![]() ![]() And, thanks to Kanye, Wyoming now has got its own Wes Lang–designed merch: ’90s inspired T-shirts and sweatshirts, with a picture of the state’s beautiful snowy landscape and WYOMING in neon green writing. It’s where Hypebeasts went to take part in one of the most random, gassed-up cultural events of the summer (Sigh.) Does Wyoming know what Off-White is? Because Off-White could swiftly become the new official State Motto: “Wyoming, the Off-White State.” The mountain landscape is now immortalized on the album cover - a picture Kanye snapped on his iPhone on the way to the listening. It’s where Teyana Taylor, Lil Yachty, Kim Kardashian West, and Jonah Hill all hang out together. Now, more publicly, Live Nation Entertainment and G.O.O.D. ![]() Wyoming, once known as the Equality State, is now where Chris Rock introduced Kanye West’s new album. It’s rumored that Kanye West held a listening party in Las Vegas this past weekend to play songs from his long-teased album Donda. Wyoming’s social-media editor must be overwhelmed. The official Wyoming twitter account has yet to acknowledge all the attention is getting right now. Thanks to Yeezy, Wyoming is having its Forks moment, at least for one news cycle. Remember when Twilight came out in 2008, and all of a sudden people were so into Forks, Washington - the small, foggy town where the movie was set? There were all these articles about the tourism boom in Forks thanks to Twi-hards who had to go, like, lie in the same field where Edward exposed his glitter chest. Who doesn’t love a ridiculous, exhausting spectacle? The listening party, announced on Pusha T’s Instagram account on 19 July, set off a scramble for tickets originally priced at 20 and 50, which many assumed would sell out quickly. Wyoming was all anyone could talk about! People were treating Wyoming like a Supreme drop! Wyoming! Now a synonym for “exhausting.” Wyoming! A synonym for spectacle. At some point yesterday, a few Wyoming-related tweets started cropping up - mysterious for all of those who hadn’t been invited - but by late afternoon, as people boarded private planes and prepared to spend the evening at the Yeezy retreat located at a beautiful, enormous (thanks, Instagram) ranch called Diamond Cross, Wyoming achieved Twitter moments status. In advance of the album drop, West flew a number of journalists, music industry people, and celebrities out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to listen to the album in the state where it was recorded. (suburbs) went to Babyface Rays rolling loud set (hes a huge fan of paperwork party lol). Apparently the only good thing to come out of YE drop day is … Wyoming? Congratulations, Wyoming. I was watching the Kanye listening party then all of a sudden The Universal music group fucks everything up. It’s neither a train wreck nor a triumph, so the discussions it inspires will probably be just as meh a the album itself. There is not a lot of good to come out of this situation, given how much Kanye’s been trying us for the past month: the music is mediocre. As promised, Kanye West released an album last night, YE, a collection of seven songs in which he name checks Stormy Daniels, says some dumb shit about slavery, and raps about Tristian Thompson. ![]()
