After performing on an episode of "Saturday Night Live" hosted by Melissa McCarthy, Kanye West dropped his long-awaited and controversial album "The Life of Pablo." The album has been long awaited by Kanye fans and foes alike, as its release was much delayed. A couple of tweets from West's Twitter suggest that this was due to Chance the Rapper, who performed alongside Kanye during his new song "Ultralight Beam." Others think that it's due to "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkerli offering to buy "TLOP" from Kanye. However, through all of the controversy surrounding the release, the full album is available for streaming through the TIDAL streaming website, where Rihanna released her last album exclusively.

Now I understand why people don't like Kanye. He's the definition of a jerk, self-centered and any other negative namesake you can think of. However, people still go crazy when he releases an album. I'm not saying I don't agree with the fact that he's a controversial figure, but what I am saying is that I, along with many of my friends, stayed up late last night just to listen to the album through. And damn, it's a pretty amazing record. Personal favorites include "Famous," "Ultralight Beam" and "No More Parties in LA." The album is peppered with guest features, including Rihanna, Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper.

Do yourself a favor, grab the month-long free trial from TIDAL, and give "The Life Of Pablo" a chance, even if Kanye isn't your favorite person.
