Unbeknownst Read Full Bioye is Kanye West’s eighth solo studio album. The album discusses topics in Kanye’s life, including mental health, family, and addiction. He also explicitly announces his diagnosis with bipolar disorder through the album’s artwork and a proclamation within the album.
The seven-song project was premiered on June 1, 2018, at an exclusive listening party hosted in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where the album was primarily created. This listening party was also live-streamed on WAV Media. At the listening party, comedian Chris Rock announced that the album was simply titled ye, although the title had initially been teased as LOVE EVERYONE. Unbeknownst to fans, Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s wife, had teased the title hours prior to the announcement.
In an interview with Big Boy conducted during the Wyoming festivities, Kanye explained his decision to name the album ye:
"I believe ‘ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and, in the Bible, it means ‘you,’ so it’s “I’m you, I’m us, it’s us.” It went from being Kanye, which means the only one, to just ye – just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything, that I’m just more of a reflection of who we are, just as beings."
Kanye also revealed in this interview that after his infamous TMZ interview (in which he stated that he believes slavery was a choice), he completely re-did his album with an entirely new theme. The fate of the original songs is currently unknown.
ye is the second album in a five-album series of releases that are entirely produced by Kanye. It was preceded by Pusha-T’s DAYTONA, and succeeded by KIDS SEE GHOSTS (his collaborative album with Kid Cudi), Nas‘ NASIR, and Teyana Taylor’s K.T.S.E.
The existence of the album was initially made public on April 19, 2018, when Kanye tweeted the expected release date.
On May 15, 2018, Kanye tweeted a video displaying the working tracklists for his upcoming projects, his labeled “Ye.” At the time the video was shot, only two songs had been added to Ye’s album: “Wouldn’t Leave” and “Extacy” (which was later retitled “XTCY” and released on August 11, 2018). The video also displayed “Ghost Town” as a track on Ye and Kid Cudi’s collaborative album KIDS SEE GHOSTS, but it now appears as track 6 on ye.
On June 10, 2018, ye became Kanye’s 8th consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.

I Thought About Killing You
Kanye West Lyrics
I know, I know, I know, I know, know
I, I know it, I know it (I know, I know, I know, I know, know)
The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest
Today I seriously thought about killing you
I contemplated, premeditated murder
And I think about killing myself
And I love myself way more than I love you, so
Today I thought about killing you, premeditated murder
You'd only care enough to kill somebody you love
The most beautiful thoughts are always inside the darkest
Just say it out loud to see how it feels
People say, "Don't say this, don't say that"
Just say out loud, just to see how it feels
Weigh all the options, nothing's off the table
Today I thought about killing you, premeditated murder
I think about killing myself, and I, I love myself way more than I love you
The most beautiful thoughts are always beside the darkest
I think this is the part where I'm supposed to say something good
To compensate it so it doesn't come off bad
But sometimes I think really bad things
Really, really, really bad things
And I love myself way more than I love you
See, if I was tryna relate it to more people
I'd probably say I'm struggling with loving myself
Because that seems like a common theme
But that's not the case here
I love myself way more than I love you
And I think about killing myself
So, best believe, I thought about killing you today
Premeditated murder
I called up my loved ones, I called up my cousins
I called up the Muslims, said I'm 'bout to go dumb
Get so bright it's no sun, get so loud I hear none
Screamed so loud got no lungs, hurt so bad, I go numb
Time to bring in the drums, that prrt-pum-pum-pum
Set the NewTone on 'em, set the nuke off on 'em
I need coke with no rum, I taste coke on her tongue
I don't joke with no one, they'll say, "He died so young"
I done had a bad case of too many bad days
Got too many bad traits
Used the floor for ashtrays
I don't do shit halfway, I'ma clear the cache
I'ma make my name last, put that on my last name
It's a different type of rules that we obey
Ye, Ye, Ye season, nigga, we obey
We was all born to die, nigga, DOA
Niggas say they hero, mm, I don't see no cape
Mm, I don't see no, mm, yeah, I don't see no, mm, mm
If I wasn't shinin' so hard, wouldn't be no shade
Buckwheat ass nigga, it's 'gon be otay
Young nigga shit, nigga, we don't age
I thought I was past my Deebo ways
Even when I went broke, I ain't break
How you gon' hate? Nigga, we go way back
To when I had the braids and you had the wave cap
Drop a pin for the fade and I'm on my way ASAP
Don't get socked in the mouth, you know homie don't play that
Pay the fire marshal bill 'cause this shit done got way packed
They wanna see me go ape (ape, ape)
All you gotta do is speak on Ye
All you gotta do is speak on Ye
Don't get your tooth chipped like Frito-Lay

When ye first dropped, I didn't really listen to Kanye much. I was a sophomore in high school, and had only listened to a few tracks. Soon enough I fell in love with his music, but my life began to slowly... Fall apart. I had split up with the girl I had been dating, and this was met with scrutiny from all sides. Everyone had their eyes on me, and I met harassment for everything that I did. I kept slipping further and further into a hole I couldn't get out of. I was sad, then angry, and then... Nothing. School was exhausting, my hobbies were exhausting, everything was exhausting. I just felt like a shell, stumbling from place to place. But one day, I realized I hadn't listened to ye in a while.
This song started and it felt like something else. The droning of the beat, Kanye's auto tuned humming, I felt like I wasn't even in the room any more. And then Kanye started speaking, not even rapping or singing just... Thinking. It felt like he was just perfectly articulating what I had been feeling for months. He sounded like he was talking to someone else, but it was him. He was talking about himself, as always. The way I had been felt like I wasn't even myself anymore. I loved it when I was happy from time to time, I loved myself. But some days I just had to pilot around this zombie of a person who ruined everything. I hated that person, I just wished he would die and-
"Say it aloud, just to see how it feels."
That line caught me off guard. I said "I want to kill myself." to the walls of my bedroom. I said it again, louder and looking into my mirror. And you know what I did? I cried. I bawled my eyes out. I cried till I didn't have any tears left. I had felt like that for so long, but hearing it come out of my own mouth gave it weight. The magnitude of it frightened me, and still does to this day.
Once I had re-collected myself, I listened to the song again. It felt like every line was written in my soul. It was more than music. It felt like I was no longer starring at myself through a mirror but seeing someone else through a window. It felt like a hand reaching out, pulling me up. It was so comforting, knowing that I wasn't alone in this. That someone as larger than life as Kanye West was going through it too.
Later that year I ended up seeing a therapist. It was hard to open up, but once I did I just laid it out. I cried, I laughed, but it felt so refreshing to just get it all out. They gave me a foothold, things to work towards. What to do, how to avoid things. How to keep yourself from falling into that pit.
It's been about a year now since then. I've grown a lot, I'm a lot happier for one. I feel in control of myself now than I ever did. But sometimes, I may start to slip or just feel down. But what I always do is put on this album, and be greeted by this track. It's like a beacon in the night, guiding me. Knowing that where ever I am, how low I feel, this album is there to bring me back out.
"The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest."
Keep your head up, guys. You're not alone in this Ghost Town. <3

Mm, I don't see no, mm, yeah, I don't see no, mm, mm
If I wasn't signed to so hard, wouldn't be no shade
Buckwheat ass nigga, it's 'gon be otay
Young nigga shit, nigga, we don't age
I thought I was past my Deebo ways
Even when I went broke, I ain't break
How you gon' hate? Nigga, we go way back

Drop a pin for the fade and I'm on my way ASAP
Don't get socked in the mouth, you know homie don't play that
Pay the fire marshal bill 'cause this shit done got way packed
They wanna see me go ape (ape, ape)
All you gotta do is speak on Ye
All you gotta do is speak on Ye
Don't get your tooth chipped like Frito-Lay

"I hate being bi polar it's awesome" is such a simple but accurate way to describe the struggle of flipping between depression and mania. Mania can feel great in the moment but then you realize how destructive some of your impulses are and regret them when you're falling and that feeds into the cycle of depression then you shift again hyping yourself up and it eats you from the inside.

I can't speak for anybody else, but the brand(tm) of bipolar that runs through my family didn't get this particular aspect of it.
From what I can tell, this is a pretty common presentation of BD (and obviously it's relatable to you and your experience), but mania has a lot of different flavors. My grandmother, father, and myself tend towards a kind of paranoid angry mania, where it's just kinda like being swarmed by wasps constantly. Rather than any euphoria/godlike feelings, there's just a lot of buzzing energy and delusion and suddenly thinking everybody (including yourself) is evil and wants to hurt you.
I don't really disagree with you though, and I hope it doesn't sound like that. My point basically is that as much as Kanye can get under my skin, I think this album and song do a great job of capturing that angle of bipolar disorder as well. So I just wanted to throw my perspective out there in case anyone else has similar circumstances

I’m worried all the “quirky” people will start printing this onto shirts and making an aesthetic out of it.
