Kanye West Slams Bush

« Antony Finds His Voice | The NY Times | Getting Naked for Nick Zinner's Book | pics (NSFW) »

"Outspoken rap artist Kanye West criticized U.S. President George Bush last night on a TV concert aimed at raising money for victims of Katrina. Appearing in a segment with Canadian Mike Myers, Kanye slammed Bush for his reaction to the crisis saying "George Bush doesn't care about black people.” He also said that America is set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible." West was supposed to be reading from a teleprompter but deviated from the script. His comments were edited out for the West coast airing three hours later." [Much Music]

This clown is a poetic genius...Move over Keats, Pope, Wordsworth, Shakespeare, Emerson, etc. you are about to be outdone by the brilliant work of Kanye West.

Sell drugs and do crimes with your kids around, thats good.

Always use a gun and violence to solve lifes problems. Never be responsible for your own actions and place the blame for your life with others(i.e. George Bush).

Kanye has a very creative approach to grammar as well. Ohhh, sorry, ebonics has no syntax.

Yeah, your right! Kanye West is a brilliant man.
