Kanye West changes LP title again, set to reward those who guessed it correctly

11 February 2016, 08:30 | Written by Laurence Day

Kanye West's new album is now called The Life Of Pablo, after being changed from Waves, which was changed from SWISH, which was changed from So Help Me God.

Ye has also updated the tracklist once more, dropping Kendrick Lamar collab "No More Parties In L.A." from the running order.

Earlier this week Kanye seemed pretty confident that no one would correctly guess the title of the new album.

He'd revealed the initials T.L.O.P., but that wasn't super helpful to most. However, a few eagle-eared fans spotted that Kanye used the name Pablo heavily in "No More Parties In L.A.".

Some people also reckon it's inspired by the parallels between Googling "the greatest artist of the 20th century" and then Googling "the greatest artist of the 21st century".

Regardless of the meaning, Kanye seems to be holding up his end of the guessing-game bargain, with close collaborator Elon Rutberg Tweeting:

Included on new LP are "Real Friends" and "Fade" - which features Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign and was teased last year during a DJ set - and "Wolves", Kanye's Sia and Vic Mensa team up, which was debuted at his Yeezy Season 1 launch show.

Recent cut "Facts" - along with the gigantic "All Day" and tender "Only One" - also don't appear to be on the album.

Kanye's new album The Life Of Pablo is set to be released on TODAY. It will follow 2013's Yeezus.

Kanye's new album and Yeezy Season 3, his latest fashion line, would be broadcast live from Madison Square Garden at cinemas worldwide.

You can watch it live on Tidal across the world from 4pm ET (9pm GMT).
