This article contains details about the song "All Day", which does not appear on the album. Should all content about this song be removed? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:18, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was released in promotion for the album, so I vote no.1Sire (talk) 01:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Add label info Good Music, Roc-A-Fella, & Def Jam Those are the releasing labels. Roc-A-Fella is added to keep the branding alive so copyright office doesn't revoke the license to use the name. Example, JAY Z's MCHG had a Roc-A-Fella Logo but it was released by Roc Nation and Universal. You can research on the Def Jam Website, hit releases and then hit Roc-A-Fella. Most of Kanye's Releases are there currently. Thank You. Defjamad661 (talk) 23:47, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The only source for Shrkeli being able to hold up production is Shkreli himself. As a legal matter, Shkreli's argument is absurd. Even if Kanye were himself a corporation, corporations are not under any obligation to hold a board vote over any yahoo's offer to purchase an asset they own. That portion in the intro really should be either removed or at least edited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.56.22.127 (talk) 16:34, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The Life of Pablo is the seventh studio album by American rapper Kanye West. It will be released by GOOD Music, Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam Recordings on February 12, 2016, however this the release is subject to change to Martin Shkreli applied for acquisition of the album and publishing rights for the price of $10 million which will result in him having sole copy of the album and in the application Martin Shkreli has stated not to release the album commercially"

Ugh.... not only is the Martin Skhreli proposal extremely likely to be rejected (you really think Kanye would do that? Since the proposal was created he's said he's still releasing the album), but this is a terribly written sentence. I can't edit this but someone ought to fix this.

The proposal not only isn't likely to be accepted, it doesn't even need to be considered. Shkreli's legal argument is outright absurd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.56.22.127 (talk) 16:35, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

169.231.28.100 (talk) 08:50, 14 February 2016 (UTC) This album's genre should also be considered a gospel album. Throughout the album there are many bible references and choir singing and it meets the genre criteria.[reply]

Genres are quite contentious, and what editors think the genres are, is just their PoV, and not sufficient for inclusion - Arjayay (talk) 10:49, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Would help to clarify that it was released exclusively to stream through Tidal and exclusively to purchase through Kanye's website (www.kanyewest.com). Also may want to consider inputting notes on the rocky rollout and Tidal's intially incorrect track listing re: Fade and Facts. Initially the streaming and downloadable versions of the album had the same file for Facts (Charlie Heat Version) and Fade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maltease (talk • contribs) 10:12, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to this review - http://music.theaureview.com/reviews/kanye-west-the-life-of-pablo-2016-lp/ - the intro for "Ultralight Beam" featured an uncredited sample from a vine. Linked to in the review.^[1]

I've added an "unreferenced section" tag to the Tracklisting section, which includes not only the tracklist but a long list of Notes and sample credits. Does the single Tidal inline citation really provide sufficient evidence for these many notes and credits? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:52, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering if it is correct to include the Telegraph review by Neil Cormick in the "Critical Reception" since that is not reviewing the released album, but instead the songs played at the Yeezy season 3 event. I know that event was supposed to be an album listening party, but in the end the released album has a lot of changes from the event, including 8 more songs.

The review is from the 12th of February. Seems weird to have that review for an album released the 14th of February. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jorwikiroj (talk • contribs) 09:28, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Telegraph's review should not be here. The critic could not have even had the full quality files to listen to before writing the "review". It's obvious the review was driven by the 24hour news cycle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WestIRL (talk • contribs) 17:57, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The album did NOT receive "rave reviews". It clearly has gotten mixed reception. Just because you are a fan doesn't mean you have to be biased and overhype it when it hasn't been earned. Majority of reviews released thus far have been mixed. Even the star ratings in the article prove the same. It is such a lie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:84:4601:84D1:2C40:B57D:F2CC:62B5 (talk) 23:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
