new kanye album...

…the people on TV. And now we are mere surfaces of the energy they are projecting on us. Everybody needs a villain, don’t we. We need to blame someone at all times. And for me to be considered a racist for stating a blatant truth, an obvious truth. But the nuances of my words because, I am very particular with my words, and the emotion that I felt at that time, wasn’t worded exactly right. But everybody came and said “oh my god” — I’m talking about five years ago, I’m not talking about a year ago, I’m talking about Katrina — oh my god Kanye, I love you so much, I hated you until you said that. But now you’re speaking for me, I always thought you were an asshole but now you said something that represents me.”

And the whole time I’m thinking in my mind, “That’s not exactly what I wanted to say. I was emotional, that was not exactly the way I wanted to word it.” But I rode it, I rode it. Just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview, and rode the waves, and rode it, that’s the way I rode the wave of the Bush comment. I rode it. It’s not about popular opinion. It’s about when you look in your heart and know what’s right and wrong.

When you look in your heart, look at what the media did, look at how they exploited him, they said that he said that was his lowest moment. And as a mass, as America, we took that as a fact. If you look at the interview, he said it’s ONE of his lowest moments, and he said it about ten different things. But because of the popularity of me, they exploited that to make you watch the interview and make you feel he was stupider than ever, to think a rapper’s comment could be his lowest moment. That’s not what he fucking said! That’s not what he said. He said it’s ONE of his lowest moments. But it shows you it shows you the way they try to villainize, they way they try to do that.

Everything would have been OK if they didn’t play the audio that day…
