I don't like everything Char says but I agree with this right here.

Sometimes as a black man I have to laugh at Kanye West. Black people in the US are having problems in the US, because of the self perpetuated problems of black people from low socioeconomic backgrounds: Living in the projects but wearing $200 sneakers, forgetting about education because the only thing anyone wants to do is be an athlete or an entertainer, and generation after generation of broken families (divorce is one thing but at least TRY to be married).

And guess what?

Kanye glorifies ALL of that. The sad thing is that Kanye makes songs like these to rile these people up so they can run out and buy his music, so he can buy more of the Rolexes and Benzes that he sings about, and not because he cares. But the sad thing is that these folks don't realize that it's not just President Bush who doesn't care about black people, it's also people like Kanye West.

Everything he said seems to be on point...

But I need to see how much money he has and how his hoes be lookin before I can completely cosign it...

Chalamagne speaking the truth

I fukking hate this new Kanye CD ... I hate the fake "innovative" and "groundbreaking" and "rebellion" he is doing.

shyt is wack.

Kanye is a legend but his worst album EVER.

This clown glorifies ALL of that.

But the sad thing is that these folks don't realize that it's not President Bush who doesn't care about black people, it's Kanye West.

When I see post like this I see why being black is hard. We can't blame Kanye for riling up the masses cause when does personal responsibility come in? It's like keep messing up we will blame somebody but when do we stand up and say fukk that you know right from wrong make some better decisions? People also act like blacks want to be entertainers just because that's the way the see out and I can agree maybe we need to see more avenues out. I guess I'm not a person that does much blaming of things esp entertainment and the like. In most cases people are where they are cause of their own choices and the sooner people see that the better off they would be.

I usually don't agree with Charlamagne on certain topics, but dude is on point with this. Let's see what the Kanye stans have to say.

 

[Remy LeBreh]

He's 100% right

 

[NSSVO]

Low key, Char's interviews are the best out currently. Only person that spits so much honesty about other people was probably 50 Cent in his hood heyday.

 

[Da King]

so much truth in this, but his stans don't want to hear this
