Again man, you're going off the topic of my response to your statement. You said everybody was down with him until he ran for office. That is just not true. Everyone was not down for him until he ran for office. You were wrong on that front, that's all I'm saying. I'm not going to defend people for liking him in 2007, 2004, etc... that's not what what you were talking about and not what I responded to. Everyone was not down with him until he ran for office... fact.
I think we are talking past each other. The folk I’m refferring too are the old heads, the 40 and up folks who have been riding with Trump for decades. The under 40 crowd really didn’t rock with Trump like that. That crowd was not down with him.

this quote hits the mark

"KANYE WEST WANTS YOU TO HEAR HIS OPINION, BUT HE DOESN’T WANT TO HEAR ANYONE ELSE’S—A REJECTION OF THE CONCEPT OF “FREE THOUGHT” HE CLAIMS TO HOLD SO DEAR"

ask him if will have the guts to have "FREE THOUGHT " enough to praise HITLER as being "unique" and having "love for hitler" or admiring him becos he has similar "DRAGON" energy like him, tell him to dare it!, try it one time ! he wont even think of attempting that! but we allow these folls to troll black folks suffering and reality in teh name of "upward mobility" and "non victim " mentality.


and remember in the ebro phone call he says "he wants to start dialogue , conversation". ebro replies " we been having this dialogue and conversation , u just werent in it becos u didnt participate", so he cant say theres no dialogue or conversation just becos he wasnt in it , when he reality he wants the dialogue and convo to be about what he wants it to be about.when he wants it to happen and how he wants it to happen. so much for " free thinking"

Maybe Kanye is so brilliant we are looking past his genius. On the surface he is showing us how easy it is to manipulate Trump by simply paying a complement and wearing a red hat. Trump Fox News and others will all co-sign this and when the album drops. He gives his "New" Fanbase knowledge on the corruption of those in power. This could all be a ploy in order to start that dialogue. How else do you draw in that other side to have a dialogue and to get them to engage. We are all too polarized to listen to one another.
Or Maybe he is batshit crazy.

I'll take the latter that he's just a batshit crazy coon but that would be epic if he does what you described on his album.

He appeals to folks like yourself who believe such bullshit as you typed. Ain't nu'n genius about dude not has it ever been. Music or otherwise.
Did you read the rest of the quote or just the first line? It's all a hustle like a slick talking pastor, they dont all believe in the mystery God floating above us beyond the clouds but they sell that shit every Sunday. Same with these Trump loving niggas. They dont believe this shit but it ain't no money in hating Trump there are enough people in that lane.

First off it was a theory. I not a big Kanye but just because you are not a part of the conversation does not mean you can't join in later. Now if your point was it would now be convenient that he has an album to sell, I would agree but also would state that his platform is on a record. Hip Hop started out as a social political outlet for the youth and has lost it's way recently and so have many of the artist putting music out today. I just hope now being a family with children will mature Kanye, but I am sure it won't as he is a narcissistic egomaniacal Ass. He probably aspires to be the black Trump or at least O.J. status. FUCK Coonye but dont always believe what's being sold to you on face value. All of these artist have an Alterior motive to sell their product whether its Books, Speeches, Albums, or Movies.

John Legend asked Kanye West to reconsider his Trump support. Kanye put their texts on Twitter.

https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/4/26/17286230/john-legend-kanye-twitter-trump-tweets

461227730.jpg.0.jpg


After Kanye West launched an ongoing series of tweets about his admiration of Donald Trump and conservative figures like Candace Owens, John Legend reached out to him directly via text — and ended up becoming the subject of yet another Kanye tweet for his trouble.

“I hope you’ll reconsider aligning yourself with Trump,” he wrote. “You’re way too powerful and influential to endorse who he is and what he stands for. As you know, what you say really means something to your fans ... so many people who love you feel so betrayed right now because they know the harm that Trump’s policies cause. Don’t let this be part of your legacy.”

And even though Legend ended with the kind of compliment Kanye loves — “you’re the greatest artist of our generation” — West replied with a friendly but firm refusal, then posted their exchange directly to Twitter.



This accusation that Legend is manipulating Kanye’s “free thought” falls in line with the rest of Kanye’s recent tweets, which have hinged on the idea that he, an artist and an intellectual, should have the right to admire whomever he likes — even Trump.

That’s true, of course. Kanye absolutely has the right to associate with whomever he wants. But Legend’s point — which he went in depth on in a series of tweets last night — is less about whom Kanye is allowed to admire and more the fact that his support for this president has stung much of Kanye’s fan base for much more personal reasons than he might care to realize.





Legend’s point is that Kanye might be able to afford indulging in abstract “free thought,” but many people affected by Trump’s actual policies — many people who may overlap with Kanye’s fan base — can’t.

Even though Legend sent those pointed tweets the night before he texted Kanye directly, he was still caught off guard when the texts ended up on Twitter. Or, as Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen, who is better at Twitter than her husband and Kanye and just about anyone, put it:



Though he told Legend he appreciated his thoughts, Kanye posting the text exchange on Twitter with an accusation that Legend was trying to “manipulate” him speaks volumes on how he feels about people trying to rein him in right now — even if it’s a friend. (And even if, as Teigen and Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian West joked about on Twitter shortly afterward, they all have dinner plans this weekend.)

Still, Kanye and Legend managed to end on something resembling a cordial note, even after Legend sent a follow-up text to emphasize that Kanye’s “words and actions have consequences too” — and that he’d noticed Kanye was posting their private texts on Twitter for millions to see. But Legend managed to turn that negative into a positive, in a wry text that said maybe Kanye could at least mention Legend has a new single out while he’s at it.



Maybe you’re reading this wondering why the hell you should care about any of this, which, fair. But as Legend pointed out, both he and Kanye (and their respective spouses) have reached the point where they have enormous platforms that allow millions of people to hear what they have to say. Sometimes that can be an amazing thing. Other times it puts a huge burden of responsibility on someone who might not be thinking about what that actually means.

That interview with Sway said it all. Sway is trying to talk to him, and Kanye was too busy stuck in his own world of leather jogging pants and how major designers won't talk to him.
