Kanye West was at the TMZ headquarterds earlier today. Kanye being Kanye upset someone at TMZ.
A staff member of TMZ, Van Lathan, got heated and argued with Kanye West after Ye stated that slavery was a choice.
Kanye states, " When you hear about slavery for 400 years, that sounds like a choice.
Like, you was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all? It’s like we’re mentally in prison. I like the word prison, because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks. It’s like slavery, Holocaust, Holocaust, Jews. Slavery is blacks. So prison is something that unites us as one race, the human race."
Kanye then spoke about free thought and Van Lathan argued right after; Van says,
“I actually don’t think you’re thinking anything,” Lathan said. “I think what you’re doing right now is actually the absence of thought.”
“Kanye, you’re entitled to your opinion, you’re entitled to believe whatever you want, but there is fact and real life consequence behind everything that you just said,” Lathan continued. “While you are making music and being an artist, and living the life that you’ve earned by being a genius, the rest of us in society have to deal with these threats to our lives.”
“We have to deal with the marginalization that has come from 400 years of slavery that you said, for our people, was a choice,” he added. “Frankly, I’m disappointed, I’m appalled, and brother, I am unbelievably hurt by the fact that you have morphed into something, to me, that’s not real.”
Do you all miss the old Kanye? Or like this one better?
Do you all think he is just wilding out because he has two albums on the way?
