An unauthorized version of Kanye West’s new song “Mama’s Boy” also known as “Mama’s Boyfriend” was released on the web. Kanye is understandably not happy that the song was leaked.
Listen here: Kanye West "Mama's Boy"
Kanye West’s team issued the following statement last night
“The version of the Kanye West recording “Mama’s Boy” that arrived on blog sites earlier this week is entirely bogus and unsanctioned, and violates the artist’s creative intentions. As is often the unfortunate case, an unknown party or parties got a hold of Kanye West’s vocal track and added their own soundbed to it, effectively and falsely releasing it as a Kanye West track from the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions. The result in no way resembles the final song Kanye West intended his fans to hear, and he is deeply disappointed that one of the most personal, meaningful and special songs he has ever written would reach people in this way. Needless to say, measures are being taken to identify and prosecute the persons responsible for leaking this material."
Watch: Kanye West perform an a cappella version of “Mama’s Boyfriend” at the Facebook headquarters.
The “bogus” version of Mama’s Boy may not be Kanye approved, but it is a great song nonetheless. Listeners who have gone through having their parents divorce as a child can relate to the feelings Kanye raps about.
Kanye starts the song reminiscing about being a 5 year-old watching his mother start to date.
“He walked in our lives, I was only five/ Superman pajama's/ I was super duper fly”
“I my mama boyfriend / I’m her little husband / I was the man of the house when there wasn’t / Tryin’ to get me know me homey / Just kill the charm / You ain’t interested in me / you just tryin’ to f— my mom,”
“We are the voices of our parents bad choices/ The aftermath of divorces”
