According to designer Joe Perez, Kanye West’s ‘Yeezus’ album had a completely different title along with artwork. Now, the previous name of the project has been revealed.
Via Instagram, Perez spoke on the former title and artwork created by George Condo, saying “3.2.2013 – Pre-Yeezus gif concepts – Round 2. Before naming the album Yeezus, the title was ‘Thank God For Drugs’.”
Kanye addressed why he went with the official title ‘Yeezus’ during his 2013 release party, saying, “Simply put West was my slave name and Yeezus is my god name. We didn’t give a f**k about what nobody said from the outside looking in. We just wanted to make the best product possible and this is just the beginning of an entire new mentality about how to make music.”
