Last night Kanye West premiered a new track at Adult Swim’s Upfront event at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Standing inside of a giant pyramid, the Chi-town emcee broke into his latest single. The untitled song is an EDM-inspired tune that features the lyrics “too many hoes in this house of sin.”
[expand title="More MBiz" tag="h2"]Kanye performed another new song, an auto-tuned ballad apparently dedicated to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian. He also went on one of his famous rants about his recent troubles with the paparazzi, his celebrity status, and his upcoming stint on Saturday Night Livethis weekend.
Read text of Kanye’s personal message to the public and watch videos of his performances and rant below.
[/expand]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.
