The Facebook staff in Palo Alto, California, were treated to a brief preview of Kanye West’s newest material when he recently visited. “I’ve been writing new stuff for the new album and I’ve just got a couple raps that I really like, so I thought it’d be cool just to say them for you all,” West said to the Facebook employees. “All y’all turn your phones off.” While standing on a table reciting his material, Kanye essentially gave the Facebook staff a spoken word preview of the album. “This is actually a bit more like a poem,” West said at the top of “Lost,” a song about love gone wrong. “You’re my devil/ You’re my angel/ You’re my heaven/ You’re my hell,” he sneers at one point, then goes on more angrily: “Lost in the plastic life/ Let’s break out of this fake-ass party/ Turn this into a classic night.” “Chain Gang” is what many are calling classic Kanye with lines like “My teeth already white/ You gonna make me floss for nothing,” and “They try to tell me aliens built the pyramids/ I swear, life’s a b***h on a pyramid” ) “It took me 33 years of my life to write [this]. It means a lot to me, and it’s called ‘Mama’s Boyfriend,’” West said of another song, as the room grew quiet. “There’s a lot of use of the N-word, but I’m allowed to use it. Afterwards, the rapper blogged about the experience. “Many times in life I’ve had to deal with moments of doubt. And as it’s been a minute since I’ve performed any fresh material in front of an audience, this could’ve been one of those moments… but it wasn’t,” Kanye wrote. “Your energy was a gift so electric, so genuine, that it really helped me give my best. The energy was so inspiring I had to keep going!” We cant wait for the full album.
