Comment Party: Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 3 Fashion Show & The Life Of Pablo Premiere
Yeezy Season 3 at MSG is finally upon us. The hype machine has been working overtime to the point of explosion on this one — Kanye has done pretty much everything besides actually come with new music or clothes. While most artists would probably just be freaking out about their album coming out — and Kanye is certainly doing that, too, switching titles and tracklists every other day — he’s also requesting more “sewers” to finish his line, amending the guest list for the show, weighing in on Bill Cosby, and deading and reconciling with Wiz Khalifa, among other things. All of that will fade to the background today as we finally hear the fucking music and see the freaking clothes! Will ‘Ye live up to the hype once more? Watch the livestream via TIDAL starting at 4 PM EST, and let’s have a Comment Party right here, right now.
(If you’re having problems with the stream, try downgrading the picture quality to 240p by clicking the HD button and see if that fixes things.)
Here’s the tracklist (at least as of last night):
01 “Ultra Light Beams”
02 “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1″
03 “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2″
04 “Freestyle 4″
05 “Famous”
06 “Highlights”
07 “Feedback”
08 “Fade”
09 “FML”
10 “Real Friends”
11 “Wolves”
We’ll be adding details from the event below as it unfolds…
Here’s some video of a new song playing over the PA system (presumably during soundcheck) to get you pumped:
In addition to the Kardashian family, celebrity attendees include 50 Cent, A$AP Rocky, Jennifer Hudson, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid, Rosie O’Donnell, Travis Scott, 2 Chainz, Melanie Griffith, and Anna Wintour.
