Remember "the old Kanye, straight from the go Kanye, chop up the soul Kanye?" Well, if you miss that dude, you might want to come back in from the wilderness because things are about to change with Kanye.

The star has been using his Twitter to vent his frustrations and share his controversial thoughts, but on Thursday he grabbed the mic to announce the death of his ego.

While the tweets themselves are about as deep as AKA's wallet, dude didn't sign any forms to say he's going to stop with those crazy comments, like the ones he's been sharing about slavery.

He did, however, explain a little on why he has such a big ego in the first place

The streets were heavy with suggestions on the "better way" to not doubt yourself, from simple solutions like "Google it" to those shared by life coaches.

Kanye has BEEN flirting with themes of mental illness and doubt over the last few weeks, even speaking about his battle with bipolar on his latest album.

"That's my bipolar sh*t. That’s my superpower, n*gga, ain’t no disability,” reads a line from the track Yikes.

Homie may have also been alluding to the "death" when he released the track I Thought About Killing You.

"The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest. Today, I seriously thought about killing you. I contemplated, premeditated murder. And I think about killing myself
And I love myself way more than I love you, so, today, I thought about killing you, premeditated murder," he raps on the track.
