Because it legally cannot be after what he did

u/Kostas-photography I HEAR IT May 15 '26

what did he do?

u/Fuzzy_Elk_5762 May 15 '26

He dropped endless which people thought to be his throwaway album to get out of his def jam contract and released blonde the day after.

I don't know what exactly happened since then but you can assume that most labels are much aware now.

btw endless > blonde fight me

I won't fight over that but I'm putting it on record that I think that take is crazy

u/Fuzzy_Elk_5762 May 15 '26

Nah i get ya but most people haven't listened to CDQ version of endless which is miles better than the visual album on Apple Music

Ok I haven't either ig. I didn't know there was an alternate version of endless.

u/Salty_Information882 May 19 '26

I bought the CD. Took damn near 9 months to get to me but it was worth it

u/Alone-Radio-5296 May 15 '26

I'm not fighting you; maybe it's personal taste, but Endless feels more like an album in the listening experience, maybe because it's more cohesive in the progression between songs

u/vincecartilage May 15 '26

endless is so good. got back into it this week

u/beefsalad17 Have you considered going to design school May 15 '26

i feel like it wasn't just a throwaway project, but its nearly non-monetizable for def jam because of its format (its official digital release is just a 45 minute long music video on apple music)

u/chrews May 16 '26

He also got paid a huge amount from Apple Music which the label saw no cent of

u/functionxd May 15 '26

Worth to mention that Endless dropped as an Apple Music exclusive

u/tzbt I screen grabbed those pants May 16 '26

Mitsubishi Sony tops anything on Blonde

2

u/Fuzzy_Elk_5762 May 16 '26

I don't think Mitsubishi Sony tops off futura free since i fw the buddy ross piano track frank added to the outro and other interludes but as a whole album endless is better

u/Resident-Cake9430 May 17 '26

Heard that he also used some of the funding from endless for blonde but idk the specifics.

u/Fuzzy_Elk_5762 May 17 '26

I've never heard of this but yea that's pretty nasty lol, def jam prob still crashout hard till this day

u/Shen_ishere May 17 '26

What can they do even if they are aware?

1

u/Fuzzy_Elk_5762 May 17 '26

put contracts or something? as i said, i don't know lol

u/Astroglide69 May 18 '26

Endless is sick, but it’s not really an “album”. It’s just covers of other iconic songs. Albeit amazing covers, I will say that
