West has vowed never to release the project across physical formats, instead relying on streaming to drive its success. The Life of Pablo-and obviously, Toyomu’s project*-*wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the internet. The project isn’t so much a recreation as it is an uncanny, absurd outlier among the scores of fanservice-y ’Ye mash-ups populating the internet. Thanks to WhoSampled and Genius, the producer was able to assemble a complete listing of every last obscure sample and punchline featured on the record, providing Toyomu with the material for his own " Album of the Life:" 印象III : なんとなく、パブロ, or (Imagining "The Life of Pablo"). Ironically, the same digital forces that kept him from hearing the album proved key to his reinterpretation. "I thought it might be a good idea to make the whole album without listening to it," he told Pigeons and Planes.

The solution couldn’t be more obvious for Toyomu, a Kyoto-based producer and ’Ye diehard: if he couldn’t listen to The Life of Pablo, he’d have to make his own version. In other words, while we’ve been blasting three different incarnations of Kanye West’s latest album The Life of Pablo for two months, over 127 million people have been sitting in the dark until the album’s broader global re-release earlier this month, 2016’s most-hyped album was little more than a Dark Tidal Fantasy. Moreover, the major streaming services (and their exclusive releases) have yet to become available in the country. Unlike most of the world, Japan didn’t experience the Napster revolution in fact, the supposedly obsolete CD continues to account for about 85 percent of sales. And yet, across the sea in Japan, folks continue to play by the rules-and what’s more, they’re on track to surpass the United States as the world’s most lucrative music market. For years now, sheriffs at Apple Music and Tidal have struggled to convince customers in the Americas, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere to pay for their damn music already. Kanye keeps spazzing on the cousin who stole his laptop, but the real familial star of this joint is Aubrey's Uncle Larry.Between the piracy, the leaks, the surprise releases, and the streaming service arms race, today’s recording industry is closer to the Wild West than a longstanding global market. More surprisingly, the instrumental for “No More Parties In LA” features a brief sample taken from a track recorded in 1980 by one Larry Graham, brother of Dennis Graham, and uncle to Drake. In addition to tracks by Junie Morrison and Johnny Guitar Watson, Kanye brought back the Ghostface Killah vocal sample he used on “New God Flow” back in 2012.
When it finally hit Soundcloud, the digital crate diggers at WhoSampled were quick to trace the beat’s sonic origins.

While the original instrumental was assembled by Madlib and 'Ye during the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions, Kim Kardashian revealed that Kanye put some last minute work into updating the track after a trip to Italy last week. The Madlib-produced, Kendrick Lamar-featuring "No More Parties in LA" absolutely slaps, and Kanye certainly agrees based on the video above that features him rapping unreleased lyrics from the track: "Kid Cudi told me paint the black hole darker." One very interesting anecdote is that Drake's uncle is sampled on the track. Mondays-have returned as this week’s installment arrived a little later than expected from Kanye West.
