The delightful saga of Kanye West's new album title continues. After naming the album So Help Me God (almost a year ago, by the way), then changing it to SWISH, then changing it to WAVES, then putting it up for a public vote, this morning Yeezy told LA radio host Big Boy, "We don't have a name yet." Notably, this comes exactly one week before the album is scheduled to be released at a massive Madison Square Garden fashion event. Sorry, Def Jam marketing department!
As Pitchfork notes, Kanye described the project as "a gospel album with a whole lot of cursing on it." He also explained that he went off on Wiz Khalifa -- in response to Wiz's perceived slight against Kanye's wife, Kim Kardashian -- because "I just want to show I'm a family man." Regarding his "I own your child!" tweet, Kanye offered, "The people who felt a way about the kids comment, I didn't mean it in a harmful way." Lastly, when asked about Drake's "Summer Sixteen" assertion that his pool is bigger than Kanye's pool, Kanye responded, "I have three pools."
