Why would a leaker want people who illegally downloaded the album to buy it?

Why was the file it shared in called "please buy this s*** man"?

How could have a leaker obtained a copy with 320 .m4a files, when the album was posted on tidal with 256 .m4a files?

Could all this be coincidence?

I’m fairly certain this is the case, it’s been long speculated

Obviously a weirdo ye stan lol

Yes

Yeezus to TLOP era GOATed

If you’ve been to yandhileaks or the Kanye Reddit page it’s not hard to believe some Ye Stan did it

It’s like a Christian going to confession after spanking their genitals

This has been a widely pondered theory since 2016 lol it’s not something somebody just decided all of a sudden

If the files are true 320 then it’s gotta be the case

Nah it doesn’t lol. Kanye doesn’t even know what a kbps is

The same people who came up with that theory are the same nerds who would do some s*** like this lol

The photo is clearly reddit

you gotta keep in mind this happened well before leak culture was a thing

the main points working towards kanye (or someone on his camp) leaking this are
-Being 320kbps where all the TIDAL rips were either 256kbps or FLAC
-Being encoded with Dolby Media Generator 3.8.3 which apparently is only available through Dolby directly
-Last modified about an hour before TIDAL release dropped.

Honestly the first and last points are easy to debunk but if that middle one is true then it most likely came internally. Though I highly doubt it was Kanye himself who leaked it

It was a fun ride when it was actually coming out but those years were hell

always thought it was someone off ktt who did that

you might be confusing this for itsFREAKS.zip which was a collection of Pablo demos a ktt user leaked a week after TLOP came out

he did it just so he could drop that a million illegally downloaded bar on saint pablo

Entirely possible because Kanye really didn't care about album sales since it was a TIDAL streaming exclusive at first

Imagine feel bad for you kids who didn’t witness Grad-808s-MBDTF-WTT in 5 years. Now that was an era

It was def kanye bc he misspelled thief

I wasn’t apart of any online music communities when those came out, so they just kinda came out for me? I didn’t follow Kanye closely or anything

idk but thank god they leaked OG Wolves

that wasn't apart of this

i was always under the assumption he (meaning his team) assisted in leaking the OG Pablo files that came about a week after we heard the album. idk about this one tho. all of its up in the air really

There was a weird interest in the piracy of this album back then tho that even Kanye mentioned and looked at so i wouldn't put it out of the possibility

Man I wish I was a Kanye stan during mbdtf. I only became a general fan then, and then became a stan for yeezus. First got onto ye during graduation though with daft punk feature

are you talking about the demos that leaked? if so no way kanye team had involvement in that. the zip with them also had some fakes in it

yeah i saw your earlier comment after i posted. i had only registered on KTT for like a couple days at that point so i never knew who released it. and i def remember not only fakes but stuff that had already been out.

did i say it was?
