It isn’t the new album, but kudos to Mrs. Kardashian-West
Today provided a whirlwind of emotions to Kanye West fans, and while a misinterpreted promise was never delivered upon, Kim Kardashian-West still gets points for making her husband’s day a meaningful one.
Yeezy turned 38 years old today, and with this cryptic tweet, Kim Kardashian hinted at the possibility of new music from Kanye, whose new album, Swish, has been included in Apple Music exclusive release rumors for the better part of the last month.
Kanye’s bday today is gonna be a major SWISH!!! I planned the craziest surprise! Will share later! Sooooo excited!!!!!!

That potential hint took on a life of its own when Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference began around 1 p.m. today, and both Drake and Pharrell, who were also rumored–then later confirmed–to be a part of the launch of Apple Music, took part via live speech (Drake) or an exclusive song preview (Pharrell).
However, the Swish Kim referred to in her tweet had nothing to do with music. The soon-to-be mother of 2 rented out the Staples Center, and invited several of Kanye’s friends, including John Wall and Tyga, to play pickup games on the Los Angeles Lakers’ legendary home floor.
Nice.
