As do I. But I don't see the kind of repudiation from NBC that such drivel should receive.
Hoof Hearted: Yeah, I know. Not like the good old days in Watts before hip hop came along when the thugs were singin' Soul and RnB, huh?

Hoof Hearted: Read these Kanye [c]rap lyrics and get back to us on that...
Just to get by
Nigga I sold coke, nigga I pushed lah
Carried a fo'five
Claimed I was ready to die
Promised never to cry
Held it all inside
Reality was too much to take so I
Kept my mind fry
Slimmed for most of mine
Soon as I closed my eyes
Then I woke up behind
Nigga either I load up these nines
Or blow up with rhymes
cause this flow of mine is like blow up but lines of coca
And your folks think Hov' just wrote stuff to rhyme
Nah, I'm a poster for what happened seein your moms
Doin five dollars worth to work just to get a dime
So pardon my disposition
Why should I listen to a system that never listened to me?
Picture me working McDonald's
I'd rather pull a mac on you
Sorry Ms. Jackson but I'm packin
Nothing there to encourage what we've all witnessed this week, right?
You were saying...?

BTW, notice any words in there that would get us white folks instantly labeled, "Racist!"??
bump
I wonder how many people who thought about giving are not going to give now because of what he said.
>>>"If you see a black family WITH A TV IN THEIR HANDS, it says they're looting. See a white family WITH WATER AND CHIPS IN THEIR HANDS, it says they're looking for food. ... They've given them permission to go down and shoot us."
That is not true in all cases because there were plenty of black people who were not looting for anything but food, and plenty of white people who were also taking advantage of the situation and stealing merchandise, but HE is the only one not seeing the difference.
What I couldn't figure out was the next line in the review which said the declaration was met with boos. I am not sure if the boos were directed at the dopey singer or the President. I would assume the latter considering the crowd that Green Day attracts but hopefully I am mistaken.
Wow. Read the lyrics to "it all falls down". A true racist moron. If a white entertainer had voiced similar sentments about blacks, he would be on the cover of time, but not to accolades.
""I hate the way they portray us in the media," West said. - (With an outburst that reinforced the portrait.)
Off Topic Side note. NBC knew she was going to tear up a picture, and they were happy with it. She had told them it would be a picture of the sitting President, George the Elder. They flipped when they saw it was the Pope.
the funny think about all of this the very people they are calling racist are the ones they are looking to for help the best think to come of all of this is some of those people will get a real job and not depend on the gov.
The one about group sex is actually the most tasteful - no exaggeration. Why in the world would anyone spend their money on this garbage? Why in the world would anyone think this guy is to be taken seriously?
Could only stomach reading the one. What happened in NO was due to the fact that the people who stayed look to a$$hole$ like this as heroes and leaders.
He made "Jesus Walks", so he can't be all that bad. And what's so bad about "All Falls Down"? He did bash black people for being materialist, after all.
very upset with this outburst..never been a big fan of rap and hip hop and i just recently bought his cd's... in fact kanye west was the first rap/hip hop cd i have ever bought. once i heard this outburst though i gave my cd's to my roomate..
