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.

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. 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. 
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. 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. 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.

I wound up making twooo versions of the album. 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 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. 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.

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. Please keep in mind that a lot of the earlier 
versions and demos of Pablo songs were not of the highest sound 
quality (as well as one or two samples on here that were impossible 
to find HQ rips for). I tried re-mixing the additional elements in 
these tracks along with adding bass and treble to help them blend in 
better, but not all of it is 100% perfect. Also, moving this record 
up 3 weeks from its original December release means that I didn't 
have time to get the mixing down quite as perfect as I wanted to 
(though I still think it sounds pretty solid overall), but much like 
TLOP I intend for this to be a "living document" and hopefully before 
the end of the year I'll have an updated version out with some minor 
mixing tweaks. Additionally, if new or higher quality leaks of demo 
tracks come out in the coming months (I'm looking at you, Yule Tide 
Yeezy I just realized he didn't release the leaks after Trump won the 
election like he promised and deleted his post about it, so obviously 
he's full of shit) I'll re-edit the songs accordingly. The most 
recent version of the album will always be linked in this original 
post along with an edit history.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening
