[dR3]

Damn, that's fucked up.

Finally a week without kanye

In the lab with Soulja Boy and Cudi... 2 of my favorite most genius artist. Even in my disappointment about the leaks I feel blessed

What the fuck.

Cudi's alright but soulja boy? What is he thinking?

Also, people (including Kanye) are wasting their time bitching about 'hackers' here...

Everybody assumes it's 'hackers' vaguely throwing that term around lmao, when in reality it was probably an associate of his who he gave his music or access to or something like that.

BUT, the real point of the issue is... You wouldn't leave your valuable possessions on your front lawn in a busy city and expect them to not get stolen. Anybody with an ounce of common sense would know not to do that, in fact that just sounds insane given the context and our familiarity with it.

It's just that some people aren't as familiar with the 'virtual world' to put it so lamely.

And, the Internet is the busiest, roughest, filthiest, most variable, most unpredictable city that there is. And by keeping such data aka. valuable possessions (as such a well-known figure) in any online facility you're essentially leaving your goods on the front lawn. You're just asking for them to be stolen.

So it's idotic to act surprised. Imagine somebody left a brand new widescreen HDTV on their front step in the middle of New York. And then they wake up like "WHAT, IT GOT STOLEN? WTF MAN, STUPID THIEVES" Stiupid thieves? No stupid YOU for leaving your fucking TV on your front-step in New York lmao.

Thieves exist, on and offline. That's just a matter of fact. Bitching about them won't make them go away - it's upto you as the owner of your goods to secure yourself and be informed. That's not to justify the thievery itself, only to highlight the importance you should play in your own fate.

So, somebody should put that to Kanye. Silly you Kanye. Get more informed and privy to the online world, protection and the whole ordeal and things like this won't happen. Material you want you and only you to have hold of should be kept right at your side and nowhere with an accessible vault.

Plus, it's pretty much common fucking sense lmao. I mean, he probably caused it himself by passing shit around. I mean if I was THAT huge, knowing my music was that important to me... I would have it in a compressed locked file on a portable HD which I remove everytime I finish working on the music, then lock the fucking thing away until I continue working lmao. And give nothing to anybody.

If you operate like that, unless somebody puts a gun to your head to get your HD, nothing is going to leak. Outside of that, it's a failure in your own common sense.

To be fair, I think they do everything they can to avoid stuff getting leaked (they are not stupid). From what I've read, it is normal to send stuff around via E-mail so what can they do? It takes seconds to send a beat to a rapper in another state so he can spit a verse on it. If they should record everything together, it would require much more time.

It doesn't make much sense though to stop the Good-fridays for a while. The hackers will still be there, maybe even more now that they don't release the tracks themselves.

He said on his twitter that the album is finished and is being mixed by four engineers so I wouldn't be surprised if they release it sometime next month. I guess that the hackers did us a favour after all (I don't think he'll ever release something half arsed just because of things getting leaked).

Maybe a stupid question but did Kanye release 'Devil in a new dress'? The ending makes me think it is an unfinished version.

EDIT: Just realized that they were going to release it in November anyway.....

[Hiphopdane]

For the real hip hop fans... even though I had to shift all my energy to mixing my album do to leaks....

I'm trying to still deliver a new Good Friday song 2nt... Let's pray!!!

^^New tweets.

[Almostlity]
