Kanye West Drops Album, Actually Calls Out Tristan Thompson


So… THIS is why Kanye West has been ranting and raving for the past several weeks?


On the evening of May 31, 2018, the rapper debuted his first full-length project since 2016’s The Life of Pablo, holding a listening party for fans in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.


Along with some journalists and music industry heavyweights stars such as Chris Rock, Jonah Hill, Big Sean and Pusha T were in attendance.


We learned West"s new, seven-track album is titled "YE" and we learned he has a lot to say about his marriage and about Tristan Thompson cheating on his sister-in-law.


Scroll down for a look inside this listening party… and for a rundown of Kanye"s most pointed new lyrics:




1. It’s All Led to This Moment

Kanye has spent his return to the spotlight singing the praises of Donald Trump and saying black people CHOSE to be slaves. Was it all in promotion of this record? And will the destination make that controversial journey worthwhile for the artist?



2. Here We Go, Folks

Chris Rock joked about Kanye’s run of ridiculous remarks, introducing the new album by telling those in attendance: “Hip-hop is the first art form created by free black men. And no black man has taken more advantage of his freedom than Kanye West.”



3. What Does Kanye Have to Say?

These new songs feature appearances by Kid Cudi, Ty Dolla $ ign and Nicki Minaj. They touch on everything from the superstar’s mental health and drug addiction … to Tristan’s cheating scandal.



4. Until Death Does Them Part?

Yup. Kanye rapped about his slavery comments and Kim’s reaction: “Wife calling screaming saying we’re about to lose it all I had to calm her down cuz she couldn’t breathe/I told her she could leave me now but she wouldn’t leave. This is what they mean for better or for worse huh?”



5. So There Was Something to Those Divorce Rumors?

Maybe the D-Word was never dropped, but sounds like this report about the couple’s marriage wasn’t TOTALLY off base.
