CyHi The Prynce released “Elephant in the Room” today (August 5) and dissed G.O.O.D. Music boss Kanye West. The jabs seem to stem from the rapper’s frustrations with his treatment on the label.
“Hey ‘Ye do you know what it feel like / To really be signed to you in real life / Have you ever wrote a song you know you about to say something wrong but you still write? / I hope when I’m done that we’re still tight / But why I wasn’t on the cover of the Complex?,” CyHi raps.
The Stone Mountain, Georgia emcee was not included in Complex‘s 2012 cover story on the Def Jam imprint.
CyHi also calls West out for living a life of luxury and not being involved in his artists’ projects.
“Sit the fuck down Mr. West, I ain’t done yet / Why you in your little Lambo on Sunset / I’m riding with a gun next to me / And it sounds like a little boy playing with a drumset / And it hold a hundred rounds ’cause when you come around, niggas quick to gun you down/ You be found on the other side of town, so what, nigga?” he says.
The rapper says that he will kidnap West and stop him from making any more music.
“Ain’t gonna be no new Yeezy album ’cause he in the trunk with his mouth taped and his wrist wrapped.”
In 2011, CyHi said that West would be executively-producing his debut album, The Hard Way Musical. CyHi has yet to release an album on the label.
CyHi also calls out G.O.O.D Music labelmates Pusha T and Teyana Taylor.
“My nigga Pusha’s shit snapped / Naw, I’m lying man, that shit’s crap / OK, Teyana got a fat ass, but she won’t let nobody in the click tap,” he rhymes.

Hilarious!!!
Teyana got a fat a$$? Dude has lost it. Fit yes, but not fat
I had a feeling this was happening. CyHi been dropping good music (pun partially intended) back to back with the black history series but I’ve always wondered why he got so little support from his people. I expect pusha to respond asap. This should be G.O.O.D.
*yawn*boooooooring
I think people are jumping the gun on this one. It seems to me like he’s pulling an old tactic similar to how Em used to talk when referring to Dre. Cy’s probably thinking tactical and taking advantage of what’s happening in rap right now so he put this record out to focus attention on himself. It’s hard to believe this is actually a shot towards Ye given how he addresses him, never calls him out of his name, and takes more of a narrative approach from the hunger perspective rather than coming directly at Ye. Cy’s a lyrical monster, he could have destroyed the track if he was actually taking shots a G.O.O.D.

Love it. Let’s see where this goes.
Kanye has always had problems with his artists and never has time to over see their projects . He prefers f**king Kim rather than rapping and producing he signed dbanj from Nigeria and dbanj is yet to release an album on the label . Many other artist are going to leave soon just wait and see
Sounds like what any normal man would do.
Did anyone actually listen to the song? At the end you hear an alarm go off.. so he was basically rapping about a dream and/or nightmare, even if the lyrics had relevance. It was just a smart move by CyHi to get attention, and a pretty dope track also.
Damn barryjohnson he said Mr.west who u think Mr. West is lol he talking bout all of his labelmates what r u reading to say he didn’t direct it straight towards him yes he did he said names
He’s the most underrated rapper. Niggas are scared to listen to him ’cause he’s too real. He brings the ignorant shit to the forefront and calls them out on it. They can’t stare reality in the face, they’d rather pop pills and go to the scrip club.
