“It’s messed up that one hacker can mess everything up for everyone,” West wrote late last night, after “All of the Lights” appeared. (The song was promptly pulled from most sites.) “I love to take a year to finish my songs and deliver them to you guys in [their] most completed form. It would have seemed like since I give free music every week even the lowest form of human being would respect that enough not to leak unfinished songs from my real album.” Kanye added that four engineers are currently in the process of mixing the album in time for it’s still-unannounced release date.
