Kanye West has dominated Hip Hop news in the last few days for making two lengthy, spirited, controversial speeches at concerts that have caused many of his fans to angrily turn their backs on him. In his extended rants, Yeezy spoke his truth, taking aim at everything from radio playlist politics to Mark Zuckerberg hunting for aliens.
He also said that (had he voted) he would’ve cast his ballot for president-elect Donald Trump.
Talib Kweli is one of the many commentators who took issue with Kanye’s late endorsement for Hip Hop’s arch nemesis, respectfully reminding him of the impact that words can have.
The two rappers go back more than a decade, with Kweli being instrumental in raising Kanye’s profile in the Hip Hop world. West even gave him a shoutout on “Last Call,” the closing cut from his monumental 2004 debut album, The College Dropout.
“My relationship with Kweli I think was one of the best ones to ever happen to my career as a rapper,” he said. “Because, you know, of course later he allowed me to go on tour with him. Man, I appre– I love him for that.”
In a later tweet, Kweli showed a similar sentiment, thanking Kanye for giving him and others “life.”
Saying an individual should vote a certain way because simply of his or her race is fundamentally racist.
FUCKKK CRAKKKERS and FUCKKK CRAKKKER LOVERS that is going to disrespect Talib Kweli for his music and point of view in the world we live
You use a term considered to be a derogatory racial slur in your user name. In light of that, do you really think you hold the moral high ground?
You still iut here talking to yourself dentaldam? Dedicated.
Yes, “out” here.
Note to Talib, this isn’t 2004, 2005, or 2007. That Kanye has long since gone. It’s been over!!!!!
When I read the first Tweet I already could puke all over my laptop. Real N*ggas still got love for you?? Thats how he got so delusional. Because he can apparently say the most insane and disrespectful sh*t and still, even the people who disagree with him keep s*cking his D*ck. Thats why he things he is untouchable
White folks dindu nuffin but jack our swag yo
Dindu, haha. I like that. I’m gonna jack that one.
Talib is a leftist idiot who thinks socialism is a good idea. How he got deluded into thinking he knows the truth is beyond me. Trump has nothing to do with police brutality and Hillary wouldn’t have done anything about it either since she was mentored by a kkk member (Robert Byrd). The days of getting away with rioting and looting are coming to an end. I’m a black man who understands economics. That’s why I support Trump.
You’re an Uncle Tom with Stockholm syndrome
An Uncle Tom is what a communist calls a non-communist of his or her race.
Honestly Kanyeis disappoi ting on many levela qere he is intitleto speak his mi d but when u take the role of pyblic eye threw musiq or acting ect. You should remember whathappened to his wife. And what all can happen to him. Financially. And if he think for one second trump give a dam about his black ass he is crazy. How can u get on national tv and say bush dont like black people but praise trump. They are the same type of people. Wr need to stop buyong his albums those ugly clothes and pay him no mind almost like he dont matter. To get arragent peole the best is to treat them ad if they dont matter. No attentionattention. I stop buying his albums after the second one. He doesnt deserve my hard earned money. As a matter of fact he got to much of my atention now. Bye DTAY FOCUSED.
Now we just need Common, Mos Def, Q-tip, etc to join in and help bring kanye back down to earth. Kanye still has good material, but he is capable of greatness.
mos def moved to africa, i don’t think he gives a shit about any of this.
I love this new Kanye even more than old Kanye.
The only thing that KILLS you is your own black brothers in the ghetto. He said Kanye gave him “Life”.. LMAO WTF these morons are completely lost! And they say they believe in One God… BULLSHIT! There’s niggaz and then there’s black people, Talib and Kanye are niggaz that dont make any sense.
Rich Black Trailer Trash
leave the man kanye alone hes allowed to have his own opinion, some of yall bitches sound like dictators out here with this never trump shit. the man wasnt racist for 30 years while he was helping americans both black and white. but you see some bullshit on cnn now hes a racist all of a sudden, this guys on some 2106 slave shit still playing follow the leader for real. open your mind and you might just see whats up and that the country is moving forward with or without you.
You do realize there are examples of him being a racist every decade dating back to the early 70’s, right? Funny you imply only dictators want to suppress someone’s opinions, yet you’re also pro Trump…… a man who wants to change libel laws in order to suppress people from giving their opinions on him.
all your examples of him being racist are made up bullshit fed to you by the liberal media that you follow like a good lap dog. can you give me one example of him supressing peoples opinions? i see him doing more to listen to everyones opinion then obama did and fyi i voted for obama 2 times and he didnt fix shit where i live. i think you need to do a little research and stop listening to the lies fed to you because your going to be living in shit as long as u follow it
What state do you live in? If you think Obama didn’t help you out. What state are you in bro? Because I have a feeling you have no idea what you’re talking about. Second, I don’t know one black person who is supporting Trump and republicans. So clearly your not black.
newyork bro new york city and yes i agree i dont know many friends who arent supporting trump but i know plenty who do bro and to answer your question im actually mixed white/black. and no obama didnt do shit besides try to make me pay for insirance i dont want then take almost 1,000$ out of my taxes for not getting it bro. his bullshit propaganda caused riots in my city bro. yeah thats whats up bro.

the whole irony is these people complain about racism and boiling down individuals to race, but then if you have an opinion that deviates from them you’re a race traitor and “not black” anymore. liberals once again proving that they’re the most obsessed with race and deal in racist ideologies.
When it comes to issues – I favor black star over west
Just come home, Ye… that’s all we ask.
Trump is not a leader and he definitely has a lot of ideas that I believe aren’t good for a nation that wants to progress. Trump wants to keep his money in his power and that’s why he hated Obama so damn much. I’m not a person that tries to provoke or force my opinion on anyone, but I will argue my opinion to anyone.
talib is sucking some mayor dick on this one: “A genius, an icon. U added greatness to my life”??? get the fuck out of here that’s why this idiot has an inflated head for suckas like talib pushing his ego to the roof
so now they’re blaming black crime and violence on Trump? this is like when the republicans blamed obama for every single thing they didn’t like.
Who’s “they” and where did you see that?
