West began work on the album in late 2013 when it was still known as ''So Help Me God'', and it was intended for a release in 2014 with Music/RickRubin and [[Music/ATribeCalledQuest Q-Tip]] helping with production. In 2015, he renamed it to ''SWISH'', and at the start of 2016 he revived the GOOD Fridays initiative that he started with ''Music/MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy'' to promote the album, in which a new single is released every Friday.

West premiered the album on February 11 (its announced release date) at Madison Square Garden as part of his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line presentation, but ended up delaying it slightly further to refine the tracklist one last time and to include the track "Waves" at the request of Music/ChanceTheRapper.

The album was met with generally positive critical reception, although the [[GenreRoulette kaleidoscopic and fluctuating sound]] presented was met with [[BrokenBase more mixed reviews]].

Added DiffLines:

* OverlyLongGag: Half of the runtime of "30 Hours" is an extended outro of Kanye ad-libbing, [[LampshadeHanging admitting it's an overly-long ad-libbing]], even suddenly getting a call from Creator/{{Def Jam|Recordings}} executive VP Gabe Tesoriero. It's worth noting this outro is only present on the album recording -- prior versions ended much sooner, and based on context clues (including a mention of a scheduled Madison Square Garden listening party), it seems to have been a last-minute addition.

* MeaningfulName: The title ''The Life of Pablo'' reflects three historical Pablos that personally influence Kanye: Creator/PabloPicasso, Pablo Escobar, and Apostle Paul (known in Spanish as "Pablo"). [[https://hiphopwired.com/502249/kanye-west-finally-says-pablo-inspired-new-album-title-video/ From Ye's own words]]:
-->"[Saint Paul] really influenced and was the strongest influencer of Christianity. Pablo Escobar was the biggest mover of product, and Pablo Picasso is the biggest mover of art. That mix between message, product, and art is ''The Life of Pablo''."
