{"product_id":"kanye-west-ye","title":"Kanye West - ye","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeven songs, under half an hour, and a mountain photo with a confession scrawled across it: Kanye West's ye is one of the most compact and candid records in his catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2018, it was recorded in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, during a stretch of headlines and creative restlessness. Instead of a sprawling statement, he delivered a short, raw document of mood swings, family and mental health. The cover says it plainly, with \"I hate being Bi-Polar its awesome\" written in neon green over the Teton Range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener \"I Thought About Killing You\" begins as an unsettling spoken confession before the beat finally lands, and \"Yikes\" carries a jittery, anxious energy. The emotional high point is \"Ghost Town,\" where Kid Cudi and 070 Shake push the song toward a cathartic, wide-open release, while closer \"Violent Crimes\" turns tender, a father's worried note about raising daughters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production is spare and soulful, built around chopped samples, warm keys and plenty of open space for the voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn vinyl, its brevity becomes a strength, with one side flipping into the next before the tension has time to fade. It remains a divisive, fascinating snapshot of a turbulent moment, and a key piece for collectors following his albums in order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165859782961,"sku":"602567784692","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Kanye_West-ye.jpg?v=1793185894","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/kanye-west-ye","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
