“New Slaves” becomes “New Sleighs” and “Hold My Liquor” becomes “Hold My Eggnogg” in comedy group Local Business Comedy’s Kreezus, a Christmas parody of Kanye West’s Yeezus, which was uploaded via SoundCloud Monday (December 22).
The album, which parodies Kanye West’s sixth album, Yeezus, which was released in Summer 2013, twists the original West songs with a tinge of Christmas jolly. The original lyrics from the Yeezus track “Hold My Liquor” featured a Chief Keef / Justin Vernon hook.
“I can’t handle no liquor,” the original hook goes. “But these bitches can’t handle me, I can’t control my niggas, and my niggas they can’t control me, you say you know me, my nigga, but you really just know the old me.”
“I can’t handle no eggnog but these elfs can’t decorate trees,” Local Business Comedy raps on “Hold My Eggnogg” the album’s fifth track. “I can’t control my reindeers and my reindeers they can’t handle me. You said you know me my reindeer, but you really just know Frosty.”

“You see there’s wood ones and there’s saucers / But I’d rather be a blade than a shoveler,” Local Business Comedy raps on “New Sleighs,” compared to Kanye’s “You see it’s leaders and there’s followers / But I’d rather be a dick then a swallower.”
Kanye West was nominated for multiple Grammy Awards in 2014, including Best Rap Song, for the single “Bound 2,” which had a video that featured him and Kim Kardashian on a motorcycle.
“What you doing in the club on a Thursday,” Kanye West raps on the original album track. “She say she only here for her girl birthday, they ordered champagne but still look thirsty, rock Forever 21 but just turned 30.”
