday with a preview of the album,
what else do you want?
Jesus!

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.

So wait, why is this an issue again? Is it b/c you feel like he's not gonna turn it in on time to be released on the 22nd? Does it really matter that he's not sticking by information that we weren't supposed to be privy to in the first place?

Just wait for the album man.

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

The only date he had given was November 16th - but even when he said November 16th he made sure to make it seem like it wasn't confirmed (ala 'I'm not supposed to say anything yet but were going for November 16th')...So I'm not sure what you're getting at - November 22nd is still the release date.

What does that have to do with him being a liar/continually contradicting himself

Kanye being a perfectionist has nothing to do with when he did/has to turn in the album.

he says hes gonna finish something by a certain date but realizes he still wants to work on it because he wants it to be perfect

easy to comprehend imo

runaway said being a perfectionist ruins relationships yet it also gets some of your fans butthurt over when youre gonna finish your album apparently
