Kanye West Made a Huge Change to SWISH

Yeezy's shaking things up right before his album drops.

As Kanye West puts the final touches on his hugely-anticipated album, a few things are bound to change. But Yeezy isn't just checking for typos in the liner notes for SWISH. Despite the fact that the album is set to drop in just two weeks, the rap icon went ahead and changed its name. Again.
