Louis Farrakhan discusses how rappers are changing while delivering comments to the Nation of Islam’s annual Saviours’ Day keynote address on Sunday (February 22).
“Your children are not like you, parents,” Farrakhan says in his speech. “The rappers, oh man, they rapped on the condition of the hood, but they are all becoming conscious now and white folks are upset.”
He gave this speech at Christ Universal Temple in Chicago, Kanye West’s hometown.
“I had a talk with Kanye West,” Farrakhan says. “He visited me at our farm, just he, but we had a good talk. I know that there’s a better world coming. I know that there’s a world coming, that the color of your skin, as Doctor King said, is not going to be the ticket. It’s your desire to do righteousness. Brother Kanye came to visit me and he brought his wife and his little daughter and it was a beautiful meeting. A lot of my people, you really are very sick. You judge me with the stupidity of your sick minds. I’m just going to tell you a few things because you are not going to get away with mistreating me. I love you and I never sent nobody to harm. Anyone who has a problem with me or these brothers and sisters, they would kill concrete if I directed them that way.”
Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, is reportedly working with Kanye West on a documentary on the minister’s life.
“Minister Louis Farrakhan is one of the most controversial figures of any religious organization,” HipHopDX wrote in a Kanye West editorial. “Makes sense as to why one of music’s most polarizing figures would want to create a documentary on the outspoken leader of the Nation of Islam. Kanye told The Breakfast Club the feature film will center around Farrakhan’s life as a classically trained violinist before being introduced to Elijah Muhammad. Knowing Yeezus’ eye for visual design and team at Donda could potentially deliver something pretty fascinating.”
During the Breakfast Club interview with Kanye West from February 20, the artist compares Kim Kardashian with Minister Farrakhan.
“In the same way my wife got stamped with a sex tape, the Minister was stamped with [bigotry] and it’s important that while he’s still alive he sees the people appreciate his message,” Kanye says. “If you ever hear him talk, it’s about humanity. It’s about one race.”

“A lot of my people, you really are very sick. You judge me with the stupidity of your sick minds.” Hahahahah he sounds like a baby. Also funny how Kanye complains about being “stamped” with things when Farrakhan keeps stamping “white people.”
funny how kanyes wife is white
@ FREE C MURDER, Her ancestral homeland of Albania is in Europe, however she descends from an ethnic bloodline because that nation was part of The Ottoman Empire for about 500 years.
shes still a white girl
Kim is Armenian, which is middle eastern and usually Christian.

dumb comment of the year..white ppl like myself and every white person i know thats into hiphop LOVE conscience music and HATE trap music
grouping all white ppl together again, but this is the same man gets mad when white ppl label blacks all the same smh for someone so old and ‘smart’ he still has a lot to learn about human race.
white people have been the ones playing that conscious shit for the past 10 years. All that underground shit has been kept alive by white hipsters.
This weirdo is a scientologist who believes in aliens and had Maclom X murdered. Kanye is a mark and Kim is a white devil.
Isn’t this guy supposed to be against everything Kanye and Kim represent? Kanye spends most of his free time worshipping white weirdos from Europe.
you a fan of troy ave? really nigga have you ever watched his interviews what a fuckin asshole got an ego like kanye talks all this shit that he the best n greatest but he hasn’t done shit hasn’t sold shit just a cocky short fat little fuck-boy all he did was copy 50 cent whole style n say powder
I respect this guy’s opinion about as much as Lord Jamar’s or whatever the fuck his name is. It’s easy to polarize the world when you’re stupid; conceptually you can’t grasp the complexity that’s really required.
upset about who? Kim and Who together? what what what this old prick is saying? FUCK YOU FCUK KANYE & KIM TOO!!! ALL GO TO HELL 🙂
Last night Kanye’s performance on British Awards was shitttt big shit, with 1000 niggas in the fucking stage some flame up in air, if I was there in the stage with him and had flam shit in my hand I WOULD FUCKING BURN HIM LIKE HELLL YEAHHHH 🙂
lol shut the fuck up you backwards assed, stupid, degenerate, wannabe a nigga dumb ass. We don’t feel your shit, son! Even if you’re not a fan of Kanye, what business you got saying stupid shit like that like you got the balls to some something. FOH stupid ass
Really? I want conscious rappers! (I’m white, obviously). Kanye isn’t conscious. Funny, rappers who spit knowledge are usually labeled as having a white/college fan-base, but now us white people are preventing it? Fuck you.
Real talk though, the main reason you like conscious hip-hop is because you and your friends probably try and find obscure beats and shit like that to seem different to everyone else around. I’m guessing you got a couple preme pieces, maybe an obey t? But jokes aside, c’mon man, you’re not really on that conscious vibe, it’s all to further some self-fulfilling desire to seem like you understand the condition. I respect that you support hip-hop tho, keep doing ya thing but never forget
Lol at anyone believing you clowns saying you are the only ones down with consciousness.
Hip Hop is for everyone black or white so there is no race issue most white people listen to rappers that is a fact!
