honey West had this interview with same low
BBC and the interview was crazy I mean if you
watch the entire thing you see that connie was kinda goes through these
highs in these lows
up he has this moment where he talks about leather jogging pants
he talks about how he is all about product and how he wants to
design buildings he was designed clothing and he wants to do more than
just
fit into this mold as a black rapper he says that throughout his entire
interview
and then he says this and I thought this was actually really powerful statement
that he said so I want to get your
thoughts on it he said we got this new thing called classism
it's not really a new thing but it's racism is cousin this is what we do to
hold people back
and we also got this other thing that's been working for a long time were you
don't have to be racist anymore
it's called self-hate just like that when someone comes up and says
I'm a god and he's referencing a song his new album I'm a god
everyone says with but does he think he is I just want you
I just told you that so I think I am
would be better if I had a sign that said I'm a *** and you
yeah that was actually a very powerful statement because
he does come off as one of the most airgun people I've ever
heard up in my entire life I mean he's constantly self-promoting
costly talking about how superior his music is costly talk about his how is
the number one rapper in the world
are but at the same time whenever we have rappers that put themselves down
they were for themselves as gangsters
or pants or you know the 'n.-word whatever it is
for some reason that's acceptable but when you have a black rapper who says
look
I have very good music I've popular music obviously
I mean the market is decided I'm always at the top of the charts
people look down at that for some reason so I thought that was interesting
look I i've been told I'm kinda for a long time I think the people who
over hype is there are sometimes is like unbelievable genius
when have to stuff is just to rhyme or have it doesn't make sense but other
halves pretty good
right and so your AC Milan bearable when he wants the man's credit for leather
jogging paths
I MPs distinction you know credit
okay i'd give you credit I'm not sure you should want it %uh
and then but at the same time thing kinda reminds me a little bit on the
positive side of Mohammed Ali
you know on the greatest I'm a bad behavior over so I'm sorry I could not
make your mom Italy %uh
mom Italy had his tongue in cheek Muhammad Ali had possessed has had a
flair and all week
Wright County West has none of that I beg to differ and I so I'm split okay
a little but not like Miley who was playing it up
and at I mean connie was getting zeroed
fr that I'm would be better that is a
george bush Ian straw man if there ever was one is there
nothing in between God and the N word that you got yours I guess not
that's it I find something really refreshing
about how much she loves himself because we have like him the result have another
another reason I say that is because
its true like you have to he doesn't want to pretend like he's humble
he's not humble and he's giving everyone else the middle finger if they've
tell him that he needs to be humble if you genuinely loves himself this much
that's cool
I would argue though that he is probably the most insecure person
because if you genuinely do love yourself that much you're not to keep
repeating it
and also kill made fun of him and he got butthurt so ready to talk about that
and if you're really was very confident in yourself you wouldn't care with Jimmy
Kimmel says he's a comedian of course is gonna make fun of you
but in terms of the whole time in cheek thing and and you know mohammed ali
versus Connie West
in that song I am a god at my favorite verses the following I am a god
so hurry up with my damn massage in a franchise restaurant
hurry up with my damn crisslow I every time I hear that
I have died well I didn't look like I read I
I mean I find him unbearable except when he has like Bali
is clearly he has the talent to back it up he is however one
is not just a self-promoter is clearly is exceptionally talented guy
and that's a little funny that like yet it's also not genius so
that's no it's not for us absurd and its a whole areas and I'm I don't know I
like yes
you know I'm a nice time was ag's maybe he was speaking
above a a greater existential troof that we all archives that got so that's what
I was the exit
that way I know it sounds crazy but that's what I got yes that's right I
want her to and that he
when we all archives and we should think about ourselves that way instead of
thinking of ourselves as lesser than
and you know like Nelson Mandela said that you don't you don't help society
your help humanity by thinking less of yourself it's by
letting your light shine its brightest is when you give other people the
unconscious permission to be as great as they can be
while we just compared guy here what's the Nelson Mandela
