Yeezy season is approaching, but fans probably aren't getting a new album before the calendar flips to 2015.
Instead, they can pick up his forthcoming Adidas-sponsored Yeezy 3 shoes, which will be available this November (Sneaker Mob). There are currently no images of anything Kanye constructed, but you can bet the kicks will challenge the status quo.
Industry rumors lean toward a similar style to the recently-released Adidas Tubular line, which features a pointed toe and a flamboyant tongue.
One thing is certain: The kicks will be expensive, and then fly into insane bidding territory once they reach the secondary market. His Nike Red Octobers sold out in minutes this February, and were quickly posted for upwards of a million dollars on eBay.
Ye recently caught some shade from T-Pain, who questioned West's use of Auto Tune.
"Kanye uses it, but he doesn't use it correctly," T-Pain said of the rapper, who recorded the vocals on 808s & Heartbreak entirely with Auto-Tune. "He makes great music with it, but the way that I use it and the way that I've shown Chris [Brown] and Jamie [Foxx] to use it, he doesn't use it that way."
How does West go wrong, exactly?
"He sings without it first, and then he puts it on it ... you don't know how it's going to come out," Pain said. "You can't catch your mistakes before that happens. Sometimes he gets a little wobbly and things like that.
"When people hear Auto-Tune, they know that it's used so much for a crutch. I use it to turn my voice into an instrument. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of guys that use Auto-Tune that cannot sing."
