Kanye West drops new track 'Closest Thing to Einstein' in Los Angeles: references debt and Twitter
'This generation's closest thing to Einstein / So don't worry about me, I'm fine'
Late last night in Los Angeles, Kanye West appeared at a low-key listening party with only a couple of hundred fans present, playing some The Life of Pablo cuts as well as debuting “Closest Thing to Einstein”.
On the Sampha featuring track, Mr West references numerous recent events, including his financial situation, Twitter spats and being this generation's Einstein.
Footage of the rapper bobbing to the track has since appeared online, which you can watch below.
Standout lyrics (via Noisy) include: "People trying to say I'm going too crazy on Twitter / My friends best advice was to stay low”
“At this rate we gonna both die broke / Got friends that ask for money knowing I'm in debt”
“This generation's closest thing to Einstein / So don't worry about me, I'm fine”
Recently, the Steve McQueen-directed music video of “All Day” leaked online, while it was also revealed his latest album The Life of Pablo has not charted due to only being available on TIDAL.
