American rappers Pusha T and Consequence confirmed that they had ended their feud to work with West on music to be released by him. Ty Dolla Sign reported that writing and recording for the album took place in Mexico in September 2014 he recalled McCartney and Rihanna were present. The Life of Pablo was recorded between 20, though recording for the track "No More Parties in LA" started in 2010, during the sessions for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He delayed the release further to finalize the recording of the track " Waves" at the behest of co-writer Chance the Rapper. Following the preview, West announced he would modify the track list again before its public release. On February 11, West premiered an early version of the album at Madison Square Garden during the presentation of his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line. On February 9, 2016, several days ahead of its release, West changed the title to The Life of Pablo. The track " Famous", featuring vocals by frequent West collaborator Rihanna and American hip hop recording artist Swizz Beatz, was scrutinized on social media for its controversial lyrical reference to American singer Taylor Swift, because West had interrupted her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Ĭhance the Rapper contributed to several tracks, including " Ultralight Beam" and " Waves". On January 26, 2016, West revealed he had renamed the album Waves. This signified a revival of the GOOD Fridays initiative where West had released new singles every Friday. He released a new song " Real Friends" that month simultaneously with a snippet of " No More Parties in LA". West announced in January 2016 that SWISH would be released on February 11. In 2015, West announced the album's new title as SWISH, though he noted the title could change. Early recording sessions resulted in several tracks released as standalone singles or given to other artists, including West's Paul McCartney collaborations " All Day", " Only One", and the McCartney and Rihanna collaboration " FourFiveSeconds". Q-Tip announced he and Rick Rubin, one of the executive producers of West's sixth studio album Yeezus (2013), would produce the album. In November 2013, Kanye West began working on his seventh studio album, with the working title of So Help Me God intended for a 2014 release date. It also debuted at number one in Norway, and in the top ten in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Following Tidal's initial disclosure of its streaming data and its release to competing streaming services, the album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming the first to reach the summit primarily through streaming, and was ultimately certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The Life of Pablo received five nominations at the 2017 Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Album, though the Album of the Year rejection was deemed a snub by numerous publications. Multiple publications named it one of 2016's best albums.
The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, with particular attention being paid to the fragmented, unfinished nature of the composition and release. The singles " Famous", the two-part " Father Stretch My Hands", and " Fade" were released to support it in 2016.
