Kanye West is one of the most legendary artists out there, even if he has gone off the deep end with his political opinions. Overall, he has a ton of classic albums to his name. Moreover, he has some very good albums that others would rank lower in his discography. One of those albums would be Ye which dropped back in 2018. This was part of that iconic rollout that included a ton of amazing GOOD Music drops. Daytona was part of this, as was Kids See Ghosts. However, Ye was the most anticipated due to the fact that it was a solo album with Kanye at the helm.
This album is now turning five years old, which is hard to believe. It dropped on June 1st of 2018, and remains a massive success. Although there are only seven tracks on this project, it made an impact in a short amount of time. There are some solid tracks throughout and even some great features. However, the final two tracks featuring 070 Shake are the ones people really remember. One of these is “Violent Crime” which is the final song. The penultimate track is “Ghost Town,” an effort that also includes Kid Cudi and PARTYNEXTDOOR.
Kanye West Was In His Bag
Throughout this amazing song, we get soulful samples and some fantastic chord progressions. Moreover, 070 Shake truly stole the show and became a star on this track. The artist comes in on the back half of the song and delivers some truly fantastic vocals. Furthermore, the anthemic nature of the production is some of Kanye’s best. To this day, “Ghost Town” is the song that elicits some of the strongest nostalgia for the album.
While Ye did have its shortcoming as a project, “Ghost Town” was not one of them. Let us know your favorite song on this album, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the music world. We will always keep you informed.
Quotable Lyrics:
You might think they wrote you off
They gon' have to rope me off
Some day the drama'll be gone
And they'll pray, it's not enough
Sometimes I take all the shine
Talk like I drank all the wine
