The Beck/Swift days were some good times on DU. Forget what Kanye "understands," he's the black Donald Trump.

So to speak, it will prove that way too many Americans are too fucking dumb to govern themselves.

Yeah...that’s all we need. Another know nothing, arrogant, dumbass narcissist that thinks he’s qualified to be the President of the United States.

I’d like to see him defenestrated if he pulls out of this assignment. Or even before his assignment. Kanye is one less useless idiot we can do without.

For Kanye, doesn’t mean you should believe or promote every bad thing written about him. Kanye gets 15 percent of profit from Adidas. He sold a billion dollars in product last year. When he claimed to be in debt of 53 million was in the throes of his mania before being hospitalized. I have no idea if this was a real debt or not. Point is, he has a lucrative deal with Adidas, even the if he had that debt
