Kanye West’s ‘The Life Of Pablo’ Becomes First Stream-Only Album To Go Platinum [PEEP]

Kanye West continues his ‘The Life Of Pablo’ dominance by going certified platinum. In doing so, the album becomes the first-ever, stream-only album to earn an RIAA platinum certification.

Although the album was released last February, it earned the certification after it achieved over 3-billion streams according to a press release from Def Jam. The streams equate to 1-million equivalent album sales. Last year the album became the first-ever stream-only album to reach the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

The “living album” was exclusively released on TIDAL before being available on other streaming services a month later. It had several alterations, updates, and different versions of certain songs with different features. It was innovative in the sense that it went through different transformations and was a working piece of art.

BIG ups, Ye.

Kanye West Offers Free “Saint Pablo Tour” Tickets To Inner City Students [PEEP]

Kanye is doing it for the kids, bro.

The rapper has reportedly made it his duty to ensure that a “large number” of students are rewarded with free tickets to a special seventh show of the “Saint Pablo Tour” at The Forum in Inglewood. Ye has teamed up with inner-city schools and music programs in Los Angeles and Inglewood to secure free tickets for students.

This special seventh show of the “Saint Pablo Tour” at The Forum comes as a result of the sixth and final one being cut short by Kanye due to vocal chord issues. Read more about that HERE.

There will be a limited number of tickets going on sale this Friday to the public for the seventh show through Live Nation. Concertgoers that attended the November 3rd show will also have the opportunity to redeem tickets to the show.

Kanye West dropped the tour dates for his “The Saint Pablo” tour which will kick off in August. Earlier this year Ye teased the possibility of a tour coming.

Kanye West shows are super high energy and if you’ve never experienced one you should definitely make an attempt to snag some up. Tickets went on sale for American Express holders this morning and will go on sale for TIDAL subscribers Thursday at 10 a.m. The general public will be able to buy tickets beginning Saturday morning. Here’s a little of what to expect.

It’ll also be interesting to see who Kanye will be taking on the road with him. One name I’m more than certain will be on the tour is G.O.O.D. Music’s Desiigner after the uber success of his single “Panda” and his signing to the label.

Check all the tour dates out below:

Kanye West already has one of the most successful albums of the year with ‘The Life Of Pablo,’ and he is looking to follow the success with a tour.

He teased ‘The Life Of Pablo’ tour on Steve Harvey’s show Tuesday saying he could be hitting the road in September.

“My tour game is unprecedented,” he bragged to Harvey. “So we’re going to go out in September I believe, and we’re just working on some of the ideas right now.”

I’m excited to see the kind of creativity he will exude for the tour, from the merch to the stage design.

The tour is only in the planning stages, so there are no dates out or opening acts on the bill as of now. Although, it is safe to assume he will probably take his artist Desiigner on tour with him after the success “Panda” has had.

Keep it locked with us and we will share any further developments.
