Ye interpolates/references âLift Yourselfâ from his troll release a few months prior with the ablid âScoop!â. He does the same with âGhost Townâ from the week prior on âyeâ with the lines âNothing hurts me anymoreâ and âI feel freeeeeeeâ hence the name of the song having ghost town pt.2 in the title
The song started out as a freestyle on a beat and was known as âI Feel Freeâ. This version is unheard but likely to be recorded on may 16th 2018 and inspired by 070 Shakeâs reference for Ghost Town
Wife Lover, Chance the Rapper recorded a reference track for the song but the full HQ file isnât leaked. the verse is fine but the hook isnât goodâŚ
Ye would record another freestyle which would actually make it onto the song with punch ins from Ty. A version with these Ye vocals and Andrew Dawson production exists
Another more energetic Ye freestyle exists but has a good bit of mumble
A fourth unheard freestyle exists but not much is known about it. Consequence has a reference track that he played on live, this version also has different Ye vocals to all other versions so is possibly from this fourth freestyle
Malik Yusef also has reference track
There are 5 Jeremiah reference tracks
The first version with Ty has additional drums not in any other versions
Hudson Mohawke worked on production at one point
An early demo version of âTake Me To The Lightâ with Bon Iver contains some lyrics from freee
A version with a spliced in Cudi punch-in 54 seconds on was played at the listening party
At least 3 unheard mixes exist after this one before an early mix with a bounce created by combining the acapella and instrumental
There is another version seen being played from Plain Pat's notes app at the album listening party, in a video posted to Jess Jackson's Instagram
