One of Kanye West's new songs off of his 2013 album "Yeezus" includes these lyrics - "A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this bitch shaking like Parkinson's." Now, the controversial track "On Sight" is being slammed as "ignorant" and "distasteful" by several fans... including members of the American Parkinson Disease Association. Do Mstars readers find Yeezy's references to Parkinson's upsetting?

Listen to the new "Yeezus" track "On Sight" here... the album was just released on June 18. The verse referencing Parkinson's can be heard at around the 40-second mark:

And some people aren't happy about it.

Vice President of the American Parkinson Disease Association Kathryn Whitford tells TMZ, "We find these lyrics distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance."

And several Twitter fans seem to agree:

@kurrraboyce: "I've never been a fan, now I dislike him."

‏@TiffanyKairos: "shows the world how small his brain + how big his mouth is again."

@Ckeyes82: "@kanyewest glad u find that parkinsons is a joke, mb u should have one of your family members get it to really appreciate it."

Are readers offended by Yeezy's rather distasteful reference to Parkinson's? The rapper and his reps have yet to respond.
