Morphine Prince 105,153 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 In true Kanye fashion, his latest album The Life of Pablo has received some post-release updates. The Tidal-only release underwent some subtle changes today, most notably to the lyrics of the controversial track “Famous”. … lyrics in the song’s second verse were changed from “She be Puerto Rican day parade wavin’” to “She in school to be a real estate agent.” Rihanna’s vocals from 1:01 to 1:17 appear to be quieter and have more reverb, and the transition into the chopped-up vocal breakdown beginning at about 1:49 was also slightly altered.

Will this be a growing trend? Discuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bette Davis 12,742 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think it's a fascinating idea actually. I work in a creative field and I always find things I wish I would've done differently. Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if streaming becomes the norm in the future artists should update content but make past versions downloadable. I think this is innovative.

weed 73,417 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I like the concept, but then I also don't because I'd always want the newest version on my phone and I'd end up with so many songs (I don't stream I only download) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if streaming becomes the norm in the future artists should update content but make past versions downloadable. I think this is innovative. I feel like this just will incentivize an artist to update the same song multiple times and the industry will use every update to make money. Just write a great song. If you ever do a remix, do a remix. But a few updates all the time to your music really gets kind of... problematic. Songs should be classic. Representative of what the artist 100% invented, flaws and all, at the time. It's a nostalgia thing for me too. When I hear an old song when I'm old come on the radio, I want it to have the same authentic essence it did and sound the same as when it was released. We already so much re-make/sequel culture in film. I dont want that to become a main thing in the music industry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
