![]() ![]() My criteria for editing the songs was based off of what I felt were the best elements of the final Pablo tracks, the earlier Pablo tracks and the original samples, and how I could blend them together in the most efficient manner. I've included both versions of the album in the download, along with artwork and a list of the edits that were done to the songs. I wound up re-rendering the individual tracks to have definitive starts and ends as a compromise, but I also rendered a 103 minute MP3 of the entire album with the original transitions left intact. Originally I'd wanted a lot of the songs to transition right into each other but I found that with gapless playback being hit or miss on most media players (and especially on my Spotify) the transitions between the individual tracks sounded pretty choppy. I wound up making twooo versions of the album. I wanted these tracks to feel like ways that Kanye could have actually revamped some of the Pablo tracks if he'd extended the samples and left elements from the earlier versions of tracks in the final versions. That track is entirely revamped on here.) Outside of minor sound effects on a couple tracks and Stefan Ponce's I Love Kanye remix (which is pretty much an "unofficial official" version of the song at this point anyway), I didn't incorporate anything that a.) wasn't touched by Kanye in some way, shape or form, or b.) a part of, or related to, an original sample used on the album. Keeping these two things in mind, I've created an extended/remixed version of the album using earlier and final versions of tracks along with high quality rips of the original samples to create something that expands on Kanye's songs without, in my opinion, completely overtaking them (well, except for Fade. ![]() Additionally, I believe that Pablo has the best sample selection of any Kanye record: the samples are gorgeous and take the tracks in unexpected (but often brilliant) directions. One of the fascinating things about The Life of Pablo was how it evolved from the earliest versions of its tracks (such as the demo leaks of tracks like Waves, Wolves and Highlights) to its unfinished Tidal version that Ye released in February to the final product we received in March. ![]() Moved up from a December 5th release date (which would have commemorated Saint's first birthday) to compete with other in-the-works remixes of TLOP, I present to you all The Life of Paul. ![]()
