In a moment where Ye is in the middle of about 15 different controversies...we just wanna focus on the music.

In this first episode, we overview the album and what we expect to learn on this journey. Also, we rank every song on the album.

Annnnnnd WE'RE BACK!!! And we're ready to discuss two new songs—one belongs to Kanye, and the other features Kanye.
