OK, Seriously: What Is Going on With Kanye and These Weirdo Tweets?
Kanye West is still on Twitter acting a damn fool, and we really need to have an honest discussion about it. What exactly is going on over there in the “pristine” white sunken place he has built for himself and his big-booty queen? On Wednesday, West took to Twitter to deliver his opinions on everything…

Kanye West Doesn’t Care About Black People
Last year Panama Jackson, a man who, in the 14 years that we’ve known each other, has become one of my best friends, published a piece about his mother’s support of Donald Trump, and revealed how that ruined his relationship with her. Deciding to write this was very difficult for him; we had countless email,…

Candace Owens, Who Thinks Racism Is All in the Past, Got Paid After Suing Over Racist Attacks
Candace Owens, Kanye West’s new bestie, claims that racism is no longer an issue. Was that before or after her family won a lawsuit for $37,500 from the Stamford, Conn., Board of Education as a result of racism? Perhaps the board should ask for a refund. In 2016, Owens wrote an open letter to the…

What Does Your Favorite Artist Have to Do to Lose Your Support?
Me and you, your mama and your cousin, too, still know people who support R. Kelly. Despite everything that we now (allegedly) know, there are still people who refuse to believe that he’s done or is capable of doing what he’s been accused of. Even though the vast majority of black folks believe that the…

Kanye’s Politics Are What Happens When You Don’t Read Books
As someone who still owns land on Yeezy Island, I was anxious when Kanye West made his return to Twitter a couple weeks ago. Because as those who haven’t yet sold their Yeezy properties know, every time he opens his mouth, property values plummet. So imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw that his subject…

Kanye West, Candace Owens and the Conservative Sunken Place
As an underage college freshman, I was forced to live in an off-campus dormitory with adult supervision. Although I was one of only two black residents in the housing unit, one of the selling points of living in this dorm was their monthly offerings of entertainment as an alternative to college drunkfests. In one particular…

I’m Really Excited for This Kanye West and Kid Cudi Album
Kid Cudi is one of my favorite artists ever. I still think Man on the Moon, Vol. II: The Legend of Mr. Rager is one of the most ambitious and brilliant forays into the mind of a person struggling with mental health issues. It’s got layers. When Kid Cudi decided that he needed to step…

A Sad Day for Hip-Hop: Kris Jenner Is Now ‘Momaging’ Kanye West and Travis Scott
For those who guessed that Kanye West’s parting of the ways with his longtime manager last week was to make room for Mama Kris—you were right. Page Six reports that Kris Jenner, hustling matriarch of the Kardashian clan, has taken on not only rapper-producer West, who is married to her daughter Kim Kardashian, but also…

Did a Taylor Swift Script Dead Donald Glover’s Deadpool?
If Tyler Perry was able to get his Boondock’s episode scrubbed from every crack of the interwebs, it is entirely plausible that the whitest of all white womanhood, Taylor Swift, would be just the girl to dead Donald Glover’s Deadpool. Stephen Glover, Donald’s brother and creative partner, all but confirmed it. Earlier this week, after…

What’s Going on Between Kanye West and Former Marvel CEO David Maisel? Hmmm
Something’s in the water (good and bad?) between Marvel folks and rapper-moguls. A little over a week ago, FX released a statement confirming that Marvel, Donald Glover and his brother Stephen pulled the plug on an animated Deadpool show. This morning, Glover tweeted that he wasn’t too busy to complete the show—as previously assumed—and shared…
