The 2018 Kanye West Story continues, as a clip of his new feature verse on Pusha T’s ‘DAYTONA’ album has leaked on the internet. The verse will appear on Pusha T’s upcoming album ‘DAYTONA’, which is set to be released on Friday, May 25. As for Kanye himself, his own new album will drop on June 1, and a collaboration with Kid Cudi titled “Kids See Ghost”, is due out on June 8.
While I’m far from being a music expert (music is the least of my pop cultural interests when it comes to movies, TV, and music), but this new verse is absolutely … average? Like, the rhymes are decent, but the “poop scoop” nonsense forced in at the beginning just puts a bad taste in my mouth from the get-go.
Kanye is like that guy from high school who would make fun of the substitute teacher and think he was being hilarious, but really everyone in class just thought he was an asshole. That’s what Kanye has devolved into, which is a shame because his first five albums (College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) were as epic of a run as any rapper has ever had.

Who knows … maybe Kanye West has been able to turn all this madness surrounding him into an album of bangers. Or maybe half of the tracks are just him rhyming words that end with “oop” because he thinks he’s making some sort of profound statement on the nation’s racial relations. All I truly know is … I miss the old Kanye.
