Kanye West hasn’t had a great week. With his tweets getting more attention than the release of his new album, The Life of Pablo, and the news that he is $53 million in debt, the rapper may have also entered a feud with an unlikely person: Edward Snowden.
The Life of Pablo (TLOP) has so far received mixed reviews… from those that have been able to listen to it. With the new release only being available on Tidal – a service so faulty that some reported not being able to sign up for it this weekend – West’s fans have been requesting that he release it to a more accessible platform.
“exclusive to Tidal” basically means searching “zippyshare & CDQ”

Kanye’s album will only be on tidal? Oh sick it’s kinda like it never even came out.

However, on Sunday the artist tweeted that he would not sell his album for another week.
Please for all music lovers. Please subscribe to tidal!!! I decided not to sell my album for another week. Please subscribe to tidal.

The desperate tone reminded Snowden of another public plea…
The “please clap” reference is a jab at Jeb Bush’s now infamous request during a speech in New Hampshire, during which he had to implore the crowd to demonstrate its support for his ideas.
Kanye has yet to respond to the fugitive National Security Agency whistleblower. But will this become the next Ghostface vs Shkreli? Only time will tell.
My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale… You can only get it on Tidal.
