  10. ........ says:

    What is so genius about releasing a movie to go along with your album? It’s been done before. Kanye did it with MBDTF & Jeezy did it with TM:103 and other artists prior to them.

  11. NoSoup4Yu says:

    So, the album is releasing the 23rd or just the film ?

  12. B.Dot says:

    everyone knows G.O.O.D Music > MMG

    CRUEL SUMMER > Mixtape Music Group Self Made Vol. 2. Definately looking forward to this project. I dont give a fuck about the film though. Im just not into Kanye attempting to be some “artistic” independent film maker or whatever hes trying to do. Adding a film is just an extra budget for something that ppl will barely care about. Just focus all the effort into the album. I understand artist wanting to branch out, and most go into acting not directing/producing a film so kudos for being different, but I live by the saying “Jack of all trades, Master of None”. 50 Cent is the biggest example of that right now.

  26. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    Genius… @Word at least he using his money to express his art and waist it on some random buisness venture that will flop like another brand of headphones or autotune mic toy

  27. omag5 says:

    what is genius about is that its being shown in Cannes film festival which is one of the best in America. movies like black swan forrest gump requiem for a dream etc were shown here BEFORE they won Oscars…so its a legit film, unlike young jeezy’s

  28. Carlito says:

    this will be epic. ye very very rarely disappoints

  29. Trillionaire says:

    Kanye is leading the pack. He really is taking his fame and position in this world serious. Imma definitely check it out

  30. HOVA says:

    Rappers need to catch up to Ye’s campaign for real…SMH

  31. WUWEAR says:

    IDLEWILD RIP- OFF! IMMA TELL THE WORLD!

  32. Jaymalls says:

    The difference here is that Kanye actually cares about his legacy… Lil Wayne, Future, Cash Out, Tyga, Nicki Minaj, and 95% of the industry only care about the present and how much money they can make… That’s why music doesn’t sound the same anymore… People don’t care about putting their all into their music and making sure its quality… You have artist that get the 20 Fruityloops beats for $2500 then spit some bullshit and call it a day!

    this guy can’t be stopped.

  38. amp'd says:

    co-sign with @Omag5.. this is genius just like the other film was he did for Runaway, and just think, this will most likely be way better than Runaway, because the dude has learned from the last time

    .

  39. hxxvaz says:

    kanye gon have the beats on lock, but he still suck at rappin. i would rather listen to Self Made Vol.2 than Cruel Summer when it comes down to lyrics

  40. M.T says:

    Hopefully the album comes out soon.

  41. JHP says:

    Can’t wait to see the movie, I hope it features some samples of music from the album like Runaway did. Runaway was very interesting, I didn’t think I would, but I seriously watched it multiple times, so I’d like to see what he does with this, I noticed Kid Cudi is in it too. What I really can’t wait for is the album however, he needs to a drop a new single soon, and do a video for Mercy.

  42. ClarkR says:

    Please sample “Cruel Summer” by bananarama!! I’ve been waiting for it.

  43. LOLHaters says:

    HAHA GOOD MUSIC SHITTIN ON YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS LOL KEEP HATING !!! KANYE IS A FUCKIN MUSICAL GENIUS….AND THE FILM PREMIERING IN CANNES >>>>>>> ALL YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS BOOTLEG GHETTO ASS MOVIES HAHA…LIKE 50 SAID GRAB YOURSELF A 40 AND SIT ON THE CURB YOU GONNA BE IN THE HOOD FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES HAHAHAHHA

  44. 2020 Listen says:

    Nigga said MMG got better lyrics then Kanye or G.O.O.D music LMFAO. What a dick head. Ricky says the same shit over and over, Meeks new tape was ight, and Wales became TRASH since he signed to MMG. Ye and his team is making quality music and quality rap that’ll last 10 summers. Ross and his camp making mixtapes that’ll be hot for a month or two.

  45. Real Talk says:

    All the tracks that have been released so far that’s suppose to be on this album sucks in my opinion.
    They don’t touch nothing compared to M.B.D.T.F but hopefully I get proven wrong

  46. cuff'em says:

    Dude you honestly think kanye gonna release a movie at the Cannes for this album if it was anything less than epic, remember the first single on MBDTF was Monster and im sure there some ppl thought that song wasnt good enough, now the Mercy song is poppin so the album only gonna get better
