Reception

[edit]

Controversy arose from West's lyrics: "Now your name is tainted, by the claims they paintin'/The defendant is guilty, no one blames the plaintiff", since they were viewed as victim blaming referring to XXXTentacion's charges of domestic abuse, which were dismissed after he was murdered. A source close to West reported to Billboard that he: "is not defending XXX or referencing anyone in particular".[1] Throughout West's verse, he raps about the court of public opinion.[2]

Music

[edit]

"One Minute" is described as "nu-metal track" by Vulture[3] and a rap-rock frenzy by Pitchfork,[4] as well as a "post-punk screamo frenzy" by HotNewHipHop.[5]
