Kanye West "The Life Of Pablo"

Kanye has currently made it streaming only. It can't be
downloaded.

I guess it was briefly available as a download.
Billboard: "'The Life of Pablo' was initially
released on Feb. 13 via Tidal’s streaming service, and
briefly as a commercial download via West’s official
website."

Which is a stupid move because people will just seek out
copies illegally. He's actually being sued right now in
a class action lawsuit because he said initially it would
only be available on Tidal and nowhere else, then six
weeks later it was indeed available elsewhere.

It's on his website https://music.kanyewest.com/ for $20.

If you're trying to obtain the hit mixes though, that's probably a different
discussion. The album is supposed to be a "a living breathing changing
creative expression" (those are Kanye's words) and he's updated the mixes
since the original release. I suppose the "hit" versions are the ones that were
available when the album was first made available for streaming on Apple
and Spotify on April 1, 2016. The mixes were slightly different (including
some different lyrics on "Famous") from when they first came out on Tidal.
No idea if he's updated them again since then.

Well, "Famous" was just released as a single for sale today. From the reading I've done, it looks like no tweaking has been done since March 30th, but one track was recently added, the final, 20th track on the album. So "Famous" should be the charted version.

Pat, the time on that track is (2:16).

Technically, the "song" is titled "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1" (running 2:16). The "song" that follows it is simply titled "Pt. 2" (running 2:10) and that's how Billboard shows it on the charts, as two separate tracks.
