Tell The Vision apparently was added to this album so Pop Smokes family can have royalties or something, it was a financial decision on Kanye's half apparently so the family got more money.

[@willcollins584]

idk if you’ve followed the updates or changes to this album over the whole rollout but since you said you didn’t listen to any of the listening parties, imma assume you didn’t and give some updates over the last month and a half or so (LP = listening party) - The album was explicit during all of the listening parties - The tracklist changed from 15 songs (LP1) to 22 songs (LP2 and LP3) to finally 27 songs and all of these had different arrangements - Donda Chant was originally almost a minute longer than it is now and was not on LP1 - The outro to God Breathed was originally about two minutes shorter - Off The Grid was not on LP1 did not originally have a Kanye verse - Hurricane still had the Yandhi-era instrumental for LP1, KayCyy had a bridge on it, and The Weeknd was not featured. It also had a longer, weirdly mixed Kanye verse. - The instrumental for Praise God has changed a bit for all of the listening parties (the LP1 version is the best imo). Baby Keem also has a different verse arrangement and some of his verse is cut on LP1. He also has a different intro to his verse on LP1. The LP1 version didn’t have Kanye on it at all. - Jonah originally did not have a Kanye verse and also had no drums in LP1. The beeping noise was added in LP3 and it was a snare (i think that’s what it’s called) in LP2 instead. - Ok Ok didn’t have Fivio Foreign ad-libs at first and was also not on LP1 - Believe What I Say was not on LP1 - Remote Control did not have a Young Thug verse for LP1, had a Kid Cudi verse and Young Thug verse (with no robot mix part) for LP2, Kid Cudi’s verse got cut and a longer Globglogabgalab sample was at the end for LP3, and the Gloglogabgalab sample was shortened - Kid Cudi’s verse got cut from Moon for LP3 but was THANKFULLY readded. He was also not on LP1 on Moon. - Heaven and Hell was not on LP1 - Donda originally had a verse with Kanye and Pusha T trading bars - Conway the Machine and KayCyy were removed from Keep My Spirit Alive for LP3 (this song was also not on LP1) - For LP1 and LP2, there was a song called Never Abandon Your Family - Jesus Lord was not on LP1 - Chris Brown was removed from New Again on LP3 and was not on LP1 - Lord I Need You was not on LP1 - Pure Souls did not have Shenseea’s outro on LP1 and LP2 and Roddy Ricch used different words for his verses but changed them for the clean version - Come to Life was not on LP1 - Jail pt 2 was played at LP3 instead of Jail but without Marilyn Manson (unless he was on there, I don’t remember him being on there) - Junya pt 2 was played at LP2 instead of Junya but without Ty Dolla $ign - Jesus Lord pt 2 was played at LP2 instead of Jesus Lord okay sorry ab the long comment

[@CDTVthaG]

ayy i actually appreciate this so much man, i couldn’t find footage of the listening parties anywhere so being able to know what changed over the course of the album’s creation/release is exactly what i wanted to know 🙏🏻 thanks for this!

[@willcollins584]

@@CDTVthaG you’re welcome, i still haven’t been able to find videos of the livestream either but I did find a folder online that has all of the audio from the livestreams. the only problems with it is that it is missing the LP2 version of Hurricane (the one in the LP2 folder is actually the LP3 version), there are two accidental copies of Hurricane in LP3, and the LP3 version of New Again is missing. KZbin isn’t letting me post the link on here so if you want me to DM it to you somewhere I can do that.

It was really concerning seeing you start to look sadder and more emotional as kanyes verse on jesus lord went on but after the song you and after you revealed why was heartbreaking. You're so strong cdtv and we all love you so much it took real confidence to at least say you relate to the song. You revealed more than you needed to and even hinting at your struggles is incredibly courageous i just want you to know that. Love ❤️❤️

[@eduardoolaiz7339]

The Tell the Vision sample of Pop Smoke was like the Globglo sample. Wasn't fully acapella because the drum beat got carried over

[@Onyxiate]

Jesus Lord is an almost 9 minute long song that has a pointless 30 second introduction, has a feature who has openly anti-Semitic, and has a spoken word outro, and it is still one Kanye’s best ever songs. You would never skip this song. Unlike his other, long songs like Last Call and Runaway, the second half feels skippable being an interview and the whole song repeated, respectively. Jesus Lord is constantly changing and every second of it deserves your time.
