Kanye West Samples Globglogabgalab During 'Donda' Listening Party

There's been quite a lot about the release of Kanye West's Donda that's made people believe he's messing with us or simply adding to his long list of questionable behavior, but nothing has quite made memers ears perk up like a moment last night during his Donda listening party in Chicago last night, when he evidently dropped Globglogabgalab into one of his songs.

The moment came in the song apparently titled "Remote," and the moment came during a portion of the song that previously featured Kid Cudi.

Theories abound as to why this has happened. Some Twitter users supposed North West saw the meme and Kanye went, basically, "lol."

do u think kanye’s daughter showed him the globglogabgalab memes grandayy made and kanye was like lol minecraft

Others theorized that a joke made by videogamedunkey, in which he mock-streamed Donda and included the meme, caught Kanye's attention.

Somewhat amusingly, Distractify made the argument that perhaps West was artistically inspired by the Globglogabgalab. They write:

In (Strawinsky and the Mysterious House), the Globglogabgalab was just a normal elf created by the Great Elohim. Then, thanks to temptations from Rat King, the Globglogabgalab fell under the spell of evil. As a result of this, he was transformed into an amorphous blob that only vaguely resembled his previous self. This caused him to fear the Scarlet Queen, who would punish him for his transgressions, so he hid away in a house full of books. The parallels to Kanye are there, albeit loosely, but it somewhat makes sense. Kanye may feel like his controversial actions over the years have turned him "evil" like the Globglogabgalab, so he "hid" himself away, either through his multi-week long stay in a windowless room at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta or through his wearing a full head mask and not revealing his face for months.

Whether he's trolling, memeing, or artistically inspired by the Globglogabgalab, we will almost certainly never know. The Globglogabgalab may not even make it onto Donda, which doesn't have a release date and is looking more and more like an elaborate publicity stunt.
