Kanye West just put out a new album. It’s called The Life of Pablo. You might have heard of it thanks to his recent shenanigans on twitter where he got into an entertaining feud with Kendrick Lamar, among other things. He’s been in the news a lot.
Kanye took a couple years in between the release of Yeezus and The Life of Pablo, but it seems that he now has other plans as he says he plans to release another album this Summer. Oh yeah, and the working title for the album is currently TurboGrafx 16.
If that doesn’t ring any bells for you, the TurboGrafx 16 was a gaming console released back in 1989 in North America. It didn’t fare as well in North America as it did elsewhere, but the games themselves eventually ended up on Nintendo’s virtual console, where you can still pick them up.

Whether or not Kanye will actually go with the name Turbo Grafx 16 for his new album remains to be seen. Kanye changed the name of his most recent album a few times, moving from So Help Me God, to SWISH, and Waves before ultimately settling on The Life of Pablo. Here’s to hoping the name sticks! Either way, more Kanye is a good thing.
