Kim Kardashian joined her husband, who was introduced by comedian Chris Rock.

The short tracks cover a range of subjects, including his recent declaration that slavery was a choice. He rapped that Kardashian called “screaming, saying we’re about to lose it all,” fearing the criticism from the statement.

Nicki Minaj is among the artists appearing on some of the tracks.
