Formerly known as Kanye West, and recently christened Ye, can also be distinguished as a powerhouse of narrative in the industry. Where it is the norm to be mass-producing, Ye can be seen as mass-producing, but with meaning. With some of the most iconic pieces of work under his belt, from his mark-making album 'The College Dropout', to the formidable and heart-touching ode to his late mother, 'Donda', home to the infamous and ambivalently received track, 'Life of The Party'.  

While it is of common knowledge for avid listeners, there is always a backstory, a glacier beneath the tip of Ye's lines of actions. And so was it seen in this particular omission from the world-famous 'Donda'. 

While creative clashes are a common occurrence in just about any industry that involves artistic involvement, what is not often the landscape is the gentle wave of creative disagreements that ensue upon the bestowing of one's self with the empathy to see the other. And so was the case when André 3000 had kindly and politely asked to be dropped off the collaboration track between him and Ye, 'Life of The Party', as he revealed in an interview with New York Times' Popcast.

The track, initially meant to be released as part of the album 'Donda' as aforementioned, had been reported to have been leaked by rival rapper Drake during his feud with Ye back in 2021. And hence, had been assumed as the reason for its removal from the album. But when dug deeper, it was revealed to the audience how André 3000 had wanted to have the unabridged version of the track included if released, to have his articulation of the track's be fully out there, and upon Ye's expression of reluctance to have a track such on an album dedicated to his mother, most civically requested to have it pulled from final-production. 

After an AI Outrage Against Ye’s ‘Vultures’ Album, Fans Stand Divided on Rapper’s Latest Outlook

With 2021 now a piece of ancient history in the very happening life of the golden-flag-bearing rapper, Ye seems to have smoothly transitioned into a new phase of his life, a 'new era', if one must. With fresh potential and a roster of high-profile collaborators, the polymath that is Ye is set to take things to the next level.

Having recently been seen frolicking around the brimming-with-culture country of Japan, Ye seems to have found a new home away from America and its cons. With news of his oncoming release 'Bully' spreading its rage like wildfire as the audience is being teased with its scraps, Ye is being speculated for a collaboration with 'RICH HUSTLE' rapper Jim Jones, as they were spotted clubbing together in Tokyo.  

With the second installation of 'Vultures', Ye's unit with Ty Dolla $ign, still fresh in everyone's minds, the audience edges in their seats in anticipation as the boundary-pushing rapper tries to ease his way into being invincible in the new age. Given how 'Bully' is already wrecking havoc, one might say he has already succeeded.
