Let's be honest though, Kanye has done a lot more than a lot of other major rappers.
Nobody can name an artist that has had the balls to do anything close.
Matter fact their favorite rapper is out here doing PSAs for jews.
You're right about that but the same goes for any well selling rapper including Kanye.
My point, b, is that Pac may have fukked Madonna but he came from and represented a different economic level.
One became a rap legend. The other became a ghost written diva.
To this day, this is still sooooo to me...
And they also know his views on racial discrimination at the executive level.
So because he came from a family that afforded him a normal upbringing he can't speak on racial issues?
Fact is he's the son of a panther. Yes he grew up middle class and wasn't in the streets. Yes he's a diva, and into faggy fashion, but the fact remains whatever lame he was in, and saw corruption, he spoke out on it. Whether it be at a charity event, or drunk at an awards show.
Y'all trying to set a bar to be called militancy, name me another artist that has spoke out against racial inequality, against the script, consistently, and didn't care if the media crucified him for it
Jay Z would be scared to say an iPhone is better than a Samsung Android
That's the big difference between Jay and Kanye.
Jay only becomes threatening to his own, especially when he's rapping about flooding the black community with drugs and/or condescendingly telling us how his curtains cost more than our houses.
No white man in power is worried about Kanye West.
Not even Brice Jenner.
The one heterosexual on Earth who's slightly manlier than Kanye after all the plastic surgery..
You just made my case for me.
The only time Kanye got noticed for that was when he took the mic from Taylor Swift of all people and he quickly apologized after on fukking ELLEN.
I'm only in my late twenties but I get when old heads say each generation is getting softer.
Yeah, Kanye's father was a Panther but he has to be his own man.
Jay is in the backend of my top ten so I don't care about phones.
Let's also keep in mind, that Kanye's biggest audience is white hipsters.
For black empowerment and shedding light on issues. I don't even know too many rappers who have done that.For who?
He got on George Bush radar and royally pissed him off:steven:
Name me your favorite rapper and I'll then ask you if George Bush even knows his name.
You're missing the point.
Name a black rapper/entertainer/celebrity A-C list that has been as outspoken as Kanye on corruption.
I'm waiting.
Whether he passes your bar to be called militant is irrelevant, fact is there is nobody else in the industry that has the balls to say what he has said.
And it's been more than Taylor Swift (which by the way pointed out that a black female music icon was being robbed by some cac), it's also been the Katrina situation in New Orleans, it's also been the racism in the fashion industry, it's also been him defining to you what modern racism/bring a new slave is. He's showing you you still face these same issues our ancestors did, but in different forms.
Again, name me any black rapper/musician/actor/celebmusrity/athlete dead or alive, since Tupac Shakur that has done better.
