Kanye West just let his Twitter fingers fly once again this afternoon, in which he called out the Grammys for ignoring Future, Young Thug and A$AP Rocky while declaring “the world needs a guy like me.” In the midst of all that, Kanye unexpectedly made a major announcement: he’s dropping a new album this summer.
Now, it’s unclear whether Ye’s referring to a new project entirely, or that’s when the “final version” of The Life of Pablo will eventually be released. And this is Kanye West, let’s not forget, so a clear answer isn’t going to come easy. But considering he just debuted a new song featuring Sampha last night, Kanye’s clearly got more good music on deck (no pun intended). Stay tuned.
New album coming this summer

I don’t give opinions because they are commonly agreed upon. I say what I feel.

I feel the Grammy awarding system is way off and completely out of touch.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
Hi Grammys this is the most important living artist talking.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
If I’m not at the show next year then there is no show.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
I don’t want to just fix the awards for me but I want to fix it for Dexter Navy who directed A$AP Rocky’s LSD video.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
Everybody with any form of taste knows that was the best video of the year!
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
Dexter didn’t feel he even had a chance of winning and he was right!!!
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
You guys are supposed to be all about taste.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
You like your black people a certain way also. You wouldn’t have Future perform and that man owned the clubs last summer.

First order of business. We the people need to see Future at the Grammys.

We need to see Young Thug at the Grammys. Not just me and Jay in a suit.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
People ask why I speak in a public forum… Well my voice is my power. Freedom of speech. Freedom of opinion. Freedom of dreams.

I just had to start with shoes so that I could be economically empowered enough to have a voice.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
What is your definition of true freedom? There is no true freedom without economic freedom.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
Respect to everyone working hard to keep a roof over their kids
