Finally, the time has come for Kanye West to actually share some new music following all the announcements he made.
[apple_news_ad type=”standard”]
On Friday (April 27), Kanye added fuel to the fire sparked by the people who believe he has lost his mind by supporting Donald Trump.
His new song “Lift Yourself” was simply nothing but soul samples and scatting about scat.
However, for his new song “Ye Vs. The People” featuring one of Hip Hop’s biggest anti-Trump voices in T.I., an open conversation is had.
“I know Obama was Heaven-sent/But ever since Trump won, it proved that I could be President,” Kanye raps to which Tip retorts, “Yeah you can, at what cost though?/Don’t that go against the teachings that Ye taught for?”
“Yo T.I.P., I hear your side and everybody talk though/But ain’t goin’ against the grain everything I fought for?” Yeezy responds.
The record was premiered on Power 106 Los Angeles and caps off a week where the commanding megastar tweeted how Trump “was his brother,” openly disagreed with John Legend and even showed off his autographed “Make America Great Again” hat.

Mr. West has finally woken up.
Are you serious? He’s a troll. And you have been trolled. You and millions of other idiots.
Go back under your bridge on the democrat plantation.
This radio dude need to shut the fuck up but at least ‘Ye on some level of consciousness again. Hopefully…
Yes! It instantly reminded me of Funk master Funk master Flex Funk Master Flex back in the day on every mixtape he host.
T.I. setting black people back decades on this.. Can you actually pronounce some words and TRY to sound intelligent on an important track like this?
Yo Ye WOKE AF.
Playing with the masses for views, clicks and plays. He’s getting rich but doing zero for the black community with his childish Trump attention seeking antics. Why u think Jay ain’t rockin with dude no more! Jay (so called democratic ass) has done more for blacks (worldwide) than anything Kanye has ever done!
Probably because Jay is a fucking diva and never shows loyalty, why you think Jaz-O, Beanie, Kanye, Lupe, Dame Dash and basically everyone else he came up with don’t fuck with him any more. Even Beyoncé has tracks calling out her own husbands lack of loyalty.
The “black” community segregates itself, it’s 2018 and Kanye has joined the human community instead, like most of Earth who see beyond skin colour.
Race only defines those who allow to define them.
Yep. P on point. Like I said regarding the John Legend quotes from yesterday. “You have a particular pigment so you have to have this opinion and can’t think for yourself.’ – John Legend. Discussions needs to happen about racial issues, but turning every little thing into a racial issue, when it isn’t, is what happens in the US and it doesn’t help one iota. It just continues to divide.
Jay follows trends. Always has, always will.
Ye killed this, he just made TI look like a full on headline educated sheep and himself look aware as fuck.
What did Obama do in 8 years about Police brutality because it was worse under his administration.
Obama deported more immigrants than any President in history.
Obama is tweeting now how he stands behind the “brave young people protesting guns” and yet for 8 years didn’t do shit so the school shootings that followed are on him.
Obama was the greatest illusion ever perpetrated on the world, and the only difference between him and Bush was charisma.
This is absolutely terrible. I’d rather he released another troll track. Both of them need to stop rapping. Forever.
This is the same dumbas who said George Bush didn’t care about black people on TV for attention, but 13 years later, Trump does? Okay brush.
And having TI on there doesn’t help anything from any side. He’s dumb as hell too. Just a bad look all the way around. This is why kids need to know that most of these rappers aren’t deep thinkers. Most of them are dumb ass fools.
The thing is Kanye’s music was some gamechanging shit for a long time, but it’s not anymore. He is done, like many producers of his era: Scott Storch, and sadly – Timbo,( but i really hope he will amaze us). I don’t like to say it this way by nothing last forever. And to be honest the throne is empty. None of these new producers amazed me. Repetitive shit all the time. Nothing new.
Sober Storch still Coming with bangers man
So looping old soul music is game changing shit? Okay.
At what point can we stop pretending Kanye is a legitimate rapper? He made a few beats people liked 2 decades ago, does that really mean he gets a free pass for life? Fuck that, fuck him, and fuck his stupid ass attention whore antics.
If this was J.Cole y’all would be calling it a classic and mind opening, and telling people they’re too dumb to understand. Well done Kanye, they think you like Trump the man and his policies but fail to see it’s the idea of Trump where you don’t have to follow the sheep to be successful. Kanye knows Trump is on some fuckshit.
Respectfully, that doesn’t really make sense. Trump is the result of people following sheepishly. The idea of being a non monolithic thinker is not as reductive as thinking that if their is a mass movement it is immediately wrong. Their can be something so obviously wrong that a large portion of people think it’s wrong. Being anti just to be anti is not intelligence, its sarcasm.When sarcasm is backed by tyrannical policy it becomes oppression.
*there
you dont know what you talking about. trump is the RESULT of being forced to live with shit others tell you to live and give you nothing for doing it. sheep are told where to go what to do when to do it by the farmer, if the sheep rebel they say fuck the farmer and chose another way…trump represents that way of thinking, trump is the middle finger to the system that dont give a shit about what you say
my reply is intended to darryl not like it or not
Hahahahaha this hurts to listen to wtf
Kanye’s flow sounds staccatto. The concept is corny. Drake would sound way better on the beat
This shit go hard. The best, the fact that Kanye put T.I on it so we would get two perspectives, everything. I won’t say it’s one of his best or anything like this, but I fuck with Kanye because he thinks for himself and isn’t a follower.
“thinks for himself and isn’t a follower”, he’s only following the current president of the fucking country who got elected 63 MILLION votes? Yeah Ye’s not sheepish at all
Great job. What’s next? Bombing a mosque as a marketing move?
Kanye’s winning.
Trash
Garbage
Fuck this clown
Fuck KW
Can the fuxking DJ stop talking over the track and putting them drops on so the track would actually be audible lmao
LMAO, come and get ya’ll’s man….. Kanye and TI are not really woke rappers or true MC’s…….Kanye is so overrated and a total wash now……..He has been giving a pass far too long in the game. I’m not saying he isn’t talented or can’t make hit records but he is not this musical genius everybody makes him out to be.
I knew this whole MAGA Hat thing all the sudden was just for marketing reasons. Of Course their is a Song coming that is abput this topic. He watched the Joyner Lucas Song and was like “I need some of that on my Album. Songwriters make me a Song like that”
Kanye and T.I. made this in their meeting on Thursday, so all of this was made after the whole MAGA hat and tweeting. So all of the tweeting was not just a publicity stunt and this will not be on his album. Short time also explains why his flow is wack. Can tell he didn’t put much time into it because it is not mixed well either
Great concept. wack beat
This shit go hard!!!
Hot garbage
Whats the point of debuting a song on your shitty radio station just to talk over it for 6 seconds every 4 – 5 bars? Fuck the radio. This is why I fuck with satelite radio HEAVY! ~SHOT97 APPROVED~
SiriusXM brought to you by Howard Stern. Thanks Howard! Roosevelt, Long Island – Stand UP!
Kayne’s speaking his mind. Not backing down, even if it means his career and reputation are trashed. He’s not bashing anyone, just sharing his opinion. Just being free. I respect that. Difference of opinion is a good thing. It’s freedom. Agree to disagree
So Con-Ye’s “free thoughts” are that maybe helping Orange Hitler promote white supremecy ain’t so bad? No thanks *turns up KOD*
New music dropping ….so let’s be controversial etc etc. And it’s working….Nothing new under sun 🙂
This is a podcast with a beat, not a song. I’ve heard legit debate songs that don’t suck. This is terrible. Also F. UCK TRUMP.
