If you wanted to buy Kanye West's new album The Life of Pablo on CD, you may be out of luck. In the latest of his many recent Twitter musings, the "Famous" rapper revealed that he may never have another physical release again.
Citing his Yeezus album artwork as "an open casket to CDs," the always-honest rapper admitted that he's thinking of only ever streaming his new releases in the future, even definitively stating that there will be "no more CDs from me."
Uuuuum... hi everybody!

West's latest thoughts on releasing music and CDs fall in line with the rollout of his latest album The Life of Pablo. Though a physical release was intially promised, West later stated that he will only release the record on TIDAL (of which he is a partial owner) and that it will never have a physical release (or a release on Apple Music).
My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale... You can only get it on Tidal.
