Selfish

We Did It Kid

____From Genius.com____
Yandhi was the original title of Kanye West’s ninth studio album. It was meant to be the follow-up to ye, his 2018 solo effort, and KIDS SEE GHOSTS, his 2018 collaborative project with Kid Cudi. Yandhi is a portmanteau of Kanye’s nickname (Ye) and Mahatma Gandhi’s surname.

Kanye first teased Yandhi on September 17, 2018, with posts on Instagram and Twitter of a cover art similar to the cover for Yeezus, Kanye’s sixth studio album. Then, on September 22, 2018, Yandhi promotional billboards began to appear in various locations around the world in the style of an iMessage.

On September 27, 2018, Kanye visited The FADER to preview Yandhi. The magazine revealed that XXXTENTACION, Ty Dolla $ign, and 6ix9ine all make appearances on the album and that a feature from Rihanna was in the works. It was also reported that the version played by Kanye was still unfinished less than three days before the album’s initial release date. Kanye also previewed a song titled “Slave Name” during his visit. The full article on Kanye’s visit can be read here.

Also on the 27th, Kanye posted a teaser for the album on Instagram and Twitter, containing a longer version of a snippet he had posted on his Instagram story weeks prior.

Yandhi was supposed to be released on September 29, 2018, to coincide with his appearance on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. However, following the show, the album was nowhere to be found.

On October 1, 2018, Kim Kardashian West tweeted that her husband’s album would now be released on November 23, claiming “it is worth the wait.” Kanye followed Kim’s tweet with an interview with TMZ in which he stated that he was going to Africa to complete the album.

On November 12, 2018, Kanye took to Twitter to once again postpone the album, with its new release date undetermined.

On the first Sunday of 2019, Kanye began the “Sunday Service” series. This seemingly shifted the conceptual focus of Kanye’s ninth studio album from Yandhi to JESUS IS KING. Because of this, it appears that Yandhi is indefinitely scrapped. Kanye seemingly confirmed this on “Selah,” the second track on JIK, on which he raps:

Everybody wanted Yandhi
Then Jesus Christ did the laundry

A tentative tracklist for the September 2018 version of Yandhi leaked on July 11, 2019. Over the course of the following three months, early versions of some of the songs on that tracklist leaked online.

lyrics 


[Verse 1: Kanye West]
I, you don't need, need to ever write
I read your last message at least a thousand times
At least a thousand, least a thousand times
Alright, alright, alright
Why would you ever listen to people tryna hate on you?
At least you know there's nothing new

[Chorus: Kanye West with Charlie Wilson]
Stop everything you're doing now
'Cause baby, you're awesome, so awesome
You look too good to be at work (Be at work)
You feel too good to ever hurt (Ever hurt)
I hope you're ready for tonight
I'm gon' cook, you'll be dessert
You can't be still (Oh)
I gotta movе (Gotta move), I gotta dance (Dance)
I gotta livе (Gotta live), I gotta love (Love)
I gotta hope (Gotta hope), I got a chance (Chance)
'Cause baby, you're awesome

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
You don't need to listen to your manager
You're way too hot for them to handle you
Baby, not for nothing, I know you're lookin' for somethin'
And I got it, why you frontin' on me?

[Refrain: Kanye West]
'Cause I'd rather do nothing with you
Than something with somebody new
Yeah, I'd rather do nothing with you
Than something with somebody new

[Chorus: Kanye West & Charlie Wilson with Ty Dolla $ign]
Stop everything you're doing now
'Cause baby you're awesome
Don't let nobody bring you down
You're so awesome
You're so out the park
You're so after dark
You're so sleepless nights, ooh, you feel so right

[Bridge: Kanye West with Charlie Wilson]
You're so freakin' tight
I know you must be tired
Of running through my mind
Can I come inside?
'Cause baby I'm awesome, also
I'm also awesome, also
I'm also awesome, y'all know

[Refrain: Kanye West & Charlie Wilson]
'Cause I'd rather do nothing with you
Than something with somebody new
Yeah, I'd rather do nothing with you
Than something with somebody new

[Chorus: Kanye West & Charlie Wilson with Ty Dolla $ign]
Stop everything you're doing now
'Cause baby you're awesome
Don't let nobody bring you down
You're so awesome
You're so out the park
You're so after dark
You're so sleepless nights, ooh, you feel so right

[Outro: Harmonica & Charlie Wilson]
Yeah, ooh, baby, yeah
Oh-oh, yeah
Ooh, baby, ooh baby
Ooh, baby, baby
Feels so good, so right
Oh, yeah, oh, no, oh, no, oh, yeah-yeah
I, I, yeah
PV Wonder, ah
