Kanye West’s Twitter rant about if the word “b*tch” being acceptable to use in songs was such an interesting emotional outburst. “B*tch” has been used in hip-hop both as a compliment for women ratchet enough to accept it, as well as an insult to those same women. I appreciate that Kanye has recently been so torn about the term that he asked his Twitter followers–myself included–if the term was acceptable.

It was just last month when Kanye declared his boo thang, Kim Kardashian his “Perfect B*tch” in the anthem he released at a rooftop deck earlier this summe.  While I don’t think the song was the sweetest thing he could have done to proclaim his devotion to Kim, I figured the two spotlight seekers were just looking to brighten their shine. Since Kim and Kanye has lasted longer than Kim’s marriage to Kris Humphries and they even rock a cute couple name (Kimye), my thoughts have shifted from “ugh, who cares”; to “ugh I care”; to “ugh why do I care?”

After Yeezy’s predictably unpredictable rant, I wondered if he regretted calling Kim his “Perfect Bitch?” Now that he’s ready to fully settle down with a married woman, it seems West is poised to treat women with respect and strike the derogatory word from his vocabulary. Good for you Kanye! I took a look back at Ye’s lyrics to dig into the historical use of the word, “b*tch” in his music and found 14 mentions of the word he’s confused about using.

Check out some of Kanye’s most b*tched-out lyrics below:

1. “There’ll always be haters, that’s the way it is

Hater n*ggas marry hater b*tches and have hater kids”

-Bring Me Down

2. “Let it be a bad b*tch sweeping

That know we get O’s like Cheerios”

-So Appalled

3. “I blow past low class n*ggas with no cash

In the fo’ dash six, b*tch you can go ask”

-Breathe In, Breathe Out

4. “Yeah, you know what this is

It’s a celebration, b*tches!”

-Celebration

5. “Arguing over babysitters like,

‘B*tch, it’s yo’ turn!’ Damn ‘Ye, it’d be stupid to diss you”

-Gone

6. “My hat, my shoes, my coat, Louis Vuitton stitch, with Donatello Versace,

That’s Louis Vuitton b*tch”

-The Glory

7. “I don’t need your p*ssy, b*tch I’m on my own d*ck

I ain’t got a power trip who you going home with?

How ‘Ye doin’? I’m Surviving

I was drinkin’ earlier now I’m driving

Where the bad b*tches huh? Where ya hidin’?”

-Power

8. “And I’m bout to take it to another level b*tch

there you go again, ain’t nobody as cold as this

do the rap and the track triple double no assist

but my only focus is staying on some bogus sh*t

argue with my older bitch acting like I owe her sh*t”

-Monster

9. “You can hear the loudest screams comin’ from inside the screen
