Sis loves to feud with the pop girls.
Just don’t perform we’ll all be fine.

My Coachella squad is hoping he makes good on his threat and are bitching because he said he would bring Travis out. Whatever. I am fine with Kanye performing as long as he doesn't turn it into a rant about Kim.

Billie Eilish did nothing wrong and shouldn't be shamed. She did the right thing stopping her concert to check on the fan that was in distress. If Kanye feels that Travis was 'attacked' or shaded by Billie just saying she cares for her fans, then that's on him for feeling wrong about the situation.
Kanye has certainly made some major contributions to music, fashion, and culture, but he shouldn't get a free pass to be an asshole. He is totally out of line and off base with this entire situation. Even if Travis is his friend and collaborator, it is not his duty to rehabilitate his image or help him given the severity of the situation. Birds of a feather flock together.

Why is he so damn extra? Seriously, she didn’t say anything about anyone. She was caring about the well being of her fans. I’ll be disappointed in her if she apologizes.

From now on, any musician who cares for fans in the audience will have to apologize to Ye and Travis. Poor man-baby, so talented and so full of sh*t.

You can always tell when one of his albums is about to drop.

Ion know, but "City of Gods" slaps so I'm ready for the music. The antics- he's simply upset that Kim moved on skskskskskssk.

He’s just mad and bitter that he isn’t getting a chance to do jumping jacks on Pete’s D because his ex already beat him to the punch.

He's pushing 80 and still going after pop stars in their 20s.

There’s something about Kanye that scares me on a different level— there is nothing I’d put past him. All I’ll say is I hope Kim has tight security.

Meanwhile, they silently dropped a physical, double-disc of DONDA to all major retailers. Even Target, who is notorious for not carrying shit, had it in stock. Was tempted to pick it up when I was grabbing a copy of Mary J's latest, but was like meh, I already paid like 17 bucks for the album on iTunes.

It’s literally the two CDs and a black sheet of paper so there’s not much difference anyway.

In another context, he sure is bringing a lot of attention to himself and will probably carry over into Donda 2 as some people might think that he would talk about the stuff he’s saying in these posts. 2022 is already starting off as a better year compared to last year in terms of album releases.

Bringing Mac Miller and Ariana into this was so disrespectful. He's a big mess right now and he is giving Kim ammo regarding the custody of the children.

So if his album will be available only through HIS music platform… will he chart? Is billboard supposed to trust the streaming or sales data he will provide? 🤔

Sounds similar to his TLOP release.

Is billboard supposed to trust the streaming or sales data he will provide? 🤔 It's not a platform, it's a $200 stem player that's currently available for preorder. He offered these stem players for the deluxe version of his last album as well.

Livestream was a MESS. The new songs performed were decent, but the live performance section was not good. Something was up with the sound and everything was off. Hopefully he does another event and we can finally here good performances of Off The Grid and Hurricane.

With ‘Donda 2’ Stem Player Release, Kanye West Skips Streamers — And the Charts The album and the $200 devices that play it fail to meet Billboard's chart eligibility requirements.
BY COLIN STUTZ
AAfter releasing 16 tracks from Donda 2 to his Stem Player last week, Kanye West is so far staying true to his promise to hold back the album from streaming services.
The artist and entrepreneur, who now goes by Ye, reported $1.3 million in Stem sales via Instagram in the 24 hours after announcing Donda 2 would be released exclusively on his $200 proprietary hockey-puck-sized streaming devices, which allow users to remix songs as they listen. While new Stem purchases appear to come preloaded with 2019’s Jesus Is King, last year’s Donda and Donda 2, anyone who purchased the device when it was released last year can also upload the Donda 2 songs — or others — using their computer and a USB-C cable.
Ye said at time of his Feb. 18 Instagram post that he had sold 39,500 Stem Players to date — for total net sales topping $8.6 million.
While that revenue far surpasses what an artist can earn from streaming or sales in the same time period, one thing this release strategy will not be earning Ye is placement on the Billboard charts. That’s because the album is being sold with a device that can be used for other means besides the playing of the album. As such, the Stem/Donda package would fall within Billboard’s latest merch bundle policy, where albums sold with merchandise are not chart eligible.
Since the Stem Player is a fairly new concept, however, people familiar with the matter from both Billboard and MRC say they plan to continue to monitor its evolution as it relates to chart eligibility.
Ye released four Donda 2 tracks to his Stem Player on Feb. 23 following a listening party and live performance in Miami the night prior. The next day, he released 12 more songs, calling the 16-track collection the “Miami Version.”
When Ye released Donda on Aug. 29, it topped the Billboard 200 albums chart with 309,000 equivalent album units moved, according to MRC Data, becoming 2021’s top single-week release to that point. He was later surpassed by Drake’s Certified Lover Boy and Adele’s 30 and ended 2021 with the calendar year’s 39th biggest album, according to the Billboard 200 year-end chart.
