It appears the political debate between Kanye West and T.I. took place off wax too.
Days after the rhyming pair dropped “Ye vs. The People,” behind-the-scenes video of the two crafting the song and debating their sides has been released on KanyeWest.com
In the video, T.I. continued to question why Kanye would wear a “Make America Great Again” hat. At one point, the Us Or Else artist called Ye “thoughtless” for wearing it.
Kanye defended his choice to don the controversial hat, comparing his decision to wear it to as “a fight for equality.”
“Me putting the hat on forces an evolution … When I wear that hat it’s like a fight for equality,” Kanye said. “Like ‘Oh, I can wear this hat too.’ I think people get mad at me when I name my idols. I don’t say Michael Jordan. I say Disney … I did not wear that hat to hurt them. Half the shit Trump does, I don’t agree with.”
From there, T.I. asked “What half do you agree with?” ‘Ye didn’t offer a direct answer to the question, but instead seemed to commend Trump on his ability to inspire.
“It’s the ability to do what no one said you could do. To do the impossible. It is the most inspiring thing to me,” Kanye said.

Yeah buddy, how dare they . Have a like on me, you deserve it .
Actually, more Blacks should discuss politics.
Kanye has on multiple occasions stated he doesn’t like what Trump does, his love for Trump is the idea of anybody can do anything and you don’t have to force yourself to fit in. Black ppl getting mad at him are not allowed to be angry with those who change the Kaepernick national anthem debate. We know why Colin kneels but the ppl will ignore the message and criticize the act, the same way ppl are doing it with Kanye.
Don’t be dumb the only message here is that “my album is coming out please buy it” how is it he wore a mags hat last week and there’s already a song going back n forth with ti about it And a video in the works? This was planned well in advance. It’s called an album roll out and All Y’all fools falling for it
You can still speak the truth in an album rollout.
Kanye mastered the art of free promo
Youre mistaken, Trump mastered the art of free promo, Kanye’s following in his footsteps
the art of selling music streams!
Donald Dump’s great America isn’t what Kanye think it is. That dumbass hat is equivalent to a dumbfederate flag.
