Kanye Names New Album 'The Life Of Pablo'.

Kanye West has called his new album T.L.O.P, which stands for 'The Life Of Pablo'.

At this moment it has not been confirmed as to which Pablo, Kanye speaks of.

I thought "is it his dad?"..but no his father's name is Ray West.

Then I put on my thinking cap and thought....Pablo Picasso. "No I'm not going down the typical route and say he's speaking about Pablo Escobar."

Pablo Picasso

I say this because Picasso was a man that done everything, he was a painter, sculptor, stage designer, poet and a playwright.
Is Kanye not the 21st century Picasso?

No he isn't a sculptor or Painter that we know of but he has the same intuitiveness that Picasso had - Creating a movement, starting a legacy.

He has it in him to do any and everything.

Picasso also has close ties to Chi Town.

The Chicago Picasso

He donated this sculptor to the people of Chicago and refused payment of $100,000.

Kanye and Picasso have a lot in common.

1. Picasso's art was often deemed as "ambiguous and controversial." - Kanye's work can be deemed this as well, sometimes.

"What the media cannot control they try to shut down....and they do this by categorising him as controversial."

2. Kanye and Picasso will not conform to what other's want. They want to be heard, but on their terms.

"This is exactly how Picasso was looked at...he had things to stand up for, but could only do this through his artwork."

3. They are both very influenced by the Parisian environment.

"Kanye is alway going to Paris, whilst Pablo spent most of his life there."

I'm sticking with Pablo Picasso.

Before Kanye debuted the full title of his album he gave the clue, T.L.O.P.

Kanye tweeted whoever could guess the full name of his album would win tickets to his Madison Square Garden Show.


I reckon I guessed real close.

My Predictions

"The Life Of Pi."

"The Life Of Power."
