Power-KANYE WEST by user414006 He may not be superman, but Kanye West has the power to diss "Saturday Night Live."
The outlandish singer's new single, "Power," leaked online Friday and could offer a glimpse at his long-awaited fifth album, ew.com reports.
"Power's" title comes from the song's chorus in which Kanye says, "I guess every superhero needs his theme music/No one man should have all that power."
But the 32-year-old musician seems to think he should have the power to be immune to mockery.
"F--- SNL and the whole cast," he crows at one point, referring to Taylor Lautner's jab at the rapper over an incident at the MTV awards last September in which he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.
At one point, the song takes a darker turn. Kanye sings that he "was drinking earlier, now I'm driving" before the track concludes with an emergency phone call.
"Power" also samples King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" before ending in an epic orchestral finale.
According to Billboard.com, West was in Hawaii in early April putting the final touches on his upcoming album, which will reportedly be titled "Good Ass Job." Alleged collaborators include Drake and Big Sean, who confirmed the album's working title in February.
Kanye's label, Universal Music Group, has not responded to the "Power" leak, but has removed all YouTube videos of the song on copyright grounds.
