Kanye West's Yeezus enters album chart at number one Kanye West's new album, Yeezus, topped the Official UK Album chart this week, giving the hip hop star his first number one LP since 2007's Graduation, amidst controversy over the rapper's lyrics. Released last Tuesday, Yeezus, produced by Rick Rubin and featuring collaborations with Daft Punk and Charlie Wilson, is West's fourth UK top 10 album. It knocked Black Sabbath's latest offering off the top spot after Ozzy Osbourne and co had celebrated their first number one for 43 years last week with 13. News of the number one album continues a good month for the rapper after his girlfriend, reality TV star Kim Kardashian, gave birth to a baby girl, North, on 15 June. Described by The Telegraph's Helen Brown as "the most exciting album I've heard in a long time," Yeezus has been met with widespread acclaim but has also been criticised for the highly provocative nature of some of its lyrics. Blood on the Leaves samples Nina Simone's version of Billie Holliday's Strange Fruit, originally written about racism, oppression and the mass lynchings of African Americans in 20th Century America. West, however, makes no reference to this in his own lyrics, instead rapping about drugs and "groupies." In another track, On Sight, West raps about Parkinson's disease, singing, "A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this b***h shaking like Parkinson's." Kathryn Whitford, vice president of the American Parkinson Disease Association, condemned the rapper's flippant lyrics about the disease She said: "We find these lyrics distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance." Meanwhile Tom Palizzi, Chair for People with Parkinson's Advisory Council, said: "There is a fine line between expression and insensitivity. Many of us appreciate the lighter side of having a chronic and degenerative movement disorder, though just as many interpret such statements as harsh and insensitive.
