Kanye West has announced the 'final' tracklisting for his upcoming album and revealed what the initials T.L.O.P. stand for.

The album formally known as So Help Me God, Swish and Waves will - according to this latest update - be called The Life of Pablo. The name change comes just hours before the album’s release and the Yeezy Season 3 show.

Speculators have begun wondering which Pablo he is referring to, the general consensus being that the Yeezus rapper is comparing himself to the artist Pablo Picasso, while Escobar - the notorious drug lord - has also been thrown around.

If you Google "Greatest Artist of the 20th Century" Pablo Picasso's name appears; Kanye has, in recent weeks, been calling himself the one of the greatest artists of all time.

Accompanying a handwritten track list for the album was the question ‘Which One?’ which could either be aimed at the name Pablo or the black dots next to the song names. Some think he could be asking which song should be released as a single.

Notably, the Kendrick Lamar featuring track “No More Parties in LA” has been dropped from the album, as have the previously unheard tracks “Waves” and “30 Hours”.

The Life of Pablo tracklist is as follows (for now):

1. Ultra Light Beam

2. Father Stretch My Hands Pt 1 • Pt 2

3. Freestyle 4

4. Famous

5. Highlights

6. Feedback

7. Fade

8. FML

9. Real Friends

10. Wolves
