This Lucky 20-Year-Old Figured Out Kanye's Album Title
Earlier this week, Kanye West announced that he'd changed the title of his newest album yet again, this time to T.L.O.P., and announced that anyone who could figure it out would get free Yeezys and tickets to his album launch at Madison Square Garden. At least one man did: Dante Holley, a 20-year-old rapper and producer from New Jersey who tweeted his guess on Feb. 9. Dante said he came up with the title after listening to "No More Parties in L.A.," Kanye's song with Kendrick Lamar that no longer appears on the T.L.O.P. track list. "He was talking about how he felt like Pablo when he was working on his shoes, he felt like Pablo when he was on the news," Dante told the BBC's Newsbeat. "I thought either he's talking about Pablo Escobar or Pablo Picasso. So I just thought, The Life of Pablo."
Dante also said he hadn't heard from Kanye's people yet, but TMZ has a screenshot of a message reportedly sent to correct guessers. According to TMZ, 33 people guessed The Life of Pablo and received the missive, which warns recipients that the contents are "100% confidential" and any violations will result in a "void" of the contest win. Kanye, meanwhile, asks that no one text him or ask him for anything until Monday. Your questions about that Puma mess will just have to wait!
