Kanye West Bashes Racist Liberal Elite, Addresses Being “Republican Pawn”

Kanye West’s outspoken nature made him a perfect fit for the Joe Rogan Experience. The rapper sat down with Joe Rogan for the latest episode of the podcast where he addressed the rumors that he’s being used as a pawn for the Republican. Beyond that, he used that moment to bash what he describes as the “liberal elite.”

“It was just this calling on my heart. I remember talking to really, like, elitist writers. I was trying to avoid saying White Supremacists but like, elite — the Liberal elites are like… ‘Boy, who you gonna vote on?’ You know, like, ‘who are you to run for office if you can’t even run off ballots?’…,” Kanye said around the 1:48-mark. “People are saying that to me but I could get on ballots,” he continued.

Kanye called out those who claimed he was a pawn for Republicans, saying the Democrats, too, use Black celebrities as pawns. “I’m not trying to take any sides of Democrats or Republicans. I’m just saying why were people so much thinking that I was a form of a pawn,” he continued, adding that he could be considered a “liberal elite” due to the writing on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It should be noted that there have been several reports that Republicans and Trump associates have been tied to Kanye’s presidential campaign.

“One of the most racist things that Liberals who pride themselves on not being racist have said to me is, like, ‘You’re going to split the Black vote.’ And that makes it seem, like, Black people can’t make decisions for ourselves and that don’t no white people know me… They make it seem like only Black people will vote for me. Think about that statement. The nuance of institutionalized racism and this would be like somebody from the art world,” he continued. “No one has really been able to embrace the idea of Blacks not being in a block and staying in one place.”

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
