Kanye West Debuts New Song, Rants At Adult Swim Upfront
Last week, Kanye West dropped the much-hyped "I Am A God" and one more song on an unsuspecting crowd the 2013 Met Gala. This week, Yeezy's doing more of the same. He performed two new track at the Adult Swim upfronts.
According to AllHipHop, the first tune was EDM-inspired while the second was an Autotuned ballad for his girlfriend and mother of his unborn child, Kim Kardashian. (Footage of the performance has been pulled from YouTube due to a copyright claim.)
Because this is Kanye, he took the time to go on one of his trademark rants. He took on the paparazzi, SNL and the overall concept of celebrity. Via AllHipHop:
One thing about me. I'm the worst kinda, worst kinda, worst kinda celebrity, because all I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real, real shit, and that's it. That's motherfucking it. That's motherfucking it. So I don't want nobody running up on me with no cameras, trying to sell pictures and shit to magazines, asking me no dumbass questions. Throwing me off of my focus and shit. Harassing you all motherfucking day. I ain't no motherfucking celebrity.
...go on SNL and you're going to do like a skit about the paparazzi and shit and like humanize yourself?' I ain't here to apologize to no motherfuckers man. It ain't about me humanizing myself. At what point did I become unhuman where I had to turn myself back? Or maybe i was demonized. Or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that type of situation.
I ain't no motherfucking celebrity. I ain't running for office. I ain't kissing nobody's motherfucking babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and shit. I'm trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best they can be. I don't want nobody to ask nothing else of me. Don't ask nothing else of me. Motherfuckers chasing you down 'bout to make you crash and shit. And all they want is for a nigga to laugh and shit. Hell nah, I ain't doing no motherfucking SNL skits, this my goddamn life. This ain't no motherfucking joke. That's it. Stop that shit right there.
Kanye West will perform on this week's SNL.
