AceShowbiz - Kanye West and Kid Cudi's scrapped collaboration "Can't Look in My Eyes" has surfaced online. The snippet appears to be a demo of Kid's 2014 song "Too Bad I Have to Destroy You Now" featuring Kanye.
Kanye raps, "I be laughin' at you n***as, tauntin' you n***as/ Who the winner of this s**t?/ Surrounded by fake n***as and fake b****es tryna get in my ear/ What about gold diggers? Yeah all them/ You tryna get them some gig/ Give me coochie from the Gooch/ Set your sights too low/ Hah, you could have had you some lean/ I got some one, na, na/ I ain't never met a b***h, ain't a b***h that ain't need 10 G's/ Hah, I ain't never met a fool full of somethin' that ain't out for me/ Well I know, oh, na, na/ One day you'll say, one day you'll see me."
He and Kid sing in the chorus, "People talk s**t about me, deep down they knowin' they ain't right/ Hmmm, when I walk in the room they can't look in my eyes/ When I walk in the room they can't look in my eyes/ (You know who the f**k you is)/ People talk s**t about me and they know that I know/ And they also know that they ain't right/ Hmmm, when I walk in the room they can't look in my eyes/ Cause when I walk in the room they can't look in my eyes."
In mid-September, Kid blasted Kanye for snubbing him and making a duet album with Drake instead, calling them "clowns" in a Twitter rant. "Everyone thinks they're soooo great," he wrote, "Talkin top 5 and be having 30 people write songs for them. Let me tell you something. The days of the f**kery are over. The fake ones wont be lasting too much longer."
Kanye and Drake later fired back at Kid during their concerts on September 14. "Kid Cudi, don't ever mention 'Ye name, I birthed you," Kanye said during his tour stop in Tampa, "Don't try to say who I can do songs with. You mad 'cause I'm doing songs with Drake. Ain't nobody telling 'Ye who to do songs with. Respect the God!"
Drake, meanwhile, said during his own show in Oakland, "Boy, you getting way too high, you need to Cud-it. I heard boys were talking down today. Shout out to my brother Kanye West. We both got sold-out shows."
Kanye later offered a message of peace to Kid during his Houston show on September 20. "I just wanted to take time out to say Kid Cudi is my brother and I hope he's doing well," said the "Gold Digger" rapper, before calling Kid "the most influential artist of the past 10 years."
