Kanye West Says He'd 'Smash' His Sisters-in-Law, and People Have Feelings
Kanye West dropped a surprise track called “XTCY” in the early hours of Saturday morning on the East Coast and what would be close to 11 P.M. in Calabasas, California, home of the Kardashian-Jenner clan and apparent recording location of West. The verses seem to be self-confessional, each beginning with, “You got sick thoughts? I got more of them,” and then delving into those aforementioned things on Kanye’s mind. The track was dropped by DJ Clark Kent via Twitter and Instagram, apparently at West’s behest, and was made available via a free WeTransfer file.
“Sitting in the studio with my man @kanyewest and he said.. “Clark, let that new “XTCY”joint go!!!” DJ Clark Kent tweeted.
While there’s plenty to clutch your pearls about in the song, should you be of that mindset, there’s one line in particular that’s really caught people’s attention. “You got sick thoughts? I got more of ’em / You got a sister-in-law you would smash? I got four of them.” Needless to say, it’s not too hard of a stretch to gather who the line alludes to. Given that Kanye’s married to Kim Kardashian, that would make Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall, and newly 21-year-old Kylie his sisters-in-law. Twitter, as ever, came in with some great reactions:

The song drop comes one day after West appeared on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Of the many…interesting…things Kanye had to say during the interview (including his thoughts on Trump’s presidency), the conversation turned to his attitude toward women—specifically, if his views had changed at all since having two daughters, North and Chicago. “Nah, I still look at PornHub,” West said, causing the entire studio audience to laugh.
The “XTCY” track does end with “I thought of all this on ecstasy,” so maybe that’s what’s behind the lyrics…or it could just be Kanye being Kanye. It’ll be interesting to see what both Kim and her sisters will have to say about this one.
