Michael Che of "Saturday Night Live" had the best line about Kanye West: "Pass."
West, the rapper who in mid-May said 400 years of slavery was a choice, has released a new EP, titled "Ye." The new release features cover art of mountains and "I hate being Bi-Polar (sic) it's awesome" in neon green font. In short, it looks like something that's ready to be mass-produced and sold at a truck stop alongside the always relevant parental advisory T-shirts.
West invited music industry peeps to a premiere of the album in Wyoming, the state whose motto is "We dare you to find somewhere whiter" (not really, but probably).
I had written an inexplicably long rant about how I was never listening to Kanye again, especially after his idiotic statements and newfound support for dudes like Donald Trump. It was dumb, because Kanye is dumb. However, you don't confront absurdity with self-serving seriousness. You double-down on the dumb.
So here are 10 rejected headlines about Kanye West's new album.
