Kanye realizes that he's been used by right-wing personalities, including black conservative, Candace Owens. https://www.thedailybeast.com/pro-trump-activists-blame-charlie-kirk-and-candace-owens-for-losing-kanye-west?ref=scroll https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/glanton/ct-met-dahleen-glanton-kanye-west-politics-20181031-story.html
That's the point. Faux News will attack Jay Z for his lyrics because he's liberal, but will defend Kanye just because he's a Trump supporter. Kanye is just like most other mainstream rappers. It's all about politics. Fox News has even attacked Common even though he's one of the more positive, socially-conscious rappers. If I had kids, I'd rather have them listen to Common than Kanye.
I wouldn't know - they all sound the same to me. Now, I realize that can be taken as a variation on the old racial joke, "They all look the same to me." But when I talk about rappers sounding the same, I'm not just talking about Black rappers. I include Eminem, Lin-Manuel Miranda and, though I can't think of any Asian rappers at the moment, also them. In my book, rap music is as much an oxymoron as, say, online university. I have spoken. If anyone disagrees, I don't give a rap. (Ba-da-bum!) Or, as they say at the end of the show, that's a wrap.
Good call. Kanye is talented, but delusional and ignorant. The world could use a bit less delusion and ignorance IMO. Common is talented and intelligent and reasonable. The world could use a bit more intelligence and reasonability IMO.
