You either obsessively love the guy, or you really, really hate him. I happen to fall into camp number one. So, hearing that Ye dropped a new song (and officially announced a release date for his next album, Swish), I had to reminisce on all the times he blessed us with gif worthy moments that summed up 20-something life.
