When it's Kanye West, even old news becomes headline worthy. A four year old video of the self-proclaimed "greatest rock star on the planet" jiving to music while on an Economy Class plane has gone viral after it resurfaced on Twitter yesterday.

Twitter user @Gravezmusic posted the short 11 second snippet on his twitter page yesterday and has since garnered 5,000+ retweets and favourites. The clip shows Kanye, using his laptop, completely lost in the music as a stewardess delivers the pre-flight safety checks. While it's impossible to tell what Kanye is doing on his laptop, Gravez believes he was producing a new beat as he the tweet read: "Kanye making the most fire ass beat on that economy class."

Kanye making the most fire ass beat on that economy class.

Perhaps the footage of Kanye vibing to music has gone viral because recently, not much news regarding him and the topic has surfaced. His highly anticipated album SWISH (formerly known as ‘So Help Me God’) is slated to drop this year, but no release date has yet to be revealed. A user on Reddit has reportedly heard the album in its entirety, and posted a leaked low quality recording (which has since been removed from the site) but it’s probably not enough for Yeezy die hards.

For most of 2015, Headlines centred on West have revolved around his highly publicized leap into the world of fashion. At New York Fashion Week in February, West unveiled his first designer collaboration with german sportswear giant Adidas. During the presentation, West played a new song entitled Wolves, which featured artists Sia and Vic Mensa. The song was allegedly the first track of his new album but it was absent on the reddit leak.
