Last night, Kanye West held a private party at L.A.’s 1OAK, as Noisey points out. He took the chance to debut a new track, which has been labelled “Closest Thing to Einstein.” In it, he addresses his reported personal debt and Twitter controversies, then dismisses media speculation over his mental health: ”I know I’m the most influential/ That TIME cover was just confirmation/ This generation’s closest thing to Einstein/ But don’t worry about me, I’m fine.” Watch fan footage below. Update (9:38 a.m.): According to XXL, all of this went down at Yo Gotti’s album release party. Below, watch a few more videos of Yeezy talking via Team Kanye Daily.
In the track, reportedly a collaboration with Sampha, West raps, “I can’t say no to nobody/ At this rate we gon’ both die broke/ Got friends that ask me for money knowing I’m in debt/ And like my wife said, I still didn’t say no.” He goes on, “People try to say I’m going crazy on Twitter/ My friends’ best advice was to stay low … The media said he’s way out of control/ I just feel like I’m the only one not pretending I’m not out of control.” Another lyric: “Never listen to Hollywood producers/ Don’t stare at money too long, it’s Medusa.”
During the party, he once more refuted Amber Rose’s suggestion he enjoys ass play, saying, “I don’t play like that!” Watch it all below.
