I agree with you, Ben. But, given that Kanye is young enough to be my
grandson, what do I know? I don't recall that my own grandfather was
particularly hip. For instance, he thought that a bicycle was called a
"wheel"!

But, speaking seriously, perhaps Kanye felt that he needed an extra syllable
to make the rhythm come out right:

... bAby _by_ BUster
... fUcked _with_ Usher

as opposed to:

... bAby _by_ BUster
... fUcked _0_ Usher
