'Hold me back I'm bout' to sp**?' [[Title edited by MNHQ]]

[NoArmaniNoPunani]

I know Kanye West is a monumental douchecanoe but this line from his latest song with Paul McCartney is a step too far even for him.

I have CP and I never act like massive bellend Kanye.

AIBU to think Paul McCartney might have refused to put his name to a song that uses that line?

isn't he saying spas as in spasm?

YANBU.

But then I think PMcC is a complete muppet too tbh.

Bellends, both.

Really?

I most ignore Kanye ( and macca to be fair) but wow. Not on.

Yanbu, awful from both of them. No doubt all their fans will see this as normal language which goes against trying to get rid of this language.

I don't know the song, but why does Kayne get all the blame if it's a joint thing with McCartney?

I really struggle with "spaz" and it's variations. DS2's friends use Spazattack a lot. They don't mean anything by it. They don't have a clue what it means/where it comes from, as I discovered when I asked one of them to stop. I was properly shocked and reacted sharply. He had no idea it was a "bad" word, it's so widely used. He knows now, but I suspect the only thing it's changed is that he now thinks DS2's mum is a strange stroppy cow, rather than changing his behaviour. He hasn't been back since...

Well what do you expect from a knob, who refused to sing unless his disabled audience stood up!

I'm with you. I think it is a horrible phrase.

I don't know the song, but why does Kayne get all the blame if it's a joint thing with McCartney?

It's Kanye's line but as I said in my first post, I'm more surprised Paul McCartney was happy to put his name to it.

Awful.

Nasty. Kanye is a bellend.

Ugh. Horrible word.

I am

I'm the mum who tells other people's kids not to use the word,and explain why,if I hear it.
There's no way I find it acceptable from grown 'men'.

YANBU. awful. It seems more commonly used in the US than here, even by people who should know better. No excuse.

A member of my own family uses 'spaz' in front of me. It really upsets me.

Are you sure you're hearing it right? Only reading through the lyrics I can't see anything that says that or sounds like it?

Well, if that's the song concerned (no idea, not heard it) then it's sentimental tripe, anyhow, even without that line.

I can't get het up about spaz. Shrug. The origins are horrible but its sort of taken on its own meaning which has nothing to do with 'spastic'

Well, yes, but it's written by Kanye about his now deceased mother talking to her grandchild.
I'm not a fan of Kanye, Btw, Or the song, but seems like some people are laying into it without hearing it here!

The title of my post is directly from the lyrics. It's called 4 5 seconds

I think it's from Four Five Seconds, the one that's got Rihanna as well, not the one that's linked to above.

Awful. No YANBU. I am not surprised at Kanye West but I am at Paul McCartney. Offensive and inappropriate.

It is a different song, not Only One, but Four Five Seconds

here

Its more commonly used in the states. Not the same stigma against it.
