Reception

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

"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]

Music video

The music video was released on December 7, 2018, as the first video for a song from Skins, but later removed from Vimeo.[6] It uses raunchy animations to show large-busted women, aggressive scenes of violence, and depictions of the angsty lyrical content.[7] JJ Villard provided the explicit animation for the music video.[6] It was shown at the Skins Release Party when Kanye made his surprise appearance.
