Okay... I'm not going to get into it all, but we've been keeping up with Kanye more than we have been keeping up with the Kardashian's lately.
From producing 5 albums and dropping it every Friday this past month (with some delays that we will excuse simply because Kanye,) to supporting Trump & his comments about "slavery being a choice" on TMZ.
Why am I bringing this up...again? Well, he recently opened up to "The New York Times" and explained it all: why he supports Trump, why he feels his comments on TMZ were taken out of context and more.
When it comes to supporting Trump he explains he feels he's expected to be a Democrat, especially because of being a 'successful black man' in America.
West said: "I believe that I’m actually a better father because I got my [expletive] voice back, I’m a better artist because I got my voice back. I was living inside of some universe that was created by the mob-thought, and I had lost who I was, so that’s when I was in the sunken place. You look in my eyes right now — you see no sunken place."
Does he agree with Trump? The answer is NO, "I don’t agree with all of his policies." West said.
When he was asked to clarify his comments about 'slavery being a choice' on TMZ he said:
“Well, I never said that. I said the idea of sitting in something for 400 years sounds — sounds — like a choice to me, I never said it’s a choice,” he added. ”I never said slavery itself — like being shackled in chains — was a choice. That’s why I went from slave to 400 years to mental prison to this and that. If you look at the clip you see the way my mind works. I think an extreme thing; I adjust it, I adjust it, I adjust it. That’s the way I get to it, but I have to push to, you know, the furthest concept possible."
