BEAUTIFUL DOPE

the world around you seeks to BLIND you from the truth. BEAUTIFUL DOPE seeks to OPEN your eyes to the things you might not see because they don't want you to. Fashion, Life, Art, illumination, and knowledge. "Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses".

This ‘Negro’ was taught of his native Africa that it was peopled by heathen, black savages, swinging like monkeys from trees. This ‘Negro’ accepted this along with every other teaching of the slavemaster that was designed to make him accept and obey and worship the white man.

Watch Kanye West Repeatedly Get His Ass Handed to Him

Kanye West has been so present in the media lately, between promotional appearances and his regular mid-concert “visionary streams of consciousness” (as he calls them), that any interview warranting a mention must be pretty damn special. His showing earlier today on New York’s Power 105 is one such interview. For over 40 minutes, the hosts (especially Wendy Williams’ former sidekick, Charlamagne the God), pummeled Ye with questions, frequently pointing out his contradictions. These included:

lololololololololololololol

yeezy makes some aite points but.

[lifesbeautiiful]

I wonder what part of the interview people watched; Kanye West spent 40 minutes not acknowledging half of the BULLSHIT that came from the poisonous Charlemagne and continuously focused on his message, of anti everything. say whatever you like, but I can't agree with anyone shutting him down, that's not what I observed.
