Earlier this week, rapper CHIKA made a ton of noise after her response to J. Cole’s scathing “1985” garnered over a million views in less than 24 hours. Though she stated she wasn’t in any immediate rush to capitalize on the momentum, she released an open letter to Kanye West on April 26 which — to date — has surpassed 5 million views.
“Mr. West take a seat I implore ya,” she begins with over Ye’s infamous “Jesus Walks” beat. “It don’t matter how much money you got or you lack, when that check clear don’t forget your children are still black, and your music has been wack, and your views are moving back, to a day that trigger niggas because we still hear that whip crack,” she continues.
Earlier this week, CHIKA spoke with DX to share her thoughts on the new class of MCs who seem to let bars take a backseat.
“I’m 21 — I was an 18-year-old rapper, and I wasn’t saying dumb shit or putting out trash music,” she said. “I find it disheartening to see cats rhyme cat in the hat and sit around with million-dollar deals.”
With all the viral attention she’s garnering, she may very well find herself signing a deal for all the right reasons by the time her first single drops.

Now this high moose gonna blow up
fat bitch has an opinion.. great. cant wait for the next article about her opinions.
Her weight precludes her from having an opinion? Oh… ok.
Just an observation, fatty mcfat fat
Clout chase heavy. Litterally.
Im a kanye fan… but damn.. this is fire! When people say they are looking for the old ye, this is what they want! God damn.. drop an album!
Yeah by admitting to be a kanye fan you dismissed yourself to judge on Quality Raps or Music.
From a mechanical standpoint, these rhyme schemes are very basic. Shorty think she spitting fire. In the Mic Club, it’s simply mediocre. Nothing to see here, folks. Everybody calm down.
The objective of her verse wasn’t to wow anyone “mechanically”. Grow up.
That’s why it’s mediocre
I agree with Farty over QR. Lighten up. Shorty is not that nice. My opinion. Period.
So funny how upset people get these days when some one has a different opinion as them lol
Trump does not represent hate or white supremacy the way people think he does. The media affected people’s perception to think that of him way more than he did. I guarantee everybody that if all you had to judge Trump on was his speeches, there were no media to tell you how to interpret them, assuming you wouldn’t be fans of his policies, you would just think he was kind of a dick who talks mad shit to other politicians, she you would think his constant self-aggrandizing was kinda funny and entertaining. It is the media that holds him to levels of scrutiny they never dreamed of holding Obama to and accuses him off lying, often when he’s telling the truth, and take his words drastically out of context to make him seem likely he hates minorities, never reporting on the times he flatters black people by bringing up how much they’ve been oppressed and that he wants to help their communities, but always reporting the fact that white supremacists who he has repeatedly denounced have said that they pick him out of all the available candidates to make people think that Trump represents the same things as them. He doesn’t, he wants to help the black community thrive, and the liberal media wants to keep them in the Democrat camp dependent on government assistance, so when a charismatic Republican comes along, one who was widely loved by the black community (he even appeared on a Method Man album back in the day), they had to resort to this crap. Kanye see through it, and so should all of you.
He’s been sued multiple times for racial discrimination in his workplaces and rental properties. Wake up
He’s also received awards for giving black people employment opportunities. A guy who’s been running a huge corporation for 40+ years getting sued by the DOJ does not mean much, they file frivolous lawsuits all the time. The one time you are referring to from the ’70s in which they filed suit against him for supposedly discriminating against black people getting apartments in one of his properties, there was one employee used as a witness who claimed that the general manager of the property (not Trump) told him to put a letter on the back of applications to designate the applicant as white, black or other. That one witness later signed an affidavit and testified in the trial that the DOJ coerced him into giving false testimony. So the argument falls flat on its face, and even if it was true, the actual accusations were against the guy Trump hired to run that property, not against Trump himself. If the GM of a McDonald’s franchise told his assistant not to hire black people, and he was doing this on his own accord without instructions from higher ups at the company, it would be absurd to accuse the CEO of the McDonald’s corporation of racism, but that is the basic rationale you are applying when using this case from 40 years ago as evidence against Trump. Trump wants the best for the black community in the here and now, some frivolous lawsuit that was ultimately dismissed from decades ago is not evidence to the contrary.
LOL, Woody Guthrie called Trump’s dad the most racist piece of s*** he ever met. Guthrie even wrote a song about how incredibly racist the dude was back in the 50s. Trump’s company played a major role in the post war segregation of NY. Trump’s daddy made his millions by taking money from racist whites who paid to live in white only neighborhoods. The empire Trump inherited was literally built by stoking racial hatred and profiting from it. These are all well known facts look it up.
Even if any of that was true (I highly doubt that it is), that doesn’t reflect on Donald. Did you know that he once bought a country club that didn’t allow black or Jewish people and he sued the city of Palm Beach to stop allowing clubs to have those policies? This is the guy that you psychopaths are claiming represents hate and white supremacy. For some reason are offended at the thought that he’s not as bad as you’ve been led to believe by the media.
Literally the first speech Trump ever gave, you know the one where he announced his candidacy in the first place, he characterized Mexicans as rapists. He spewed racial hatred in his very first speech and you expect people not to consider that racist? And there’s no thriving in capitalism. Someone’s always gotta be on the bottom and to get to the top you’d have to convince a whole lot of whites to give up their privilege. Not to mention most of this country’s wealth is built on third world exploitation in the first place. The way forward isn’t with Democrats but it sure as hell isn’t with Republicans either. Politically blacks in this country were firmly in the communist camp going all the way back to the 19th century. Blacks didn’t move into the “democrat” camp until the 70s when they were forced to due to torture and executions carried out against the Panthers. Black communists were forced underground leaving the black community largely directionless. Democrats exploited the political vacuum left behind and pulled blacks into their pro-capitalist camp with the promise of meager concessions. Blacks were right in the thick of the 19th century labor movement that secured basic rights like 8 hour work days and ending child labor. When war broke out in Spain against the fascists in the 30s American blacks volunteered in disproportionate numbers to fight with the Spanish communists. Even into the thick of the cold war blacks held their own until government executions forced them underground.
Lmao, this again? He did not characterize ALL Mexicans as racist, fam. You do understand that there are LEGAL Mexican immigrants, ILLEGAL Mexican immigrants, Mexicans who have always lived in the US, and Mexicans who have and always will live in Mexico, right? He was only describing one of those four groups, one which only encompasses a very small portion of the entire population of people described as “Mexicans”, and even then he was certain to add the caveat that he was saying that they all had that negative characteristic (“and some, I assume, are good people”, I believe was the exact quote given). 30% of Mexican Americans voted for him, they did not consider that racial hatred, it was an attack on illegal immigrants, which is not a racial group. It is actually more racist of you to imply that an attack on illegal immigrants constitutes an attack on all Mexicans as if they all fall under that umbrella. If there were a massive migration from Norway coming in illegally, and somebody said that all these Norwegian immigrants were starting to piss them off, it would be completely ridiculous to perceive that as an attack on all white people or even all Norwegian Americans, but that is the logic you are applying here, which a significant portion of Mexicans do not agree with, in fact they find it patronizing and condescending. Furthermore, I’m not saying there aren’t a ton of crooks in the Republican party, but if black people, on average, were more conservative and preferred small government, I have no doubt that the community would be in far better shape than it currently is.
I think it’s reasonable to hold Trump responsible for what he has said and done instead of how one of his supporters reinterprets his words. He may not be a racist but he has deliberately courted and appealed to racists and said and done things that appear racist like calling for the execution of people who were falsely accused of committing a crime and proved innocent beyond all doubt.
Correction: He did not characterize all Mexicans as “rapists” not “racist”. My mistake.
Literally your very first sentence is inaccurate and a complete lie. That made reading the rest of whatever you were going to say irrelevant. Get your facts straight before you attempt an intellectual dialogue.
That sentence is one hundred percent true. June 16 2015 Trump held a press conference in Trump Tower to announce his candidacy. During his speech he made his comments about Mexicans being rapists.
Wrong. Totally out of context. He said, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right people.” Huge difference..
Tell Dem!! 🙂 🙂
Wack
Lol, she bodied Kanye
