The artist formerly known as Kanye West is credited on several tracks in the sequel to Travis Scott's 'Astroworld'.
Fresh off of Barbenheimer, we got another Friday of blockbusters with the release of Travis Scott's Utopia and Post Malone's Austin.
Perhaps expected, the artist formerly known as Kanye West - who last year literally praised Hitler in an interview with Alex Jones - is credited on several tracks on Scott's Astroworld follow-up.
Ye is also named on the track “Skitzo,” produced by Boi-1da and Jahaan Sweet, featuring Young Thug. At the end of the fourth verse of the six-minute track, Scott mentions Ye (who unsuccessfully undertook a 2020 presidential run) and current POTUS Joe Biden:
“I’m Loyal Bitch I Won Ye Over Biden”
In June 2020, Ye said on Twitter that he "could beat Biden in the entries". Of course, that certainly didn't happen.
More recently, West's string of anti-Semitic comments in 2022 ended up spurring a Biden statement. While he didn't mention Ye directly, Biden urged those who provide a platform for such hate speech to consider its impact.
“I just want to make a few things clear,” Biden said in December. “The Holocaust happened. Hitler was a demonic figure. And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should call out and reject anti-Semitism wherever it lurks. Silence is complicity.”
Ye's Utopia credits include writing and producing on "Thank God", writing on "God's Country", and writing on "Telekinesis". Drake, Beyoncé, 21 Savage, SZA, James Blake and more feature guest appearances on the entire 19-song album.
