Kids don’t know who Paul McCartney is
KANYE ‘Yeezus’ West surprised his fans by releasing a new song, Only One on New Year’s Day featuring some bloke Paul McCartney from some band called the Beatles.
The song itself captures Yeezy singing from the perspective of his late mother, Donda, who passed away in 2007.
It’s one of Kanye’s most emotive moments to date, and a far cry from the aggression of 2013’s Yeezus album.
West’s wife Kim “break the internet” Kardashian explained that Only One (which also makes reference to Kimye’s daughter North) is her favourite Kanye song.
But while Kim appreciated the sentiment of the song, some of Yeezy’s fans praised the artist for shining the light on unknown singers. Unknown singers like Paul McCartney.
After the tweets copped a fair amount of abuse, most were deleted. Most of the users tried to claim it was a joke, but we think they might just be a bit embarrassed.
If she don’t know who Paul McCartney is before that new Kanye track, she’s too young for you bro.
