kanye is another self made man, one who came from nothing though
and , like many rich people, he feels free to say whatever he thinks,,,regardless what people may think or say,,,,
I wouldnt vote for either him nor Trump, I dont feel either have a clue of how the government works,, just what they want to see happen in the country(like most americans)
What, exactly, DID Kanye say last night that brought about this stupid headline? Heres a transcript of his "speech".....
"" Bro, bro, listen to the kids. Jeremy, I got
to put it down for a second, it's beautiful,
Jeremy Scott designed... First of all, thank
you Taylor for being so gracious and giving
me this award this evening. And I often
think back to the first day that I met you.
Also, you know, I think about when I'm in
the grocery store with my daughter and I
have a really great conversation about
fresh juice, you know, and at the end they
say, "You're not that bad after all." And I
think about it sometimes, like it crosses
my mind when I go to a baseball game and
60,000 people boo me. It crosses my mind
a little bit.
And I think, if I had to do it all again, what
would i have done? Would I have worn a
leather shirt? Would I have drank half a
bottle of Hennessy and given the rest to
the audience? Y'all know you drank that
bottle too. If I had a daughter at that time,
would I have went on stage and grabbed
the mic from someone else's...
You know this arena, tomorrow, it's gonna
be a completely different set up or
something like that. This stage will be
gone. After that night, the stage will be
gone, but the effect it had on people will
remain. The problem was the contradiction.
The contradiction is: I do fight for artists,
but in that fight I somehow was
disrespectful to artists. I didn't know how
to say the right thing, the perfect thing. I
just... I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin
Timberlake and Cee-Lo lose. Gnarls Barkley
and the Future Sex album...
Justin, I ain't trying to put you on blast
but I saw that man in tears, bro. And I was
thinking like, he deserves to win album of
the year. And this small box that we are in
as the entertainers of the evening. How
could you explain that? Sometimes I feel
like, you know, all this bull shite that they
run about beef and all that, sometimes I
feel like I died for the artist's opinion. For
the artists to be able to have an opinion
after they were successful. I'm not no
politician, bro. And look at that. You know
how many times MTV ran that footage
again? 'cause it got them more ratings.
You know how many times they announced
that Taylor was gonna give me the award?
'cause it got them more ratings. Listen to
the kids, bro.
I still don't understand award shows. I
don't understand how they get five people
who worked their entire life one sold
records, sold concert tickets, to come
stand on a carpet and for the first time in
their life be judged on a chopping block
and have the opportunity to be considered
a loser. I don't understand it, brah. I don't
understand when the biggest album and
the biggest video... I've been conflicted,
bro! I just wanted people to like me more.
frick it bro.
Two thousand and fifteen. I will die for the
art, for what I believe in. The art ain't
always gonna be polite. Y'all might be
thinking right now, "I wonder, did he
smoke something before he came here?"
The answer is yes, I rolled up a little
something to knock the edge off. I don't
know what's gonna happen tonight. I don't
know what's gonna happen tomorrow, bro.
But all I can say to my artist, my fellow
artist, just worry about how you feel at the
time man. Just worry about how you feel
and don't never... I'm confident, I believe
in myself. We the millennials, bro. This is a
new mentality. We're not gonna control
our kids with brands. We're not gonna
teach low self esteem and that to our kids.
We gonna teach our kids that they can be
something. We're gonna teach our kids
that they can stand up for themselves.
We're gonna teach our kids to believe in
themselves. If my grandfather was here
right now he would not let me back down.
I don't know what I'm finna lose after this,
but don't matter though cause it's not
about me. It's about ideas bro, new ideas
bro. People with ideas. People who believe
in truth. And yes, as you probably could
have guessed by this moment, I have
decided in 2020 to run for president.""
Please translate....cuz Im lost.
