Some of y'all need to get that he will never retire. He will just change his genres over the time. He will always put out projects until he's gone, kinda the same with Bowie.
he can legally never retire til he dies
unless he gets rich enough to buy umg
but this record is hard
I've juggled this around in my thoughts a lot. I'm sure the idea of an entire album dedicated to his mom first entered his head when she died 14 years ago. So part of me has thought, he's saved this for right now for a reason, because it's time, it's the end, he's done with music, and wants to go out with a magnum opus dedicated to his mom. That said I think he's so true to the craft of music that as long as he is getting ideas that inspire him he will create them.
Amazing record will enjoy it for years to come but I feel like in the next 2 years he will be inspired to make another one.
absolutely wouldnt mind it, s***'s triumphant an uses great styles from his other albums here and there
I see his career in a few chapters:
Dropout era: TCD - LR - Grad
Heartbreak: 808s
Dark Fantasy era: MBDTF - WTT - CS
Yeezus era: Yeezus - Pablo
Wyoming era: Ye - KSG
Jesus era: JIK - Donda
IMO, he's made the statement that he wanted to with this chapter. I'd like to see him come back inspired for the next one rather than continuing to mine the same ideas. Berlin excites the hell out of me in that regard
What did he say in Berlin?
I feel like this album sums up everything Kanye’s been through in the past 20 years of his career very well. With Come to Life and NCLB closing the album it feels like a great way to end it if Kanye announced he was retiring tomorrow
Kanye says music is why he was put on earth so i doubt hes done.
