So here we are. The Life of Pablo has been released, and even though Kanye is telling the world that some changes are to be made, you could say that the album is, if not finished, basically out there for us to take a look at.
The last couple of weeks made me skeptical to the fact that Kanye actually knows what he's doing artistically. There have been last minute changes, embarassing premieres, multiple versions of the same songs, unclear features and strange vibes surrounding this project. Most fans put their faith in Kanye. He has not disappointed up to this point, so why would he now? Right? Others point to the unclarities and state that this will be a flop, and that Kanye isn't to be trusted and praised the way he once was.
When The Life of Pablo dropped, I listened to it once, twice, three times and it didn't make me wiser. I was basically stuck with the question: What is this? I browsed discussion threads for answers, just to find out the general feeling was the same as mine: Torn. People thought it to be his weakest project. People thought it was getting better for every listen-through. People thought it was all too fragmented to get your mind around. Even the non-critical praise was toned down and vague.The reviews and articles being written about the album are varied in opinion. And it really felt like everyone on the forums kinda just didn't know what to make of this. Keeping the album on repeat made me realize though.
I think this album is insanity. This whole period in Kanye's artistry, including the album it produced and the aftermath is a story of insanity. Now, if it's ABOUT insanity, in that Kanye is being insane on purpose as a way to bring Kanye as an artist and the album as a product to a new level, or if he is ACTUALLY becoming an unstable person, in that this album is revealing Kanye to be losing his mind, I don't know. All I know is that The Life of Pablo can be centered around insanity.
The album opens up with Ultralight Beam, in my opinion one of his very best. It's a colossal song, dark and divine at the same time, with a choir that feels like it's going to open up heaven. It's the song that tells us what Kanye's 'vision' (that he's singing about in FML) feels like. His genius brought him to this place, being able to touch something godly. "This is a God dream. This is everything." Kanye has renewed himself on every single project. From the early soul-inspired albums to the cold and skeletal Yeezus. The Life of Pablo feels in many ways like a distorted melting pot of all his earlier work, often switching tone dramatically between tracks, sometimes during the span of a single track. Ultralight Beam feels like it's outside Kanye's other work, looking down from a higher place on it all. "This is a God dream. This is everything."
The insane part of the album shines through in that Kanye, or should we say Pablo, is making this fragmented, unstable chaos of an album from his final form, his truest self. He himself calls it the "Album of the life". This is what it's all come down to. And it all feels bizarre. Now, I like this album a lot. The ill-fitted parts and the mood swings is a part of what makes The Life of Pablo what it is: Insane. In I Love Kanye, he breaks the fourth wall: "What if Kanye made a song about Kanye, called "I miss the old Kanye"? That would be so Kanye!" in which he turns himself and his persona inside out and laughs about it all in the end. It's the final form, and once again it feels like madness.
After a career labeled as genius, The Life of Pablo is about inevitably ascending to divinity, or from our point of view, losing grip of it all. If you want to, you could apply this to his monk-styled clothing line, to his public behavior and his production. And it's all in the album cover.
It's a mess, and at first I hated it. I claimed that it was rubbish and that it probably wasn't relevant to the album as a whole. And I was dead wrong. The cover is a perfect picture of what the album sounds like.
Which/one, the cover asks us. I claim it's the painting genius Pablo Picasso. "I feel like Pablo when I'm working on my shoes. I feel like Pablo when I see me on the news" he tells us in No More Parties in LA. And more importantly: "Name one genius that ain't crazy" in Feedback.
The Life of Pablo has not been easy to define and/or make sense of, and I don't think it's actually possible. It's a product of delusion, or unreachable genius. That's a fine line. And that is why The Life of Pablo is perhaps Kanye's, perhaps not best, but his most interesting project to this date.
Thanks for reading. English is not my native language, so i apologize for any weird sentences appearing. If you got anything supporting this theory, please tell the rest of us!awb5401, Rodamon, TheConstant and 8 others like this.(This ad goes away when signing up) -

"Pablo Picasso's family give Kanye West their 'blessing' after he names new album 'The Life Of Pablo'
The great-grandson of late Cubist painter Pablo Picasso has paid tribute to Kanye West after the rapper named his new album 'The Life Of Pablo'.
The title of the rapper's upcoming seventh record is thought to be named after either Picasso, drug lord Pablo Escobar, author Pablo Neruda, or possibly all three.
TMZ recently spoke to Florian Picasso, the adopted great-grandchild of Picasso, who said that the "entire Picasso family gives their blessing". He went on to compare the two artists' work.
"I think it's amazing that he's paying tribute to [Pablo Picasso's] work," Florian said. "They both have vision. They both want to revolutionise the game. Pablo Picasso was into art and Kanye is into music. The way they think outside of the box is very similar.""

10 P.M. PST – Get to the studio and walk around to find my sisters who are already here. I run into The Dream & say hi!
10:03 P.M. PST – Finally find Kourt and Kim in the studio. There are literally like 20 people already here. Kanye has an open door policy – he likes good vibes and good people to be around, so a lot of musicians are coming in and out. Travis Scott and Kirk Franklin, the gospel singer, are hanging out. I think Kirk is going to be on a track.
Album studio session.
10:05 P.M. PST – Vibing out to the album! I’ve heard it about 5 million times, LOL.
10:10 P.M. PST – Kanye stops in the middle of each song to tell us about why he wrote it and what it means. He’s really the essence of a true artist. I love seeing him so hyped and in his element.
10:16 P.M. PST – We start listening again. Kanye keeps pausing to talk more about the songs. I love hearing where his inspiration comes from.
Khloe, Larsa, Kim and Kourtney in the studio.
10:40 P.M. PST – Kourt, Kim, Larsa and I go to the bathroom. It has bomb lights, so you know it’s selfie time, haha!
10:42 P.M. PST – It’s hard to fit all of us in the frame, so it’s a long selfie session!!! None of us like the way the photos come out, so we finally just ask someone to take a picture of all of us in the studio, LOL.
10:50 P.M. PST – Just chilling. It’s cool to see everyone getting along, giving notes and opinions, & reworking the tracks. I can’t wait for you all to finally experience “Waves”!!!
NOTE: Kanye tweeted the album will have a new title as of Feb. 9.
