When Kanye West declares "It's been a shaky ass year" on 2018's Ye, it's an understatement. During a tumultuous period following 2016's The Life of Pablo, he garnered as much attention for headline controversy as for his music: he was hospitalized for stress and exhaustion following the cancellation of his Saint Pablo tour, later revealing a struggle with opioid addiction, and a disastrous pre-album promotion cycle was packed with provocative political proclamations. West's world seemed to be spiraling out of control. As the lines between public life and studio recordings blurred, the two became increasingly inextricable, culminating with his complicated eighth effort, Ye. While Pablo delved into the darker corners of fame and family, Ye is messier and more uncomfortable, especially when heard in the context of his high-profile outbursts preceding its release. West places mental health at the center, complicating his usual bravado. On the opening "I Thought About Killing You," West delivers a stream-of-consciousness confessional about morality, murder, and suicide from an imaginary therapist's office sofa. Designed to shock, it feels like an interlude, not a full-fledged song. Ye improves from there, as West switches gears on "Yikes," dropping the album's first delectable beat and matching it with an equally addictive flow. It recalls West's early spirit, an enticement for audiences to keep listening. When he boasts, "That's my bipolar shit/That's my superpower," he embraces his issues and defies challengers with self-affirmation. For all the awkward times when West forces listeners to confront his internal struggles, Ye has moments of clarity. "Ghost Town" shines, serving as an appetizer to the superior Kid Cudi collaboration Kids See Ghosts that arrived the week after Ye. Along with Cudi and breakthrough newcomer 070 Shake, West offers a glimmer of hope, facing failure and reigniting optimism and personal acceptance by proclaiming, "And nothing hurts anymore/I feel kinda free." "Wouldn't Leave" is a touching ode to his wife's loyalty, while "No Mistakes" maintains tenderness, recalling early-2000s Kanye with its uplifting, old-school production. The reflective "Violent Crimes," directed toward his daughters, is an effort to atone for his past misogyny, but closes Ye with a whimper, confusing its message with a voicemail cameo from Nicki Minaj. Ye can feel uneven, sometimes boring, and more indulgent than usual, but it's a fascinating peek into West's psyche. Like Pablo, Ye may be firmly tied to its surrounding public drama, yet it's a rough-hewn, vital piece to the puzzle for those still willing to humor West and his many demons. Pushing the mental health discussion into such a public space, he challenges listeners' limits while leaving himself vulnerable for judgment. Taken as a snapshot of his state of mind at the time -- and in relation to the adjacent GOOD Music releases recorded simultaneously during the Wyoming sessions -- Ye offers a bittersweet reflection of its creator, who is confused, searching, and at a crossroads. 7 cancelled, shelved, or delayed Kanye West projects. Kanye West always has a lot going on, but that doesn’t mean he finishes everything. Kanye West is nothing if not busy. His label G.O.O.D. Music has shared four albums this year, all produced by West, including a solo album and his collaboration with Kid Cudi called Kids See Ghosts. But when he announced the projects in April, you would have been forgiven to have been skeptical, since Kanye has a reputation for loosely throwing out announcements and not living up to them. Just recently, Kanye claimed he wants to release 52 albums in 52 weeks. If anyone can pull that off, it's him, but a few undelivered or failed projects are keeping me from marking every Friday on my calendar. Check out seven standout examples below.

Before Kanye touched billionaire status with Yeezy, Pastelle was how the then-just rapper wanted to break into the fashion industry. Complex recently published a great oral history on the streetwear brand that never was – it recruited scores of talented minds like Virgil Abloh and Kim Jones of Louis Vuitton soon after the summer of 2007. The line, which was described by one anonymous associate as "a cross between that real golden era of Polo, a simpler A Bathing Ape, and a little bit of A.P.C.," could have hit stores. But then, West lost interest. “I think he wanted to do something that was a little more high end,” a source told Complex , calling Pastelle Kanye's "university for fashion.” The HBO sitcom. Kanye's attempt at creating a hip-hop-ified version of Curb Your Enthusiasm for HBO first emerged in 2013, around the time Yeezus dropped. The very idea is cringe-y, and speaking from experience, greatly hindered arguments about Kanye West's genius was clips of the show began to emerge. Reporters who have seen the full episode are divided – it's been called "incredible," "terrible," and "not as bad as you hoped" by those who watched the 30 minute pilot when it was screened in 2013 by Wyatt Cenac, an actor and comedian who worked with Kanye on the show. So really, who knows what it would have looked like had HBO picked it up to series? Even if it was a failure, Cenac spoke with admiration about his experience and Kanye's willingness to learn: "One of the things that I remember very vividly him saying when we did that pilot was he wanted to surround himself with people that were better than him, as far as comedy. It spoke to his whole life: If he surrounds himself with people who are better, he has no option but to either fail or rise. And that is not a decision that a lot of people would take." Only One the video game. When Kanye puts his mother's influence front and center in his songs, he's at his most unguarded. Kanye's 2014 single "Only One," a tender ode to his daughter North written from the perspective of his deceased mother Donda, was a critical and commercial success, but it didn't end with the music: soon after the song's release Kanye began developing a video game based on the track. In Only One the game, players were to take on the role of Donda West ascending to the gates of heaven. The game was in production for over a year, and a trailer debuted at E3 2016. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who were also at the 2016 gaming convention, mocked the concept of Only One and poked fun at it in a 2017 trailer for their own game South Park: The Fractured But Whole . Perhaps their reaction soured the game for Kanye, who is sensitive to South Park 's criticisms. Yeezus , directed by Hype Williams. His tour behind the initially divisive and ultimately legendary album was an ornate spectacle, and as usual, Kanye was impressed with himself. In February 2014, the trades lit up with the announcement of a Yeezus concert film, directed by iconic music video helmer Hype Williams, to be released in theaters. There was even a trailer. But that was the last we heard of the film, unless it gets resurrected some time down the line. The album with Drake. Kanye first started talking up the idea of an album with Drake in 2015 – back then, they were gonna call it Wolves . Hints were dropped throughout 2016, and actual songs were unveiled to the public: Drake and Kanye collaborated together on the single version of "Pop Style" from 2016's Views and on the More Life track "Glow." Then summer 2018 happened. Pusha-T restarted his beef with Drake over ghostwritng, leading to Drizzy taking shots at Kanye in "Duppy Freestyle." Pusha was a hypocrite, Drake rapped, for bringing up the Quentin Miller scandal when Drake had just been writing for Kanye's solo album in Wyoming. Pusha didn't address this on follow-up track "The Story of Adidon," opting instead to blast existing rumors of Drake's fatherhood status to new heights. Ye then claimed said the beef was over, though J-Prince claimed he was sitting on a track that would have ended Kanye's career. With ties between O.V.O. and G.O.O.D. Music frayed at best, it doesn't seem as though we'll hear any joint tunes any time soon.
