Days after releasing his fascinating, production-forward new album, “The Life of Pablo,” Kanye West has alluded that there might be a lot more of his music to come.
On Monday afternoon, West took to Twitter to talk about “TLOP,” its permanent tie to Tidal, the streaming music service he bought into last year, and the planned return of his GOOD Fridays series, wherein he releases a new track every Friday.
My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale… You can only get it on Tidal.

Please to all my friends fans and music lovers. Sign up to Tidal now.

Also all Good Fridays songs will be on Tidal. Me and Kendrick got 40 songs and me and Young Thug got 40 songs. 40/40 club!!!

We could be reading this wrong, but that last Tweet seems to suggest that West has 80 tracks stock piled for GOOD Fridays to come. At one a week, that’d be a year-and-a-half of new Kanye West songs with just those two collaborators. (For all we know, he could have another 20 with Kid Cudi.)
Then again, West is known for making these kind of grandiose plans and not following up on them, particularly after releasing an album. After “Yeezus” dropped in 2013, West a follow-up to his Jay-Z collaboration, “Watch the Throne,” the following summer. We still haven’t heard it yet.
Still, if anyone could pull off something as crazy and audacious as this, it’s the dude who sold out Madison Square Garden playing .
