Kanye keeps bucking at Bush.
West isn't done with President George W. Bush just yet.
Earlier this week, the Chicagoan performed at San Francisco's Moscone Center West during an unveiling of Apple's new 1.5 iPod nano.
After thanking Apple co-founder Steve Jobs for letting him perform, Ye changed lines from The College Dropout's hit single, "All Falls Down." First he shouted out Jobs by offering, "She had hair so long that it looked like weave/Then she cut it all off now she look like Steve" before spitting, "That's why shorties hollering where the ballas at?/Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack/and George Bush get paid off of all of that."
The guy's a regular LeRoi Jones.
WTF is this crap?
I don't know who this character is nor do I care.
Kanye who?
He's just stupid and HAS to be heard so all can know it!
He is being encouraged just as Sheehan was.
I saw his performance on NBC. He looked like a 3 year old throwing a tantrum. The only thing missing was hie snotty nose.
The energy that these idiots use to try to race bait would be much better used to help the communities that need it instead of trying to create a race conflict that is not there...
Don't Mistake facts here.. the true racist in all this is Kanye West... He is the one that is making race the issue.
hie = his
Ebonics for the ignorant masses.
Kanye West is a rapper, whose video won an MTV Award in spite of its very direct and self-aware Christian message and positioning. Apparently, he was chosen to be the bag-man for the hate indoctrination of the left because they thought he might escape criticism because of his previous work.
I'm sort of sick...more than sick...of hearing the rants of this so-called performer. Maybe this is all he does well. What's he worth, anyway?
Is he talking about taxes? What is that supposed to mean?
Kanye shut yer yap?
Still a hero to the Liberal/ MTV/ Gay Left lobby
Why give him even more attention? He is trying to build his career on these remarks. As many in Hollywood and the music industry do these days....going from obscurity and washed-up status to front-page news after a few predictable comments. Of course it doesn't last long!
don't be a hatuh!
He is talking nonsense... He is just parroting the "Machines of the man keeping blacks down diatribe."
There are those in the black community that think the federal goverment introduced crack and other drugs into the inner city to keep the black population subdued... it is a bunch of crap, but if you are uneducated and refuse to educate yourself Mr. West you will belive anything.
