He also put his thoughts into song with ‘The Jackass Song’. Will writes:
I guess personal moments aren’t personal anymore…
“sad” really…
now here is another distraction for the world…
meanwhile people are losing jobs, education is poor…
and all the youth are gonna eat this “personal” opinion up…
Obama needs Kanye…
he needs Kanye to stimulate the youth to stay focused and fight for “education reform”…
(if Kanye chose to lend himself to do that)
we don’t want Obama to be a “pop, gossip, president”…
he cant be “Perez-i-dent Obama”
get it…???
Perez Hilton gossip man…???
this saddens me…
we are in a mess of mess still…
I dont think it was right that kanye did what he did to “Taylor Swift”
should Kanye have thought of a more effective way to execute his opinion…????
yes
should Kayne have tried to convince Jay-Z to stop in the middle of his MTV performance to acknowledge his wife’s videos…
yes…
