Kanye West's sixth album, has received critical acclaim from fans and music insiders alike, however his controversial and racy lyrics on Yeezus did not sit well with everyone. Yeezy was recently called out for a Parkinson's Disease pun hit made on the album opener track, "On Sight," featuring French electronic duo Daft Punk.

Kanye raps, "A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this b*tch shaking like Parkinson's."

Listen to "On Sight:"

The American Parkinson Disease Association is criticizing Kanye's imagery and metaphorical rhetoric. The organization's Vice President Kathryn Whitford told TMZ the lyrics showed ignorance on Kanye's part.

We find these lyrics distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance," she said. The APDA was founded 50 years ago and is the largest organization in the United States dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's and helping those with the disease, reported TMZ.

Do you think Yeezy thought about the APDA when he was writing the lyrics to "On Sight?"
