Late last week, Kanye West released a new track dedicated to his daughter, North West.

Titled "Only You," the single is a collaboration between the rapper and Paul McCartney and Kim Kardashian has said it’s her favorite Kanye song of all-time.

As for fans of West, they’ve responded to the tune with one simple question: Who the heck is Paul McCartney?!?

McCartney, an original member of The Beatles and one of the most successful artists in the history of music, hit his prime long before many Kanye supporters were born.

As a result, some Twitter users believe West "discovered" McCartney and they predict very big things for this heretofore unknown singer.

A sampling of actual Tweets that hit the Internet upon "Only You" going viral:

  • who tf is paul mccartney???!??! this is why i love kanye for shining light on unknown artists.
  • I don’t know who Paul McCartney is, but Kanye is going to give this man a career w/ this new song!!
  • Kanye has a great ear for talent. This Paul McCartney guy gonna be huge.
  • I usually don’t pay much attention to Kanye West, but it’s cool he’s launched this ‘Paul McCartney’ dude’s career.

So, yes, folks, it has now come to this: Due to the Kim Kardashian sex tape, more young people know who Ray J is than who Paul McCartney is.

React to that information however you see fit.
