Kanye West CDs are apparently a thing of the past. The Chicago rapper/designer/entertaining tweeter took to his timeline on Monday (March 7) to discuss his stance on physical music releases.
“I was thinking about not making CDs ever again… Only streaming,” he said before referencing the cover art of his 2013 effort Yeezus. “The Yeezus album packaging was an open casket to CDs r.i.p.”
He continued, “uuuuuuum, so there it is… No more CDs from me,” before launching into a reflective Twitter moment.
