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

[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.

Commercial performance

"One Minute" debuted at number 62 on the US Billboard Hot 100 upon the release of the album. [8] It debuted at a similar position of number 69 on the Canadian Hot 100 in the same week. [9]
