During the months before its release, the album's title and tracklist went through several publicized changes. West premiered an early version at <a href="/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden" title="Madison Square Garden">Madison Square Garden</a> on February 11, 2016, as part of his <a href="/wiki/Adidas_Yeezy" title="Adidas Yeezy">Yeezy Season 3</a> fashion show. After several additional sessions and alterations, the exclusive launch occurred for streaming on <a href="/wiki/Tidal_(service)" title="Tidal (service)">Tidal</a> three days later. Following its official streaming debut, West continued to make changes to The Life of Pablo. A largely updated version of it, including alternate mixes and other changes, was made available on other streaming services and for digital purchase on his website on April 1, 2016. The singles "<a href="/wiki/Famous_(Kanye_West_song)" title="Famous (Kanye West song)">Famous</a>", the two-part "<a href="/wiki/Father_Stretch_My_Hands" title="Father Stretch My Hands">Father Stretch My Hands</a>", and "<a href="/wiki/Fade_(Kanye_West_song)" title="Fade (Kanye West song)">Fade</a>" were released to support it in 2016. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, with particular attention being paid to the fragmented, unfinished nature of the composition and release. Multiple publications named it one of 2016's best albums, with <a href="/wiki/Paste_(magazine)" title="Paste (magazine)">Paste</a> ranking it on their list of "The 300 Greatest Albums of All Time". The Life of Pablo received five nominations at the <a href="/wiki/59th_Annual_Grammy_Awards" title="59th Annual Grammy Awards">2017 Grammy Awards</a>, including <a href="/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Rap_Album" title="Grammy Award for Best Rap Album">Best Rap Album</a>, though the <a href="/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year" title="Grammy Award for Album of the Year">Album of the Year</a> rejection was deemed a snub by numerous publications. Following Tidal's initial disclosure of its <a href="/wiki/Streaming_data" title="Streaming data">streaming data</a> and its release to competing streaming services, the album debuted at number one on the US <a href="/wiki/Billboard_200" title="Billboard 200">Billboard 200</a>, becoming the first to reach the summit primarily through streaming, and was ultimately certified <a href="/wiki/RIAA_certification" title="RIAA certification">triple platinum</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America" title="Recording Industry Association of America">Recording Industry Association of America</a> (RIAA).

creative expression".<a href="#cite_note-fader-35">[35]</a> On March 13, 2016, over a month after the release, West uploaded an updated version of "Famous", swapping out the lyric "She be Puerto Rican day parade wavin'" for "She in school to be a real estate agent", as well as making slight tweaks to the overall mix.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> Three days later, West updated the album's Tidal

"new updates, new versions and new iterations" in the following months, calling it "a continuous process".<a href="#cite_note-The_New_York_Times-40">[40]</a> A minor update was published on April 2,

state of the 'album cycle' to see if he can break it entirely, making his album like another piece of software on your phone that sends you push updates".<a href="#cite_note-pitchfork-43">[43]</a> Winston Cook-Wilson of <a href="/wiki/Inverse_(website)" title="Inverse (website)">Inverse</a> described the album as "a fluid construct", writing that "as a way of holding the public's attention

while observing that "Pablo frequently (some might say abruptly) toggles between Sad Kanye and the bombastic and celebratory Kanye".<a href="#cite_note-rahman-64">[64]</a> McCormick described West as "constantly veering between swaggering bravado and insecurity bordering on paranoia, smashing the sacred against the profane and disrupting his own flowing grooves with interjections".<a
