Kanye has had a genuine interest in, and passion for, style and fashion. He was never just the average rapper who got some money and suddenly decided to dress how rich people dress. Though he’s played a part in creating the “monster” he has a right to be critical. More so than any other rapper who just blindly fed into the consumerism with no regard for the craft or art of style and fashion.

Good interview Elliot!!!
Realistically says:
Kanye cannot be a voice for the middle class – he is upper class now. No, Kanye, you don’t relate to me anymore. This is evident from your silence during your presence at the Occupy Wallstreet Movement. Stop sucking his booty cheek, Elliott Wilson. He’s creative, but the white girl was right – he is a walking contradiction.

KILLA says:
It was a good discussion and like the commenter above stated the song is “New Slaves” not Black Slaves. I wanted to point out though it seems to me like there is a imaginary boundary of which not to cross on this HUFF POST live show. While, I notice that there is profanity on the show and somewhat open dialogue it appears like when the language or topic gets a bit “hairy” like should we go there the interview ends or the host jumps to another topic because it was weird how the discussion just stopped although I’m sure there is a time frame to keep in mind but when the host interviewed The Breakfast Club he was quick to switch the topic when it started getting touchy in the subject.
Good Interview, I gotta salute Kanye on the marketing of his new album!
