Kanye West trolls us into listening to a song about scooping poop
We've all had to scoop our way through the poop pile that has been Kanye West's Twitter feed for the last week, now we're poop-scooping our way through his newest single.
After teasing a new single on Friday, West dropped a link to his website, which contained a stream to the new track "Lift Yourself."
I'm going to drop a song with a verse that will bring Ebro the closure he's been seeking
The bars 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's called Lift Yourself— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 27, 2018

The simple song starts with a single guitar and vocal samples from the 1973 song "Liberty" by Amnesty, sped and pitched up a bit. The track appears to be in mono until the beat finally drops about 25 seconds in, only to disappear after a few bars.
After transitioning between the singers and back into a more complex beat, Yeezy finally comes on to drop a verse. Sorta.
Here's the best transcription we could come up with:
And it's fucking catchy, somehow.
Anyway, the internet had some feelings, and a lot of people called out Yeezy for being a troll. I'm sure he'll tweet about how we all got it wrong in the coming days.
Or maybe this whole thing has just been a huge publicity stunt.
Kanye might have just dropped one of the greatest trolling songs of this generation! “Whoop de Poop scoopity Whoop de scoop” 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m dead af! #LiftYourself 💀💀💀
