2)," Cudi and Kanye's declarations of freedom erupt into an all-out rebel yell: "Nothing hurts me anymore / Guess what, baby? I feel freeeee." The proclamation is set to a soaring electric guitar riff from Mr. On Kids See Ghosts'"Freeee (Ghost Town Pt. On "Ghost Town," Cudi provides supporting vocals as 070 Shake, one of G.O.O.D Music's latest signees, bellows about burning her hand on a stove, connecting her visceral pain to a sense of self-controlled freedom. The album's third song, "4th Dimension," samples gospel singer Shirley Ann Lee's " Someday" (also sampled on ye's "Ghost Town"), featuring Lee's producer stating that no song should be over three minutes long ("You only want two and a half minutes, three minutes maximum"), a nod to the 'all killer no filler' seven-song structure Kanye's forcing on the five albums announced in April, of which two remain.

#CUDI MONTAGE PRODUCER UPDATE#
In the aftermath of ye, an album currently atop the Billboard 200 but also a mid-year front runner for most polarizing project of 2018, Kids See Ghosts acts as a bewildered fan's contextual roadmap, providing some clarity for yeand giving an update on Cudi's mental state. Unfortunately, what transpired between then and now - a reignited rap beef thanks to DAYTONA and a chaotic spectacle in Wyoming for Kanye's equally chaotic spectacle of a solo album - nearly made fans lose sight of the hip-hop sanctity of Kids See Ghosts.For fans who've watched Cudi and Kanye's relationship evolve from 2008 - from mentor and protégé to adversaries to equals - the announcement of the pair's joint effort was supposed to be a dream-team rap fantasy come true. When West announced this past April that he'd be executive producing five albums for consecutive release over as many weeks, Kids See Ghosts was the only one of them that had no precedent. The album's seven songs are stirringly reminiscent of each man's creative peak, but somehow lack the luster, or maybe the beautiful oddity, of what this moment should feel like. Apparently, catharsis never quite feels how you'd expect it to.
Ye and Cudi's joint album, Kids See Ghosts, released this past Friday, is a cathartic album for the pair, and one that's been anticipated for 10 years. More recently, Cudi has remained reclusive while Kanye has decidedly not, taking up life-coaching via Twitter and further aligning himself with President Trump. It was apparent to the pair's overlapping fanbases that their internal pain, of which both had been vocal about dealing with on past albums, had begun to drown them. Kanye was admitted for psychiatric observation that November, after two rant-dominated concerts that were followed quickly by the cancellation of his Saint Pablo tour. Cudi checked into rehab for " depression and suicidal urges" in the middle of his album rollout for Passion, Pain and Demon Slayin'.
In late 2016, Kanye West and Kid Cudi both sought out help.
