Ye’s Highly Anticipated Bully Album
Ye’s forthcoming Bully album is generating a lot of buzz as one of the most anticipated releases of the year. The rapper recently made a bold comparison, likening his upcoming project to one of the greatest musical works of all time.
Ye Compares His Album to Lauryn Hill’s Iconic Work
During a recent appearance on Justin Laboy’s The Download podcast, Ye revealed details about his eleventh solo studio album. He drew parallels between his album and Lauryn Hill’s seminal solo work, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Ye’s Inspiration from Lauryn Hill
“Yeah, because you lean on a bar that brings somebody down — that was always rap,” Ye expressed during the conversation. He went on to explain, “This is more the way I remember Lauryn Hill[‘s] album, the way I remember Miseducation. I feel it is my Miseducation. It is my Gnarls Barkley album. Because Bully has a title and connotation that a lot of people are anti-bully. But I’m just hyper-next-level frequency right now.”
Ye’s Appreciation for Lauryn Hill
Ye has long been a fan of Lauryn Hill, famously sampling her MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 track “Mystery of Iniquity” on his GRAMMY-nominated 2004 single, “All Falls Down.” However, due to licensing issues, he couldn’t use the original sample on the official release of the track.
Release of the Bully Album
Set to be released on June 15, 2024, Bully coincides with the 12th birthday of Ye’s eldest daughter, North. The 47-year-old artist recently shared how his daughter’s love for music inspired him to focus on creating new music.
Ye’s Musical Journey
In a January Instagram post, Ye revealed, “This little girl made me love music again. She asked me to make beats for her. I got back on the ASR, chopped up beats for the album, and crafted every beat with my bare hands for Bully.”
Teasers and New Music
Ye has been teasing various songs from the album, including “Beauty and the Beast” and “Preacher Man.” Additionally, new music surfaced following his attention-grabbing appearance at the GRAMMYs with his wife, Bianca Censori.
