Kanye West is possibly the most polarizing entertainer out there through a series of increasingly bizarre life decisions and declarations on Twitter. But there’s no taking away his often unmatched lyricism. Take, for instance, two lines of his part in DJ Khaled’s “Go Hard (Remix)”:
“When I came up, ya’ll gave me shit /
Now I’m gonna make ya’ll eat them turds.”
This is tremendous for a few reasons:
- Kanye draws you in by relating to you as a normal person. Who HASN’T been given shit before and dreamed of sweet retribution?
- Kanye then instantly makes you remember that he is Kanye West and you are a blubbery pleb by making you rethink the entire concept of shit-giving.
- He said “turd” in a rap song.
It’s not just that he said it, though. It’s that he said “turd” in one of those go-hard songs literally named “Go Hard” and made it actually sound tough. This is a turd with a wife beater, tatted up and arms crossed because it’s just not agreeing with what you’re bringing to the table. This is one blinged-out piece of poop. When West goes in on a track, it’s usually a must-listen, so I’d be lying if I said I didn’t use this song continuously on a workout mix, especially for the boost these lines give me.
This song also serves as a fair warning to all those who cross Kanye West: watch what you say, because you’re going to wake up one day with poop in your mouth, though it’s unclear whose turds they will be. And that’s the most unsettling thing of all.
