The host started right from the beginning for those of us who didn't follow the feud from its start.
"It's a lot to digest," Kimmel said. "But basically [Kanye] revealed that he is changing the title of his new album for the third time, an album he's already calling the greatest album of all time. He's changing it from 'Swish' to 'Waves.'"

What was the purpose of all that? Kimmel doesn't even try to explain. He does wonder about one thing, though.
"I do have to believe that [late rappers] Tupac [Shakur] and Biggie [Smalls] are watching this and saying, 'You got to be kidding me.'"
