Kanye West's new album Yeezus is being hailed by most critics as a great album and is expected to have good first week sales. But a line in one of it's songs has managed to anger some because of it's Parkinson's Disease reference.
The song in question is "On Sight." In it Yeezy raps, "A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this b*tch shaking like Parkinson's."
The line is being criticized by the American Parkinson Disease Association. The organization's Vice President Kathryn Whitford told TMZ the lyrics showed ignorance on Kanye's part.

"We find these lyrics distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance," she said.
The APDA was founded 50 years ago and is the largest organization in the United States dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's and helping those with the disease.
