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."
Don't forget he's the smartest guy in hip-hop.
Mike Savage has the best name for this guy: "Sugar Kayne" West
Let's see Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Kayne.......
Trend analysis would indicate that these folks are Democratic role models for the Democratic version of black America. Maybe the torch will be passed from Al to Kayne just as it was passed from Jesse to Al.
Thanks for the explanations.
I think I know what I won't be buying any time soon.
Profanity is merely a feeble mind trying to express itself.
What the F^^^ are you talking about? :)
J/K
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack/and George Bush get paid off of all of that.
Is he talking about taxes? What is that supposed to mean?
An explanation in Jesse Jackson-speak: Crticize, Politicize, Victimize.
Free speech means the government doesn't have the authority to shut you up.
It does not mean that you're guaranteed an audience, nor does it mean that anybody is obligated to provide you with a platform.
Nobody with a sense of decency would be providing this racist moron with a platform or credibility.
He should be rejected, repudiated, and shunned.
Oh, really?!?! Now that's a truly damning indictment of hip-hop ...
ok.. lemmee translate..
Drug dealer buy Jordans/ crackhead buy crack/and George Bush get paid off of all of that.
crackheads buy crack from the dealers, who use the money to buy jodans (air jordan's.. nikes) and bush is getting kickbacks both off the drugs and the shoes (taxes/ big corp contributions/ lobbies)
he's trying to say that as long as bush is getting his kickbacks from drug trafficking (referring to his immigration policy) and big corp, he's gonna keep the black man down so he can keep getting his money.
unfortunately, he's partially right, with bush's lax stance on illegal immigration, and the country's policy on confiscating property tied to drug trafficking, the country is making huge profits. and as long as bush allows traffickers to run drugs, and big corps to employ cheap labor (illegal immigrants or out of country outsourcing - see fox's remark mexicans do the jobs the blacks won't) then yes, many black people are going to be kept "down"
what he's missing is that its not just the black people that suffer, it causes everyone to suffer. like many other insults, this one hurts more since it has a slight tinge of truth to it.
But he should GET the hook.
I suppose this is the sort of logic you get when crackheads try to think....
susie
lol....
I don't know if Kanye is a crackhead.... but I would say there are cracks in his head for sure....
I was thinking of the theory that the govt introduced crack to keep AAs down. That had to come out of a crack pipe.
susie
oh no that has been a long running mantra of the left and the aa community that whitey introduce drugs to the inner city to oppress the "black man"
In otherwords a welfare community wants an exucse to stay on the dole instead of pulling themselves up and helping their own.
Yeah, I've heard it before. It just sounds like something a crackhead would come up with. Who knows.
Anyway, it's a goofy idea, but I had students who belived it.
