Kanye is pulling a Life of Pablo on Ye

When Kanye West released The Life of Pablo, his seventh solo album, the rapper famously wouldn't stop tinkering with it, adding new verses, skits, and songs, even after the album dropped. 

It seems like he's doing the same for his latest album, Ye. On the album's opener, "I Thought About Killing You," there's a new added line. In the line, it seems like he's addressing the criticism around the "slavery was a choice" comment.

Here is the line:

If I wasn't shinin' so hard, wouldn't be no shade

Buckwheat ass nigga, it's gon' be OK

Sorry, but I chose not to be no slave

young nigga shit, nigga, we don't age

According to Complex, this version of the song was released to streaming services on June 5th.
