By the time #KanyeWest actually released his sixth studio album ‘The Life of Pablo’, it had been the longest stretch of his career without an album—​​971 days—marked by a bumpy, stop-and-go rollout that included everything from ballads with Paul McCartney to the much hyped performance of “All Day” to hundreds of tweets updating fans on the process. ‘The Life of Pablo’ premiered on Feb. 11 at the famed Madison Square Garden, during the Yeezy Season 3 show. Despite Ye claiming weeks earlier that the album was finished, it wasn’t. It was released three days later, on Valentine’s Day, exclusively on Tidal. And hours after its release, Ye tweeted “ima fix wolves,” responding to criticism of the changes of a song that had been teased years earlier. True to the album’s chaotic process, he kept tinkering: adding ad-libs to “Ultralight Beam,” tweaking lyrics on “Famous,” re-recording a verse on “Waves,” restoring Vic Mensa’s vocals to “Wolves,” removing Frank Ocean from that same track and giving him his own interlude, adding “Saint Pablo” as the new closer. There were so many adjustments that soon after, the album was being described by Kanye and Def Jam as “living art,” a project that would evolve over time. With these constant changes, there’s tons of stories behind how the album was created. So to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of ‘TLOP,’ we caught up with key collaborators to hear behind-the-scenes stories about the recording of Ye’s 2016 masterpiece. #TLOP  LINK IN BIO to read the full story and shop Ye’s artist collection on Complex 🔗
