I get it, not everyone is a Kanye West fan. He's done some very questionable things in the past that really makes you wonder why people continue to listen to him. The only thing is, it's always about the music. Kanye West is a musician and should be seen as such. Kanye's seventh studio album titled 'The Life of Pablo' dropped exclusively on his website and new music streaming site Tidal back on February 14th. It was Kanye's first studio album since he dropped 'Yeezus' back in 2013.

I've been a Kanye fan since I was about 6 years old. The first full album I listened to was "The College Dropout" and even back then I knew music was what I wanted to do. I wanted to make amazing music just like Kanye West did. 12 years later, I still feel the exact same way! So many people have such hatred towards Kanye so I thought it was time that someone who actually loved him reviewed his music instead of someone who says "I love his music, but hate him". So here I am, giving you your TLOP album review.

The album starts with the track "Ultralight Beam," one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The song begins with a sample from a video of a 4-year-old named Natalie preaching to her mom about how "We don't want no devils in the house, we want the Lord." The song continues on with a beautiful melody and the back up vocals of a gospel choir. This track is very much a gospel song. The song continues to have various speakers such as Kirk Franklin speaking on how this song is for anyone who has ever felt worthless. Also in the song an amazing verse by Chance The Rapper that really added what this song needed.

Following this song we have Pt. 1 and 2 of "Father Stretch My Hands." Pt. 1 of Father Stretch My Hands is one of my favorite if not my favorite song on the album. Produced by Young Metro (who apparently if his trust in you is lacking, someone's gonna shoot you) on this track you can hear Kid Cudi beginning the song before Kanye comes in with a hilarious line about how he was going to f*ck a model who just bleached her a**hole but if he gets it on his T-shirt he'll feel like an a**hole. If you're a Kanye fan it's not unusual for him to say obscene things like this and it really shouldn't come as a shock. This track is followed by Pt. 2 with maybe one of the greatest beats on the album, this is also the first time on the album we hear Kanye speak about the passing of his mother.

The next track "Famous," produced by Swizz Beats with vocals by Rihanna is the infamous track in which he talks about having sex with Taylor Swift. I think this whole line was blown way out of proportion, not to mention that Kanye tweeted, before the album even came out, that he spoke to Taylor about the line and she was OK with it, but obviously no one wants to talk about that.

Next we have "Feedback," which he talks a lot about where he's from, why he acts the way he does and why people shouldn't "sleep" on him. This also features a "Ghetto Oprah" part which I found hilarious, it was definitely a "Oh Kanye!" moment! This is followed by the track "Low Lights," which features a woman speaking about how much she loves God and how much he's done for her. Coming from someone who is a Christian and very in touch with her religion, I've been very down before and hearing the lyrics "I won't always be crying these tears," was so uplifting. "Low Lights" is definitely a very underrated track.

Now we have "Highlights" which gives me a 808's and Heartbreaks vibe with the auto tune and echoey sounds that were very present in 808's. After that we have "Freestyle 4" that at first I didn't really throughly listen to but after hearing it a few times the beat, the simplicity of it I definitely no longer skip over it.

Next is when the album gets a little humor to it with the track "I Love Kanye," when I first heard it I couldn't help but to laugh because this is Kanye talking about all the stuff that everyone is saying about him and how they miss the "old Kanye" and he plays on that and uses it for a no instrumental freestyle. Next is "Waves" that has amazing vocals by Chris Brown. Not much Kanye on the song but it's very vocal and beat heavy.

The next song "FML" is the most vulnerable song on the album and really shows a side of Kanye that he never shows himself. The sad melody and the almost no emotion in Kanye's voice really adds to the effect. Also featured on this track is The Weeknd who is someone who's very good with vulnerability and sad melodies. By adding him vocally to this song it was an amazing contribution. Next is "Real Friends," which continues the whole vulnerable Kanye feeling and he continues to talk about all of the problems that he has with his family and how being famous has changed the relationship he has with them.

Now we have "Wolves," which might actually be one of my least favorite tracks on the album, but still nonetheless has a beautiful soprano in the background, reaching notes that kind of resemble the sounds of wolves howling. But Kanye speaks about Kim and how he knows that there are people that she wishes she didn't have in her life and how he wants to protect his kids from the "Wolves," by the end of the song we hear the beautiful voice of long time M.I.A singer Frank Ocean, which was such an amazing thing to hear. The next track is Silver Surfer Intermission, which was just a 56 second track of a phone conversation with rappers Max B and French Montana about how it's fine that back when the album was titled Waves that it was called that because everyone claimed that Kanye was "taking the wave" from rapper Max B.

Now we have the last four tracks "30 Hours," "No More Parties in LA," "Facts," and "Fade." The beat of "30 Hours" is definitely one that you could listen to without it having any words and Kanye makes sure to touch on that. "30 Hours" is an ad-lib track and never had any intention on having a structure to it, so keep that in mind when you listen. "No More Parties in LA" was the first track released on the album via KanyeWest.com and features rapper Kendrick Lamar, this is such a great song that you can just vibe to. Next is "Facts" (Charlie Heat Version), which is definitely a hard comeback track to Nike and features Kanye saying "Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over jumpman." For sure not a song that you should skip with the hard hitting beat and the even harder verses you can't miss it. Finally we end the album with the song "Fade." I personally love the beat of "Fade," but would have not wanted it to end the entire album. Not a bad song... just not a closer.

TLOP is a great album, anyone who has been an avid Kanye West follower knows that he's a perfectionist. He would never release a body of work that he didn't think would be great. I greatly encourage you to get the free trial of Tidal or even invest in the student $5/Month deal and listen to "The Life of Pablo." I would love to know how you feel, feel free to let me know.
